Back when the Tone Deaf crew were in primary school, it was considered very naughty to have a copy of a 2 Live Crew album, which was usually of shocking quality because it had been dubbed by so many boys off someone’s older brother’s tape.  The members of The 2 Live Crew are responsible for some of the biggest selling titles in the history of rap music, with worldwide sales of over ten million units and a catalogue of some of the most polarising ‘party songs’ in history including ‘We Want Some Pussy’, ‘Me So Horny’, ‘Hoochie Mama’ and ‘Face Down, Ass Up’. Their tracks have been used in the score of films like New Jack City, Boyz N The Hood and Friday. These days their smutty tunes come across as a bit dated and juvenile, but should you wish to relive your misspent youth, they are playing a one off show in Sydney on Thursday 6th January 2011 at The Forum.
