FIRST TIME HEARING Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise feat. L.V. Official Music Video REACTION

[@ChilloutQ8]

Dude this song was the “despacito” of mid 90’s .. everyone on the planet knew it. Won grammy for it.

[@laplace2282]

Despacito is trash LMAO

[@MrSERVERUK]

In the 90s, this man had not yet been born... For what

[@tasm5127]

The only difference is that song is iconic

What do you mean you don't know who Coolio is?!? I'm a farmer from a very small town in Brazil and even I know who Coolio is!! I literally thought every american knew about Coolio.

By the way, your brazilian fans over here are eager for your reaction to *Shaman - Fairy Tale (live version)* It's amazing, you'll love it for sure.

[@sally-notsosilent]

I'm from the Netherlands and they played this on the radio all the time here. I notice many reactors are just too young to have heard all the old skool stuff. There is so much good music out there from the 70s 80s and 90s it is a lot to go through. The most shocked i ever was though was when somebody didn't know who Jimi Hendrix was..i was like come on now....

[@h3ll0gudbye]

@@sally-notsosilent I grew up in the 90s and I didn't know who Jimi Hendrix was until I was 23ish. I think it was because 1) my parents didn't like that kind of music, they were more into Tom Jones, ABBA, Neil Diamond, UB40 etc, and 2) people I hung out with at school all liked contemporary pop music. So I can see how this guy's never heard of coolio before.

In 1995, Coolio has won a Grammy & Billboard music awards for this song. This song came from his 2nd album(Gangsta's Paradise). He also got famous for his hairstyle. This song is sampled from Stevie Wonder's 1976 song called "Pastime Paradise".

[@movienizedde9241]

"Gangsta's Paradise" samples the chorus and instrumentation of Stevie Wonder's 1976 song "Pastime Paradise" The artists co-wrote the song with its producer Doug Rasheed, with Stevie Wonder receiving writing credits for the sampling of his song "Pastime Paradise" from his album Songs in the Key of Life. Due to the sampling of Stevie Wonder's music, "Gangsta's Paradise" is one of the few Coolio tracks that does not contain any profanity, as Wonder himself would not allow it. Coolio said, "I had a few vulgarities...and he wasn't with that. So I changed it. Once he heard it, he thought it was incredible." Released in 1995.

LV died many years ago, but only those of us that were loc'ed out and did bang in the late 80's and 90's and survived will understand why Coolio made this song when he did. We were in a time when brothers were dying over territory, apartments, colors, streets and merch. (drugs, girls, cars, clothes, guns...) We could be killed simply going to initiations, meets, or even 501's. And by our own crews, or, "friends of family". In my realm it was Krtel, Aces High, certain (unnamed) factions of crip, blood and folk. You lost friends, brothers and cousins daily in those dayz. Like I said though... many of us survived and went on. Be thankful for what you guys have and didn't have to accept and deal with, every time you walked out the door. Not knowing if you'd even see your own bed again. This was life. @/damulife @/krtl @/cr32

[@KhawChing]

"but only those of us that were loc'ed out and did bang in the late 80's and 90's and survived will understand". Nah, even if you weren't part of that set just living in it was enough to understand. Hell drivebys pretty much kicked off ever news broadcast. People getting lost and ending up shot because they drove down the wrong street. Chalk outlines on the sidewalks or in the streets. Sketchy times.

[@mikek0135]

@LARRY BOOKER I never lived through what it sounds like you did, but I saw it on TV, and read about it in the papers, every day. I always felt bad for the people that had to live in that stuff every day. My words probably sound pathetic, but, for what it’s worth, I’m glad you made it through those times. I hope things are good now.
