Hydraulic! Hydraulic! Score! Luther Campbell AKA Luke AKA Luke Skyywalker AKA Uncle Luke got married in Dallas on the 17th of July. The former front man of 2 Live Crew married Kristin Thompson in front of 300 friends, family, and hatin' ass busters according to The San Francisco Gate [1]. We don't know diddly about Kristin Thompson except that she met Luther Campbell in a deli in Florida (we assume Miami). We're confident that she's a nice, clean girl because there is no way that Luke would attempt to make a ho a housewife. Sure, Dr. Dre was the one who warned against it but we're confident that 1990's style booty bass is predicated upon that credo.
We're willing to bet that "Me So Horny," 2 Live Crew's magnum opus, has gotten many, many couples together since its 1989 release. We're also willing to bet that there was a correlation between the number of plays that song got and the level of debauchedness of a spring break in Panama City circa 1993.
You may be thinking, "Damn, some of 2 Live Crew's lyrics were a touch misogynistic [2]. Who would want to marry their most visible member?" Interestingly, Luther Campbell addresses that and more in an earnest interview with Time Out New York [3]. Strange days. VH1 [4] is starting a reality show, Parental Advisory, about Campbell on August 4th. It follows him as he manages an adult business (shocker), a couple of teenage kids (his), and a fiancé (spoiler: they get married). It can't be any worse than all those shows with Flava Flav. Do you think R Kelly [5] is going to get this kind of kid gloves, nostalgic treatment in 10 years? Are they even comparable?
