You can't talk about Miami Bass music without focusing on the 2 Live Crew. Headed up by Luther Campbell, the group and their groundbreaking moves not only helped establish the city's hip-hop scene but balanced raunchy and explicit lyrics with a crusade for freedom of musical speech. 1986's The 2 Live Crew is What We Are announced their uptempo and salacious style, while '89's platinum As Nasty As They Wanna Be is a cornerstone hip-hop album of the era. Beyond the controversy the group's courted down the years, a 2 Live Crew track is guaranteed to start any party.
