NO LONGER "BANNED IN THE U.S.A," LUTHER "LUKE" CAMPBELL IS LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM
Back in the day, hip-hop' s original bad boy and former member of 2 Live Crew, Luther "Luke" Campbell paved the way for freedom of lyrical expression by challenging America's justice system. Now Luke is getting a taste of his own medicine as he tries to protect his two children from today's raunchy influences, just as parents tried to do with his music. For the first time, this notorious bachelor is settling down and trying to separate business and family life. Welcome to hip-hop artist/producer/entrepreneur Luther "Luke" Campbell's world.
"Luke's Parental Advisory" gives viewers a look inside the day-to-day life of the man who introduced the "booty-shaking" element to hip-hop known as "Miami Bass," and won the music industry's biggest freedom of speech battle in the Supreme Court which resulted in warning labels on music. Today, Luke's hands are full with planning his wedding to Kristin, a successful lawyer and beautiful 27 year-old fiancee, giving his 17-year old daughter Lacresha's boyfriend the third degree, and confiscating pornography tapes from under 15 year-old Luther Jr.'s bed. Also central to Luke's life are his weekly trips to the local barbershop, Cut It Up, where the lively regulars listen to Luke pontificate and then bring him right back down to size.
But make no mistake, Luke Campbell has not totally traded in his former lifestyle for the straight and narrow road. Luke vows to have the bachelor party of all bachelor parties, plans to wear hip-hop attire instead of a tuxedo, and wants a cake designed as a silhouette of a woman on his wedding day. Luke and his family and friends will also be active on FamousVh1Friends.com - an innovative new social network that allows fans to connect directly with every member of the cast, view their personal pictures and video blogs and meet other fans of the show.
