Like Outkast? Try The Coup’s handclap-happy politico-rap, “The Magic Clap”

Jordy Kasko August 17, 2012 0

Funky politico-rap outfit The Coup haven’t released an album since 2006′s Pick a Bigger Weapon, but on October 30, they’ll drop their first record in 6 years, Sorry to Bother You.  The first single is the catchy, driving “The Magic Clap”… which, as you might imagine, features a whole helluva lot of handclapping.

Is it just me, or does the rapper sound almost identical to Outkast/André 3000?  Even the song’s general structure and feel are reminiscent of Outkast’s early work, which makes me like the track even more.  Hear it below!
