The saddest thing is this video has WAY more views than any other COUP video & I guarantee it's because of the title of the song. The COUP is the shit I still don't understand how they never made it big, look at what boots did afterwards, obviously people in the industry noticed them they just needed a record company willing to risk $ by getting them on shelves & they would have taken off.
its nice to see some rappers that actually have a band and not all samples. hell even the Beasty Boys have a band and not just a cru know what im saying Dawg?
WOW. HE CAN FLOOOOOW. I"m always seriously impressed by Boots. First heard The Coup in college, back in '98. Gets better and better. Brilliant he's always remained true to his craft.
Me and my boy went to Vegas few years back. My boy brought this cd and I got to listen to the whole thing on the way up. I liked this song sooo much that on the way back when I was drivin, I ran back this song the ENTIRE ride home. My boy fell asleep right outside of Vegas and woke up when we were gettin off the exit for my house. He was like, "Bro, are you STILL rockin this song!!??" Such a sweet weekend. Vegas took all my money and this feel good music made me feel that it was all o.k.
Now thats what I'm talking about serious Afrikans, talking serious shit and doing it with so much rythm,style and soul. O and ya better believe that beauty young sis ,is the shizzzzzznick! You go Boots funk the world up young bro!
When i first read the title of the song i was scared it was some sort of degrading ganster rap song about women then when i listened to it i was very happy to find out it was not even close. This guy has to be one of the best diamonds in ruff i've found this year. Hat's off to him and his skill on the mic. I love his message also.
Boots is the only rapper who spits about revolution and sounds like he's having a good time while he does it, you can party to his communist manifesto. I love Dead Prez and Immortal technique but I think the Coup is better than all of them.
you can disagree with their politics, you can dislike their beats, you can be pissed that they havent lived up to the standard set by steal this album, but one thing about the coup cannot be denied:
i love these lyrics. it's so great that after so many years they've stayed just as revolutionary and progressive as ever. "we can put em out of power and spread their loot" more bands should be saying this kinda stuff
I agree...but sometimes you'll be mistaken. I and a bunch of friends live in bumblefuck Georgia (though we can still make it to atlanta in a little over an hour) and LOVE the Coup. Ever since we saw them at the Variety with Les Claypool. Such a badass group.
I got love for silk-e and I feel what your saying and all. But she was giggin like we still in the 70's. I feel you though, somebody always gotta speak on the negatives.
