Steal This Album is the third album by
Oakland hip hop duo
The Coup, released four years after their second album
Genocide & Juice. Steal this Album is a parody on 70s radical Abbie Hoffman's
Steal This Book. Steal This Album became the group's most successful release, commercially and critically, and is widely considered to be their best album. 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.

Daron Malakian, Steal This Album! was recorded in mid-2002 and released on

American Recordings. The album reached No. 15 in the
Billboard Top 200.This album was released shortly after a collection of medium-quality MP3s found their way onto the Internet under the unofficial name Toxicity II, a year after the release of the group's multi-platinum record,
Toxicity. The band issued a statement expressing their disappointment that their fans were hearing
unfinished material, and released the finished versions of the leaked material. Most, but not all tracks from the original leak made it onto Steal This Album! (e.g. "Cherry"), and several new tracks such as "Roulette" were also added. Many song titles, lyrics, and melodies were changed, making the new album significantly different from the unfinished product.
