The Coup is a Marxist underground rap group, and they are pretty good I guess. This album has some pretty decent political songs, but after a while the theme of class repression gets tedious. There's a reason the Communist Manifesto is only like 40 pages long, because otherwise - boring. The music in the album is not very terrific either, although I guess I've only listened to it once, so who am I, Gene Shalit? Check it out if you hate rich people.RATING: 55%

The Coup had a pretty good song they did with Dead Prez called "Get Up." Marxism is much more emotionally satisfying than it is politically or intellectually useful, which is probably why Rage Against the Machine, Dead Prez, System of a Down, etc. sound so awesome even though almost no one wants to live under a communist regime.
