10. The Coup - Party Music
The politically charged LA hip hop outfit were set to release their album Party Music in September 2001… which turned out to be a terrible move as the cover featured band members Boots Riley and Pam The Funkstress stood in front of the exploding Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. What was originally a provocative statement on capitalist America turned into a horrible lapse of taste once the events of September 11 transpired and the album was issued two months later with a different sleeve.
