BACKGROUNDBACKGROUND
The National Youth Football league was founded in 2006 by Luther Campbell as a complete program that enables young men and women to be able to play football and cheer in a safe and healthy environment. The goal of the program is to bring surrounding communities together and provide a mentoring environment for the cheerleaders and players. The program creates an atmosphere that cultivates the ideals of accountability and responsibility as well as the importance of education and teamwork..
Unlike other programs, the NYFL is not a pay to play league. It is designed to operate through sponsor and volunteers to provide the full benefits and access to everyone regardless of income.
As hip-hop's original bad boy, pop culture icon, and consummate businessman, Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell, is one of the few American celebrities who has had an indelible impact on the worlds of rap music, sex, business, law, and politics simultaneously. The first Southern rap star to emerge on the Billboard Pop Charts with "Move Something," Luther Campbell Also established the first independent hip-hop label in The Dirty South with Luke Records, (originally named Skyywalker Records) in 1983. After seeing how much money Luke Records made from releasing their music independently and how much freedom it offered artistically, everyone wanted to own and operate their own record label. This accomplishment was groundbreaking because Luke Records was the first and only African-American owned and operated label. Campbell made national headlines in the early 1990s as a part of The 2 Live Crew when he led one of Hip-Hop's most noted victories in society -- the right of Freedom of Speech in our music. His highly publicized obscenity trials and Supreme Court parody cases were First Amendment victories upon which the entertainment industry still benefits.
ABOUT LUTHER CAMPBELLABOUT LUTHER CAMPBELL
LUTHER CAMPBELLLUTHER CAMPBELL
In 2000, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honored Campbell's contribution to hip-hop by including photographs of him and items of his clothing in its "Hip-Hop Nation: Roots, Rhymes and Rage" exhibit.
In 2004, Luke won the very first Free Speech Coalition "Celebrity Freedom Fighter Award" for his free speech clashes with the federal government. The Free Speech Coalition is the trade association bible for the adult entertainment awards. Campbell's fight for artist freedom of expression paved the way for the lyrical freedom enjoyed today’s artists. A constant trendsetter, Luther Campbell's brand exceeds far beyond what you'd imagine. He is not just a company he is an enterprise.
No matter what your personal views about Luther Campbell, you can't discount his influence on the entertainment industry, his business acumen, and his place as the Godfather of Southern Hip-Hop. If the mark of greatness is when everything before you is obsolete and everything behind you bears your mark then by today’s artists. Luther "Uncle Luke," Campbell has left his mark on the American culture as a whole. If you ask Uncle Luke, he simply wants to be respected for his contribution and acknowledged as "the man who brought artist entrepreneurship into hip-hop and fought for your First Amendment right!"
