Considering the months-long reign that French Montana 's A-lister-slathered and Uncle Luke sample-highlighted "Pop That" had as the "ratchet jam of the moment" last year, it was a bit of a dome scratcher how the Bronx emcee never quite managed to pump out debut album Excuse My French while the breakout record was peaking.

UNCLE LUKE WRITES OPEN LETTER TO RICK ROSS

"Dear Rick Ross: As someone who survived several rap beefs, I'm going to give you some advice. You need to seriously address the threats and attempts on your life. You have worked hard to become a big name in hip-hop. You've paid your dues and you've grown lyrically since the release of your debut album, Port of Miami, in 2006. You've arrived, buddy. But all this gangster bullsh*t is jeopardizing your career. No club or arena is going to risk people getting shot. You can forget about doing any tours or CD signings. And if you can't make money, watch how fast Warner Bros. Records turns on you. I know from experience how venues and the music industry would like to black ball you. You have the Gangster Disciples breathing down your neck because you've named-dropped Larry Hoover, the gang's founder, in your music. Unlike the record and book publishing industries, these bad dudes don't understand the concept of public domain.

The group's MC Luther Campbell (aka Luke) confirmed the news over the weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, while promoting his latest short film The Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke. The Miami, FL collective, whose last release dates back to 1998, originally stirred up controversy in the '90s for their third LP, As Nasty As They Wanne Be , namely for its crude tracks ("Me So Horny", "The Fuck Shop") and countless lawsuits over copyright infringement (including run-ins with George Lucas and Van Halen).
