2 Live Crew

Fronted by Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell, the Miami group helped define the booming, party-oriented Miami bass sound.

Their 1989 album "As Nasty as They Wanna Be" became the center of a landmark obscenity case that reached the courts and reshaped First Amendment debates in music.

Their legal battle over explicit content established important free-speech precedents for the recording industry.

2 Live Crew turned a censorship fight into a defining moment for artistic freedom and Southern bass music.
