"Banned in the U.S.A." is the fourth album by 2 Live Crew. Released July 13, 1990 on Luke/Atlantic Records. Includes the hits "Do The Bart" and the title track.

The eponymous title single is a reference to the decision in a court case that their album "As Nasty As They Wanna Be" was obscene (the decision would later be overturned on appeal.) It uses the music from the song "Born in the U.S.A." to which Bruce Springsteen gave them permission.

Displeased over the decision of Florida Governor Bob Martinez who, on being asked to examine the album, decided it was obscene and recommended local law enforcement take action against it, and over the subsequent action of Broward County, Florida sheriff Nick Navarro who arrested local record store owners on obscenity charges for selling the group's albums, and the subsequent arrest of members of the group on obscenity charges, the group included the song "Fuck Martinez," which also includes multiple repetitions of the phrase "fuck Navarro." To prevent the possibility of being sued by either Martinez or Navarro, the group found two other men with the same names, and got them to sign releases.
