Born Mark D. Ross, Brother Marquis joined the group in 1986 (at the age of 19), two years after its founding, and was present for their biggest hits. The group laid the blueprint for Miami Bass. 2 Live Crew&#8217;s 1989 album, \u201cAs Nasty As They Wanna Be,\u201c was the first to sport a \u201cParental Advisory: Explicit Content\u201c label, and was the first album to be legally deemed obscene, by a decision which was later overturned.<\/p>\n<p>In 1991, during his hiatus from the group, he formed the duo <strong>2 Nazty<\/strong>, teaming up with <strong>DJ Toomp<\/strong>. The duo released an album, \u201cIndecent Exposure,\u201c in 1993. That same year, he first coined the famous line: \u201cI got 99 problems but a bitch ain&#8217;t one,\u201c which led to him being featured on <strong>Ice-T&#8217;s<\/strong> \u201cHome Invasion\u201c album, on the song \u201c99 Problems.\u201c He reunited with <strong>Fresh Kid Ice<\/strong> as 2 Live Crew in 2006, they continued to tour and release music until Kid Ice&#8217;s departure in 2016. Afterwards, another original member, <strong>Mr. Mixx<\/strong> rejoined the group alongside Marquis.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on 2 Live Crew&#8217;s legacy in 2021, Mr. Ross stated: \u201cI can take that to my grave, that we made a difference.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>May he rest in peace.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">2 Live Crew &#8211; Me So Horny (&#8220;As Nasty As They Wanna Be,&#8221; 1989)<\/h4>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bmSH7PZduYw?si=fEoyCa67ixa7UhAv\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brother Marquis\u00a0of the very influential and controversial 2 Live Crew has passed away, aged 58&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":198262,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-198261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Brother-Marquis-Obituary-Thumbnail.jpg?fit=2560%2C1280&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-PzL","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198261","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=198261"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/198261\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/198262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=198261"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=198261"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=198261"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
