Rest In Peace coolio
I used to wash dishes and bus tables at a restaurant by an airport in ‘06 when I was 15, I met him while he was having some food waiting on his next flight. I had never met a celebrity before and realizing instantly who he was I was nervous to bus the tables around him while he ate. I guess he picked up on it and asked me if I was okay. I told him that I was nervous because I had never met a celebrity before and I was a fan of gangsters paradise. His energy was so different than I had expected. We chatted for a minute or two and it helped my nervousness so much. Never forgot that day nor will I ever. He asked me what there was to do around my city and I told him and then I had to get back to work. He patted me on the back and told me to keep my grades up and even tho I was working, to not let it effect my grades. He was such a down to earth dude that day. Like a friend you could hang with or something. I told all my friends and they were so jealous lol. RIP Coolio, getting older and seeing my childhood heros pass never gets easy.
That's awesome you had that experience and RIP Coolio 😔
Awesome bro...sounds like Coolio was down to earth, just trying to be a righteous dude..I believe some times people are put in your life even for a brief moment for a reason...💯💯💯
that sounds cool(io)he seems like a genuine real down to earth dude I guess addiction and being out of the spotlight for awhile does that to you good for hi neither Way rip coolio
beautiful story
Very nice story, i was the biggest coolio fan in germany back then
He wasn't the most dynamic rapper of his generation but like Tupac his words carried emotion and a realism which really brought his big personality out on records whether it be a darker track like Gangstas paradise or some of his more funky tunes, his legacy is set in stone and will live on through the ages. RIP Coolio 🙏
Coolio was special, he wasn’t the best rapper…
His personality shined thru his songs…
People felt that…
That’s rare…
I wasn’t a big Coolio fan but now looking back I was always rooting for him…
RIP Coolio 🙏🏽❤️
100%
He wasn't the best ? Let me hear your songs
@@HDDUBBFILMS I bet MY songs are better than YOURS…
I’m comparing him to peers obviously and it’s my opinion u don’t have to agree Negative Nancy…
Come on bruh, he definitely was one of the best rapper … Rip triple OG Coolio !!
@@thefatalveli1225 I respect your opinion broski 100%
His Howard Stern Acapella was amazing. I'll never forget his voice. We lose all the unique ones. Coolio and ODB was my obsession growing up. RIP.
mine too... they were for the kids
@@IDoThingsa damn right. ODB and Coolio were like no other yet everyone else was the same. Can't believe both are gone. Even my fav graffiti writers are gone. Used to blame myself as a teenager that my idols are dropping like fies. 34 now and learned thats how life goes. Much love fam.
Who is ODB?
@@SonXo1 Ol Dirty Bastard from Wu-Tang Clan.
I enjoyed his music during my teenage years in the 90’s. R.I.P. Coolio.
ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS IN RAP HISTORY NOT JUST YOUR CARREER YOU LEGEND R.I.P.
It was Stevie Wonder s song......didnt you watched the video???
@@Clowis lol no i didnt at all and no it was his song they were different and he paid to use it making it into his own song which stevie wonder approved of but does not make it the same song just because its based off another its not a cover at all
@@Clowis also coolio even said that ots his greatest song lol he said that in the video did you not watch the video?
@@dylanwickund9109 Yeah I commented when i saw that it was a Stevie W song then i watched the rest and undestood what happened
Coolio didn’t even write the song.
Gangstas paradise was one of the first rap songs I ever heard in my life , growing up in Mexico not even understanding the words but loved the beat and flow: thank you Coolio for introducing me to hip hop
Thanks be to Stevie Wonder too then!
@@edelweiss9460 him too . I didn’t learn about him til later in my teens and the whole concept of sampling and stuff. Hip hop is truly amazing
Gangstas Paradise is a timeless anthem!
RIP.
R.I.P Coolio, one of the most important artists that shaped my life when i was growing up.
It Takes A Thief is still one of the best rap albums ever! Just listened to it again last month. Can’t believe he’s gone. RIP Coolio.
All of his albums were successful
Coolio go in soo hard on this right here, straight up BANGER! He aint like all them goofies and oppas who just be usin dat *HIPVIEWS* dawwwwt cawwwm jawwwwn to get mad exposure on them socials, SMH seem like anyone can glow up these days.
All of his albums were successful
His life has been successful, in recent years, he did not focus with singing, but rather poke with reality TV shows
Why do you always try to show that something is not normal?
