The Resume

    Member, 2 Live Crew
    Nicknamed 'Uncle Luke,' 'Luke' and 'Luke Skyywalker'

Why he might be annoying:

    He recorded some of the most salacious songs ever.
    George Lucas sued him for copyright infringement over the use of 'Luke Skyywalker.'
    He acted as 2 Live Crew's 'hype man,' shouting at the audience while other member's rapped.
    He claimed to have paid Miami Hurricane football players big money for every touchdown, and threatened to expose other team violations if his pick of starting quarterback was not chosen (1993).
    He had 5 children from a variety of baby mommas.
    In 2008, he wed a much younger attorney.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was one of the first to bring Southern Rap and Miami Bass to a national level.
    He liked big butts years before Sir Mix-A-Lot.
    In the 1994 Supreme Court case Campbell v. Acuff-Rose, stemming from the 2 Live Crew take on Roy Orbison's 'Pretty Woman,' established parody qualified as fair use.
    His raunchy rap reinforced the First Amendment.
