“Shit another year of not getting inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame,” Luke shared on Instagram Friday (May 21).
2 Live Crew released their debut album The 2 Live Crew Is What We Are in 1986, making them eligible for Hall induction. For an artist or act to be considered for the Hall, they must be 25 years removed from their first recording. The group would continue to release albums in the late ’80s and early ’90s such as As Nasty As They Wanna Be. The album, led by the lead single “Me So Horny,” would sell 2 million copies but set a precedent for vulgarity and the argument of rap lyrics in relation to the 1st Amendment. The group’s follow-up album, 1990’s Banned In The U.S.A. became the first ever to be presented with a parental advisory sticker from the Recording Industry Association of America.
