Brother Marquis on Forming 2 Live Crew, Luke Fallout, Fresh Kid Ice Dying Broke (Full Interview) 

Salute to Brother Marquis he’s a true legend & survivor. Wish him the best.

R.I. P MY BROTHER!

Brother Marquis tells the classic record industry story!

Excellent, this has got to be one of the best interviews I've seen on VladTV!

You can tell he's been holding all this in for a long time

All that happened you still stayed loyal and helped out your friend. God Bless you Brother Marquis.

It's time for a 2 live Crew biopic!

This was the realist interview ever.... Brother Marquis.. Marquis your brother 👍

RIP Brother Marquis

I am 46 now. I bought that Band in the USA album at 11 years old.

Growing up in Miami as a teen and going to their shows, whenever I crossed paths with Brother Marquis we would glance and exchange smiles. He was different from the other 2. I was a hot mama but somehow he knew I was too young so he would just smile back. I was definitely crushing on him back then. He is a stand up guy ❤️💪

Thanks for this interview, VLAD. Marquis is a legend in his own right!

Rest in Peace you are 2 live Crew..he is a stand up guy

The way he tells the story sounds similar to NWA's if you imagine Luke = Eazy, Mr. Mixx = Dre, Brother Marquis = Cube, China Man = Ren.

All I can hear is “yo this Marquis baby are you down with it?” 😂😂😂 Marquis is my guy keep your head up

Thank you so much Marquis! That was more honesty and courage than I've ever heard in a music business interview. Your music is tops, and your testimony is too.

Brother Marquis! Legend of the game! I'm still pumping Two Live Crew in my car from time to time. Their music gives off warm weather, freaky chicks, and party vibes!

Rest in peace Brother Marquis.. He was always my favorite 😢 Well, he definitely poured out his feelings in this interview. I believe he did so, so there will be no misunderstanding how he felt.

This brother has a lot of sense and he seems genuinely solid. Came back to research this interview. Salute to Jacquie my Brother....

Germany checking in....Childhood Hero and Legend up in this Mutha . Soundtrack of my youth ,Bro Marquis I wish you nothing but the best, God bless U and the 2Live Crew. RIP Fresh Kid Ice

I see you fam...Much love from your hometown... Attalla, Alabama 💪💪💯💯

I was a founder and member of a local DJ crew in in my city in Florida and they came and performed in the city. After the show me and one of my group members and road dog followed brother Marquis to the ATM and ask for his autograph he signed a five dollar bill for my road dog. I mean we trailed this man after his show to the ATM. We could have been trying to rob him or something. But he didn't blow us off or seam fazed at all. In the we hours of that morning. It had to be around 2 or 3 am. He just signed the auto- graph. Held a brief conversation with us and we parted ways. I always and still am a fan of the 2Live Crew. If I held the office of book em and they will come. You know they would head line that ticket. May you have good fortune where ever you step brother. You are a stand up man. Me and my crew would roll with you any time. But I'm going to close this comment session with this to Brother Marquis. (WHAT REWARD CAN THERE BE FOR GOOD? OTHER THAN GOOD. ✌🏿B UPON U. And with that being said, I'm 5000 G

A true legend...I remember trying to push their music back in the day as a dj uptown in philly...the first hip hop group to make a live concert album! (No..it wasn't krs one.)

If they only knew how big was The 2 Live Crew in Mexico City back then. "The Fuck Shop" "If You Believe In Having Sex" and all Mr. Mixx's megamixest were in everybody's car sound systems. Salute to the homie Brother Marquis!

This brother is clearly too nice for the industry. He wasn't built for it. How do you get fkd tht many times and still not learn? Hopefuly he gets what he's owed

Wow what an interview!! Salute Brother Marquis!!! This story must be told , no matter how painful it is!!

