I like the album too. Saw them on the NIN|JA tour last week, they were awesome live. Although, I did not get to see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izVb664i ... re=related

How far does the similarity to Rage Against The Machine go? Does every single song on the album have some kind of activist message to it? If no I might actually give it a shot.

Oh man, I wish I'd seen this post before I came to work so that I could have downloaded it.

Boots is one of my favorite rappers, even if I'm what his message is often against. :p Tom Morello is one of my favorite guitarists. I can't wait to check this out.

"Genocide and Juice" is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Watched it on youtube, was a good performance. It helped quite a bit that they had the Roots playing with them too :) Still not sure how a retard like Fallon got the Roots as his house band.

I had to redeem myself after recommending Green Day. Although, I still dig that album, too.

I dig this. Not to the "jizz your pants" level, but it's pretty good. It could use more left-wing activist messaging, though (not that it's not in there). A pro-Zapatista song would do wonders for this album!

That's absolutely not what it needs, it's what stopped me from liking Rage more.

I like this cd, but I actually gave The Coup a listen too cause I'd never heard of them. I've listened to most of the Genocide and Juice album and it's pretty good! Reminds me a lot of the Pharcyde.

EDIT: Just got to Santa Rita Weekend, I didn't know Spice 1, MC Eiht and E-40 were in it! Spice and MC Eiht are two of my favorites.

"Steal This Album" is really good, too. It actually won a couple Album of the Year lists and got a lot more critical acclaim, but "Genocide and Juice" reminds me of high school and has more sentimental value for me.

@BootsRiley: Most of u picked "Promenade". Fact: background vocals on that were sung by Steve Perry of Journey.
