Flashback Friday: The Coup and Shawnna

It’s Friday, people! Celebrate!

Fire up your MP3s, I’ve got some good music for you today.

The Coup, Pick A Bigger Weapon (2006)

I think it’s the perfect time for another Coup album. There is plenty of material these days to fuel their politically charged rhymes, and, in the realm of production, they’ve never been ones to follow trends. The game needs that type of forward-thinking music right now. While we await new material, revisit their 2006 release – their most personal and strongest to date.

“BabyLet’sHaveABabyBeforeBushDoSomethin’Crazy,” featuring Sylk-E. Fyne
“Laugh/Love/F***”

Shawnna, Worth tha Weight (2004)

Remember the First Lady of DTP? Shawnna should have been a game changer. She was the total package of looks, street smarts and impeccable lyrical ability – all clearly showcased on her 2004 debut. Her rapid-fire double-time flow was just as potent as her slower, more seductive rhymes. It’s about time for a comeback, Shawnna.
