Coolio dead at 59
I know the majority of this forum hates rap. But Coolio was huge at one point. Gangsta’s Paradise got played to death on the radio in the 90s.

He was in Batman and Robin of all movies. My favorite use of Gangstas Paradise was over the end credits in Pain and Gain.

Just watched his set at Riot Fest a few days ago in Chicago. Crazy that he's no longer with us. RIP

Not really my style of music, but the Gangsters in Paradise had a catch tune and which led to Weird Al what is probably his best known Song Amish in Paradise.

Is it just me, or was he always pissed off or irritated? I can't remember ever seeing him look happy.
Either way, 59 is too young to go, for sure.

It was huge with kids because Stevie Wonder wouldn't let Coolio sample his music for a song that was explicit. One of the first big rap hits that didn't have to be edited for radio?

He was a rapper. Isn't that part of the act for most rappers that they are supposed to look pissed off and angry all the time?
Me too. RIP

May he RIP. This one is definitely out of left field.
