Luther R. Campbell, also known as Luke Skyywalker, Uncle Luke or Luke, is a record label owner and rap perfomer (taking the non-rapping role of "hype man"). He is perhaps best known as a one-time member of 2 Live Crew.

Campbell's work as a performer can be characterised as Southern Rap; most of it is part of the Miami Bass sub-genre. The sexual content of his group's lyrics caused controversy and led to legal cases. Usually, Campbell does not rap but shout or chant rather than rap - very often in a call & response manner, with him calling and the crowd responding. He was not an original member of the 2 Live Crew, but only joined them after their first steps as a Californian rap crew. Only through Campbell they became Southern rappers.
