Boots Riley was arrested and charged with "abusive language" by the Norfolk Police Department after dropping the F-bomb twice in a two minute period. A few of you may remember mogger Sturgell interviewed Boots just a few months ago. The incident came Saturday night at the Bayou Boogaloo and Cajun Festival in Virginia, the show was winding down and Boots was introducing his band mates when event organizers motioned him off stage. Foul language is "not something we toler... MORE

Blog post image preview Hey Moggers, This Friday I've got an interview with Boots Riley, 1/2 of Oakland based hip hop group The Coup. We'll be meeting up before a gig here in the East Bay. The Coup's style is a funky rap with a twist of soul and leftist overtures. Their '06 Pick a Bigger Weapon released via Epitaph generated a lot of buzz and two hhit singles. What's next? It's going to be interesting to get a sneek peek from Boots about what him and DJ Pam the Funkstress are up to. ... MORE

Blog post image preview Couple days ago The Coup did a free show here in Eugene and I just gotta say that if you ever get the chance definitely check The Coup out live. Pam the Funkstress wasn't there but he had a live band with him and did so many of his greatest tracks. Definitely check out The Coup if you haven't heard of it, politically charged good hip-hop is always worth checking out. A little about Boots Riley, he's the MC of The Coup and is a firm believer in people controlling the gov... MORE

Take that Tony Hawk

Artist:
Album:
Track:
Other Tags: EA Skate
In what is being viewed as the first real attempt to challenge Tony Hawk's video game franchise, EA just upped the ante by releasing the soundtrack for their newest video game titled "Skate". While Tony Hawk games are known for their over the top action and tricks, Skate hopes to have a game that is more like real skate culture. The soundtrack does just that, and if its any indication of how the game is going to be, Mr. Hawk better do something to re- invent himself. Here ... MORE

Right now I am listening to "the Coup" As usaul, my posts are a year late. Keep in mind I've had this lp for about a year, well I know I purchased "Pick a Bigger Weapon"last year. Just had to say, this cd is great. The tragedy that is todays hiphop/rap frequently featured on the radio(coporate money taker)is missing this. Yet they have little recognition?It maybe the case that, radio really does dictate listenablilty. No poetry to offer, I am not a writer. If you hav... MORE

And I quote, "The Coup, politically radical and Marxist in their music, align themselves with other radical hip-hop groups like dead prez. Their music is characterized by electronic sounds and bass-driven backbeats overlaid by humorous, cynical and sometimes violent lyrics criticizing capitalism, American politics, prostitution, and police brutality, among other things" Love these guys, and this little tune has been pumping out of my speakers pretty much all day. If you li... MORE
