Everyone can instantly singalong 😊 RIP Coolio. He was a true talent.

[@DevonRucker]

This original song (pastime Paradise) was one of the best songs ever and Stevie wonder let Coolio make this as long as he promised not to curse in the song. Also Stevie wonder owns like 60 percent of the copyrights for this song. If you react to another song please do pastime Paradise. Amish Paradise is fun and I'm sure younger people don't know as much but I'm surprised Chris didn't bring up stevie wonder since he is a music guy.

[@hoos3014]

Pastime Paradise is one of the greatest jams of all time.

[@ScarlettM]

"There are NO victims in this class room!" - amazing scene and something that should be shown in US schools today.

[@danielscott5673]

0:00-4:05- the 1995 film 'Dangerous Minds' with Michelle Pfeiffer. the music video directed by Antoine Fuqua, of Training Day fame. R.I.P., Coolio. "Gangsta's Paradise", "Fantastic Voyage", "1234 (Sumpin' New)", and "Stomp". i also listen to both Weird Al's "Amish Paradise" and Like a Storm's cover.

[@Moonlightgraeme]

Weird Al’s Amish Paradise is hilarious 😂 “I churn butter once or twice living in a Amish paradise”

[@randycooper3428]

Chris I believe you're talking about Fantastic Voyage. It was his 1st hit.

[@dimitriosgliarmis7622]

Also, weird Al’s “people” said coolio gave his permission. When weird Al won an award for it (I think grammy) for it he apologized on stage.

[@curtisbme]

And Coolio apologized later for being an idiot about it.

[@JP47471]

Fantastic Voyage is a great song and 1,2,3,4 (Sumpin' New) is a cool song as well.

[@iamthereply]

I think the other big hit was Fantastic Voyage

[@VADallasCowboysFan]

The fact they got Michelle to be in the video at that time was unheard-of. Usually it would have just been movie clips alone

[@tristanMWC]

First song that came to my mind when I heard he past was See U When You Get There. Plus the music video from the Nothin To Lose soundtrack.

[@xerozeven]

Just to be clear for a little clarity, LA and Socal rappers in general have a different style of their own, different than Bay area rappers like E-40, generally speaking. For reference, SoCal and NorCal could be considered similar to having two close states, but go about things a lil different, sorta like NYC and Boston or Philly. Close proximity but totally different styles...hell Boston and Philly are closer to NYC than the Bay is to LA.

[@musicf3b]

I think Mikey and Spidey are switched. For a moment my brain was like “ wow, he looks so different with short hair” lol

[@michellehawk282]

Fun fact: the reason Coolio doesn't cuss once in this song is because the song is sampled from Stevie Wonders song and he only gave Coolio permission to sample it if it includes no profanity.

[@Tze52]

Did y'all listen to ICHIZU from JJK0? It's a BANGER

[@kayearcher8407]

Fantastic Voyage was the other song you were thinking of.

[@HeShoeTooBig]

Primm's Hood Cinema is hilarious. He says funny things. He a All Star.

[@infinite-sadness]

He a Black all star

[@Meanwhile-]

There is a shit awful movie called Dracula 3000, that you can find in full here on youtube, that for some reason has Coolio in it. Also the main guy from Starship Troopers.

[@dwnkaomwn3953]

Coolio was also on a B movie film called Pterodactyl and I believe he was on Fear Factor as a participant.

[@corvenzo221]

Who's the 2nd guy from the left? I've never seen him in a Normies vid before

[@nickstanton6021]

I've seen him mainly on their dbz vids

[@corvenzo221]

@@nickstanton6021 Ah ok I havent watched those

[@drakedarkstar5422]

Eartha Kitt wasn't original Cartwoman She came in after Julie Newmar and Lee Meriwether

[@AregPone]

Julie Newmar... 😍🥰🤤

[@stuartsibbald7394]

They didn't have a "music aspect" for the video, the track was already part of a movie. Also, why did you compress the video in to a ratio that was impossible to watch. Would it be that you are all so egotistical that you prefer the clear imagine to be on you instead of the incredible video in front of you. Actually, that is a stupid question, we know it has always been about you, and nothing about what you are reacting to.

[@jinxie712]

The line “even my momma thinks that my mind is gone” flows so well that it’s impossible to not say it.

[@ProQuo360]

That opening. Took me back to 6 year old me getting hyped for Cartoon Cartoon Fridays. ❤

[@S.A.Jones.]

