The 2 Live Crew (RAP Group) is Indicted

On this date in 1990, a Florida state court declared "As Nasty As They Wanna" by the RAP Group "The 2 Live Crew" legally obscene. The U.S. Supreme Court later overturned the ruling.

In September, the group's recording label, Luke Records, paid George Lucas $300,000 for using the name of the Star Wars character Luke Skywalker. Two Crew members were later arrested for obscene behavior after an adult-only show. They were later acquitted. All members started to pursue solo careers.
