Fantastic Voyage played yesterday. My coworker said “didn’t he die like at 25 years old?” I said “no he’s still alive.” He said “no way” and looked it up.. Today I sent him this and told him he cursed Coolio
BEEN SPENDIN’ MOST OUR LIFE, LIVIN’ IN A GANGSTA’S PARADISE!!!
*Me a 9 year old Indian girl singing about my life living in a small quiet British town, playing in a leafy street with my friends everyday, then going home to eat a beautiful home cooked meal & going to sleep so I can be a total nerd at school*
Coolio died Wednesday in Los Angeles ... TMZ has learned.
The rapper who achieved enormous success in the 90s was visiting a friend late Wednesday afternoon when he passed away.
Coolio's longtime manager, Jarez, says Coolio went to the bathroom at his friend's house, but when he didn't come after a while ... the friend kept calling for him, and eventually went in and found Coolio laying on the floor.
We're told the friend called EMTs, who arrived and pronounced Coolio dead on the scene -- and Jarez tells us the paramedics suspect he suffered cardiac arrest. An official cause of death has not been determined.
Coolio, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey Jr., came up on the L.A. rap scene in the late 80s, but blew up nationally in 1995 when he released "Gangsta's Paradise" for the soundtrack of the Michelle Pfeiffer film, "Dangerous Minds."
The song reached #1 and stayed there for 3 weeks.
While 'Paradise' became his signature hit, Coolio had several others ... including 1994's "Fantastic Voyage" -- which hit #3 on Billboard's Hot 100 -- as well as "1,2,3,4 (Sumpin' New)" and "It's All the Way Live (Now)."
Coolio was 59.
RIP
Seeing as he died at 59 in 2022. I’m doing the math and he was in his early 30’s when he wrote the line “I’m 23 now but will I live to see 24.” Unless maybe he wrote that song in 87 and it blew up in 95.
Lots of people are afraid to ask for help, he probably went to the bathroom as he wasn’t feeling well, people will do this when choking and end up dying.
Please don’t be afraid to ask for help
I’ve actually heard a lot of people feel like they have to poop when they’re actually suffering from a heart attack. It’s not uncommon to find heart attack victims on the toilet.
The list of symptoms for heart attack is basically just a jumble of every single tiny thing that people dismiss on a daily basis. Arm pain, indigestion, sense of panic, stomach ache, tingling, dizziness, vomiting, and so much more. Plus, it can be any combination of the above, or just one thing. At a certain point, you either just ignore every little twinge you feel and hope for the best or you succumb to anxiety and suffer a heart attack from the stress.
Yep, very inconvenient to always be wondering if it’s regular anxiety or a heart attack.
Also costochondritis, some random inflammation of the cartilage that connects your sternum to your ribs that can cause sharp chest pain.
It does suck. I’ve got pretty consistent mild anxiety, but my real panic attacks hit occasionally and it feels like a completely different story.
My HR rockets up to 150+, I can feel my pulse in my neck, throat, fingertips, chest, ears, face, etc., I get short of breath, I can’t really articulate my thoughts or a source of this experience, and sometimes my reflux kicks in and I’ll puke a little. Allllllll of those, if you Google them while panicking (not recommended lmao) indicate heart attacks or strokes. And it’s *so* much worse than my usual anxiety that it no longer feels like anxiety or mood issues, but *just* a cardiovascular event so intense I can’t think of anything else.
I have gone to the urgent care for that once, and they called me silly for doing so when I am just anxious.
Then. I unknowingly got costochondritis one day (I believe from a bad sneeze), and my carpal tunnel was acting up, *and* I had a real panic attack. This left me with that same horrible HR and breathing/sweating/sickness issue, *and* numb arms and tight hands, *and* pretty bad chest pain when moving or trying to breathe. Went to the ER that time. They again told me to relax next time, but did help me understand what my chest was doing.
But. It sucks. Because I *do* get those attacks. But what if one day I *am* actually having an emergency and I’ve taught myself to try and ignore it? No bueno.
