Скачать или смотреть Luther Campbell of 80s rap group ‪2 Live Crew‬, on why he wrote "The Book of Luke"

Today a 54-year-old youth football coach, Luther Campbell's Miami rap group ‪‎2 Live Crew‬ and its successful independent label made him an 80's superstar and multi-millionaire, but also a center of controversy. The “King of Dirty Rap” infuriated the conservative mainstream when hip hop crossed the color line, forcing Campbell to battle all the way to the Supreme Court for his and other artists' right to free speech—setting landmark legal precedents. Speaking August 2015 at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention, he shared why he wrote his new Harper Collins memoir, "The Book of Luke: My Fight for Truth, Justice, and Liberty City." His journey saw record stores cited for selling the 1989 "As Nasty As They Wanna Be" album (w/ the single "Me So Horny"), the first time ever in the U.S.; the group arrested for obscenity violations after a Broward County performance; international exposure; support from freedom of speech advocates; famed professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. testifying at their trial; an obscenity ruling overturned, with the U.S. Supreme Court refusing to hear Broward County's appeal; and the "Banned in the U.S.A." album the first ever slapped w/the Recording Industry Association of America's "Parental Advisory" label.