FANTASTIC VOYAGE

[@Ghost8386]

I was 11 years old when this song came out. "Gangsta's Paradise" is a single by American rapper Coolio. Interpolating Stevie Wonder's 1976 song "Pastime Paradise" and featuring American singer L.V., the single was released on August 1, 1995. RIP Coolio.

[@jaredschuster3010]

While this song is definitely the deeper more meaningful.... Fantastic Voyage is how I remember Coolio. Come along and ride

[@randycooper3428]

Same.

[@pandj76]

Fantastic Voyage was the other hit, guys. Great song and classic 90s video.

[@pennyg5979]

An amazing sample from “Pastime Paradise” by Stevie Wonder, one of his best songs.

[@theinsightfulvisionary0197]

Yes, it is!!!

[@wonderboyjohnny]

1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New) was a big hit also!

[@bigman4407]

Oh shit Coolio died?! Omg Rip! Yeah gangsta paradise was lit! "Tell me why are we so blind to see the ones we hurt are you and me" real truth there. Real lyrics. I'd like to think this song brought ppl a little bit closer & gave us understanding & empathy towards ppl plight.

[@theshowstopper979]

Lol dang where you been

[@Perfectionist480]

You live under a rock eh?

[@jaraefields1]

Y'all should check out this song called "The Points". it has Biggie, Coolio, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Busta Rhymes, Redman. It's definitely worth it

[@unclelink]

I'm old enough to remember to the Dangerous Minds tv show. Only lasted one season but it left an impression on me that I carry with me today. Coolio appeared in the first episode as the sex ed teacher. "When You Get There," is the other hit from Coolio. Thanks, man! ✊

[@Therealmoseslupai]

Such a classic banger and what a good reaction. The look 👀 Navi’s face 😅🥹🤣

[@46.56.A.]

You guys finally reacting to a good song. The other song you guys were thinking of was probably "C U When U Get There".

[@jonhson2099]

Other song is Fantastic Voyage!

[@DevonRucker]

How is Noone in the comments talking about Stevie Wonder??

[@telldetruth9259]

Great song. Idk if it’s possible but y’all reacting to the Monstars song from the original Space Jam soundtrack

[@mikechicago6200]

Coolio may you rest in cool peace and guys he will return in Futurama as Kwanzaabot

[@hanaj]

The cookbook section has me rolling 😂😂😂😂

[@katy8605]

OMG! I forgot I have that coolio cookbook! One of my friends gave it to me as a present a long long time ago! But back then I didn't cook and now I do. Man, I gotta dig it out of my garage or wherever it is

[@Tze52]

OH, CAN SOMEONE RECOMMEND YOASOBI TO THEM!!!! I know it's japanese, but if they could listen to Japanese and her official English cover of Into the Night, my life would be comple

[@LanceJ.]

Yall need to react to Beavis and Butthead watching this video 😂

[@shainewhite2781]

RIP, Coolio. 1963-2022.

[@jasonsanders4038]

[@cozmo4913]

[@mikechicago6200]

He was also in Gravity Falls and Daredevil the extended cut

[@marvelgeek9867]

Cinnamon babe a model and a rock singer posted on her story that coolio responded to her love ur music and she said thank u a huge fan and he said we should collab one day and she was like yea i would love it and it was a couple days or weeks ago rip to coolio and I feel bad for cinnamon babe but yea great artist

[@chickenblunt]

Navi is so damn fine 🥵

[@kayearcher8407]

Cookin' with Coolio is on KZbin...you can cook with him. He has women just standing around, then awkwardly dancing when he does, it's brilliant. For real, go watch it.

[@jupiterzulu3164]

In my predominantly white elementary school in the mid nineties, my music teacher taught us this song on the recorder for a school concert. So this song has been stuck in my head for almost thirty years.

[@onepunchmantolkienfan5383]

Now do Amish Paradise, please!

[@andy1181-l3m]

Wierd Al was wrong for parodying this song….it really is such a powerful and meaningful song if you understand the message

[@Shelma32Reactions]

I remember when this came out. Even my mum had the soundtrack to the movie and loves this song.

[@ZYaKnoe249]

People forget how big Coolio was from 94-99. Dude legit crossed over to a degree into the pop lane

[@Whereisbigpapa]

Y’all gotta react to Drake & 21 Savage Jimmy cooks music video it’s trending #19 rn!!!!

