Steal This Album is the third studio album by Oakland hip hop duo The Coup, released four years after their second album Genocide & Juice. Steal this Album is a homage to 70s radical Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book. Steal This Album became the group's most critically successful release, and is widely considered to be their best album.[citation needed] Steal This Album features the group's signature sound, funky live-instrumentation production and socially conscious, political lyrics delivered in a humorous, satirical manner. The album features the single "Me & Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Granada Last Night", a 7+ minute storytelling track.
The album was re-released in 2002 as Steal This Double Album, which featured two bonus tracks, "What the Po-Po's Hate" and "Swervin'", and a bonus disc featuring over 70 minutes of live performance footage.