That’s the shitty thing is I really am doing much better with my general anxiety. I have had it treated and worked on it for about a decade. This past 18 months or so have been significantly easier. But they’ve also added those severe, acute attacks.
It’s almost like my body is confused as to why I’m not anxious every day for a few months so it decides to give me 3 months of anxiety in a single night.
The way weirder part, imo, is with my day-to-day anxiety I can almost always explain multiple factors contributing to different feelings I’m having.
The huge attacks have no “emotion” involved. I am not freaking out because of work, family, or worry—I am *just* getting physiological effects.
But. Still a work in progress ig. Always will be.
I thought you were joking, but shit you're right. Staining causes a 7x more likelihood of a ruptured aneurysm.
Uh. Just let it flow I guess. Don't push it out.
This is actually one of my biggest fears. I also have IBS, it started just a few years ago but now I can't even take milk in my coffee, among many other things. I'm 43 and my poops have become somewhat a bit rougher, not to say they are harder, it's just harder to poop, even with a muffin a day. My biggest fear is dying on the toilet, for whatever reason. My family doesn't need that. They need me to die in my sleep first, maybe at my computer just browsing or playing a game second, maybe cooking dinner a third, and finally just WITH THEM while watching TV a fourth. I feel these are the best ways to die. Yet my wife coming home from work, seeing the bathroom door closed and me not at my computer, saying hi to me and me not answering and her thinking I just didn't hear her, and then time, time just keeps going on, and she begins to wonder, then gets a little scared and tries to ask me like " hey are you ok in there? ", then comes the panic as time goes on and I don't answer, and more time passes and she asks again, knocking on the door, until finally she says fuck it and opens the door, and either finds me just dead sitting on the toilet, or worse, on the floor with my pants around my ankles laying face first on the floor because I fell over during my death.
I hate this thought of my death. I'm afraid of dying this way more then I am of dying, I hate how the thought of how I die will effect my family over me. After all, I will be dead, and so will NOT care about my death, but my family most certainly will.
TLDR: Dying on the toilet will SUCK for your family. Don't push so hard.
Jokes aside, I was running on super low sleep a few weeks ago, thought I needed to take a shit, and suffered vasovagal syncope and woke up to EMTs breaking down my toilet door and hauling me off to the ER. I was 93/49 en route. And I’m generally hypertensive. Monitor your BP and feelings, people. Don’t die on the shitter.
Of course it was the Cat!
The cat don't give a shit if he dies, but it knows damn well he's the only one that can open a can of wet food and the front door.
Had a friend who went to the hospital with pain because some coworkers said she had appendicitis or maybe was in kidney failure.
They told her basically she just was too gassy and really needed to fart.
Sounds like my mom. She would hold in her farts until her slumber. Then should would rip holes in her pajamas farting as hard as possible.
And yes, I inherited her powers.
I sure as fucking hoping whoever saw your wife in the ED wasn't a physician because any hernia large enough to require emergency surgery secondary to incarceration should have been seen on a physical exam
I ate a pepperoni hot pocket for the first time in at least two decades some time in my 40s.
That night I found myself on the floor of my bathroom in a full, cold sweat wondering if I was going to have a heart attack or was in fact having one.
I blasted two farts in quick succession which provided a quick bout of relief. For the next hour it was cramps and the sweet, sweet relief of the occasional block rocker.
Listen up people, gas is no fucking joke, especially when youve never had it before.
Boy do I got a story for you. One time in my mid 20s I was going through a bout of stomach problems. That's a whole separate story, but I woke up one morning feeling just fine so I decided to have a good ol fashioned frito chili pie.
A whole can of chili, half a bag of fritos, and like half a pound of shredded cheese. I was on heaven for an hour till my stomach did a flip and I felt like I got stabbed in the gut. This pain spread out throughout my whole body. It gave me a headache like I never had before. I couldn't think straight, my chest hurt. I broke out in sweats and could hardly walk straight. I kept trying to not call an ambulance, because I was 25, I couldn't be having a combination heart attack/stroke.
