Rapper Luther Campbell says he will run for mayor of Miami if current mayor Carlos Alvarez is ousted in the recall election set for March 15.
Campbell, the former 2 Live Crew frontman and onetime adult-film star, now writes a column for Miami New Times, where he laid out his agenda:
- Pushing city and county officials to go after slumlords.
- Implementing beautification efforts in the city's poorest areas.
- Instituting three types of public schools -- "one for kids who plan to attend college, one for those who don't, and a third for the knuckleheads,"
Two decades ago, Campbell wrangled with Florida authorities who tried to ban Crew's 1989 album, "As Nasty As They Wanna Be," on obscenity charges. Campbell & Co. prevailed at the U.S. Supreme Court.
