More than 20 years after the dawn of booty music, South Florida clubgoers are still shaking that ass
On Aug. 4 at Cafe Iguana in Pembroke Pines, no one seemed more surprised to find Campbell on a red carpet for the premiere of his VH1 reality show, "Luke's Parental Advisory," than the self-described "freak without warning" himself. It's been nearly 20 years since the release of 2 Live Crew's controversial hit "Me So Horny," so it made sense that Uncle Luke took this opportunity for national exposure to heart. "For me to still be relevant enough to do a show like this," he says, "it means a lot."
Like most VH1 reality shows, "Luke's Parental Advisory" pits a past-his-prime celebrity against his public persona. In Campbell's case, the show is all about karmic justice. The premiere episode features the composer of "Hoochie Mama" confronting his 14-year-old son, Luther Jr., about a relationship with a 15-year-old girl who has a kid. We also see Campbell try to convince his daughter to take dating advice. A few episodes into the series, it seems as if Campbell has gone soft, particularly as he and his 27-year-old fiancée plan their wedding. But the Uncle Luke we all know and love appears in a later episode, when he delivers a surprise to his family in the form of a 2-year-old son from a previous relationship.
