Hands down, this is one of the best performances of a group on tv. 2 live crew knew they were going to perform in front of a hostile audience, yet they still partied like they were in a club in Florida. They didn’t give a fuck! Love this group.
That was absolutely beautiful 😂😂 Big up to Fresh Kid Ice (R.I.P.) for being professional and sticking to the radio version, but massive up to Brother Marquis for cussing his arse off 😂😂
yeah Osama....down here in the Mia...we gave no fucks.... and that y errry one nowadays uses our style.....uptempo...catchy hooks and great music, all around...thumbs up to you as well sir
This is why a lot of the old school hip hop artists are angry when the new school doesn't show respect!! This is what they had to endure to become accepted in the main stream!! They had to endure being stared at, pointed at, laughed at, arrested, and dismissed as not being talented for years before breaking through! It is because of them that artist today can become multi millionaires!!
Ain't it funny how it's always somebody else loving it? White people going ape over black music, Asians love Western tropes (which include Arabic things that are West to them)-- Kurosawa was kinda mediocre in Japan and he was kinda obsessed with Shakespeare. Look at this swedish homage to 2LIVECREW czcams.com/video/tYQyZFZN2bg/video.html It goes around, my people, it can't hardly ever stay put. I mean look how uncomfortable it makes people that really can't get unstuck
Well, after having Rachmaninoff, Chopin or Debussy as a standard for talent, I can imagine what was it like to face such explicit indecency posed as talent. They had no idea what will become of music in 25 years.
I went on vacation driving to Georgia from Indiana with my grandparents picking up tape cassettes along the way & got 2livecrew. I was thinking I hit the jackpot nobody knew about them back then.
I was home sick from school the day this aired. My senior year of high school. I remembered how shocked the audience was. I went out the next day and bought the As Nasty As They Wanna Be cassette. Phil Donahue put me on to 2 Live Crew!! Now that I'm 51, I can see when Uncle Luke pointed at the crowd when he said " Fucking all the hoes!" Fresh Kid Ice did the PG version. Brother Marquis did the R version. He didn't give a fuck. I remember being in Frozen Paradise in Savannah on Broughton St and Fresh Kid Ice came through and did a lil Hype work in the DJ booth.
I LOOOOVVVVVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS CLIP. LOVED THAT NONE OF THEM DIDN'T GIVE A FU(K ABOUT THE CROWD. Luke smiling and laughing, Marq cussing, the girls damn near naked and still dancing as nasty as they wanna be (get it, Lol) the Dj jammin and smiling, Man this whole clip was so PERFECT! Wish it had more recognition. Too late now tho! These days is too fkn sensitive. Bunch of fkn weirdos. Thanks for this upload! 💯👏
@@scout2us no dude...🤦♂️ the guy was talking about how music videos nowadays are a lot more vulgar and insane then before. I swear yall trump supporters
That's what I loved about the old era of sampling in rap. I can kinda understand why people say that it's stealing or whatever but it's really not that. You would get a producer in there just going through s*** all day long trying to find cool sounds that go together with each other and what not. And that's what you had here. But by the time 1994 hit making a song like this, with all these really popular samples died out because it became far too expensive
These guy's were very talented. Listen how smooth they flow. I remember when Nasty as they wanna be was banned. Had to see what the big deal was. Ended up loving it. R.I.P fresh kid ice.
Oh man, so much to say about this. I was in a band that was supposed to be their opening act at a concert in Hawaii but it got cancelled because of protests against the group. We did get to meet them though and no surprise, they were cool as fuck to us. I love how they tried to make the song kinda PG rated in the beginning and some of these people look like they're thinking "Oh how cute. This isn't so bad!". Then Marquis looks like he just decided fuck it and went with the real lyrics and then all these people are looking at em like they're looking at Coronavirus under a microscope. Too damn funny!
This video is legendary. It's fascinating to see how much the future can scare people when they're confronted by it directly. Everyone likes to think they have an open mind until they see something that's outside of their entrenched preconceptions of acceptability. The era of early hip-hop and the immediate backlash to it are really fascinating today. Phil Donohue's show was one of the most groundbreaking pieces of television of its era. Donohue wasn't scared of the future.
These guys were so ahead of their time. People didn't see the real rappers coming. 2 live crew opened up the gates for standing up for what you believe in.
Considering that this was in the 80’s, and no one had ever heard anything like this, the audience reactions were priceless. Almost felt like I was watching a Tim and Eric skit.
In all seriousness, these guys fought for our Freedom of Speech here in America (Does anyone remember the Constitution?). If their Album 'As Nasty As They Wanna Be' was going to be banned by the supreme court, that would've set a precedent for more constitution trampling like you've never seen, well...except for today. But they didn't and free speech was protected...well, until today. Thanks 2 Live Crew...you guys are true patriots! Unpopular speech is Free Speech, unless you live in 2020 (aka 1984 or 2112).
