His lesser songs would be dookie gold on an ordinary undie-rap album.
-
Of all the group's works, Pick a Bigger Weapon has a greater sense of inclusion and belonging.
-
With each album the Coup’s lyrical messages come across stronger because the music has grown tighter, fuller, more alluring.
-
As lyrically inflammatory as ever.
-
Five albums in, The Coup have just made their best since their debut.
-
At seventeen tracks, Pick a Bigger Weapon isn't as focused or as thoroughly block-rocking as the Coup's 2001 classic, Party Music. But it's the rare record that makes revolution sound like hot fun on a Saturday night.
-
Pick a Bigger Weapon would’ve made a truly killer party album, but two factors hold it back--no one cares about Riley’s politics, and he’s not nearly as clever as he thinks.

JeremiahMMay 9, 2006As usual, the Coup delivers an outstanding album. The beats are great and Boots Riley's straightforward politi-funk is awesome...
