The Coup "Fat Cats And Bigga Fish" Directed By: Andrei Rozen

The Coup were one of the most overtly political bands in rap history. Formed in the early '90s, the Coup were obviously influenced by the black power rhetoric of "conscious" rappers like Public Enemy and KRS-One, but they were perhaps even more inspired by a heavy-duty, leftist reading list that included Marx and Mao. Lead rapper/producer Boots (born Raymond Riley) was involved in political activism long before he was a musician; his fervent dedication to social change was the overriding influence on every Coup album.

@SIGsogger and how do you measure this? And why should it matter at all? We are not machines. Perhaps someone works less "hard" but offer more in terms of art, or other social skills?

Wages, in its entirety, should be abolished. It is a form of slavery.

If you cannot embrace humanity as a whole and work towards the betterment of life for all, you will just keep perpetuating a flawed system that creates misery.

[UnknownRex]

@SIGsogger that is wrong, and it is a viewpoint that just perpetuates the current system. And what exactly defines a hard worker? I would say in many cases a guy working on cleaning bathroom works a hell of a lot harder then a doctor in a comfy office.

The best route to the future is to abolish all forms of monetary economy, and provide the basics for all humans, based on available resources.

@maderuh WORD. exactly what i just said without seeing this comment hahaha

[SIGsogger]

@UnknownRex the point is, not all jobs are the same. some people work harder than others, and shouldnt get the same wages (aka lifestyle) as people who work less hard. It would be great if everyone worked just as hard and society would truly benefit, but in practise humans will take advantage of the 'easy way out' its just plain fact. look into history, some say it will show u the future.

F**K the political debates for the moment; this is a REALLY hot song!!!!!! Can we let that sh!t go (given the obvious subtext) and let the real be the real?

[UnknownRex]

@SIGsogger and why not? both jobs are. Your logic is flawed. If we all become doctors, who would attend teh gas station? Clean the bathrooms?

And since when did it matter if a country is rich or not? Money is not real, but your life is.

GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION MUST END!

[SIGsogger]

@maderuh BUT. you must remember communism doesnt make a country rich, it just distributes money evenly to everyone. but why should everyone get the same? we are not all the same, and neither are the jobs we get payed for doing. a gas station clerk should not make the same wage as a doctor.. no matter what u call equality
