00:00You have been, like, I'm going to say you are OG status, right, we're going to put it
00:07out there.
00:08So earlier this week, we had, you know, Luke, Luke Campbell, Uncle Luke, Uncle Luke, my
00:14man, on the web saying all you female rappers, specifically Sexy Red, I Am Spice, Megan Thee
00:20Stallion, you guys owe me royalties because all that booty shaking, all that talking about,
00:25you know, for J.J.'s, yes, he's right.
00:29So you're agreeing with him?
00:30I agree with Uncle Luke.
00:31Give Uncle Luke his money, okay?
00:32I mean, well, listen, we are being dead serious.
00:35Everybody just chip him off a little something, just a little something.
00:38Wait, so are you dead serious?
00:40Yes, I am serious.
00:41No way.
00:42No, I'm serious.
00:43If Luke started this, man, the pioneers need to get paid, okay?
00:47Luke needs his money, okay?
00:49Sexy Red, Megan Thee Stallion, I Am Spice, Big Lotto, all of y'all, at least do something,
00:56buy him a six-pack of beer or something.
00:58Oh, my goodness.
00:59Wait, okay, wait.
01:00Okay, so let's take it back.
01:01What about the Lil' Kims, the Foxes?
01:03They owe Luke money, too.
01:04Everybody owe Luke money.
01:05Oh, my goodness.
01:06I owe Luke money, okay?
01:07Everybody owe Luke.
01:08Everybody in the business owe Luke some money.
01:11I mean, but, okay, but let's be real.
01:13Let's put it on the table.
01:14I mean, he know he ain't gonna get the money, but he's just saying it.
01:17I'm not saying, yes, he's gonna get the money, but, you know, let's put it on the table.
01:21It's a real conversation.
01:23Was he the one that kind of made it safe for people to kind of talk nasty like that?
01:29Absolutely, disgustingly nasty.
01:31Yes, he may.
01:32Remember, Luke went to the Supreme Court for the right to say what he was saying.
01:37What they're saying now, he went to the Supreme Court for it, and he won.
01:41So, big up to Uncle Luke.
01:43Yeah, Uncle Luke, yeah.
01:44I'm called as nasty as they want to be.
01:47Right.
01:48Honestly, that's a good point, and you know what?
01:50A lot of people forget that he went to the Supreme Court.
01:52Was it for the rated R?
01:54Yeah, for the sticker and all that.
01:56Wow.
01:57So he didn't have the constitutional right to say what you want to say.
01:59So big up to Uncle Luke all the time.
