IMPORTANT (Please read to avoid confusion):
Some items below may be tagged with a bold, red, all-caps "out of print/unavailable" notice. This does NOT mean that all other items not so tagged are, in fact, in stock -- or for that matter, in print and available, though there's a good chance they are. Some folks get confused on this point, and we can see why, so please read this for further clarification and other important before-you-order information. Unlike some mailorder websites, we don't have an electronic inventory system linked to our site, so you can't be sure of what we actually have or don't have in stock at any given moment without asking us -- please email our mailorder department for availability status -- or better yet, just go ahead and place your order using our shopping cart function and we'll get back to you with the status of each item. If you have general non-mailorder questions, email the store.


album cover COUP, THE Party Music (75 Ark) cd 15.98
THIS IS CURRENTLY OUT OF PRINT OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE TO US AT THE MOMENT, SO PLEASE DO NOT ORDER IT. SORRY.
Windy's favorite hip hop record of the year, along with Cannibal Ox's Cold Vein, is The Coup's Party Music. A lot of you heard *about* it before it ever got released, due to the cover art which depicted The Coup's Boots and Pam the Funkstress blowing up the World Trade Center with a mixing board / detonator. Pretty incendiary stuff. And it was supposed to come out the same week! The cover was conceived long before the WTC attacks, and obviously was supposed to symbolize The Coup's stance against capitalism in general. Anyway, the album has a new cover (a molotov cocktail) but the lyrics are just as revolutionary as ever. The hardhitting lyrics complement the music nicely, in fact, cos the music is relatively light, not "gangsta", not creepy or weirdo like much of the other hip hop AQ likes lately (Cannibal Ox, Sensational, etc) -- it's funk-filled and danceable and righteous and even approaches De La Soul territory on songs like "Wear Clean Draws", Boots' sweet song filled with advice for his daughter, which features Pam the Funkstress either playing with a squeaky doll or just doing some mighty deft scratching. Highly recommended!
THE WTC COVER IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE, SORRY!

album cover COUP, THE Party Music (Anti) cd 12.98
Oakland rap crew with no luck (labels going under, FBI investigations, etc.) The Coup is still keeping us waiting for some new music. Not sure if they're disbanded or on hiatus or what...they've had their ups and downs careerwise over the years that's for sure. But in these dark days we need their political partytime hiphop more than ever. Thankfully, their three-year-old masterpiece Party Music is again available from a new label, as it has now been reissued via Epitaph/Anti. It's got the same substitute album cover (more on that below), but there's a computer video clip for "Ride The Fence" included that we don't think was on the 75Ark version. Here's what we wrote about this record-of-the-week cd when it was first released back in 2001:
