RIP Coolio

Off on that final fantastic voyage.

I guess he’s walking through the valley of the shadow of death.

This one hurts. There is a couple on Instagram who own a brewery, and they always do funny videos with Gangsta’s Paradise as the track. Apparently it’s some meme that I missed out on? He was even in one of them a few months ago. RIP.

I believe that’s the Blonde Brewer. And they are hilarious.

Sumpin New remains a jam

Yep, Blonde Brewer. Never a dull reel.

If I was in a death pool I would’ve had 50 going before Coolio.

Gangsta's Paradise was basically the summer song of 1995.

And Alanis Morrissette’s “You Oughta Know.” I learned way too much about Dave Coulier’s oral sex habits.

In tribute, I made myself watch the actual music video on YouTube instead of Weird Al.

That said, I had "Amish Paradise" stuck in my head several times earlier this week and now I wonder if God was sending a message for me to warn Coolio and I failed.

That's a damned shame.

"Amish Paradise" came to my mind, too, and reminded me of the beef between Coolio and Weird Al. Fortunately, it appears they managed to reconcile, further to oop's point.

He lived to see 24 ... and 35 mo'.

Coolio lived one block from the school my daughter attended in Westchester. All of his arrests were during non-school hours.

So Chris Rock was right, ODB didn't commit all those crimes.

 

[The Big Ragu]

The thing that always amazed me most, is that one tune made its way from Stevie Wonder to Coolio to Weird Al. That is quite a chain of custody.
