  • Summary: Perhaps best known for being the album that depicted the World Trade Center towers in flames on its cover (before the events of September 11 necessitated a last-minute change of artwork), 'Party Music' is the fourth full-length for the ultra-political rappers.

    Imperfect, definitely. But only because perfection is on the table.

    Not as consistent as The Coup's outstanding Steal This Album from 1998, Party Music still manages to be one of 2001's best.
  3. Village Voice

    Many of the lyrics on Party Music amount to no more than slogans, maxims, opinions.

    Medicine for a ghetto soul. Boots spits radical, deep but direct and accessible. A singular talent--and did I mention that it's funky, fun, and positive as well?… Expand
