The issue was basically straight based on objecting to sexually explicit lyrics. If memory serves, the prosecutor recruited underage teens to go into a record store and buy the "dirty" album, and arrrests started with the clerk that sold the record. <a href="http://www.leoslyrics.com/albums/2666/">OFFENSIVE LYRICS HERE</a>. "Cop Killer" was Ice T. It had nothing to do with the other. Indeed, it was never really at any legal issue. Some people bitched, and he ended up leaving his major record label shortly thereafter with no significant public acrimony. Unpleasant, but no one ended up arrested, or even sued as best I know. 10952@blogcritics.org Tue, 10 Jun 2003 21:28:40 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/06/10/063515.php#comment-10943 I can't even remember what got 2Live Crew in so much trouble. Cop Killer came later, right? Anybody got some lyrics? 10943@blogcritics.org Tue, 10 Jun 2003 18:20:53 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/06/10/063515.php#comment-10940 how quaint is Em compared to some of these rimjobs? 10940@blogcritics.org Tue, 10 Jun 2003 18:14:55 EDT
