I wish they’d do a track with Bieber & Drake or at the very least The Weeknd..
Used to see Boots all around Oakland back in the day. Good dude. I’ll definitely be there to see the opening. Super proud of the brother.
I noticed the similar title to the Coup album but had no idea Boots was actually the director of the movie. That’s dope, glad to see him staying busy and doing something mainstream.
How can the Coup do an album, I thought the group only consisted of Boots and Pam the Funkstress, who died earlier this year (RIP), unless they plan on having the E-Roc guy who was co-rapper on the first few albums back in the early ’90s. Also, please include some new Street Sweeper Social Club material, the album was probably the dopest rap/rock hybrid project ever (possibly excluding body count), way better than Prophets of Rage
Pam the Funkstress had minimal input to studio recordings, she was mainly the live DJ.
So the movie has been out for almost 3 weeks and he’s releasing the soundtrack now? For a race baiting film that talks about corporate greed etc, isn’t it a big ironic that he’s releasing the soundtrack so late? There is a joke there somewhere. A racist joke…
Did you see the movie or are you just talking? Let me guess… you saw half of a trailer then ran to your keyboard to give a psuedo political hot take.
Sorry. I actually saw it unfortunately. A stupid race baiting piece of hot garbage. It’s funny that a “white voice” can actually make you money, right?
Perhaps if you work in telemarketing, collections or generally in almost ALL call sites. Perception is a motherfucker.
You must be white with a subconscious tinge of misunderstanding in what racism IS to those not in your shade of skin just waiting to eventually burst in all its racial glory. Why do you even bother with the world of hip-hop?
