If you haven’t heard of The Coup you should educate yourself ASAP. The Coup is arguably the best political rap group out, imagine Dead Prez with a touch of humor that adds levity to Boots Riley’s grim messages. With the addition of a live band, they keep your head bobbing.
So it is with much pleasure that I share with you the song of the week “The Guillotine” from the yet to be released “Sorry to Bother You
Warning contains the lyrics:
“They got the TV- we got the truth
They own the judges and we got the proof
We got hella people- they got helicopters
They got the bombs and we got the, we got the
We got the guillotine
We got the guillotine, you better run”
Enjoy the Wizard of Oz homage.
As an added bonus The Coup has a Kickstarter campaign for a tour bus with some amazing rewards for donations, such as producing your album or spitting sixteen bars on your album or having dinner or a drink with you.
