What's sad is that Tone Loc has 2 hits, so his not included... lol... also Ras Kass has no hits (commercial wise) so he can't be put in here, and Shade Sheist I have no idea if he has no hits or 2. But this list is solid I think.

skeelo... never heard another track from him


Quote from: Soopafly DPGC about his hands
I don't live for the man, but I do study him so I can hope my pimp hands one day become as strong as his. When i first started listening to him, my hands were only strong enough to crush a beetle.  Now that i've studied him for 15 years, my hands are strong enough to crush a dog.

Hell no, man. Ooh La La...Too Hot... 1-2-3-4... that's already six hit singles. Coolio ain't a one hit wonder.

I find it hard to believe that cause over here Too Hot was also huge, as well as C U When I Get There.

he released Top of the Stairs as a single. This is the album version, but the single version is on the Money Train soundtrack, obviously it was not a hit.

I realized I missed some G-Funk one hit wonders... so I think I'll have a Westcoast One Hit Wonders poll... The G Funk Era later.

I remember when that 1-2-3-4 (Sumptin' New) joint was on radio station rotation 24/7!

Off 2 albums... Fantastic Voyage and Gangsta's Paradise Coolio had a good number of hits and made his mark in hip-pop culture.