R.I.P coolio ❤️❤️❤️
he even have a cook book and a cooking show..he was a good cook though
For clicks
R.I.P to the legend coolio we will miss you
Nice video by the way i liked and subbed
Thank u 🙏🏼
✊🏾✊🏾
One of a kind uplifting Artist, so much fun and positivity in his music which is by no other rapper to find. Coolio with the flow for me was the best Rap Artist ever.
Coolio is the reason I got into hip-hop in the first place.
I hate to see a legend go
If y’all didn’t know, LV, the guy on the chorus, made the original version of “Gangster’s Paradise” after “Passtime Paradise.” It’s why he’s on song, also.
He was an old school and unfortunately he didn’t know anything about streaming fraud like younger generations. This guy was a legend and every view and stream he has is genuine. That’s why he was in financial problems. That’s sad.
Rip Coolio. He was a hip hop pioneer. 🙏🙏🙏
One of the moments that brought me to respect Coolio in recent years was being a mentor for a short while to the mega-hiphop group BTS, who are now the biggest most popular band, in both KPop & not in KPop, in the world right now, & that's not a stretch. He taught them a little bit about history, fashion & then some words of inspiration ...
"The most important thing, keep on pumpin' your heart. Stay dedicated to your crafts, stay dedicated to your life. So if the music is your life, you must be very dedicated to it,...Do it because you love it." --- Coolio to BTS (in 2014)
I was about to comment this.👋
He also done some work with some relatively small Irish hip hop artists that are called versatile. He recently just bought a music studio in Dublin before he passed
@@trickster6669 ... That's both nice & sad at the same time. I assume you are referring to this one ... czcams.com/video/8PMK9wbWQlY/video.html
Hip hop group??
@@Sezz-Bo ... Yes, BTS is a hiphop group, but they also do about 15 other genres of music, including R&B & pop. Hiphop/rap is their main style though since debut nearly a decade ago. And most of their songs are in their native home language.
R.I.P. Coolio . We love you brother . You in a Gangata’s Paradise in heaven
RIP coolio man you have no idea how your song " gangstas paradise " helped me in many ways of dealing my short temper anger perhaps my soul was satisfied how your lyrics deep dive into my own being ...
And to all G out there we gonna fool around do dope stuffs and break laws but at some point we gotta grow up and gotta give the youth a better place to live 👊..
R.I.P. Coolio truly another legend lost
The man made some timeless bangers, that's for sure. gangsters paradise literally never gets old. I grew up listening to that song after coming to the US and it still feels just as fresh as it did back in the 90s.
As a native of Inglewood, California, I've been to a few Coolio shows and respected him. I never did like Gangsta's Paradise which 'cause a lot of arguments and my class. But I luv Fantastic Voyage, 1, 2, 3, 4, Too Hot and countless others.. Respect 🙏 Coolio for showing luv to 2Pac while Pac was incarcerated in Tupac's video - Temptations... Rest Peacefully Coolio, There's a Heaven For a G 🙏 🤲
The vibe he gave was of a very kind gentleman
Coolio and WC rapping together back in the 90s will forever be stamped in my brain. I Remember willalways be one of my favorites. RIP big homie
Rest in paradise Coolio. I knew your music but I fell in love with you all over again when I saw you on BTS American Hustle Life. Gone too soon.
Ya'll got to check out the video when they sang gangsters paradise live at howard stern's studio.
Amazing.
Rest in paradise legend🙏🏾🕊️
Really enjoyed this vid. I learned a lot about his life outside the music. I did not know he had passes away. Thanks for the vid and have a good day!
A fellow Leo I was also born the 1st. I know it doesn't mean to much I would of loved to of known it when he was alive. RIP KING .
RIP Coolio
Rest in peace the greatest Legend of all time Coolio
RIP to a legend
I played Gangsters Paradise until the CD was worn down - RIP Coolio
Oh no, I didn't know that he recently passed 😔
R.I.P Coolio
Because he boldly and unapologetically exposed the music industry.
@@RealityOfItIs Yeah, that's a dangerous thing to do.
His songs will forever be on my playlists ⏯️
Great vid!!!
His best song was “c u wen u get there” by far
Rest in peace Coolio
Jamaica 🇯🇲
Coolio inspired alot ✨️ RIP 🙏

RIP COOLIO 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thanks bro
@@MusicVibeChannel you got new subscriber bro
❤🙌🙏good stuff
Rest In Peace Coolio
Omg, i did not new. Timeless tune
R.i.p legend !
Tupac wrote Coolio's verse for gangsters paradise! Sad that this truth will probably never come out.
