Shortly after a federal judge ruled the pioneering Miami bass group’s album, As Nasty As They Wanna Be, obscene (meaning that it was illegal to perform it in certain areas of Florida), Uncle Luke (who basically didn’t give a f*ck) and his boys defiantly performed one of their signature steamy sets in Broward County, where they’d already clashed with the authorities over their XXX antics. Three sheriffs watching from the crowd arrested Luke and another band member right after the show. An obscenity trial and accompanying media circus-followed, but 2 Live Crew and, as it seems, freedom of speech prevailed.
