classic, not just west classic

Got to agree, its like 1 of those songs everyone heard about regardless how much rap they did or didn't listen too. Wish Coolio would of had more success.

"Fantastic Voyage" was a better song and video but "Gangsta's Paradise" is also another Coolio classic. I wish Coolio didn't go so "pop". Shoulda kept it gangsta like on It Takes A Thief and his Maad Circle material. His voice and flow were extremely nice.

Of course, it's a classic. I remember in 1995, it was fucking impossible to turn on the radio and not hear that fucking song.
