The 2 Live Crew Is What We Are is the first album by hip-hop group the 2 Live Crew. It was released in 1986 on Luke Records to a great deal of controversy and promptly was certified gold by the RIAA. It includes the hits "We Want Some Pussy," "Throw the 'D'," and "Cuttin' it Up." Bob Rosenberg, a south Florida DJ who would later form the dance-pop group Will to Power, remixed and edited the song "Beat Box." In Florida, it was deemed obscene, and one store clerk was charged with felony corruption of a minor for selling it to one 14-year-old girl. The clerk was later acquitted.
