	Luther Campbell
		For a time one of the most controversial figures in the music business, Luther Campbell was launched on his road to notoriety in 1985 when he began his association with the rap group 2 Live Crew.
		Campbell then assumed management duties for 2 Live Crew, signing them to his newly-founded Luke Skyywalker Records label and releasing their single Throw The D -- a track that helped to establish what would come to be known as the "Miami Bass" sound.
		Campbell would not prevail in his next legal action, however, when director George Lucas forced him to drop the reference to the Luke Skywalker character from his label and his personal credits that same year.

	The ace of Miami bass \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Luther "Luke" Campbell - frontman of 2 Live Crew, CEO of Skyywalker Records, cable TV phenomenon and one-man cottage industry - was never a man unduly burdened by modesty.
		So, at a stage in his career where most artists would be content to release a greatest hits, Luke has instead produced a three-volume box set, two discs of which are an audio book chronicling his "freakiest escapades".
		Campbell essentially marketed himself as a brand from the mid-1980s onwards, popping up in videos for tracks that he made little contribution to, touting his Freakshow pay-per-view show on cable TV and turning Skyywalker records into a going concern (occasionally forgetting to pay artists their royalties helped to balance the books).

		Ultimately, this album is no major departure here for Campbell, more of a retrenchment in purposeful seediness, as SOMETHIN` NASTY finds our boy still as nasty as he wants to be.
