2 Live Crew is a controversial rap group, largely due to the sexual themes of one album, As Nasty As They Wanna Be (1989).
2 Live Crew began in California, consisting of Chris (Fresh Kid Ice) Wongwon, David (Mr. Mixx) Hobbs (not to be confused with the former basketball coach or the British race car driver), and Amazing V. They released “Revelation” in 1985; the single sold well in Florida and Hobbs and Wongwon moved there, releasing What I Like along with Mark (Brother Marquis) Roth. They received a record deal from Luther Campbell, who used the nickname “Luke Skyywalker”, a manager and eventual performer. 1986 saw the release of The 2 Live Crew Is What We Are, featuring profane and sexually graphic lyrics. Miami’s Hot Mixer, Bob Rosenberg of Will to Power did trick edits on Beat Box and was billed “King of the edits”. The record went gold. Though the controversy did not rise to the future levels, a Florida store clerk was charged and acquitted of felony charges for selling the album to a fourteen-year-old girl in 1987.
Campbell decided to sell a clean version of the next album, Move Somethin’ (1987). A record store clerk in Alabama was cited and fined for selling a copy to an undercover cop in 1988, though the verdict was overturned on appeal.
1994 saw Luke, Fresh Kid Ice and a new addition to the group, Verb, regrouping as The New 2 Live Crew, issuing Back at Your Ass for the Nine-4. The New 2 Live Crew broke up in 1995.
Luke, Fresh Kid Ice, Brother Marquis and Mr. Mixx re-formed again to record “Hoochie Mama” for the soundtrack to the movie Friday. Plans to reunite for an album were short-lived, as Fresh Kid Ice, Mr.
