===Literature===
*The 2001 novel ''Too Beautiful For Words'', by Monique W. Morris, was based on The Coup's 1997 7-minute opus "Me And Jesus The Pimp In A '79 Grenada Last Night".<ref>{{cite news|author=AlterNet / By Jeff Chang |url=http://www.alternet.org/story/12194/the_new_coup_debut |title=The New Coup Debut |work=Alternet |date=2002-01-08 |access-date=2014-01-27}}</ref> Morris kept the original storyline and main characters of the song as the setting for her work. Some of the dialogue in the book is directly from the song as well. The title of the novel is from the refrain of the bridge in The Coup's song. Published by HarperCollins Publishers.
*[[Vijay Prashad]]'s 2002 book, ''Fat Cats and Running Dogs'' starts with a quote from The Coup's "Fat Cats and Bigga Fish".<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=twOwWfx_UpkC |title=Fat Cats & Running Dogs: The Enron Stage of Capitalism – Vijay Prashad – Google Boeken |isbn=9781842772614 |access-date=2014-01-27|last1=Prashad |first1=Vijay |year=2002 |publisher=Zed Books }}</ref>
*The 2013 book ''Party Music'', by Rickey Vincent, was inspired by the concept of The Coup's 2001 album ''Party Music'' and discussions that the author had with Boots Riley about the subject. The book is a history of The Lumpen, the Black Panther Party's funk band. Riley wrote the introduction to the book.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Hildebrand |first=Lee |title=Rickey Vincent's Party Music: The KPFA DJ's new book chronicles how The Black Panther Party used funk to spread its revolutionary message |work=East Bay Express|access-date=2014-01-27 |date=2013-10-23 |url=http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/rickey-vincents-party-music/Content?oid=3745240 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131111004205/http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/rickey-vincents-party-music/Content?oid=3745240 |archive-date=November 11, 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web
