"Fantastic Voyage" was the first single off his first album "It Takes A Thief". Classic track, classic album. Coolio was a member of the groupThe Madd Circle back then so WC & The Madd Circle were all over that album. If you've never heard the track "Ghetto Cartoon" make sure u take a listen! Very nice track talking about what would happen if characters such as Bugs Bunney, Daffy Duck, Kermit The Frog, etc lived in the ghetto.....I still bump a Coolio cd every now and then....

I could have sworn "County Line" was the first single. He had a video for it and released the single for sale.

I saw him on a program over here in england called 'Graham Norton' or something, i was flicking thru the channels and saw coolio, was like wtf.. kept it on and he asked him to freestyle, so coolio sat there and tried, but fucked up big time, i was embarrased for him and switched off.   That was about 7 months ago.

Yeh tomorrow but its the 3rd, i think, thats about 20 mins from my house. Madisons is a shit club tho & i find it quite funny that an underground rapper is going to a club here.

I believe "County Line" was the B-Side to "Fantastic Voyage". That track was off the hook as well!
