coolio - under rated?

[Mietek23]

his first two albums are west coast classics. he had great tracks on various soundtracks

Anyway, Coolio is going to have a show in my hometown next Sunday and I'm def gonna be here

There's a good chance I'll gonna have the opportunity to ask him some questions so if you got one holla back in this thread

well he didnt have a meet and greet, he was meant to be there there from 10.30 but didnt get on stage until 1. he did too hot, c u when i ge there and gangtsa paradise. i stood at the front with my cd covers in hand, he stoped in the middle of gangstas paradise and and signed them. so im happy at that.

Very cool. Wanna see a mag or website do a piece on the making of the gangstas paradise album though:)

Coolio did really good overseas.
during the 90's, Warren G and Coolio were the westcast-rapprs that had the best sucess in Europe and globally..
he's more known in some countrys lke germny etc. "Gngsts Prdise"is one of the bggest hiphop-songs in history - kids in Brazil are sngin it...
i bet Coolio eats well off of the publishing from that song..


underrated as a rapper? i tink his old homie WC is more underated...

 Coolio's a ledgend, "it takes a theif", classic. Came out when i was like 12-13, love that album.
 "Gangstas paradise" i didnt really like to be honest. Was some good tracks.
 Of course they were his biggest albums but "my soul" was pretty good also.
 I liked his raskass collabo's.
 But these two albums were indeed slept on and are dope albums;


"gangsta walk" with Snoop was a cool video.