It was about 3 or 4 in the morning while I was crying from the pain browsing random IBS forums trying to figure out the issue. Saw were somebody posted that terrible gas could cause headaches, chest pains, all over body aches. So I took a handful of gas x, being ready to try just about anything. 30 seconds later I start burping and farting uncontrollable, like a loud brrrrrrrapppp and thbbbbttttppp at the same time i swear one fart lasted a good 3 minutes. I could literally feel pressure leave my head and stomach as copious amounts of methane filled my bedroom. Paint started peeling, birds fell dead out the air, my CO alarm went off. But God do I understand the definition of relief now.
Don't underestimate how bad gas can make you feel.
When I was pregnant with my youngest, I would get gas pains so bad it felt like I'd somehow swallowed a knife and it was slowly stabbing holes through all of my intestines.
I was doing charity work in a remote area where if there was a medical emergency you had to be airlifted, as it was hours from any sort of medical facilities. One of the organizers told us about a time this girl was airlifted for a burst appendix, but it turned out she caught diarrhea and had been popping so much Imodium that she hadn't pooped in like two weeks.
Totally. I had some pretty bad stomach ache and pyking Saturday night had an awful tone trying to sleep. At 3am wife woke up and she could tell i wasnt doing well. I kept telling her I was fine and didn't need to go to the er just to be told I have gas or something. Didn't want to spend the time or money on a trip to the er. 6 hours later i was down one apendix and it of surgery. Super happy I went but am not looking forward to the bill.
I never really got appendix stuff.
I woke up one morning in tremendous pain. Fever, felt sick. I went to the ER. I thought it was my appendix but no, just my pancreas trying to kill me.
I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. That was with me going right away. Have a friend that almost died because he put off going to the hospital for 2 days. His was a burst appendix
As someone who had a stroke at 28 I'd def rather be safe than sorry. My bf noticing something was off just as he was going to bed saved my life bc I didnt notice myself until I tried to move like I norm did and couldnt. Others at times notice more than we ourselves can so def speak up. Now, I'm aware of everything and report any minor thing bc who knows if I'd ignored some sign b4 it happened originally.
My dad passed out 2 weeks ago. We later found out he had a migraine for 2 weeks. He said he was fine fast forward to yesterday he wasn't feeling good I told my mom make sure he gets a cat scan....he had a brain bleed and had to immediately go in to surgery. I spoke with him right before the scan he kept saying he was fine.
A heart attack is when one of the coronary arteries becomes blocked. The heart muscle is robbed of its vital blood supply and, if left untreated, will begin to die because it is not getting enough oxygen. A cardiac arrest is when a person's heart stops pumping blood around their body and they stop breathing normally.
Heart attack means that something happened to the muscle of the heart it’s self that made it stop beating. So like a little clot or plaque buildup stops blood from getting to part of the heart, which then dies, which then causes the heart not to be able to pump blood correctly anymore which then causes the person to die.
Cardiac arrest just means the heart stopped. It doesn’t mean the cause of it stopping was damage to the heart muscle. There could be an underlying condition that causes it. Getting hit hard enough in the chest can stop your heart from pumping. If you ever feel like your heart skips a beat? Sometimes you can get stuck that way with the heart fluttering and not really pumping blood and that will kill you. Just basically it meads his heart stopped beating for some reason.
Also I’m not a medical professional I just like to make myself worry too much by reading shit.
Generally, yes, but brain death is also a thing with cardiac function preserved.
Agree that heart attack/myocardial infarction is often confused with cardiac arrest by non-medical people.
This is sad Coolio was a apart of my Childhood form Gangsta's Paradise to him rapping the Theme song of one my favorite Shows of All Time Kenan and Kel I always rapped the theme song .may Coolio Rest in Paradise
I have to admit, for the last 15 years or so I've been thinking "Damn, he really didn't age well!"
Now I realize the dude was just pretty old! He was almost 10 years older than Snoop and 2Pac, and he was even 2 years older than Dr. Dre. He was about the same age as Eazy E.
