Smoke Shag one for Brother Marquis AKA the first rapper to sag his jeans AKA the 2 Live Crew member with the illest rap voice. I hope Heaven got a beach full of birds in bikinis for Marquis & his fellow dearly-departed 2 Live Crew member Fresh Kid Ice. In tribute, allow me to reintroduce 2 Live Crew's 1990 performance of Face Down, Ass Up on the Phil Donahue show.
A great clip, but it's my second favourite 2 Live Crew video on YouTube. The first is this performance of We Want Some Pussy from the infamous 1990 Florida club show where half the group were later arrested for breaking obscenity laws. Rap music has come a looooong way, baby!

R.I.P. to the God. We Want Some Pussy forever my favourite song to piss off hip-hop purists in so many ways. Truly a generational and versatile record.
Awesome video picks. You probably know this already but the Penelope Spheeris "Banned in the USA" documentary is on YouTube as well. That movie stirs me every time.

All facts.
The audience reactions in that Phil Donahue clip. 😀
R.I.P.
A very meme-able clip.
What were the great 2 Live songs/albums?

Anonymous, first 2 Live Crew album is the best. Also good songs on the second and third album but also some very gimmicky shit.
Jesse, I didn't know that and I've not seen it. Cheers.
