Arguably the best "conscious" hip-hop group rockin' it right now. Funky melodies and revolutionary lyrical content blend so well when Pam the Funktress and Boots Riley put everything together.

The Coup - Dig It


The Coup - Funk


The Coup - Me & Jesus the Pimp in a 79 Granada Last Night


The Coup - Fat Cats & Bigga Fish


A more recent video,

The Coup - We Are the Ones

And, go vote right now for the BARS (Bay Area Rap Scene) Awards. Mike T says its rigged. I say vote for "Super Hyphy" for song of "da" year.

"Tell Me When To Go" might have been the crossover jump that we were all waiting for, but "Super Hyphy" was the joint folks in the Bay were slappin' the trunk endlessly until MTV gave hyphy air time to "TMWTG". Over a year old, I still can't get sick of the song. And Traxxamillion brought such an infectious beat, he decided to even recycle the same bass line and more on "On Citas". And that song was still fiyah. While "TMWTG" brought a slew of sub-par remixes, with one decent Bay all star collaboration, nothing can fcuk with the Thizz remix of "Super Hyphy".

While we're all in the voting mood, vote for Touchblue's entry into San Diego Asian Film Festival's Michelob Light Flicks 2006 commercial competition. Objectively speaking (and not cause these dude's are my homies), the other commercials are wack in comparison to theirs. So vote right here. And make sure to vote for "Something for Everyone" directed by Touchblue.
