Kam & The Coup appreciation thread

[DatNiggaDazisBack]

Give it up to them 

They are by far the most political that the West Coast had, and just doesn't get their proper shine.

Well 2niteI giveit to them

[Juronimo]

I haven't heard much of the Coup but Kam is the shit, he's one of the best lyricists in the game.

[Bojakabo]

both are tight.."me and jesus the pimp in a 79 grenada last night" classy 

[Big_Ron]

It would definitely be dope to see them do a album together.

i havenīt heard anything from The Coup. not that i know of atleast but Kam is the shit. definently one of my favorite rappers of all time and unlike most of these so called "greats" Kam spits shit thatīs actually worth listening to. if you wanna listen to something thatīll make you stop and think about some serious things for a while then Kam is definently something for you. my favorite Kam songs would prolly be Keep The Peace and I Donīt Think So(one of the best joints released in years IMO).

cats who havent heard much of the coup should check out "ride the fence" its one of their more recent singles and is funky as hell.

[nibs]

kam is off the hook no question.  i'm wondering what's happening with his "self" album. 

i'd recommend picking up the coup's second album "genocide & juice".  it bumps from beginning to end, it still sounds good today, and i think it's a classic album.  the way the tell a little story with the first three songs, fat cat's bigger fish, pimps, taking these, is just brilliant.  although for some reason "taking these" was the first single.  why would you release the third song in a trylogy as the first single???

and I Donīt Think So(one of the best joints released in years IMO).

Certainly in my top three tracks of this year. Kam spits real, Made In America's just a great album from start to finish.

Kam's 1st album is cool. Sounds like Death Certificate production. Kam's 2nd album "Made in America" is a classic IMO. Kamnesia was a dissapointment. Can't wait to hear him with PE. The Coup is cool cuz they mix humor with their politics so it's not too preachy. The only album I've heard is "Steal This Album." It's pretty good.

[BiG*WiCkEd]

Kams a legend, no doubt. His first two albums were bomb, specially Made In America. A great lyricist, he spits true shit all day everyday and should be recognized way more than he is now. His skills are obvious on Dj Pooh's Bad News Travelz Fast, a westcoast classic.

Kam's one of my favorite lyricsts as well...the way he flows on tracks + his lyrical content definitely makes him stand out; not just as a West Coast MC but as a rapper in general.
His album "The Self" is in my top 5 of "most anticipated CD's"...I just hope it'll drop somewhere early 2006.

I haven't heard much of the Coup but Kam is the shit

[DatNiggaDazisBack]

upn this thread.

Im glad Im not the only recognizer of talent beyond the gang banging pistol popping west coast music.  It's cool but we got more than one ways to skin a cat.
