quote:
The group's vocabulary comprises terms for genitalia and sexual intercourse that did not originate with African-Americans.
quote:
The imagery of 2 Live Crew's lyrics and stage performance is of sexual degradation and sneering self-satisfaction, repeatedly and venomously characterizing women by four-letter words referring to female genitalia. The female presence in their songs is limited to presentations of salacious, willing sex partners, whose sole sexual pleasure derives from facilitating their exploitation. Such performances perpetuate, rather than parody and correct, attitudes about sexuality.
quote:
In 1990, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida ruled that the album was legally obscene;.... It is the first album in history to be deemed legally obscene.

They were on the same flight as me to NO last year. Their manager was in the seat next to me, and the "crew" were a couple of rows up. Interesting flight. Still doing gigs.

Footnote - The guy who pursued the obscenity complaint against 2 Live Crew was Jack Thompson.
To say Thompson is an insane publicity whore would be an understatement.

Further footnote - I agree with Sam Kinnison that you'd get more entertainment by wiping your arse with $18 than you would for spending that same amount on the Crew's album.
