Uncle Luke recently expressed his frustration about the lack of Florida Hip-Hop artists included in the numerous 50th anniversary Hip-Hop celebrations that've taken place all year. He went on Instagram to vent about the issue, while offering comfort to longtime fans of Florida rap music.

“Hip-hop fans from Florida. Don’t be upset they don’t recognize your favorite Floridian artists as part of hip-hop’s 50th year celebrations,” Luke began. “This industry has never considered us as hip-hop from the time I started hip-hop in the south," he began. "You can only imagine the names they called us. Country booty music trash, music. I can go on and on [about] the disrespect towards Florida hip-hop. Still to this day, we fight for our respect, and you have stood behind us every step of the way. We will continue fighting. There will be a day this year where we come together and celebrate Florida hip-hop artist from the top of the state to the bottom. We love you Thank You for your support. #flahiphopallday.”

Snoop Dogg caught wind of Luke's comments, and offered his support.

"I love and respect what u did for me and my hip hop journey uncle Luke on and off the mic [microphone emoji] let’s do a southwest Hip hop celebration so we can get the flowers to you and the other founders who mean so much to this thang called hip hop,” he wrote in Luke's comments section. “Love and Respect. O. G. Can’t spell hip hop without the south or the west..."

DJ Premier also chimed in with his support. “Salute Uncle Luke and massive Florida heritage of HIP HOP.”
