  The South Florida Lawyers blog points out that 2 Live Crew enemy for life, recently disbarred lawyer, pixelante opponent/Palin lover, and occasional Riptide commenter Jack Thompson has found a back up career. And he's found it in an industry were it's increasingly hard to find any sort of job - good ol' journalism. Thompson is covering The Republican Governor's Conference for right-leaning Human Events. Guess what he chose to focus in on? His favorite subjects of all time ever: traditional

• Throwback Tuesdays: Yo Majesty--"Club Action"

  There's something about the early music of Yo Majesty that will always have a soft spot in my heart. Back when this Tampa-based duo used to be a trio, Shunda K, Jwl B, and Shon B, were my favorite female MCs of 2007. They were butch, black, badass rappers who were sort of like a 2007 version of 2 Live Crew. And their music is just as crunk. Hell, they had songs called "Kryptonite Pussy." If that's not 2 Live Crew-esque, I dont' know what is. Yo Majesty had lot's of media attention that year

• ¿Que Pasa, M.I.A.? Bros Vs. Rockers

  The events that happen in childhood shape us, haunt us and turn us into the men and women that will lead the world. It's sociological science fact. When I borrowed a taped copy of Appetite for Destruction from Enrique Fernandez at age nine, I had no idea that 2 Live Crew and NWA were on side 2. I listened to both sides religiously. Sacrilegiously, really. I felt so guilty. So wrong. These rockers on side one were worshiping the devil and those rappers and the other side were talking about killin

• Mixtape Review: Doormouse - 100% Real Wisconsin Cheese

  I guess this is a week for me listening to local DJ's get down on mix tapes.  I know they aren't mix tapes anymore, but that's how I think of them.  There used to be little kiosks in Manhattan that us bridge and tunnel kids would flock to in order to purchase cassettes from DJ Clue?, Tony Touch, et al.  Now we have the interweb and Miami transplant Dan "Doormouse" Martin's fantastic mix 100% Real Wisconsin Cheese.

• 2 Live Crew's Supreme Court Win May Impact Shepard Fairey's Case

  created with Obamicon.me Shepard Fairey, the graffiti artist behind that highly stylized Obama poster you saw just about everywhere last year is preemptively suing the Associated Press. The image he used as the basis for the poster was an AP stock photo, and the AP wanted recognition and money in return. So Fairey is taking them to court and claiming fair use (Fairey use?). Naturally Miami's own 2 Live Crew may have been the brave legal scholars that could have helped blazed the trail for a win

• MP3 of the Day: "Boom" by 2 Live Crew, featuring E-40

  This is old news, but bears repeating: The version of 2 Live Crew does not feature Luke. Ok, that's out of the way. But as the remaining members of the group -- Fresh Kid Ice and Brother Marquis -- told Miami New Times last year, that doesn't really matter. Luke was hired as a hype man anyways, they say.So, with Luke on reality TV and working on his own musical comeback, 2 Live Crew version 2.0 has been slowly crafting its own new album.

• 2 Live Crew Plays White Room on Friday, November 20

  ​​Downtown-type promoters love booking 2 Live Crew. (It hasn't been too long since they played the Vagabond, and there were those shows at the old Studio A before that.) This always creates a magical mash-up of a crowd that falls along a very, very wide irony spectrum. The thing is, no matter what kind of stupid outfits people may wear to a 2 Live Crew show downtown, or how openly they express their enthusiasm, underneath it all pretty much everyone loves the Crew. While other people grew up
