TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — A decision by a Florida jury is paving the way for the surviving members of 2 Live Crew to retake control of much of their iconic discography, following a yearslong copyright dispute. The group’s provocative work — and the court challenges around it — helped redraw the legal landscape around what hip hop could be and shattered limits on free speech in the genre. For decades, the hip hop legends of 2 Live Crew haven’t had legal control over their albums, after giving up their rights to the records in bankruptcy proceedings in the 1990s.