[@dragoninthewest1]

You guys need to watch the live version he did with Stevie Wonder and a gospel choir at the music awards show. It's epic.

[@rayquaza52]

Really blessed that I had the chance to see him perform at Riot Fest 10 days before he passed. R.I.P Coolio

[@tafadzwamanzini5463]

if you are gonna start reacting with music . try pete and bas ft the snooker club. of British grime

[@hamidvisuals]

I love this song so much and even as a Metalhead it really gets to me emotionally. RIP Coolio

[@justindebruce5561]

[@theshowstopper979]

RIP coolio, the legend of the 90s

[@JokingGoof]

Yall gotta react to the Daredevil Coolio Cut

[@NightwingTV]

This is classic and Michelle Pheifer tho

[@klb9142]

The movie is based on a true story.

[@Tennisman81]

i need more of this group of normies

[@CaesiusX]

The premise to *Dangerous Minds* is addressed in a great *Bill Burr* bit, _"Movie Racial Stereotypes."_ Though I suppose this may be due to his death. Kinda cool they're reacting to a classic video.¹ 😎👍 Shout out to _Primm's Hood Cinema._ *Edit:* In addition to _Spidey_ and _Mikey_ having their names switched in error at the start, there was distortion to the video image. Was that distortion done on purpose? I'm thinking maybe not, as it is oddly intermittent and random. It's not there at the very start, then __ immediate distortion. Then it ends at 7:47, but returns __ just as the video ends. 🤷🏼‍♂️ ··●✺●·· ¹ ─ Even if they are singing/rapping along with it. 😋

[@Vino_Czar]

Yo y’all had me dying reviewing that Cook book!!!! 📕 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #RestInParadise Coolio 🙏🏽🤲🏽🕊

[@mike2928]

1:17 Fantastic Voyage!

[@btomancny]

Fantastic voyage

[@mrredwhite1244]

Great reaction 🔥👍

[@nickstanton6021]

More like 1995

[@SleepyChloeFist]

What are the actual odds that we played this song at work today, which never happens, and then you guys ALSO happened to upload THIS song of all songs, also, today?? Statistically, this has to have happened to somebody else 🤔🤔 anybody? Lol

[@mikelcatalan4421]

I remember that, for the longest time, i knew this song existed but i never listened it, the biggest exposure i had to it was with the first sonic trailer which, lets be real, the song wasn´t the thing i was paying attention to in that trailer (also, i´m not from the US so maybe that's why i wasn´t that exposed to the song); until one day i ended up listening to Weird Al's parody and decided to listen to the original and really liked it.........and 2 days later i heard the news about Coolio´s death. It really sucked that i only got into something when it was practically too late. The cooking book caught me completly off guard. That man was a legend.

[@rockettt2450]

Plz react to jay jay "shivshankar" song from movie war. HRITHIK+TIGER 🐯

[@bensenzo]

Please react to werewolf by night guys🙏

[@itbechelsea]

This is one of my mom’s favorite songs. It’s IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to NOT sing along. It’s truly LEGENDARY. RIP Coolio 💔

[@claud1198]

The thing is I didn’t know about this song until a friend from Mexico played it when I was 10

[@karimbaash8465]

This is by far the best reaction ever. I am so getting this book. I saw that target sells it. I'm so going there and take all copies 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@froggysisplays8583]

I remember watching this video in school and we had to analyse the lyrics as part of our work.

[@VyRe40]

Check out "Lone Digger" by Caravan Palace!

[@christophercalderon7229]

Damn editor really mixed up Mikey and Spidey 😂

[@coffeeninja2852]

He had that song on the Space Jam soundtrack too

[@erikchristopherkc]

1,2,3,4 Fantastic Voyage

[@FantaStrawberry116]

You gotta react to the one where there with Howard stern

[@kc87557]

This is an amazinggggg collab

[@CaesiusX]

_Collab?_ All four of them are from the Normies (even if Mikey¹ is on the couch less frequently). ··•●✺●•·· ¹ ─ In the middle with Navi. I mention that because _Spidey_ and _Mikey_ had their names switched in error at the start.

[@GabbyRN545]

Classic ❤️

[@GhostofRhurValley]

RIP

[@k1llshot1gaming]

Fantastic Voyage is the other hit he had. Gangstas Paradise was on the soundtrack to the movie Dangerous Minds.

[@isithplays]

I've been listening to this song for years without realizing that he's my cousin
