LMFAO's 8ky 6lu: Grandpa Berry Gordy Didn't Want Us Doing Music

http://www.vladtv.com - Skyler Gordy's never had to use his family's last name to aid his success, though he's extremely thankful to have such a musical upbringing. Grandson to Motown founder, Berry Gordon, Jr., Sky Blu joins his uncle, Red Foo, to form EDM group, LMFAO. The two rappers signed to Interscope Record years ago, later releasing their first worldwide hit, "I'm In Miami B****." Though their family is full of music execs, the clan wasn't too supportive of the uncle/nephew duo's budding music career. "They didn't want us to be in the music industry," he tells us in this exclusive.

Sky Blu and Red Foo - whose 11 years his senior - were expected to become doctors or lawyers, but Blu never even made it to college. "I dropped out of high school, I don't even have a G.E.D. I think Foo got a G.E.D. but he dropped out too," he shares ."We're the black sheep of the family."
