Luthor Campbell was on the James Altuschuer show, it certainly sounds like something that would be possible. It'd be awesome.
How many rap groups/rappers affected the culture enough, or have a story to tell, to warrant a bio pic? 2 Live Crew isn't worthy, imo. They do meet the freaked white people out prerequisite though.
Of course it is, it set groundbreaking cultural waves in the realm of freedom of speech. In my opinion, they are much more culturally relevant than NWA.
There probably is a movie there and you could put "Groundbreaking", "Cultural waves" "in the realm" on their direct to video release poster. Freedom of speech is all their story is about. That is it. Oh wait, they brought the Bass!!! That is it.
OK, OK, maybe they deserve a Behind the Music, but that is my last offer. I liked them as a kid too, btw.
You truly don't know what you're talking about here. You're completely wrong about this. NWA was the groundbreaking group when it came to freedom of speech. They were arrested on stage for singing fuck the police. 2 Live Crew is nowhere near the level of NWA.
Sorry they didn't make a 2 Live Crew movie yet so you couldn't retroactively pretend you know what went on back in the 90s. I guess you really believe Eazy-E really made a truce with NWA too? God that's the problem with this movie, it was written from the perspective of Dre and Ice Cube and was obviously altered and people take it as what actually went on. We have people who couldn't even name 2 NWA songs outside of Fuck the Police and Straight Outta Compton pretending like they were down back in the day. http://www.freep.com/story/entertai...ie-detroit-ice-cube-joe-louis-arena/31496317/ The 2 Live Crew's controversy was a major freedom of speech case. Their albums were BANNED and classified as obscene. They were taken off shelves by law. They went to the 11th Circuit and the Supreme Court.
See, when 2 Live Crew got arrested at a concert, it actually made the major news as there was actually a very public trial. http://articles.latimes.com/1990-10-21/news/mn-4279_1_live-crew
I hear ya, but do you expect them to get a film treatment like The People vs. Larry Flynt or something? Is there enough of a story to tell about them other than getting arrested on stage, going to court, and then being able to talk about popping pussies whenever they want? I liked them when I was a kid and if a movie ever gets made I'll watch it.
It was a pretty big deal and lasted several years, the governor of florida seemed to have a personal vendetta. that whole miami bass scene was pretty interesting in itself.
