I was bumping that shit. People slept, but Coolio was definally hot with that one. Straight out of WC's Mad Circle, his debut shit was tight. Too bad though his broke as fuck now, peeps in the L.A. area report his ass driving around in a Pento now. Damn, but believe it or not, Coolio is still gangsta as a muthaphukka, his style was just commercial to sell records.

Oh yeah, favorite tracks,
Can-O-Corn
Ghetto Cartoon
County Lines
Sticky Fingers
and U Know Hoo! ft. WC

Maybe he ain't broke, but I swear he was driving around in a Pento. His still gangsta. And he tried coming out with another record, he said if people like it, cool, if not, then his done. I kind of wish him and Busta Rhymes would have teamed up with their funky ass hair.

I Think He Just Dropped That "Coolio.com" Album... He Fell Into BIG Money Problems, Actually.

The Record Company Screwwwwwwwed Him, Really, Really Bad, We're Talking Like MC Ren Style, Or Warren G Style.  I Can't Remember The Details, But Pleezbalieve He Got Fu*ked....

He's Also Got A Kinda  Extravagent Entourage, Like Snoop.  He's Got Dozens Of Peeps Eating Off Him, So I Do Believe He's A Little Low On Funds.  Good Thing Aobut Him Is He's Real Charismatic, Though, So He Can Always Get Gigs On T.V. And Stuff, He'll Never Be Totally Broke.  

Remember When he Got Arrested For Stealing Shoes?  He Walked In A Store (Belks, Or Somethin) And Him And His Boys Put A Bunch Of Stuff On, And Walked Out... LOL...

Alright, If You Don't Believe He's Broke, Then Check Out His Site www.Coolio.com.... It's Offline, Cuz A Brotha Ain't Paid His Bills.... LOL....

Discography:

1994: - It Takes A Theif
1995: - Gangsta's Paradise
1997: - My Soul

Fantastic Voyage, I Remember, Gangsta's Paradise, Too Hot, Sumpin' New, Smilin', My Soul, See You When I Get There, All The Way Live, My Soul.... That's A GRIP Of Tight Singles.. I Mean, Every Single He Ever Released Was Pretty Dope, Even If Some Were Commercial, you Really Can't Trip On Coolio.

The Coolio.com Album Was Supposed To Drop In February, But It Didn't That I Know Of.  He's Had BIGGGGG Problems, He Recorded That Track With Kenny Rodgers In 1998!  They Actually Shot The Video Last Fall (MTV.com), But Of Course It Never Saw The Light.

Keep In Mind Too, That Coolio (Even Though He Steals, And Gets Caught Driving Drunk, And Is Arrested From Time To Time For Concealed Weapons :) ) Is A Good Role Model For Kids, He's Always Had A Good Message In HIs Music, And He Donates His Time To A TON Of Charities (Heal The Music, And Several Childrens Charities)...

He Also Got PISSSSSED At Weird Al For Making That "Amish Paradise" Song A Few Years Back.... I Mean, He Was Straight Up Wanting To Beat His Ass At The Grammys... They Asked Him What He Thought , And He Was Like "Frankly, I Do'nt Think It's Cool... He Didn't Ask Permission, And I Don't Think It's Cool At All"...

And If Yall Don't Think He's REAL, Remember This Line:
""In two decades, rap went from Planet Rock,
to crack rock
Now everybody got a Glock
And it don't stop,
Till another brother drop
That's why I poured out a little drink for the homie Pac (Rest In Peace)." - Coolio

Dude...I think we will be seing another album pretty soon....I bet the Kenny Rogers track will just be a Bonus Track Though...But Weird Al felt really guilty when he got in trouble for it...He was liek about to cry...He's not the one who asks for stuff to be cleared and shit, it was his manager. He claims that the his manager told him that Coolio was cool with it, and he felt bad when Coolio didn't want it....But that sux for Coolio, I think "Amish Paradise" was a bigger hit than "Gangsta's Paradise"...LOL
