Edited 3 months agofrom what i know, this one is the 1st pressing (wo the album title on the front). and the 2nd press is the one with the title and stamped parental advisory on the right of jacket which is this one>> https://www.discogs.sitioby.com/release/10258584-The-2-Live-Crew-2-Live-Is-What-We-Are . those with the parental advisory stickers are the 3rd and consecutive presses. -
-
Just an FYI, this is the first pressing. It's distinguishable from others because "Is What We Are" does not appear on the cover. -
Loose and wild example of one of the progenitors of the smutty (dolemite!) 808 vibes
(thanks Mister MIxx) and the DJ megamixx (again thanks Mister MIxx)...
of course shines with early turntablism funky laser cuts bro !!! -
Showcase essential roots to the group a touch of the original foundation minus the 'founder' Yuri it would
have been class to work him in (the revelation..) but Luke obviously boxed him out by that time 'bizness'
An essential 80s rap album for all the best reasons - All the speak very fondly of the creation of this LP as
well being 'fun' and fast. Like Marquis says made at a time when Florida was all about the 'cocaine cowboys' and
booty shakers. Rodney O also gets huge props for his influence to the direction of the 2 Live Crew at this time. -
Cut It Up is sheer joy - that classy break pattern on the 808, MC's bringing intelligence with the DJ homage rhymes, and the scratching laser sharp and integral to the track. Loved this back in the day, traipsed to London to get this LP on import
-
There is also a clear red vinyl tp of this lp ! Just got it from a friend that worked at Luke Records -
This release is from when The 2 Live crew were a serious hip hop act and this is a straight up hip hop album from the days before all that stupid swearing shit. Except for 'We Want Some Pussy' of course. Good production, accompanied by very decent cutting & scratching with some good quick fire rapping as well. Shame they went the way they did with later releases. I rate this as one of the best hip hop albums in my collection.
