Gangsta's Paradise - Vintage 1920's Al Capone Style Coolio Cover ft. Robyn Adele Anderson

[@smof1]

It's amazing just how perfectly the lyrics fit this style of music.

Never occurred to me, but doing a Gangsta’s Paradise cover in the style of Jazz popular during the prohibition era is such a perfect fit, and in retrospect, so obvious a decision. Well done, “fellas!” :D

Alright, someone needs to make a new movie, a damn good movie, that takes place somewhere in the 1920s-1940s with a soundtrack entirely made up of well-placed PostmodernJukebox songs. Yes, modern songs, I know it sounds wrong, but sung like this. I think the audience would appreciate it!

[@amartyaroy3754]

[@GameyRaccoon]

Not the correct use of irony.

[@oddtail_tiger]

Yeah, debates on what constitutes irony aside, how is "this seems very appropriate" even irony-adjacent? No hate, honestly, but I'm trying to process the thinking here. That's like eating a meal and going "this sauce goes really well with chicken. How ironic."

[@darthbiker2311]

I didn't. There was no irony to catch at all. Gangsta's Paradise, done in 1920s Big Band Jazz, is a near-perfect fit.

[@stephenolan5539]

​@oddtail_tiger Irony means the opposite of expected. You expect robbers to get robbed. It is ironic when they get robbed because it is the opposite.

[@gerrycrisostomo6571]

The 1920s was the time when Mafia gangsters like Al Capone, Salvatore Maranzano, Charles Luciano and many other Italian gangsters ruled America and were blasting each other with Thompson sub-machine guns. The lyrics of this song fit so amazingly to that era. If this song really existed way back then, those gangsters would've loved it.

[@mateuszmattias]

If you were to make some minor changes to the lyrics, like remove references to television etc, and switch some slang expressions to something more suitable to the era, then you would more or less have a song that could well have been written in 1924 or so.

Isaac Richardson he also had syphilis… But pretty much everyone did back then.

[@mondaysinsanity8193]

Ellisar Atranimus nope not at all, everyone knew he was a mafia don and he flaunted it readily yet no one could do anything because saying im a mobster in a bar or really anything like that let alone playing a song like this is not a confession and means nothing in court, especially if you can pay off tge judge and jury and intimidate those who refuse. Being a known mobster simply isnt a crime. Sure it could make the fbi watch him closer but that doesnt matter because everyone was already watching him

[@mondaysinsanity8193]

Ellisar Atranimus capone and most mobsters then loved openly flaunting their crimes as much as they could but never quite crossing the line to where the cops could actually do anything. Essentially if you were so rich and powerful you could tell a cop to clean your shoes and they would say yes sir of course youd flaunt that shit every second you could especially if your a power hungry mob boss who worked his whole damn life just to be able to do just that

+RamajX Hip hop giving credit to the thousands of songs they ripped the entire song, theme, rhythm, harmony, melody, lyrics from? Nah, doesn't happen. It's young artists being creative, didn't you know?

+RamajX im appalled that you think a rapper sampling a portion of a song and making a different song is the same as covering it

[@RamajX]

+BOSS MEDIA I don't. So you're wrong about that. Pay attention to what's being said instead of trying to smart off so quickly. Sampling uses a small portion of a song. A cover uses either the entire song or a majority of the original song's framework and themes. Gangstas Paradise uses the majority of Pastime Paradise's full musical framework, vocal arrangements, and only slightly amends the lyrics. Coolio's rap is the only brand new addition, and it fits so well with the themes of the original song that Stevie Wonder himself has performed the song with him. That's a cover. Biggie's One More Chance uses a portion of DeBarge's Stay with Me. That's a sample.

And that rare rap tune that you always liked, is just a cover of 'Pastime Paradise' by Stevie Wonder from 1976.

[@divermike8943]

@@hughtrevor-flopper3214 😲 You are right! I hope Stevie got some royalities from Coolio.

[@whitehat581]

Truly worthy of being considered a hood classic.

[@Abirkaur]

Jazz is one of the best genre that is just timeless and seamless damn

[@JohnSmithShields]

I wonder how Amish Paradise would sound in this style. Weird Al needs to know.

[@johncoe929]

I can't sing along to this without switching over to Weird Al's lyrics, lol

[@andrewbesso4257]

Nah. "Weird Al" would turn it into a polka.

[@fghsinging]

It should also be played by a band of Amish people, using fiddles and other non-electric instruments they have.

[@Scott_C]

There would definitely be more accordion in the song. :D

[@canttellyouyet8384]

He did do something similar before at his strings attached tour

[@Przemeker]

Next time: Amish Paradise - Vintage 1699 Religious Style Coolio Cover Weird Al Cover ft. Weird Al

[@peter_smyth]

Does it count as a cover if the original artist is still singing?

[@emperorspock3506]

Yeah, I want a 1640's rendition of that version!

[@capie44]

If PMJ is reading, get Al's permission cuz you will make him jealous!

[@scottmantooth8785]

i'd be willing to surmise that if contacted Weird Al himself would be very enthusiastic to consider a collaboration if actual period instruments were played...

[@JeepWranglerIslander]

@@emperorspock3506 So sung in Latin by a Catholic church choir?

[@wtfman81]

lol how the drummer looked like he was flipping them pancakes 0:30

It Don't get any more Christmasy than this. 💯Fuckin legends Love it❤ Peterborough UK 2024 💙

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

59 is a lot longer than 24, still way too soon. I wonder if the OG ever saw this and what he thought of it. I ALWAYS thought Robyn KILLED it. RIP Coolio.

[@Napa2323....7]

Was thinking the same thing when I heard he passed, hope he did hear it.

[@generalpublic3744]

Really enjoying PMJ's music. Fabulous female vocals.

[@enottelavivsky5435]

"al capone style" - its awesome

[@Ricardo-nc9hn]

I insist, this is pure gold. I dream with being the piano man at the bottom...

[@iamtheonecalledsteve8141]

Keep em coming.... These arrangements are FIRE🔥

[@moonknight8647]

[@Fartsmellahashsella]

[@ivanborsuk1110]

[@utubrGaming]

Im the kind of capo all the soldiers wanna be like

[@ethanwelk2736]

All this radio listening.

[@AshMukherjeeOfficial]

kondor whodis I know what you mean. But incidentally, homie is part of ‘polari’ which was a form of slang used in Britain and subsequently crossed the pond. It was used by some actors, circus and fairground showmen, professional wrestlers, the mob, merchant navy sailors, criminals, prostitutes, and the gay subculture. It was a mixture of Cockney rhyming slang, with Yiddish and other roots. So in a weird way, it still works I think...

[@chdmann]

Also "Gotta be down with the hood team" with "Gotta keep standing with the Family"

[@D.A.DreamArt]

Still my favourite! Can we can just bring the whole Roaring Twenties back? We all know this year opened with a roar.
