Free Music Notes for Party Music
Free Music Review: Will make you change you opinion on things in life...
Hit: 5 Stars
Now I've never heard of The Coup before until about earlier this year. So I wanted to purchase Steal This [Double] Album and recently Party Music. I must have missed the message on Steal This [Double] Album, but I understood it on Party Music that they are heavily against Capitalism. But the content of the album is excellent. "5 Million Ways To Kill A CEO" is a good song if you can get past the dance type beat and listen to what Boots Riley is really saying. "Ghetto Manifesto" is nice song where he talks about people who are struggling at their jobs just to get minimum wage. "Ride The Fence" is another great song where he talks about the bad America is running things and he couldn't have said it better, "You can't do sh*t if you ride the fence..." (And if you put it in your computer or go to Yahoo music, you get the animated video- props to Halik Hoisington for putting that together) Another stand out song is the last song "Lazymuthaf***a" where Boots talks about how rich people have butlers because they're too lazy to do things themselves. The message is real clear on that song. Pam the Funkstress gets a few good cuts in the CD too, listen to "Tight" and the hook to "Ride The Fence". I'd say if there was a filler in the CD, it would be "Pork And Beef" which features T-Kash, which takes the beat from Tha Eastsidaz "Got Beef". Not a bad song, but if I had to pick a subpar one, it would be that one.
This group from Oakland is very unique and is a great example of standing up for what you believe in. People say that this album was either a hit or miss, and to me this one was hit out of the park. Many people may have a different opinions on what Boots is saying and may not believe him, but hey, opinions make the world go around. Thats something we definately need in life and in hip hip. This Bay Area trio did a good job since it was ranked #1 in 2001, by The Washington Post, and The San Francisco Chronicle.
Lyrics: 9.5/10
Beats/Production (and scratches): 10/10
Guest Appearances: Dead Prez, T-Kash, Martin Luther (does the "Yo, yo, yo, yo," in "5 Million Ways...) 9/10
Party Rating: 6/10 (Unfortunately not many people know who this group is, but if they listen to it, they may like it)
Overall Rating: 9.5/10
Great job!! Rumor has it that they may come out with a new CD later on this year called "Pick A Bigger Weapon." While they're at it, they need to reissue "Kill My Landlord" and "Genocide & Juice." (Oh by the way, I like the origonal album cover, before the event actually happened)
Party Music Poster
Oakland duo the Coup (Boots and DJ Pam, the funkstress) rank in the top three as far as underrated rap groups of the '90s go. That said, because lead MC Boots has no problem suggesting that big corporations are colluding with Satan and that corrupt cops disgust him ("Pork and Beef" implores listeners to "throw a Molotov at the pigs"), this release won't sit well with the apolitical crowd. In fact, the original cover artwork for Party Music depicted the duo detonating the World Trade Center. It was immediately pulled following the events of September 11, 2001. Boots' revolution will obviously not be sanitized, and on the opening track "Everything" he lays down his manifesto: "Every cop is a corrupt one without no cash up in the trust fund.... Every tried man is innocent.... Every boss better run and hide." The list of witty, counterculture songs is long, from "5 Million Ways to Kill a CEO"--a crude exposé of corporate "politricks"--to the poignant "Get Up," where they team up with everybody's other fave raptivists, Dead Prez. Raging against machines and offering solutions to problems that plague low-income communities has never come in a funkier package--the sonic backdrop is mostly live funk instrumentation--and the sheer breadth of topics covered here makes the joints of most top-selling rappers seem inane and unsubstantial. Fans of Mos Def, KRS-One, and Public Enemy will get a rise out of this one. --Dalton HigginsPop Music CDs