Brother Marquis was my fav rapper from 2Live Crew my fav song is Hoochie Mama he was the voice meant to be the lead cant believe they are all close to 60s and Luke is in his 60s thats crazy but a lot of us that even grew up during the Miami bass era are late 40s/50s lol we were just teenagers time flies

Mind blowing interview. Sad man. Sad. I used to want to be these guys when I was a kid. Love his frankness because knowing the stuff behind the curtains help all us musicians make better business decisions. Shout out to BMQ for keeping it 💯

I saw this before but I have to save this one because I NEVER KNEW about Luke. Great job Vlad for getting this story out. 😳🤯

After a concert a few of us white guys were let in to their hotel and remember being in elevator with luke and Marques in the 80's

Brother Marquis 2nd verse on ' In the Dust' off the New Jack City soundtrack is In my top 10. 🔥 verse

I still bump "In The Dust" off The New Jack City Soundtrack.

I’m from Palm Beach, and it was the same energy.

R.I.P to Brotha Marquis

Coolest slickest voice in hip hop. From high top fades to jerry curl juice, watch Marquis yall as I get loose. 2 Live is what we are!

Well I met marquis and I was a grown woman love him ❤🎉🎉🎉305 pac jam memories 😊

I like these older ground breaking hip hop heads should be given royalties for the work they put in by every artist that comes after.

Ice T's 99 problems feat Brother Marquis is my shit.

I now see why Luke is mad @ this interview. 🤣🤣 Brother Marquis. U r still my dude. U were the center of attention. ✊🏾

I got mad love for the 2 Live Crew. It makes me proud to be from Florida and we got a rap group that changed the rap industry forever. But they never get talked about like that. Watching this interview, we need a 2 Live Crew biopic, cause they are a huge part of the music industry. Without them, nobody in today’s game would rap about getting p*ssy or f*cking a female in their records.

I’m from the Bottom, and when I was growin up this was my man right here…RIP 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾 Brother Marquis , Marquis ya Brother.

I just saw @ TMZ .. marquis died today ...R.I.P 😔

Having interviewed many people on mic I want to give you props for 1) being a class act and 2) letting the man tell his story. Most interviewers would have steered it and you let him do it in his time and it is a far better conversation for it. I’m impressed.

I was in my mid teens when they came out....and me and my friends would listen to their "tape" over and over again. When we had two tens in the trunk....and not a care in the world. Brings back some awesome memories.

2 days ago I asked Vlad to please release this interview and u came through! Thank u so much for that broski! Im a 41yr old white man from Florida and Im one of the biggest fans of Luke and The 2 Live Crew! The end segment Brother M. went HAM on Luke. He needed to get that out. Soooo, now get Mr. Mixx and get ahold of JT Money to bring this full circle. I have faith in u Vlad! 🍺😉👍

Throw that D local hit?! Bruh that was one of the dopest beats of all time! 808s everything- if you got some 10s 12s in your ride- put that in there and crank it up… tell me I’m lying!!!

Love Brother Marquis! I saw the 2Live Crew live in Detroit, MI back in about 1990 and they were amazing! Luike, Fresh Kid Ice, Brother Marquis and Mr. Mixx were the absolute best ever! Sooooooo funny I still can't stop laughing! Brother Marquis and Fresh Kid Ice worked together as a team back and forth and it made it really unique. Not only did they have great lyrics but their music and beat were phenomenal. Dick Almighty is my favorite - OMG LOL!. All the best to Brother Marquis!

I remember this brother. It was fun to watch them. It look like they where simply having fun. I never took anything negative from their music. I always felt it was just music and nothing else. You have to have a mind of your own.

Great interview 💯💯💯💯

maaan I loved 2 Live Crew growing up! Marquis was my favorite! that era was golden!

The 90s was the best decade for music but it’s just unfortunate that a lot of talented artists (especially groups) were not properly compensated for their work. Don’t forget the R&B group H Town (Knockin The Boots) was signed to Luke as well. They had a dope catalog, but probably could of been MUCH bigger had they not signed to him.

