The Coup Defy Bling Bling Hip-Hop Stereotype

Launch.com spoke with The Coup’s Pam The Funkstress who talked about the group’s difficulty in getting an audience and keeping it real. Said Pam, “If you’re not bling-blingin’ and drinkin’ the Cristal and drivin’ a Bentley, you’re not considered anything. The Benz is their moms, the money they borrowed, the cellular phone is their friends–it’s just a bunch of fake stuff. But I’m gonna be Pam The Funkstress and I’m gonna be Pam, and I’m not gonna change for anything.”
