The Coup - Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Granada Last Night

[babobibabo]

How did I get here from Jalopnik?

[ronnieboy219313]

This is a sick video with a sick beat, with even more sick verses. The Coup delivered a perfect track with this song. I listen to this song at least twenty times a day! " Don't be Microsoft be a Macintosh with a hard drive". Boots is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pimpdog1274]

This song is so sad.

[AtheismCentral]

Fuck pimps, and fuck pimp culture.

[profdab]

Boots is one of the best story tellers in hip hop. Paints a perfect picture.

[Pimpdog1274]

This song is so sad to me.

[mitchelllee75]

so fuckin dope....n ya dis beat go! wish i could find the instrumentals for it

[JBrrou]

I'm a straight up Mariah Carey fan, but this beat hustled my musical vagina and broke its himen.

[AbaloneAndEggs]

@JBrrou and then what?

[Flashfire359]

Hot shit

[sundiata365]

peace 2 the coup!

[Redrizzle187]

THIS BEAT IS THE SHIZNIT

[3Metalcor]

[polivochka]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!



[phraedusthamusicdigr]

Awesome song just heard this I've missed out man

[thh420]

[aria1122111]

Early in the morning when the sun starts to creep

When the birds start to chirp and crackheads go to sleep

[schijtluisje]

This is amazing! Thanks for the upload!

[jalilclay80]

Been spittin this shit word for word since I was 5 haha some of the nicest lyricism ever written!

[dawgfacegremlin]

boots riley is da truth

[MrIlleism]

Something almost more beautiful than the song itself is the 0 dislikes!

[TheOtherWinfreyShow]

This is what Rap was meant to be.

[TWHueyGuitar]

These are some tight lyrics. Awesome!

[wonderataoldotcom]

i actually stole this album in 1998

[MREO132]

THIS SHIT IS CLASSIC!!!

[billshots]

Boots Riley is fucking aaaweeeeeeeeeesome!

[namesdeluxeson]

never heard of the coup until i looked up what music officer slater was dancing to in superbad. this is definitely one of the greatest rap songs i've ever heard. the beat is unreal, and the lyrics are a masterpiece.

[Av2ene]

its too bad E-Roc left, sic song

"Music You Deserve To Hear"

[TuckNastay1]

Up until about 7 minutes ago I hated rap.

[fleshnbone187]

@TuckNastay1 Now this is an intelligent rap hater. Open minded enough to try what we praise and recognize the genius of it. This is now my song of choice to introduce to rap haters!

[ebolatheripe]

One of the best stories I've ever head in a song.

[B4HARBORxAREAxGxFUNK]

this shit is deep

[jbichotte]

Microsoft motherfuckers let bygones be bygones

But since I’m macintosh, i’ma double click your icons

[scrapes08]

this isnt RAP. this is hiphop

Boots is an Emcee

and the coup is the shit fucking wonderful lyrics.

[chrismaddenbitch]

@scrapes08 Emcees rap, don't get into that purist bullshit & just enjoy.

[erocx23]

boots riley is easily on par with other 'concious rappers' like black thought and talib kweli dunno why he has about one percent of the fame they have what a disgrace

[poldblue485]

Boots from The Coup. Genius

[Squalleh]

greatest song of all time

ever

period

[Profeshian]

"Microsoft motherfuckers let bygones be bygones / But since I'm Macintosh I'm 'a double-click your icon."

Awesome.

[TheMobster3000]

Classic story telling

[MeesterChum]

yawn. . . my gf suggested i check this out. 7 plus minutes i'll never get back

[Redrizzle187]

you want to say that is a bad song?

if yes, then i dont know what to say"

[March3Yahoo]

Wow, she's clearly too good for you.

[MeesterChum]

naw, she was as dull and uninspired as this song. thanks for your uninformed opinion, though

[producenotes814]

this song is dope. the story is deep in this song,

[tattleboad]

oh snap

serious in here

[tattleboad]

bassline is tight in this. really complex lyrics too, im still figuring out all the shit he says in this

[Squalleh]

@MeesterChum your gf is great, and you are a piece of shit and don't deserve her

[mcaulipa]

wow... just discovered the Coup because of Street Sweeper Social Club. Boots is the shit, how have I never heard of him?

