2 Live Crew - Move Somethin'

Move Something

The Second Release From 2 LIVE CREW(Best Rap Group Of All Time) - Way Better Than The First And Ranking Right Up There With AS NASTY AS THEY WANNA BE !! December 5, 2007

this is one of the funniest albums u will ever hear

I first heard this album in 1988 or so, and I thought it was hilarious then and after hearing it for the first time after all these years parts of it still make me laugh. These guys seemed to be the first rappers to put funny skits in the opening of rap-songs. For example, the skit opening 'move somethin' sounds like it could be from any fruity sit-com, like 'married w/children' or 'everybody loves raymond'. The opening to 'S&M' makes me giggle anytime I think about it. I picture John Wayne saying 'here...gimme that whip...take that you dog' and the two live crew guy sounds like a cartoon character when he responds to the whipping, 'oowwww! oooohhh! ahhhh! yessss yeeessss!!!!'

Other gutbusters are when the crew remakes 'do wah ditty' and the kinks 'all day and all of the night' in 'one and one'. These guys were the Eddie Murphys of rap. Unfortunately, it is a very degrading album regarding women and I wouldn't purchase it because of that fact, but some of the skits are more funny than any stand-up comedian you will ever see. For other funny rap skits from this time period check out Ice-T.

I give this album five stars, because the parodies of other songs are hilarious and the skits, which only last a several seconds, are that funny, but like i said, i wouldn't buy it because most of the songs treat women much like beavis and butt-head would treat them, like worthless hookers.

2 Live Crew Move Something

This is possibly the best album by 2 live crew ever made.
Blow up bass followed with all out bad [...] mixing and some
fresh raps for that period in time. Listening to it brings me back to my childhood days of running the streets with my ghetto blaster and getting into all kinds of trouble. I give this album
5 and a half stars. March 3, 2003

Back In 1988

Back in 1988, the 2 Live Crew released their second album and by far remains a classic in the world of Old School Hip-Hop and Miami Bass. This album is a classic for a lot of reason, first off this album isn't as controversal as their 1989 album "As Nasty As They Wanna Be". This was at a time when the 2 Live Crew weren't trying to push the limits on censorship yet. The standouts on this album are "Move Somethin'", "One & One", "Doo Wah Ditty" and "HBC". Also another thing to note, the song "Move Somethin'" was played through out the 1990 movie "Men At Work", you know the movie that stared Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez as two struggling garbage men in Miami, FL. Pretty much after 1988, Tipper Gore was all over these guys after the "As Nasty As They Wanna Be" album was release. May 6, 2001

Total Lunacy!

I was forced to listen this drivel at a party, and if I hadn't gone with a friend, I would have escaped. Instead, my ears were assaulted by this non-stop barrage of foul mouthed antics. I only gave it 1 star for the cover art (I MUST meet this woman!) and while that's extremely shallow, it's the only redeeming quality of this release. My advice: buy it, throw away the CD itself and enjoy the cover photo! September 21, 2000
