MOG Editorial Review

While Bay Area rappers the Coup already had a reputation for being fiercely political by the time they released Steal This Album, it was arguably the first one to have beats as intense as its rhymes. As the rock-inspired beats of opener "The Shipment" indicate, Boots Riley and DJ Pam the Funkstress had a new sense of urgency here, demanding your attention as they relate drug problems with class warfare. What's more, the follow it up with their biggest track ever, "Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Granada Last Night," a sprawling tale that will make you horrified about Oakland's prositution problems. More astoundingly, though, is the ability of Riley to do it without shouting slogans, instead painting a gritty, devastating portrait that will make you want to do something about it, showing that the Coup could get their message across in bold, new ways.
AMG Review of Steal This Double Album

All Music Guide

Steal This Double Album is the Coup's masterstroke, taking the advances of Genocide and Juice to the next level and coming up with one of the most underappreciated hip-hop albums of the '90s. Down to a duo, the Coup officially becomes a vehicle for Boots Riley's observations, which it mostly was already; still, there's a greater focus simply because of the fact that it's a product of one ambitious vision. Boots' impassioned political rhetoric is still in full-force, but the main strengths of Steal This Double Album are its fleshed-out characters and witty, detailed, image-rich storytelling that would do Slick Rick proud. Its intellectual and emotional depth come from Boots finding the humanity not only in his ideology, but in a much-maligned class of people articulating their frustrations and analyzing the world they live in from both the inside and the outside. His flair for the dramatic reaches its apex on the seven-minute saga "Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Granada Last Night." It's a complex, cinematic story about a young man who loathes his father -- an abusive pimp who eventually beats his mother to death -- but can't help internalizing some of the same behavior. Equally touching is "Underdogs," a heartbreaking account of the everyday reality of poverty. Boots' ironic wit is all over the rest of the record. The dark-humored "Breathing Apparatus" finds a gunshot victim with no health insurance pleading with his friend not to let doctors pull the plug. Elsewhere, the Coup's "Repo Man," from their Genocide and Juice and Steal This Album LPs returns (in the person of Del Tha Funkee Homosapien) on "The Repo Man Sings for You"; and Boots acts out a gleefully provocative fantasy (on record, anyway) with "Piss on Your Grave," which concerns slave owner George Washington. The whole album is strikingly consistent, managing to be smart, funny, touching, and funky all at once; it's nothing short of brilliant. [Like the Coup's first two albums, Steal This Album went out of print rather quickly; it was later reissued as Steal This Double Album, Rovi
