Miami Bass music is known for its explicit lyrics about sex, fast dance beats, and a strong bass with a constant kick drum. The genre is all about parties, drugs, sex, and champagne.<ref name="Miami Bass">{{Cite web |title=Miami Bass |url=https://www.hiphopelectronic.com/electro-funk/subgenres/miami-bass |access-date=2023-12-10 |website=Hip Hop Electronic |language=en-US}}</ref>

The single "Throw The D" by the group [[2 Live Crew]] in January 1986 was the first [[Miami bass]] song. [[Fresh Kid Ice]] (Christopher Wong Won) said that the song came about when he noticed a new popular dance in Miami, when [[Herman Kelly and Life]]'s song "Dance to the drummer's beat" played.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Serwer |first=Jesse |date=6 July 2016 |title=Dance To The Drummer's Beat: A Loop History |url=https://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2016/07/dance-to-the-drummer-s-beat-a-loop-history |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=daily.redbullmusicacademy.com |language=en}}</ref> 2 Live Crew released their album ''[[As Nasty as They Wanna Be|As Nasty As They Wanna Be]]'' in 1989.<ref>{{cite news|last=Philips|first=Chuck|title=Sound Warehouse agrees not to stock 2 Live Crew's controversial 'As Nasty as They Wanna Be.'|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-11-10-ca-3843-story.html| access-date=5 November 2013|newspaper=LA Times}}</ref>

2 Live Crew got into trouble for explicit lyrics in their 1989 album "As Nasty as They Wanna Be." A judge said it was too obscene to sell, but 2 Live Crew won the legal fight. This allowed them and others to keep using slang and explicit content, but they had to put a warning on album covers.

Luke Campbell and David Hobbs from 2 Live Crew were important in making Miami Bass popular through these controversial albums.<ref name="Miami Bass"/>
