COOLIO - THE SAD STORY

[@RocketQueen71]

Thanks for making this video, House OF CULTURE! ! R.I.P. COOLIO ! I still from time to time groove to "GANGSTA'S PARADISE ". This song I sang a lot back in 1995 because I was a 24 yr. old junkie and Crackhead.. So, Coolio's lyrics,especially the 1st line resonated with me,"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left...." Addiction made me a slave and I lost everything!Including, my son (5 yrs old at the time) and my daughter (3 yrs old at the time). "Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away..." "I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24. The way things are goin' I don't know.." "If THEY can't understand, how can THEY reach me..." POWERFUL LYRICS! I THANK COOLIO FOR THIS GIFT!This song has a very sentimental value to me. I have been in recovery from Crack and heroin since 2004;alcohol since 2011. I SHOULD'VE BEEN DEAD YEEEARS AGO! GOD was definitely watching over me! Now,my mission is to help those strugglin' with addiction/ alcoholism. May Coolio have a FANTASTIC VOYAGE TO THE GANGSTA'S PARADISE IN HEAVEN. SHAKA ZULU! ✌😥

Amen, sister. You keep rocking. I can also relate and bless God everyday is what we need to do more with ppl and just know we're all here for each other ❤️

[@RocketQueen71]

@user-ik3ql5bk8g Thank you for your reply! I think alot of people in this world have lost their humanity, kindness, compassion, empathy and common sense when it comes to certain things. WE need to be the light to diminish the darkness in this world.

He always was down to earth. Genuine good guy so much underrated. God bless him and the family

R.I.P you in the real paradise

[@smimon4461]

Sick video! I feel like coolio kinda like did a "Nas", in the sense that their first breakthrough would be some of their best work, and they had to work really hard throughout the entirety of their career to ever try and top it

[@thehouseofculture3931]

Thank you very much Joyfull Lizard! I really like that comparison, and it’s very true. Sadly it happens to a lot of artists.

[@TheShop90sKids]

It doesnt seem like Coolio ever got much respect outside of his era. Whenever 90s rap is brought up, you never hear his name.

[@infinity.am1]

BRUH.... HAVE YOU LISTENED TO GANSTERS PARADIS

[@douglies5923]

Rip coolio

[@scarynumberone]

What’s sad about that? You can’t keep releasing a top track in conjunction with a box office smash movie - that kind of impact can’t be duplicated. Sounds like he kept being creative and stayed functional and true. That’s success in my book. Thanks for sharing though brother.

[@whooked]

Love dis do more underated artists like these

Thank you very much, and I will do. They deserve mote cred

my dad said he use to see him with his head phones on rapping by his self before he was famous

[@thehouseofculture3931]

I can definitely see that, he always had a big passion for hiphop. Thanks for sharing!

I have tromendous respect for you Coolio by Steve Irungu Jermaine

[@kubes8388]

dude has great vision, solid artistic talent and excellent work ethic for hipop but man did he tried too hard and put too much on himself to take on every evils in his life. indeed respect his true good character but the story is nevertheless a tragic life.

[@thehouseofculture3931]

Yeah you’re spot on, it’s sad but true

[@steveirungu3132]

If there's an inspiration song I ever listened to is Gangster,s Paradise by Steve Irungu Jermaine

[@steveirungu3132]

I grew up listening to the likes of Luniz Lost Boyz Tupac Shakur Christopher Latore George Wallace ie Biggie Smalls Dre Snoop Dogg Ice Cube etc by Steve Irungu Jermaine

Great rappers!

👊🏽❤️👑🙌🙌🙌

[@BREEZ05]

he died today.

[@scottstamler3367]

It's so obvious where he went wrong. He should have made an ENTIRE album produced by Doug Rasheed! that and had a couple of Timber remixes on the singles and that could've been Coolio's formula for the next 3 albums! He didn't do the obvious thing and his career dropped off the map

[@thanonamezofficialmusic8707]

That was LV song

[@Tovarasu.]

I understand a lit bit of the video, but you cat put Romanian translate please? Thx

[@wizardkelly3096]

Should do Nate Dogg

[@thehouseofculture3931]

Maybe in the future Kelly. Which are your favourites from the 90s?

[@MrTremelli]

RIP but that hair was always wack

[@marvinbennett8384]

DC & the mad circle ?

I never heard of him. He supposed to be the best rapper all time.

Just wondering who is Coolio. Still don't know him. Still not flattered.

1:51 DC? You mean WC

[@thehouseofculture3931]

Yeah, WC. Thanks for making it more clear

[@RahulSingh-ls1mo]

Koi mujhe bta skta hai ki coolio mra kaise tha?

[@henryblackburn2024]

I thought he was died. :!

[@subscribeforfreerobux727]

He did

[@patrxn7697]

Wait, he made gangstas paradise by just singing it not writing anything down

[@thehouseofculture3931]

The first line was freestyle, the rest he wrote down in one sitting. Sorry for the bad wording on my part.

[@thanonamezofficialmusic8707]

Not true lol