Never heard that before. I am skeptical
@@markl5998 Yea alot of people don't know? But it is the truth. Back at this time there was a lot of ghostwriting goin on! Biggie with Lil Kim & Junior Mafia, J-Flex & Jay-z with Dre, Jadakiss & Big with Puff, N best believe most of all Pac with many various artist. One reference in Gangsters Paradise where he subliminally says the fact is where Coolio says " I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24foe the way things are going IDK'? If Coolio wrote this he would of been much older at the time. In 2pac coincidentally not would of been this exact age. Truthfully Coolio either dropped a heavy 💰 for these verses or what I think nowing Pac it was cuz he messed N respected the OG.
That's fake news you have nothing to back up your claim
Fr fr tell me more
@@roymann5352 gaypac didn’t write shit
I remember watching the fantastic voyage video as a kid. also went cross country with only a tape of g's paradise in the car))))
Rest in peace and may God rest your soul you will never be forgotten 🕊
Once I rapped this song with a Polish guy in a Japanese karaoke bar. Good weird times.....
rip coolio thanks for the music
Wow this is just amazing what a ride he had , so glad he has done so well for himself
RIP Coolio , my fave song was definitely fantastic voyage 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽❤️
R.I.P the late rapper Coolio🕊🕊 but we thought your were gonna drop lil kims biography😭
🤫🤫🤫🤫
Damn i heard about this days ago its crazy i remeber wen this came out it was playing on for weeks n weeks n weeks along with the movie dangreous minds. Also he sang this in a mike tyson fight. Damn i was young im bout to be 43 coming up years fly by so fasst. R.i.p coolio
A gentle giant in every way. A big loss
Coolio, the sound track of the 90's 🙆
R.I.Gangster's Paradise 😎🏝️⛱️🌴🌄🌴
One of the dopest rap songs in history😎. RIP🕊 coolio🥀legend 4E🔥
When i heard that he died. I knew a video with this title will come along
Man I didn’t realize he died 3 days after I basically lost everything. That blows man :( RIP
Shame you didn't add that he was the intro track to kenan and kel
😮
I worked in a high fashion store and he came in about 2 months before he died. It’s was like 1pm and he was drunk af. He was screaming on the phone on speaker and couldn’t stand. He was being really distrusting and creepy towards the female staff. It was really hard to see him like that
This song and his beat stay immortal forever ❤
Gangsta's Paradise was originally an L.V. song, his idea, he wrote the hook. That is what Coolio first heard when he walked in his producer's house. Coolio always gave L.V. credit for this.
Also this video should have mentioned Coolio's crew 40Thevz: Wino, Billy Boy, Lek Ratt, PS, Spoon, DJ Fatbox (RIP), Malika, Shorty of Da Lench Mob (RIP), Rated R of Thug Life, and Ras Kass. They deserve their due. So much talent forgotten 🙏
RIP Coolio
Wtf rated R and rass Kass?!?!
Do you know who wrote the verses though?
To answer both your questions - Yes. It is no secret.
My 1st Yahoo hacker alias was Coolio in the late 90s, R.I.P. my boy.
Went to middle school with his nephew in Diamond Bar. Hope Darrel is doing well!
One of my favourite all time inspiration song ie Gangster's paradise by Artis Leon Ivey jnr ie Coolio by Steve Irungu Jermaine
He was born in Monessen,Penn. but moved to CPT,Ca.RIP g🕊️🕊️🙏

Rest In Power dear Coolio ... blessings _on your young sweet heart ❤
The biggest Eva gangsta Rest in peace eternally Coolio
chill
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 LOVE YOU FROM INDIA, KARNATAKA ❤❤❤❤
Great job and props to Stevie Wonder, because most rappers are missing the point in swearing and expecting great support.
I agree totally. Stevie came up in different time and knew the real struggle. He didn't go through what he did for that word to be used on something he was attached too. Mad respect.
Rest In (Gangsta's) Paradise Coolio❤🌹
Fun fact he made theme song for show ken and kel
R.I.E.P Coolio.
God bless us and help us and always stay with us
A lot of people just dropping dead this year... They call it sudden death syndrome at the moment. Crazy!
I first heard of coolio when Snoop Dogg mentioned him in the song "doggy Dogg world"
Gangsta’s Paradise it’s eternally a legendary song ❤
Can you do a video on the breakup of Murder Inc the owner of that label does not like Ashanti he was talking about her on the podcasts like he has something against her
