The Coup suffered a TOUR BUS FLIP and FIRE that nearly killed all the band members in 2004?
Party Music is the fourth studio album by The Coup, an alternative hip hop group based in Oakland, California.
The album, which was originally scheduled to be released in early September 2001, is best known for its original cover art, which depicted Boots Riley and Pam the Funkstress appearing to detonate the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. What appears to be a detonating device is in actuality a digital chromatic tuner, which is used in music to tune instruments or vocals during warm ups. The words on the tuner read Covert-Labs.
The art was created in June 2001. After the September 11, 2001, attacks, the album's release was delayed until November 2001 to allow new cover art to be created.
In an interview with Seattle newspaper The Stranger, Boots Riley spoke about his fight to keep the album cover following the events of September 11:
"There's been a whitewash in the media over the past couple days over what the U.S.'s role in the world is, and the fact that they kill hundreds of thousands of people per year to protect profit. Now how can I get to the point where I could be saying that on the world stage, and interrupt the lies that CBS, CNN, NBC, and everyone is saying? In my view, that [would be] by keeping the cover. Not because I think by looking at the cover you get all of this message that I'm telling you, but as a way to have a platform to interrupt the stream of lies that are being told right now."

Prophetic visionary imagery, retrospectively manufactured hype or as much a corporate-war-machine psy-op as The Lone Gunman 9/11 remote control jet pilot of this X-Files offshoot?
Man, this shit is just too insane -- look at the positioning of the explosions on the respective Twin Towers. Look into the Masonic symbolism of drumsticks, re: 11. Drumsticks, woman's head and white space do make an ALL SEEING EYE pyramid, too. Real sick shit, either way.