jimmyjam666420 there’s a difference with free speech n promoting smut, this smut n it opened the door to what we have now, some freedoms are not to be given but restrained now there’s talk about normalizing pedophelia look it up. This isn’t freedom but bondage to treating women like trash.
@@xxJ0xx Well, free speech is smut, unfortunately. Free speech is hate speech, unfortunately. But make no doubt about it, there is absolutely no comparison between free speech and pedophilia. One has a victim and the other doesn't. If you watch main stream news, you are into smut. That is quite subjective. Besides, what are you doing looking at "The Funk Shop" videos anyway? Research, right?
jimmyjam666420 yes that’s true but speech prepares the way for actions and rights , that’s why I said some rites should not be considered rites and some speech should’ve been restrained we do it already like not yelling fire in a movie theatre ,it’s like they say recreational drugs led to more serious drugs in the same way smut opens the door to bad behavior n then opens more door to all manor of perversions just listen to the lyrics some behaviors should’ve just stayed in the alley n bars that’s why these things were done in there just look how things were 20-30 yrs ago much more conservative n clean , now everything that was bad is now good.
@@brianezell5790 "Actually" that was the very problem of 2 Live Crew. People like in the audience were trying very hard to make 2 Live Crew´s music illegal by law , claiming it was "obscene". It didnt bother them that they didnt need to listen to it, they just didnt want let other ppl do what they wanted. So yes, these people were liars (or, these kind of uptight ppl).
@@dovermaskot4441 There were a lot worse groups than 2 Live Crew for sure . imo they were made to be somewhat of a scapegoat for what could be deemed as obscene . Keep in mind this was middle class America that were most likely right wing democrats and church going people that problably weren`t used to watching let alone hearing a rap group talking about sex and violence in music .The look on the crowd`s face in that clip pretty much said it all to me .
So happy my mom let me listen to this music growing up! she never said that we couldn't listen to a certain type of music just because others didn't like it and I turned out just fine! These faces are clastic though 😂 in public they be acting like they didn't like it but at home they be getting freaky nasty with it 🤣😂
Same with my parents .. my mom loved 2live crew !! I used to get embarrassed when she would play pop that p all loud infront of my friends 🤦🏻♀️lol my friends loved it !!
actually a decent performance. Them at there peak with the whole act. Didn't miss it for the world. Stayed home from school that day and recorded it on VHS. Legends in the genre.
susan heath Nice !! I Grew up with them too played their tapes always & all the lyrics 10 years old ...cheers Susan ...certainly was some good shit back in the day ...I kept my tapeseven when I was a kid I said I would play my tapes for my grandkids one day if I had any kids myself but not yet...priceless, "Hey kids this is what your granny used to listen to when she was a kid !!" 😜
Yup because it appeals to our fallen nature aren’t you glad they don’t give into our fallen nature buy practice restraining but then again look at what our society looks like now because restraints are being encouraged to be removed and our kids are being told that what’s good is bad and what bad is good.
These are absolute pioneers. Ready to risk everything to express their creatively through music. They weren't ahead of their time, they came just in perfect time.
this band kicked off a nationwide debate on 'free speech' after they were arrested and their music banned from selling in Miami (maybe all of Florida, I don't recall if it was a nationwide ban). Props to Donnohue for letting them perform. 2 Live Crew sums in up in their response song/video czcams.com/video/nEH_ms8d1ws/video.html
Luke was genius, he knew he wasn't gonna get over to the crowd, he knew Phil was setting them up so he could have shock value for his talk show but Luke knew this would put him into homes that may not have been. He knew he needed white kids to buy his albums. Phil used them , but Luke capitalized on it.
Watching this in 2024. The audience reaction is priceless 🤣
Watching these old pearl clutching boomers cringe is hilarious.
Lol 😂 the reactions are everything these people were really surprised about sex .
@@emilyf9725exactly 😂😂
True them people was looking like y'all better take this music back to the ghetto and leave it there! LOL
I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it!
points for the BTTF reference XD
😂
And let's not forget this is going to be mood music for their grand kids 😂☺️😂☺️☺️
Truth is a bitter pill to swallow. You follow.
And be ruined
Hands down, this is one of the best performances of a group on tv. 2 live crew knew they were going to perform in front of a hostile audience, yet they still partied like they were in a club in Florida. They didn’t give a fuck! Love this group.
this was hardly a hostile crowd just a Bunch of uptight judgmental holier than thou pricks
They are fukin legends
🤣🤣🤣
This really needs to be remastered in like HD 4K whatever, the highest quality. This is a masterpiece.
This is a masterpiece only to toxic people. They're laughing at them. This is embarrassing
Masterpiece? My how standards have diminished.
ask grandpa for the vhs =)......
80s were awesome
This is the single greatest musical performance in human history.
Yeah I agree
Messing with the audience.This is right up there with The Day The Laughter Died by andrew dice clay..
I can't disagree.
I’m sorry but when that beat dropped there is NO WAY I could have stayed seated😂😂

