  2 Live Crew
2 Live Crew is one of the most controversial rap groups ever, largely over the sexual themes of one album, As Nasty As They Wanna Be[?] (1989).
In 1991, 2 Live Crew released the very first live rap album, Live in Concert, and Sports Weekend[?], a full-length studio original.
The New 2 Live Crew collapsed with Luke Records[?] in 1995.

 2 Live Crew v. Acuff
Held: 2 Live Crew's commercial parody may be a fair use within the meaning of 107.
Even if 2 Live Crew's copying of the original's first line of lyrics and characteristic opening bass riff may be said to go to the original's "heart," that heart is what most readily conjures up the song for parody, and it is the heart at which parody takes aim.
The absence of evidence or affidavits addressing the effect of 2 Live Crew's song on the derivative market for a nonparody, rap version of "Oh, Pretty Woman" disentitled 2 Live Crew, as the proponent of the affirmative defense of fair use, to summary judgment.

Enraged by the explicit content of 2 Live Crew, a Coral Gables attorney named Jack Thompson launched an all-out war against the group, culminating in a Broward County,; Florida judge deeming the album obscene under state law in March of 1990.
The two record store retailers were eventually acquitted, as were 2 Live Crew and Too Much Joy--all by juries that either criticized local authorities for wasting their time or, in one case, wanted to deliver the not guilty verdict in the form of a rap.
But 2 Live Crew's legal woes were not over, as they faced another suit filed against them for the unauthorized sampling of Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman." The owners of the song's copyright, Acuff-Rose, argued that 2 Live Crew's use of the song devalued the original's worth.

 2Live Crew
In July of 1989, the rap group 2 Live Crew released the album "As Clean As They Wanna Be", containing a collection of their songs that don't contain the amount of profanity and obscenity normally associated with a 2 Live Crew album.
In looking at 2 Live Crew's use of the "Pretty Woman" song, the Supreme Court successfully looked past the previous fair use decisions which basically stated that any commercial use was presumptively infringement.
Instead of dismissing the Crew's claim on the basis that they had used the appropriated material for commercial gain, the court looked at the other factors of permissible fair use and determined that parody was indeed protected fair use, even though the perpetrators gained financially.

 Judging Aesthetic Value
The U.S. Supreme Court recently held that a parody by the rap group 2 Live Crew of Ray Orbison's song "Oh, Pretty Woman" was "fair use" and thus did not infringe the copyright.
(2) in a unanimous opinion written by Justice David Souter, the court insisted that it was not "evaluating (the) quality" of the parody, (3) despite the holding in favor of 2 Live Crew.
He says in passing that "we might not assign a high rank to the parodic element here." (7) but he also seems to subscribe to the position that aesthetic value is a matter of subjective "taste" and thus is not an appropriate subject upon which judges should rule.

Hot on the stiletto heels of 2 Live Crew's 1989 cultural firebomb As Nasty as They Wanna Be was the ethnic joke with a beat, 1990's As Kosher as They Wanna Be.
2 Live Jews' debut album featured the rhyming skills of "Moisha MC" and "Easy Irving," two aged Jewish-American men who had ostensibly discovered a latent penchant for rocking the mike.
But just as 2 Live Crew effectively blew their wad with "Me So Horny" and Nasty, "Shake Your Tuchas" and Kosher represented the creative apex of 2 Live Jews.

 [No title]
The Crew's 1986 debut, on Miami native Campbell's own Luke Skyywalker label, contained the signature tune "We Want Some P--sy!!" and introduced the 808-thumping "Miami Bass" sound.
But the flap also turned the Crew into a cause celebre: Bruce Springsteen okayed use of a sample from "Born In The U.S.A." for a song on Campbell's solo debut later that year.
In 1991 the group released what was reportedly the first full-length live rap album and Sports Weekend, with a few stabs at topicality amid the usual juvenalia.

 freedomforum.org: Music censorship: the beating goes on
NEW YORK — The music industry's self-regulation of lyrics through parental warning labels is drawing a not-so-fine line between fl and white, an expert on music censorship says.
Most of today's CDs that carry the Parental Advisory label are from African-American rap and hip-hop artists, author Eric Nuzum said during a lecture on music censorship at the First Amendment Center on May 2.
It involved 2 Live Crew in 1990 in Hollywood, Fla. Their album "As Nasty as We Want to Be" contained a song called 'Me so Horny,' which was deemed particularly offensive, Nuzum said.
