2 Live Crew...Talent-Impared

Ohhhh!!! Why???!!! I Think They Put this out just make all of us

nauscious and ta piss us off. Do People really listen to rappers

talk about F*****g? I Love Rap but Jesus, this has gone to far!!!

2-live fan forever.

I do not understand the reason some people have a grudge against 2-live. I mean think about it all they used were some profanity and some colorful words to boost there image. rapers today do the same thing if you really set and listen to som of the rap music today the talk about killing and doing the same thing 2-live did. so why all the hype.I really like them and do not see any problem with there music.

Classic Filth

I loved this thing when it first came out. hard to believe it is 12 years ago. I played it to death. Had it stolen from me. It is amazing how many ways you can rap about boinking. These guys do it all. Stiff Peter!

I Used to Hate This, But It Kinda Grows On You!!!

OK, so I'll admit, these guys aren't really the greatest rappers. Their flow varies from unexceptional to pretty good, one guy has a very strange voice (sorry, I don't know his name) and he really doesn't sound very well suited to rap at all, and the album suffers from decidedly uh...limited subject matter. But none of it makes any difference at all, because this is still one of the most catchy, fun, playful, musically inventive, and booty-shakin' rap albums ever to come down the pike. It's no wonder that these guys were so huge in their time, and favorite targets of self-righteous evangelists and law enforcers. Anything this fun HAS to be illegal, and in Florida, until 1992, it actually was!!!



I snatched up this album just a few weeks ago, and when I first played it, I really didn't care for it at all. Certain songs were catchy (like the LEGENDARY "Me So Horny"), but it just wasn't what I was used to. The lyrics were decidedly juvenile, and as a fan of eloquent hip-hoppers like De La Soul, Public Enemy, and A Tribe Called Quest, it was a real shock to hear such earthy, nasty humor on a rap album (I was aware of their notorious rep before I bought the CD but, dang!!!). Still, I owed it to the group who set new precedents for legal sleaze on hit records to give 'em another shot, so I listened again...and again...and again...



And all at once, I realized that the Crew had grown on me. Their infectiously funky, bass-driven Miami sound is all the musical evidence that one needs to re-examine this group. Instrumentally, they don't quite sound like anybody else, especially on super fast-paced party cuts like "C'mon Babe" (my favorite song on the entire album, and a REALLY wild club track!). The hype about the lyrics really is true. They're about as lewd and lascivious as any that you'll likely find in the annals of recorded history. This is one album that I'm NOT lending my twelve-year-old kid sister!!!



In conclusion, if you're somebody who's got a lot of hang-ups about sex, misogyny, or other sordid topics, you may want to steer clear of this one. BUT, if you've got an open mind that doesn't take itself too seriously, a playful sense of humor that you can lower to sixth-grade sensibilities at will, and a (...) to shake, you should really dig this album. And if your first listen angers you, confuses you, or just plain stupifies you, don't be afraid to give it another listen. It can be a lot to soak in, but it's worth it!!!

thank god they're now 2 dead crew

being only 16 most would say i dont know what original gangsta rap is. but to tell you the truth i'm a more old school type listener than this new crap. the old stuff had somthing to do with reality, i meant something. but this supposed great album is actually the plateau for this new crap hip hop is today, nothing but sex talk a stupid violent talk. and the thing is that these guys couldnt do anything with all the attention given to them for this crap. another 1 crappy hit wonder.[hint vanilla ice] and no 1 talks bout this album or group anymore, whereas N.W.A is truly the difinitive group of rap,giving dr dre, ice cube and eazy e brilliant starts to even greater solo carrers. has anyone heard anthing bout any of these guys in that last 10 years??? didnt think so.
