About 2 Live Crew
2 Live Crew began in Miami, Florida, consisting of Chris (Fresh Kid Ice) Wongwon, David (Mr. Mixx) Hobbs, and Amazing V. They released Revelation in 1984; the single sold well in their native Florida encouraging the group to release What I Like along with Mark "Brother Marquis" Ross. They received a record deal from manager and eventual performer Luther Campbell, who used the nickname ;Luke Skyywalker" (and were subsequently sued by George Lucas). The year 1987 saw the release of The 2 Live Crew Is What We Are, featuring profane and sexually graphic lyrics. Rudy Ray Moore's Comedy albums provided the material for all of those XXX Scratch Samples that Mr Mixx cut up. 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 levels the group would reach in the future, 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' (1988). A record store clerk in the smalltown of Alexander City Alabama was cited for selling a copy to an undercover cop in 1988. It was the first time in the United States that a record store owner was held liable for obscenity over music. The charges were dropped after a jury found the record store not guilty.