Hey Glad! Bring dude back for more. His interview was entertaining

that is a good interview ,, bring part 2

I knew it was something off about Luke, every since H Town.... so glad for this interview 🙌🏿🤌🏾💯🖤

Wooow what a interview, the stories about Luke damn!!!!!

I Seen 2 Live Crew like Luke was the Eazy E Brother Marquis was the Ice Cube MINUS the Business Sense China Man was the Mc Ren and Mr Mixx was the Dr Dre.

Brother Marquis is one of my childhood heroes.😁💯‼️🔥

I would like to set the record straight. As the one who represents Brother Marquis, Uncle Luke and Chris Wong Won in their termination case, I would like it to be known Chris Wong Won did not die broke. He died without having his rights to the 2 Live Crew albums, having others assume that he did. Before his passing Chinaman broke away from Lil Joe and ventured on to mentor upcoming artists under his label Chinaman records. He was negotiating million dollar deals right before his death and getting his business right. In fact he was getting his business so right it was because of HIM that I was able to locate the contracts for the 2 Live Crew members that are 35 years old. If he didn't save these contracts we would not be at the end of our termination case about to take back his music. He passed not having all he should have but far from broke. He was the wealthiest of them all in regards to the love respect he has from the music community. R.I.P Chinaman Know am fighting for you all.

Yes!!! I love my old school legends I grew up listening to on VladTV now. Just watched the Too $hort segment, it was dope! Absolutely have to get Rodney O and Joe Cooley on this!!!!

Had to see this b4 the Hulu Freaknik documentary come out… this was them aunties soundtrack 😂😂👀🍿

Boy Uncle Luke and the 2Live crew had the hardest live performance in the nineties

Luke was grimey but trick daddy called him out on his first album then H-Town came out about him and that female group he had called him out but I never knew this about 2 live crew but I should have known

Growing up in Florida in the 80's . I use to go to Pittsburgh Pa in the summer . One year i took that music to Pittsburgh and they had never heard any music like that before . Shoutout to DJ Styles from Braddock PA for playing the Miami sound of music that i grew up with Those was some great summers in Penn.

Don't Fuck with Vlad but had to listen to the Brother Marquis from Clearwater grew up on this man

Great Interview! 💯

When I first heard them in high school around 1990 that changed my world lol..... we ALL loved them beats.... guys and girls equally!

He's telling the truth. Much Respect

I love 2 live crew my high-school years 86 to 90

RIP!

I play Miami bass music in my car to this very day. Love the 2 Live Crew. I hop VLADTV do one on JAM PONY EXPRESS, and Kizzy Rock.

If you didn't notice Vlad was taken back just as much as most of you were. He tried to remind Marquis of the historic acheivements they obtained as a group and what they meant to their fans. Vlad was crushed as you all were. Remember he had a childhood full of memories of 2 Live Crew. I can tell he didn't want to hear all he heard

Incredible interview.

Yeah marquis is a cool down to earth brother. My favorite out the group.

Best interview ever hope we get a movie series on them

True legend. RIP Brother Marquis

Uncle Luke already responded to this... Sad... I was such a fan until the truth came out. BMQ seems like a real gentleman. Thanks for giving this interview. Him and Mr Mixx should do a show online.

I'm Still A Fan Of The 2 Live Crew. 💯

Respect Brother Marquis! He is truely poorin his heart out. You can tell that thats his purpose of this whole interview. Word 100%! The truth must be told! I can understand that. He has no respect for Luke ..what so ever, and he's right. It shines a whole other light on the 2 live crew as a band. Its a dirty story but it is what it is. Peace Brother Marquis for telling us fans the truth!

That was very interesting. Seems like the kind of guy who would give the shirt off his back. Hard to fly with the eagles when you're surrounded by turkeys.

Great interview with Brother Marquis 👏🏿 🤎💪🏿✌🏿🙏🏿🫂
