The Coup - Me and Jesus The Pimp in a '79 Granada Last Night [Subtitulado al Español]

[@dominachristy9714]

After All these years the song still hits me like it did the first time I heard it

[@funnelman1]

"This trip is over / we ain't finna ride on/ this is for my mental and my momma that I cried on/ Microsoft mofo let bygones be bygones/ but since I'm Macintosh I'm gonna double click your icon" - boots riley

[@raw_si_siht]

So legend.

[@thomascarter5462]

Only today did I hear about The Coup (I'm an old guy). "The Guillotine," "Fat Cats and Bigga Fish," and this one are my first 3 songs by this group, read the lyrics and watched the videos. This is amazing music! The stories they tell are SO moving and their message is so important. Thanks!

[@bradleyrogers7192]

Dope glad u found them. Pam is no longer with us.

[@bradleyrogers7192]

I've known them forever and just discovered this song

[@mynameis9389]

You need to watch “Sorry to bother you” if you haven’t it’s made by Boots Riley

[@joshuaikujuni8879]

same

[@PhanaticalProduction]

Gives me goosebumps every time...Reality can be harsh sometimes.. Heard this on college radio when it first came out i want to say late 90's early 2000's...

[@kybble]

agreed reality is a bitch. Sorta reminds me of Too Short

[@Illone]

Some of the brilliant words ever spoken. Love this it is a Master piece.

[@j-remy9832]

This cut is deep. Still in my top 5 all time. Boots is Town Royalty!

[@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha]

One of my favorite rap songs ever. From Boots rapping, to the amazing production (gotta be one of my favorite beats ever), unreal track. Still slaps as hard now as it did back in the day. One of the most underrated groups ever.

[@umayusu]

I hear a little more of the story each time. This is absolutely tragic and beautiful

[@raw_si_siht]

Facts.

goosebumps every time I listen to this tune… impossible not to listen to it in one take. all time top 10 song on my golden age playlist.

[@natelutkjohn]

Such a good song

[@TomCorbett420]

Oakland do you wanna ride !?

[@aaronhali1109]

This song and video are so tight! RIP Pam

[@socunnomumma]

it's called the art of storytellin..a lost hip hop artform and this was one of 90's top examples of how you do it and one of the greatest examples of that art overall. and by far the greatest real hip hop tune of that kind

[@syntheticgerbil]

Boots was so good at songs like this. From Fat Cats and Bigga Fish all the way to a newer one like We've Got a Lot to Teach You, Cassius Green

[@UpzydeDown]

yeah let's make this an "Art of Storytellin" topic and let me ad "Eightball - Time (Suave House 1998)

[@socunnomumma]

@@UpzydeDown Ight cool. Scarface -I seen a man die & Snoop - Doggz gonna get ya. And off course: Slick Rick - Children's Story.

[@UpzydeDown]

@@socunnomumma Eightball - The artist pays the prize

[@rocketrichard2625]

@@socunnomumma Snoop copied that song nearly word for word, props to KRS/BDP for that tale!

[@finnmarr-heenan2397]

Earthing was super good, the beat, the story, the flow, the actor playing Jesus the pimp

[@rjvernesto.]

I saw the video when it was uploaded. And remember wondering the song actually had a video. One of my favourite tracks ever. Peace to The Coup and Boots Riley. RIP Pam.

[@sibaninzidlatu6055]

This a classic meeeeehn!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@wylkatz]

Absolutely brilliant lyrics. Not sure what made me think of this song...hadn't heard it in 20 years, probably. But the power of the narrative lives on...and on....and on.....

[@Anonymous-wk9zg]

The sample of the woman’s voice along with the drums is my favourite thing about this song which I am going to add to my song list.

[@draztik]

this is one of my favorite songs regardless i never knew there was a video for it till yesterday... i doubt this is a true story or he would have just snitched on himself... he's just a good storyteller

[@ronepting6309]

hes Roger Guenvere-Smith, hes been in hella Spike Lee movies

[@matthewchance8835]

Boots Riley is such a great storyteller rapper, love the "Angel Dust" sample by Gil Scott-Heron

[@sex6cult9revolution]

And the Parliament "Swing Down Sweet Chariot" live in Oakland sample.

