nypost.com:

2 Live Crew rapper Luther Campbell is planning to run for Congress to rep his home state of Florida — accompanied by a flashy documentary film to chronicle his challenge to the Washington establishment, The Post can confirm.Campbell, 63, the frontman of the hip-hop legends whose 1989 album “As Nasty As They Wanna Be” was the center of a landmark obscenity case, told Page Six last week that he was plotting a run for federal office.“I’m gonna make an announcement in a couple of weeks,” he said. “I think I have a great chance of winning.”Campbell, also known as “Uncle Luke,” officially launched a political committee in January to explore unseating incumbent Rep.

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) in the Sunshine State’s 20th Congressional District, The Bulwark reported Friday.Campbell, better known as a diehard fan of University of Miami football than for politics, will hope to channel his star power against the incumbent, who has already been endorsed by House Speaker emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — while being as nasty as he wants to be to Republicans like Rep.

Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and former President Donald Trump.“I get to fight these mother f–kers,” Campbell told the Bulwark in an interview. “Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump, and all these crazy-ass Republicans who want to divide us.”“I’m living my ideal.

I have the opportunity to bring something back to the community,” Campbell added.“As Nasty As They Wanna Be” — an album on which the leadoff track, “Me So Horny,” sampled lurid come-ons spoken by a Vietnamese prostitute in Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 war flick “Full Metal Jacket — was declared legally obscene in 1990 by South Florida federal judge Jose Gonzalez, Jr.
