Background
In June 2013, YG Entertainment announced that Missy Elliott and Diplo would be collaborating on the album,[1] with Missy Elliot appearing on "Niliria" while Diplo appeared in "Coup d'Etat." Jessica Oak from Billboard magazine describes the album's title track, co-produced by American DJs Diplo and Baauer, as a slow tempo trap influenced song,[2] which samples Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised."[3] YG Entertainment released the music video for "Coup d'Etat" on YouTube on September 1, 2013, which garnered over 750,000 views after a day.[2] Seoul Beats praised the direction of the music video, describing it as "a vivid three minute, twenty-two second journey to the shadowy side of G-Dragon’s visual imagination."[4]