[@AceBoogie.]

And now he is a movie Producer/Director. Dope

[@robertaglass]

Awesome. Love The Coup.

[@wentworthcorbin1468]

[@MOBROOKS]

This is my first time seeing this video. I love it.

[@dxjgparko]

[@Oso52TX]

Still banging this

[@JuanCarlos-bg8es]

[@rolandomontana1389]

This will forever be that legendary hidden rap song.

[@Quote23rd]

East Oakland salutes you Jane Millerick

[@janemillerick9614]

I thank you for that.. the man writes and speaks .. like no one else.

[@astifcaulkinyeras]

I love the rhymes at 1:52. I think this is the only hiphop track with the word "mattafack."

[@crackbxtswozniecki2]

Temazo!! esto es rap!

[@jekylwhispy]

btw that's the actor who played the cop in Get On The Bus

[@raw_si_siht]

He's one of those actors you recognize but don't know the name of. No disrespect to the man.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

I could be wrong but I swear I hear a sample from: Rose Banks- You're Much Too Beautiful For Words (1976)...

*”But I never will forget the plastic hand stuck in her face.”*

[@christopherfalks9990]

Top 5 let's blow this song up real hiphop

[@draztik]

Bruh "Jesus" in this video is black. He's hella light skinned but he is black, I can't remember his name but I've seen the actor in movies before. This song has nothing to do with race it's just a story about getting revenge for his mom...

[@silasderr9338]

Roger Guenveur Smith

[@rowdub7745]

His name is roger played in such movies as alot of spike Lee joints one of my personal fav he got game he played a character named showtime or hard time I think iam not completely sure I just poped a xanee stick and a enjoying my morning blunt😂😂🤷🏾‍♂️

[@nyshaemccauley]

❤️❤️❤️

[@FunkFight1]

@KurtG85 I don't understand what you're talking about. Have you actually listened to the lyrics? What "race relations"?

[@adwhite9412]

Plot twist: the real villain in this song is the Grenada. Some cars can make you do evil things.

[@ScouseMouse99]

Absolute classic 😶‍🌫️

[@SlimShady4LifeNigga]

Buenisimo el tema, es bastante pegadizo, tiene un beat de la puta madre, y una historia interesante..

[@xelefonte]

Jesus the pimp is the type that will steal from his prostitutes and then spend that money on legal fees. He goes from pimping to getting pimped.

*All I’m getting from this song is…Jesus getting killed twice: first from the Romans in 30 AC after being betrayed by his 12 disciples especially Judas… and the 2nd time in 1979 as a pimp in Oakland who had it coming to him.*

[@deezportz]

Bacckyardddiittchhh..

[@anyshitt]

Ive been banging this song for over a year now. It's hits home with me. As I have two sons who never knew me. But In my defense? both women lied to there son's and lied to me and lied to everybody else. they said another man was the father. It just goes to show you? what ever game your in. legit or on the other side? roll with the realness, keep it 100 and flow with respect.. Im no longer a baller, but im still a few feet of the curb!

[@MrsMoonChild]

them: tell me about your father me : shares this song

[@KurtG85]

@FunkFight1 His speech gets lost in the beats so I didn't follow the story until I read the lyrics. Thats definitely one of the deepest hip hop songs I've ever heard, probably the deepest. Thats right up there with Immortal Techniques Dance with the Devil. Most people won't follow the lyrics and will just see a black dude trusting, and then getting horribly betrayed by a white dude. That being said, it would obviously be unfair to deny Boots the right to tell his story.

[@mactk625]

Gil Scott heron Angel dust

[@zsuzsannanorin]

jesus looks awesome bad leutenent

[@zsuzsannanorin]

why do u think we r the enemy.....

[@KurtG85]

Whatever he is I found it sad that a story expressing the realest trust ever seen in a popular music video between a black man and a man indistinguishable from a white/hispanic man ended in betrayal and murder. As I said, if its a true story its not like you can blame boots. I understand the story being told isn't focused on race.
