<div style="font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">And you thought your neighbor’s dad who drove a Suburban was cool.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Today in Florida news, former 2 Live Crew member Luther Campbell recieved permission from the state to serve as the defensive coordinator at Miami Northwestern High School. This is news today because it’s been a slow news day! Campbell already had a temporary permit from the state, however today he will now be known for as long as he abides by the</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">rules</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">as Coach Luke.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The “rules” however are much different then the ones your creepy friend’s dad gets to coach an AYSO team. He must complete ethics classes, notify the state if he gets involved in the adult entertainment industry, and provide proof that he has made child support payments.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 10px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">So that is that. If he does not promote porn or open a strip club and he pays his child support, he can coach young adults in America’s most ethical game: football. Let’s hope his tenure at the school is much more successful then his run for mayor of Miami.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<em>“You can do that lil’ set me up in the studio shit in New York, but in California nigga, that’s where the G’s ride.”</em></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<em><br /></em></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
The Internet can take a person to the strangest and most ironic corners if they actually allow it. So imagine my enjoyment, shock and surprise upon landing on this vintage Uncle Luke and Tupac interview. <span id="more-313146" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></span>While the clip features Pac revealing the thought process behind <em>Euthanasia</em> – the original title for what would become <em>All Eyez On Me</em> – and the expected shots at Faith Evans, The Notorious B.I.G. and Bad Boy, the painful and haunting moments resonate when Afeni’s iconic offspring speaks on his Quad Studios shooting in 1994 and bulletproof vest. Loaded off Hennessy and Coke, Tupac (alongside the late Johnny J) infamously boasts while showing off his protective gear, “I got shot five times and ain’t nare bullet go in my chest. These shits ain’t no good.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Following Luke’s assertion he had no need for bulletproof vests, Shakur’s prophetic answer of him not wanting “niggas to switch up on me” is a vexatious reminder of what would fall in his lap not even a year later. Particularly during the second half of his career, this was the Tupac the media came to know and antagonize, which, in all honesty, was apart of his Gemini personality; the cocky, ignorant, loud-mouthed loose cannon who lived life in the fast lane. Even today, nearly 16 years to the month of his murder, Pac’s ability gravitate between compassionate, to venomous and back to compassionate again remains his calling card. Pac’s time with Luke here was just as much who he was as, say, “I Ain’t Mad At Cha.”</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">
Hindsight is 20/20, but the question of what if Pac decided to wear that same vest the night of September 7, 1996, remains an indelible black cloud on the genre and generation he helped revolutionize.</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 8px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
On ESPN’s <em>First Take</em> a week* ago, Bristol Race Relations Guru Skip Bayless extended an invitation to former 2 Live Crew rapper/official South Beach strip club welcoming committee/part-time <em>Miami New Times </em>columnist Luther Campbell to debate him on his stupid show.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 8px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<em>*Or months? Years? Eons? I don’t know. I don’t watch </em>First Take<em>, because it’s stupid (see above), and when I had to because of work time seemed to move slower than usual.</em></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 8px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Alas, the invitation has since been recanted. That’s according to Uncle Luke, who today told the <em>New Times</em> that he was informed, by way of his publicist, that <em>First Take’s</em> talent booker had taken back the invite.</div>
<blockquote style="background-color: #ededed; border: 1px solid rgb(200, 200, 200); clear: both; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', sans-serif; line-height: 17px; margin: 10px 25px; padding: 5px 11px; text-align: left;">
<div style="line-height: 1.4; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
“My <em>New Times</em> piece got me on the banned list,” Campbell says. “Skip only wants token people to go on the air with him.”</div>
</blockquote>

The <em>New Times </em>piece in question is a February 28th ditty in which Luke calls Skip the following, with varying degrees of accuracy.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

According to the Florida Department of Education, former 2 Live Crew member Luther Campbell better known as Uncle Luke “lacks the required good moral character” to coach students. Campbell is known for his raunchy rap albums of the 80s and 90s, is currently the defensive coordinator for Miami Northwestern high school’s football team. After three seasons of coaching with a temporary certificate, Campbell needs a permanent one to continue coaching in Miami-Dade County after the 2012-2013 school year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
An administrative judge gave Campbell the go ahead for the certification, but the Florida Department of Education repealed the judge’s recommendation after looking into Campbell’s past rap exploits. The final decision rests with the Florida’s Education Practices Commission. The organization is expected to make a final ruling sometime this summer. <em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Sports Illustrated</em> has the full story:</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Miami Northwestern High’s defensive coordinator stood before his players last month with a marker in his hand and a board full of plays at his back. “Any time in this game we’re going to check goal line, I’m going to go Eagle,” he yelled, referring to a blitz call. “We’re going to hit the quarterback all night.” The players nodded. Some smiled. Some scowled.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
His pregame chalk talk concluded, the coordinator bounded over to the offense. He told those players to score so often that the host, Vero Beach High, would be forced to use a running clock in the second half. As he returned to the defensive side of the locker room, the coordinator noticed a young defensive tackle with his jersey hanging down to his hips. “Shirts in,” he yelled, staring at the sophomore playing his first spring game with the varsity. Then the coordinator smirked. “We kick asses,” he said, “with class.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
The coordinator knows more about moving posteriors than he does about kicking them.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">It’s tracks like this that give me a great glimpse into what should be great summer for music. French Montana finally releases the long awaited track “Pop That” which features Rick Ross, Drake, and Lil Wayne and Uncle Luke. The song will definitely be a banger for the summer thanks to the the back up help that French Montana got from MMG and YMCMB.</span></div>