All them white girls looked like they might enjoy what they're hearing at first, but the mood changed quickly when Marquis spit his verse!! Lol.

It’s the audience and the dancing for me 😂😂😂😂. And it’s something about the Van Halen guitar riff that makes it even funnier too

Pointing at the audience when he says "Fuck all the hoes" 3:00
We can all dream about being is cool 😎 as 2 live crew. Even cracker metal heads in the 90s worshipped these legends
This performance will forever remain in my mind, RENT FREE!!! 😂
you were in the audience ? That would have been so cool!
The audience reaction shots for this performance are everything!
😂
I can’t stop laughing at their facial expressions
Hands down the greatest performance in daytime TV history.
Agreed, GWAR on Springer in the 90s was suprising but the Crew on Donahue was the best example of people with no clue enjoying the music.
This…

Yep, people getting paid but look at what happened to our culture. It's fucked up.
Well, after having Rachmaninoff, Chopin or Debussy as a standard for talent, I can imagine what was it like to face such explicit indecency posed as talent. They had no idea what will become of music in 25 years.
I love how they did the clean first verse and hit em with the real version
I wonder if they did that to not get cut off?

These are absolute pioneers. Ready to risk everything to express their creatively through music. They weren't ahead of their time, they came just in perfect time.
Obviously the people in the audience have never visited the fuck shop...
2022 and this is still hilarious to me!
1 of the best crew’s lived till 2day, great
Seeing the audience face expressions are just priceless! 😂😂
😍 marry me to this song 😘
And I like ya'and I want cha'
WTF this was awsome so inappropriate for the crowd lol loved it
Yeah 😂🤣😅😊
this band kicked off a nationwide debate on 'free speech' after they were arrested and their music banned from selling in Miami (maybe all of Florida, I don't recall if it was a nationwide ban). Props to Donnohue for letting them perform. 2 Live Crew sums in up in their response song/video czcams.com/video/nEH_ms8d1ws/video.html
Yea, they Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
(ref.2 tha sample)
They appalled.
This is the most inappropriate appropriate thing I've ever seen.
DJ Mr Mixxx is amazing. I used to love the beats and the scratches
Luke was genius, he knew he wasn't gonna get over to the crowd, he knew Phil was setting them up so he could have shock value for his talk show but Luke knew this would put him into homes that may not have been. He knew he needed white kids to buy his albums. Phil used them , but Luke capitalized on it.
i agree!....luke did use to the groups adavantage!.....did u watch the documentary on this group?
