http://www.vladtv.com - Uncle Luke opens up about the drama that followed after he created the Parental Advisory sticker to warn retailers and potential buyers that his group's music contained explicit content. The famed Miami rapper says that a PTA president from Mobile, Alabama, sent him a letter about young children getting their hands on 2 Live Crew's risque albums, so Luke felt like they needed to have a warning label to put a stop to this. Little did he know that the label would draw attention from Dan Quayle and other government officials who pursued the group.
The conversation then switches to Luke's role as a label exec and the artists he has signed, including Trick Daddy and Pitbull. He mentions a deal that he did with Sony Relativity that went bad after Luke claims they tried to carry out a "hostel takeover" of his company, leading him to file bankruptcy to get out of the deal.