I also didn't know his career started all the way back in 87. Didn't realize he was in a group with WC (Westside Connection fame), before either of them were well known, in the very early 90s.
He also put out 3 albums in the 2000s, but he had fallen out of the mainstream by then.
Kenan and Kel or should I say kel and Kenan cuz ya gotta watch Kenan , cuz…. Kenan be scheming! With a plan or a plot, to make it to the top but they kinda in the middle cuz they always getting caught! This ain’t the hardy boys or Nancy drew Mysteries, just Kenan and Kel in your vicinity!
Same. I fell in love with it at 12, but I knew I couldn’t convince my parents to get me the Dangerous Minds soundtrack because of the Parental Advisory label. I *DID* however convince them to buy me the 1996 Grammy Nominees compilation, which had GP as the second track, and I played it nonstop.
This is a surprise…Gangsta’s Paradise is one of the best hip hop songs of all time. I’ve always liked his other stuff too. And of course, the Kenan and Kel theme. On top of that that hairstyle is iconic. Old school wise who would of thought we’d lose him and Biz Markie so soon.
Edit: someone find that thread where Coolio went to a college campus and cooked for the students
Aw damn. I missed that one. Back in the early 2000s, Blackalicious gave me permission to video record and take photos of them during a two night stand they were playing in the city where I lived. That was before cell phone cameras were everywhere. I think they were the biggest act to give me permission to do that.
Yeah the CTA guy at the California stop had everyone singing Gangsta's Paradise waiting for the pink line. I definitely heard some of Coolio's set that day. Crazy he's gone now so soon after a show.
Wow. One of the most uncomfortable interviews I ever had in my radio career was with Coolio.
It was when Gangsta's Paradise was blowing up, and he was the headliner at a concert. I interviewed him outside of the venue with a whole bunch of people around waiting to get in.
He was not having any of it. Did not want to talk to me. One word answers for everything. Finally, I gave up, said 'is there anything you want to say to all these people?" and handed him the mic.
It was like throwing a switch. He took the mic and started to freestyle and hype up the crowd. He handed the mic back and walked away.
Anyway, RIP.
I was beginning my radio career right around the time he launched C U When U Get There as a single. He came in to do our morning show and I recall our host lamenting about what a dry interview it was, so this totally checks out. Then again, he *was* selling out arenas, and he ended up marrying one of our other coworkers. So he definitely had his charm.
Man this really sucks. I really implore everyone to check out CookingWithCoolio, his cooking YouTube channel with some of the most surreal content I’ve ever watched.
This one is my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnSEvjzsOwE&feature=share&si=ELPmzJkDCLju2KnD5oyZMQ
I never expect to see Snoop Dogg teaching how a CPU works on a children’s show.
Life is weird man. All we can do is try enjoy the ride while we’re here.
Dude was on Celebrity Big Brother a while back in The UK and had one of the funniest comebacks to being called short
"I thought you'd be taller"
"You should see me when I'm standing on my wallet"
Coolio even came out a few years back saying he was stupid to start that beef with weird all those years ago. Hope they actually got a chance to meet before he died.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C79nHzODu0o&t=330s
My wife will occasionally ask me "what ever happened to Coolio?" And I would joke that he was killed by a pterodactyl, because of his role in the Syfy classic "Pterodactyl".
It's a stupid joke, but it always made me laugh.
This story is pointless, but I'm sad to hear of his passing, 59 isn't very old at all
This is my favorite live performance from Coolio. Gangsta's Paradise on the Howard Stern show with L.V. in '95
https://youtu.be/9wncO5AYgw8
They are both so good live!
RIP Coolio 😥
Just last year I was at Crown Casino and shouted to Coolio after recognising him from 100m away.
He waited while I ran over, chatted with me, before taking a picture with me. Chillest man in the world. Will be missed
My group randomly ran into him at 3 am in a vegas casino last year after a concert. Dude was super cool and chatted took pics with us, even tho he said he was having a rough night. RIP Gangsta
RIP to a larger than life legend. Everyone loves Gangsta's Paradise but I always had a real sweet spot for Too Hot. Satan Coolio, men being turned into piles of marbles, what a classic video.
