Party Music by The Coup

Party Music is a Soul & Funk album by The Coup, originally released in 2001. On Gatefold: 5 pressings tracked, owned by 8 collectors.

About

By embracing a tighter, more traditional brand of hip-hop than he had on 1998’s <i>Steal This Album</i>, Boots Riley helped make 2001’s <i>Party Music</i> one of The Coup’s most convincing statements. “Wear Clean Draws,” “Ghetto Manifesto,” and “Tight” are three of the nastiest beats of Riley’s career, and even the rock-infused “Lazymuthafu**a” is driven by a ferocity that should be feared by feebler rappers. Riley’s intelligence is matched by his gutsiness. While JAŸ-Z made CEO worship a fixture of hip-hop culture, The Coup were unafraid to dismantle his posturing with the merciless—yet highly danceable—“5 Million Ways to Kill a C.E.O.”