This week, Luke says African-Americans may find a new vacation spot unless attitudes change on Miami Beach.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Note to African-American tourists who showed up in Miami for Memorial Day weekend: Next year, book your four-day vacation in Myrtle Beach, Nassau, or Cancun, where your tourism dollars will be appreciated. Miami Beach Mayor Matti Bower and the city commissioners have certainly made it clear that they don't you back. In response to last year's police shooting of an unarmed man and several innocent bystanders, the politicians turned Miami Beach into a three-day police state.</div>
</span><a href="" name="more" style="background-color: #fcfcfc; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
</a><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, the enormous police presence was just a show to make the residents feel safer. But it created even more racial tension in a city with a history of excluding people of color.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Miami Beach doesn't roll out the red carpet for African-American visitors as it does for those who attend the boat show, Art Basel, and the South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Instead, black people are greeted by thousands of cops, paddy wagons, police watchtowers, DUI checkpoints, cameras scanning their license plates, and a healthy dose of racial profiling.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
It's no wonder some African-Americans stayed away from Miami Beach this time around. The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau projected Miami Beach hotels were only 76, 77, and 72 percent full Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, compared with 82, 90, and 85 percent during the same three-day period last year.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier this year, I met with Bower and told her the city needed to take ownership of Memorial Day weekend with an organized event -- maybe something like the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, which offers a mix of hip-hop, R&B, and jazz. She ignored my advice and locked down the city.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Now I understand that residents leave town and some businesses don't make money when the crowds descend on the city for Memorial Day, but the city is pitting people against each other by creating all this tension. I certainly don't want residents to feel they have to leave their homes. I want us to work together to put on an event that we all can be proud of.</div>
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
It's time for Bower to bring blacks and Miami Beach residents together with a host committee that will work on making Memorial Day weekend special for everybody.</div>

Luther Campbell, also known as Uncle Luke, didn’t have a good bid during his political run last year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify;">
A Florida state administrative judge suggested he coach football instead, especially since he’s been in the field for some years.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify;">
The recommendation came on Tuesday after the state refused to certify the 51 year old who has been an assistant coach with local approval in Miami.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify;">
Education officials didn’t want to see the man doing what he loves, citing his degrading and inappropriate rap lyrics, raunchy stage performances with naked women, and an arrest record as reason to keep him from being certified.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; line-height: 20px; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: justify;">
However, Judge Robert Meale shared with the court that he had coached inner city youth and high school football without incident for years.</div>

The project in question might not go all-out on the salacious tip; Banner says, "The title is used to draw people in to think that it's about sex, drugs and video games, but it's about why people shouldn't regurgitate those things and if life was a video game who would control it?" Which is a virtuous stance, but one that didn't stop us from pestering Banner to take a quick trip through his own hip-hop-related sex, drug and video game annals.</span></div>

I've been listening to hip-hop for so long—I started listening to hip-hop when I was six years old—so I'm not quite sure if this is the right answer, but I'd say it would probably be Uncle Luke and the 2 Live Crew and their first album [<em style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">2 Live Crew Is What We Are</em>]. The whole of that first album, ha ha, that whole album you can pick any song off there it don't matter 'cause it's about sex!</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What was your first impression of the 2 Live Crew when you heard the album?</b></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
I hope my moms don't hear me listening to this! I was just really really concerned about my mom and what she'd think if she heard me listening to that. To this day, I still do. As vocal as I can be at at times when I make songs, I still think about what would my mom think about this. I mean, she didn't love me listening to the 2 Live Crew, but I didn't get in trouble.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When you heard Luke's sex raps, did you find them humorous?</b></div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
I would say there was humor but some of them were just sounding smooth to me. I mean, my parents just laid the foundation for everything to be seen as entertainment—if kids are influenced by music or television it's because of a lack of discipline or education at home. So I definitely listened to them but took them for what they were.</div>

You can pick any of the songs off of Keith Sweat's first album! That would do it!</div>

