The Coup Have Always Been Funky To The Core

Posted over 3 years ago

Friday might be a little less funky without Cody B to school us in the fine art, but I'll do my best to fill in until he gets back. While it seems Cody has thoroughly explored true funk sounds, I like the evolution and reinterpretations that take place once a sound has taken root and started to reseed in other genres. Therefore, I present you with an unexpected twist on Funky Friday - THE COUP!

The Coup - "Funk":

Aw yeah, thas the STUFF! funky like N'Arlins ragtime, smooth like Henny. Boots Riley brings stories from the streets while Pam the Funktress, well, brings that funky feeling that makes yr ass want to boogie!

Dedicated to Cody B during his well-deserved vacation. Here's to a funky fresh new year!

    glad y'all dig!  The Coup are one of my fave groups of all time.  Boots and Pam always deliver the finest music with brutally honest lyrics.
