I love The Coup. Its like, part nerdy guy, part angry ass-political activist, and part laid back cool muthafucker. Not sticking to the basic cut n paste hip hop genre, The Coup mix up things, and experiment with the sound, making it a joy to listen to each track, unlike alot of monotonous generic hip hop. Social & political observations, mixed with a good dose of humour and personality, and uplifting beats that even a white boy could dance to. This album is just busting with classics, from the head bopping floor-packing Laugh/Love/Fuck - "I'm here to Laugh Love Fuck & Liquor, and help the damn Revolution come quicker", and My Favourite Mutiny - "The governments of the world are shark infested, they got their own weaponry like Charlton Heston" to laid back, red-eyed and funky "I Just Wanna Lay Around All Day In Bed With You" and "Baby, Lets Have A Baby Before Bush Do Something Crazy".
If you like your hip hop with a bit of something extra special, lyrics that actually have something relevant to say, and still be FUN to listen to, then this my friend, is the record for you... Dont delay things anymore, get it and you won't regret it...
