MIAMI LEGENDS
 What is Miami Bass Music? Miami Bass is a form of music known for heavy, throbbing beats, hyperkinetic rhythms and, usually, sexually explicit lyrics. It came from the south, mainly Miami, Orlando, and other parts of Florida. Other areas include Atlanta and Alabama. The roots can be found in electro. The music came into existence as part of Miami's stereo wars, when people tried to out-stereo each other, claiming that they had the loudest, most bass-heavy stereo system in their car. The most famous Miami bass group is 2 Live Crew who are known for the censorship efforts surrounding their As Nasty As They Wanna Be album. The group was formed in Los Angeles. Their debut single, "The Revelation" was a socially aware examination of poverty and crime, and was influenced by West Coast Electro. Luther Campbell a.k.a. Uncle Luke, a record promoter from Miami, made them come to his hometown and turned them into an X-rated group. Their first LP, ‘...Is What We Are’, established the Miami bass sound in many listeners, especially in the south, and included raunchy lyrics such as "We Want Some Pussy." While 2 Live Crew popularized Miami bass for many listeners, DJ Magic Mike established a significant underground following during the late 1980s. During the 1990s, Disco Rick, Uncle Al, Get Funky Crew, 69 Boyz, 95 South and Quad City DJ's established Miami bass as a commercial and social force in the south.
