Hip-Hop Game Changer: The 2 Live Crew

Before there was Outkast, The Geto Boys, or Ludacris The 2 Live Crew put the South on the map. There would be no DJ Khaled, Pitbull, or Rick Ross without Luther Campbell. The 2 Live Crew spit their vulgar lyrics and traditional Miami base sound with no regard for the repercussions or ramifications of their actions. They went platinum on their own terms. Their career defining moment was when they took a scene from Full Metal Jacket and turned it into a national phenomenon. Me So Horny epitomizes what The 2 Live Crew is all about. Look no further than this group for evidence that sex sells. If you notice videos have become more risque since The 2 Live Crew has been on the scene. I'll admit I've been to a Luke Skywalker show and let me tell you it's pretty graphic. I can't tell you exactly what I saw there, but lets just say there was alot of audience participation. The images are burned into my memory. They will never get the credit they deserve for resurrecting the South but The 2 Live Crew are pioneers in the rap game. Whenever you hear that tick tick followed by that bump think of Luke and the crew. Move Somethin!
