Coolio definitely has some dope music in his catalogue, the stuff he recorded with WC and the Maad Circle was mad dope

IMO 'It Takes A Thief' was a great, great album. 'Gangsta's Paradise' had some class tunes on, as did 'My Soul', but nothing as raw as that first CD.

Everybodt knows Coolio for "Gangsta's Paradise" but few really appreciate him.I remember 3-4 years ago when he came to my country for a concert and I couldn't go.I still regret it.

And the stuff he did with WC And The Maad Circle is classic to me.

"Ain't A Damn Thang Changed" especially.I love that album.

Props to Coolio.
