About The Coup
Originally comprised of Boots Riley, E-Roc, and DJ Pam the Funkstress, the Communist crew from the Bay has consistently remained acclaimed and controversial, preaching Marxist revolution over funk beats that utilize computerized production, prominent basslines, and P-Funk-inspired loops. Their first two LPs, KILL MY LANDLORD (1993) and GENOCIDE & JUICE (1995), released on the now-defunct Wild Pitch label, distinguished the Coup for inventive concept songs and vivid narratives that illustrate the group’s radical philosophy. E-Roc officially left the group before STEAL THIS ALBUM-- an obvious nod to 1960s activist Abbie Hoffman-- was released in 1998. In 2001, the Coup's controversial and unfathomably poorly timed cover art for PARTY MUSIC obscured a critically hailed record. After a break, 2006's PICK A BIGGER WEAPON solidified the crew's cult following.
