"Me So Horny" is a song by rap group 2 Live Crew on their album As Nasty As They Wanna Be . It reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart and #26 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1989 despite lack of airplay due to the controversial nature of the lyrics. The explicit nature of the lyrics of this song and the album led to the initially successful prosecution of the group on obscenity charges and the album being banned from sale in Florida. This ban was overturned on appeal. The song samples "Firecracker" by Mass Production and a supposed pornographic tap… read more

Thirty years after the release of their iconic single, Billboard caught up with 2 Live Crew member musical mastermind DJ Mr. Mixx to talk about the "Nasty" song that put the group on the map, and in…
The year 1989 marked a time of massive upheaval: The Berlin Wall came down and and a Chinese protester was mowed down by a tank during the Tiananmen Square protests. The seeds for the World Wide Web were planted and the Exxon Valdez oil spill dumped nearly 250,000 gallons of crude into Alaska’s Prince William Sound. George H.W. Bush was sworn in as president and the Dalai Lama won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Or, if you were a fan of booty-shaking videos and speaker-rumbling Miami bass hip-hop, the top headline was 2 Live Crew releasing “Me So Horny.” It was the year the previously little-known group, started by DJ Mr. Mixx (born David Hobbs) and the late rapper Fresh Kid Ice (born Chris Wong-Won) accidentally blew up into First Amendment rhyme warriors, thanks to an admittedly crude, rude song based on a sample from a Stanley Kubrick film, and lyrics so raunchy they would make your pervy uncle blush.
What the South Florida group could not have known is that their jokey jam about late night lust — whose sampled “Me so horny, me love you long time” hook was lifted from a throwaway line in Kubrick’s acclaimed 1987 Vietnam War movie Full Metal Jacket — would spark a legal battle that would change their lives, elevating what should have been a fluky regional hit into a national hip-hop party anthem that endures to this day.
“I believe that it’s like a test of time based off of people’s sexual feelings, and the one thing about our music: It don’t matter what’s going on, once you hear a few notes it just changes your whole mental attitude,” says Mixx, the mastermind behind the creation of the song. “You get into that twerking attitude and it can change the atmosphere at the drop of a dime.”
The track’s outrageoulsy frank sexual lyrics (“I won’t tell your mama if you don’t tell your dad/ I know he’ll be disgusted when he sees your pussy busted/ Won’t your momma be so mad if she knew I got that ass?”) and unforgettable sampled hook blew them up nationally, but proved to be a mixed blessing for the group. The R-rated verses propelled “Horny” to a No. 26 peak on the Billboard Hot 100 by Nov. 18, 1989, amid a 30-week chart run, as well as a No. 1 spot on the Rap Songs chart for four weeks. By Dec. 1989, the RIAA had certified the song Gold in the U.S. and the As Nasty As They Want to Be album was certified Platinum around the same time. And, in a testament to the longevity of what many considered a novelty group, Nasty has moved 559,000 copies in the U.S. since 1991, according to Nielsen Music, and 447,000 downloads since Nielsen began tracking digital songs in 2003.
That success, however, was accompanied by legal hassles that turned the group — which Mixx proudly likens to a comedy act more than a serious rap crew — into unlikely First Amendment poster children. A few months after its release, Jack Thompson, a Florida-based lawyer and activist focused on fighting the marketing of adult entertainment to children, began alerting local authorities about “Horny,” which he saw as a pornographic work being peddled to teens. “I sent the lyrics to all 67 sheriff’s offices in the state of Florida, asserting that this album — which had already gone platinum — had a huge number of sales to kids under 18,” says Thompson today.
When a U.S. district court judge ruled the album obscene, it marked the first time a musical recording had ever been tagged that way by a federal judge in the United States. In addition, in the summer of 1990, a record retailer was arrested for selling it and the group — minus Mixx, who did not rap — was arrested at Hollywood, Florida’s Futura nightclub on obscenity charges, just days after the obscenity ruling, for performing songs from Nasty. The resulting trial put a blinding spotlight on the culture wars of the late 1980s, with the group eventually getting acquitted and the obscenity ruling overturned.
It was a tumultuous journey sparked by a song that Mixx says was just trying to make people smile by acknowledging what many of them were already thinking anyway. “It was just about a guy sitting at home with his dick hard, flipping through channels and wondering if there was girl he could catch up with,” he summarizes.
Billboard spoke to Mixx and some of the other key players to break down the “Horny” history of the song.
[ Editor’s note: Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell, who became the public face of the group as their profile rose during the trail — but who does not rap on “Me So Horny” — declined repeated requests for comment for this story. Fellow member Brother Marquis could not be reached for comment. ]
DJ Mr. Mixx, 2 Live Crew co-founder, producer : The funniest thing about [“Me So Horny”] is that it was a happenstance record. I already had the track and I was getting songs ready for the album [ As Nasty As They Want To Be ] and we were in D.C. doing some music with Trouble Funk for the last single from the Move Something album. I came back to the hotel with Mark [Brother Marquis] and Full Metal Jacket was on, and that part came on in the movie and Mark said, “We gotta do something with that!”
At that time, movies weren’t as readily available and I don’t even know if DVDs were happening, so I had to wait for the movie to come back on TV again, record it to VHS tape, and then take the tape and the VHS machine into the studio to dissect the dialogue. In order to get the music synchronized, I had to chop up [the dialogue] into bits and pieces and put it in time to the speed of the track, so it doesn’t just run through like a person would see it in the movie.
Ted Stein, recording engineer, lead engineer on As Nasty As They Wanna Be : For one thing, David [Mixx] is a friggin’ genius. He was the driving force behind this. When we were working on “Me So Horny” and the samples, he brought in a