[EnergizerBunny804]

@mcaulipa cu when it comes to "rap" music, the only stuff you hear on a regular basis is pure shit

[conspiracyquality]

@mcaulipa Check his tracks with Galactid too! ;)

[dirtydeucen]

@mcaulipa  because most people handle shit this real.

[dirtydeucen]

@mcaulipa cus most people cant handle shit this real

[TrevGann100]

@mcaulipa because he raps the truth

[13isTheMagicNumber]

The Coup is just too beautiful for words

[ElvenFury75]

I'm primarily a fan of metal but this is the best rap song I have ever heard. It's genius.

[Causarius]

@ElvenFury75 Me too. Normally listen to death and thrash metal, but I've had Coup in my iPod for years. GREAT song. Gives me chills when I listen to it sometimes.

[MrCrim123]

@ElvenFury75 The whole album is genius, very underrated.

[WinstonChuchhill]

@ElvenFury75 Rap and Metal go hand in hand

[TeamUNski]

"Don't be microSOFT be MACintosh with a HARD drive." DAYM and the ending that connects to this. Some of the best lines ever. I love the multistructural and poetic nature of the lyrics, no wonder a book has been inspired by this song.

[mixedchocolate1012]

r u serious whats the book called? and who's it by? has to be a good book if it's inspired by this song!

[Cybetuum]

@mixedchocolate1012 It's called "Too Beautiful for Words" by Monique W. Morris. It captures the spirit of this song beautifully, actually. Good read. :)

(luvvvvv this song, btw)

[Redrizzle187]

where you heard its influenced by a book?

[greyelf437]

other way around.

[alextsiri]

The album this song's on is a homage to "Steal This Book".

[westbart]

It's true there is a book that called steal this book, its a book about how to rebel against the goverment. Peace

[Redrizzle187]

dope.thanks for the info.

[phonxrips]

STEAL THIS ALBUM IS TOP 10 ALL TIME

[GYMBROWN]

Classic Hip Hop!!!!!!!

[billsterbonger]

what more to say about boots riley than raw.

[protools21]

haha man this song is raw as hell...

[eddy4seven]

johnnie.......could you please add "breathing apparatus" (i think thats what its called) its on the same album.

[oleold]

Boots still staying true to the game till this day when many artist have sold out to make a buck. It's cool to get paid but get paid being who you are staying true and trying to build our communities up instead of killing our communities.

[kbmethod]

shit is real.

[druckman]

Always been one of my favorite tracks. Realized yesterday it's got the same bass line as Gil Scott Heron's "Angel Dust". Both tunes are easy to get teary-eyed to..

[kevhar12]

Yeah it takes courage to speak of the ills of society in this day and age and The Coup are still laying it down . They have an agenda and trying to go platinum by sacrificing their artistry is obviously not part of that agenda. I respect that and The Coup and Hiero also (both from Oakland) are no sell-outs. This song here is about a common theme in many communities and its sad that other rappers don`t address it in their music.

[hymnofashes]

What kind of idiot pimps and murders someone's mom and then hangs around with that person, alone?

Good to see he got what he deserved anyway.

[iidamax]

Lol....if you listened to the song then you'd know that the pimp was really his father and they formed a "relationship" while he was in jail. I mean it's pretty much spelled out in the song.

[elbarto138]

best coup song so far...OAKLAND!!!!

[browngt]

classic

this is what hip hop is

[TeamUNski]

Wow this uncut version is so much better than the one in the video. One of the best songs ever in my opinion actually.

[skatewiththeplague]

o.O one of the only rap songs i like O.o

[Profeshian]

There are others like it; just know where to look.

[qwertypluss]

I'm afraid your general magniloquence is tantamount to buffoonery. Aster's back motherfucker.

[speciesamused]

I gots this up on my bay. Link on my channel.

fervent dedication to social change One..

[Greynor]

the writing on this song is rediculous and has deep meaning the Coup kicks ass I met boots at Comp USA LOL keep doin' it Coup!

[tiger6287]

fifth!

Agree, best song, but EVERYBODY cares who is third, second, fifth, first, whatever!

Every video is a race, a race against time, a race against you, a race against me, a race in general.

[buffluffstuff]

Best song ever and no one cares if you're third or second or whatever.

[hiphopguru81]

it means I been bumpin this shit b4 you punk

[buffluffstuff]

what..

[hiphopguru81]

third!

[blkexp1]

CLASSIC, TRUE HIP HOP!!!!

[Shapteh]

second !
