The Coup :: ‘Dig It’  (1993, from the album Kill My Landlord)

“Masses move as well as asses do. Class is through.”

Hip hop does not get better, smarter or heavier than this. “Turn this shit over like Bush did a boatload of Haitians.” I mean, come on.

A couple of things. “Dirty Old Bossa Nova” is possibly the greasiest song ever recorded. Also? That album cover is amazing.

Finally, this was sampled, sped up and turned into one of the great rap tunes (by the greatest rap group of all time) about being young and dumb on a beautiful Friday afternoon:

Happy beautiful Friday, Tumblr.

Clyde “Funky Drummer” Stubblefield in the New York Times: “People use my drum patterns on a lot of these songs,” he said. “They never gave me credit, never paid me. It didn’t bug me or disturb me, but I think it’s disrespectful not to pay people for what they use.” Yo. GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME.