It would be amazing—lots of 808s! I'd keep his music high-tempo and go in on the 808s!</div>

This week, Luke warns that Justin Bieber might be on a dark path similar to the one followed by other young pop stars such as Lindsay Lohan.</span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 24px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 24px;">On May 5, I invited some friends to my house to watch the Miguel Cotto-Floyd Mayweatherfight. We were all surprised when the baddest of all bad-boy black dudes, Floyd Mayweather, walked into the ring with Justin Bieber, the world's most beloved innocent white teenager. Bieber must have gone rogue, because no record executive would h</span><span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 24px;">ave allowed the Canadian crooner to be seen next to one of the most hated boxers in history. That kid just seemed so out of place. He doesn't even know how to put on a mean face.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: #fcfcfc; border: 0px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;"></span><br />
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Maybe Bieber, like Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears, is getting tired of being a squeaky-clean pop star. A lot of these universally loved mainstream artists grow weary of their public vanilla personalities. They simply don't want to be nice and cute anymore. They want to be hard-core. Look at Whitney Houston. When she sang the National Anthem before Super Bowl XXV in 1991, she became America's sweetheart. But it was all downhill from there. She married bad-boy R&B singer Bobby Brown and began doing drugs and abusing alcohol.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
MC Hammer is another example. He got tired of being a pop rapper known for his dancing skills, so he made a thug record. No one bought it, and people were like, "What the fuck are you doing?"</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Last week, Bieber told <span style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Us Weekly</span> he was relieved to have graduated from high school. "At school, usually you have to do a lot of writing and reading," he said. "I'm not really into that stuff. I like to be out there." So Bieber's handlers need to get him under control soon, or he could get into some serious trouble.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
If they see Justin doing any of the following, they'll know he has lost his mind:</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
• He gets a teardrop tattoo on his face and wears his pants saggy like Lil Wayne's.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
• He beats up his girlfriend à la Chris Brown, who was a squeaky-clean pop star before he punched Rihanna.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
• He tries to date Miami rapper Trina.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
• He rides around South Beach in a Bugatti during Memorial Day weekend while wearing a wifebeater and a diamond pendant chain.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
• He hangs out with Mayweather at King of Diamonds and makes it rain on the strippers.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you see Bieber doing any of those things, you know he's in need of Dr. Phil.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Uncle Luke has always been in the spotlight over some kind of controversy.

<span style="background-color: white;">Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell is no stranger to controversy brought on by his music, but more than two decades after his first 2 Live Crew album, the rapper is still getting into trouble over his lyrics. A Florida judge has approved Campbell's request to coach a football team, after the state refused him certification on the basis of his music's “raunchy lyrics,” and his “string of arrests.”<span id="more-156876"></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The one-time mayoral candidate, has been volunteering as an assistant coach, but officials still saw his past as reason enough to not allow him to officially work in Florida schools.

Former 2 Live Crew frontman Luther ‘Uncle Luke’ Campbell has scored a small victory against Florida’s education authorities after a court ruled that he should be allowed to coach high school football. Uncle Luke has been looking to take over a team but education officials barred him from coaching after citing his raunchy career as a rapper.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Education authorities were unwilling to give Uncle Luke a chance to coach his own team due to a string of arrests and the lyrics of his songs, citing an incident in South Carolina where two women removed their clothing on stage during one of his performances as an example of the negative influence they say he would have on Florida’s youth.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Judge Robert Meale countered that most of the charges laid against Uncle Luke were ultimately dropped except for two misdemeanor firearms related charges that occurred more than 25 years ago. Meale went even further and pointed out the rapper’s track record as a volunteer assistant coach citing his work with Miami’s inner city youth.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Arial; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Whether or not Meale’s recommendation will be accepted by Education Commissioner Gerard Robinson remains to be seen, but Luke can take his case to an appellate court if he is refused certification.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;">Judge Robert Meale made his recommendation Tuesday. The state refused to certify the 51-year-old rapper although he's been volunteering as an assistant coach with local approval in Miami. Education officials cited his songs' raunchy lyrics, a string of arrests and a performance with two women who removed their clothing in South Carolina.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
Meale, though, noted the charges were dropped except for a couple misdemeanor gun crimes more than 25 years ago. He also wrote that Campbell has coached inner-city youth and high school football without incident for years.</div>

But I do know that Uncle Luke's article claiming Karl Rove is racist for his ad criticizing President Obama for being too "cool" ("Luke's Gospel: The Real Message of Rove's Attack Ad: Obama Is Too Black to Be President," Luther Campbell, May 10) is itself subliminally racist. It implies only blacks can be "cool" and therefore is a racist argument. I believe the real question is whether Obama's actions have been presidential. That is a question that should be decided by the voters.</span>
