2 Pull Crew, Part 2: Five music stores in Fairview Heights, Ill., have removed a recording by the rap group 2 Live Crew from their shelves at the request of police, who acted on a complaint from a parent whose 16-year-old son bought the record. Police said the recording, “Sports Weekend: As Nasty As They Wanna Be Part 2,” violated a local obscenity ordinance. Authorities in Florida last year unsuccessfully prosecuted 2 Live Crew on obscenity charges.