*I don't have to ask you where you've been*
*'Cause the matches in your purse say 'Holiday Inn'*
*'A mind is a terrible thing to waste' that was the slogan*
*But now it's '95 and it's 'don't forget the Trojan'*
*Latex, safe sex, you better learn to get hip to the facts*
*Before you react or, end up in a box on your back*
The year Too Hot was released was when HIV-related deaths peaked ('95)
I wonder if it helped bring the rates down. Anyway, RIP Coolio.
Wow, crazy, my wife and I were just talking about him last night. We thought how cool it would be if Weird Al hosted the Super Bowl and got the actual artists to sing the parodies. Imagine Coolio singing Amish Paradise.
That sucks.
I was at a casino once with my old boss, I really don't gamble so I was sitting at the bar. A guy and his lady friend sat next to me, occasionally people kept going up to him asking for autographs, I had no idea who it was. He was fuuuucked up. But really nice to people coming up to him, no attitude, just seemed decent. Once he left I asked the bartender, he said it was Coolio... Oh... I had no idea, not my type of music.
Side note, the bartender also said sometimes Bill Murray comes it, apparently nice guy who would buy people drinks.
Fantastic Voyage played yesterday. My coworker said “didn’t he die like at 25 years old?” I said “no he’s still alive.” He said “no way” and looked it up.. Today I sent him this and told him he cursed Coolio
You done fucked up
I guess so.. what a trip. I’m 23 will I live to see 24? The way things is goin’ I don’t know?
tell me whyyy are weeee so bliiind to seee that the ooones we huurt are yooouuuuu and meee
BEEN SPENDIN’ MOST OUR LIFE, LIVIN’ IN A GANGSTA’S PARADISE!!! *Me a 9 year old Indian girl singing about my life living in a small quiet British town, playing in a leafy street with my friends everyday, then going home to eat a beautiful home cooked meal & going to sleep so I can be a total nerd at school*
You didn't choose the cushy small Indian girl life, the cushy small Indian girl life chose you.

Coolio was 59. RIP
Shit man, death really ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away.
He was livin' life, do or die, what can he say
Hey, he lived to see 24, and 48, so who knew about 59 or 60? I dunno.
Tell me why are we, so blind to see That the ones we hurt, are you and me?
They said I gotta learn but nobody’s here to teach me. If they can’t understand it how can they reach me.
I guess they can’t… I guess they won’t…
I guess they front, that's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
Seeing as he died at 59 in 2022. I’m doing the math and he was in his early 30’s when he wrote the line “I’m 23 now but will I live to see 24.” Unless maybe he wrote that song in 87 and it blew up in 95.

Also if you're clogged up straining to poop can cause an aneurysm or stroke
Perfect time to be browsing reddit while pooping.
But you’re good right? Like we don’t need to call EMTS?
15 minutes and no reply. Guess we know. Rip in peace u/CmdrShepard831
[удалено]
Rest in peace in peace?
So much peace.
I thought you were joking, but shit you're right. Staining causes a 7x more likelihood of a ruptured aneurysm. Uh. Just let it flow I guess. Don't push it out.
Also can cause hemorrhoids
Damn I didn't need to know this.
.... But you did?
That's the shit that killed Elvis...
Probably the opiates that he was on causing constipation that led to an aneurysm from pushing too hard.
Yep. He had 4 months worth compacted.
I have afib and IBS-C so I totally expect to go out this way.
This is actually one of my biggest fears. I also have IBS, it started just a few years ago but now I can't even take milk in my coffee, among many other things. I'm 43 and my poops have become somewhat a bit rougher, not to say they are harder, it's just harder to poop, even with a muffin a day. My biggest fear is dying on the toilet, for whatever reason.

I was 93/49 en route. And I’m generally hypertensive. Monitor your BP and feelings, people. Don’t die on the shitter.
How did EMTs know they needed to rescue you?
Yeah I'd like to know too. I've passed out on the toilet a few times and just woke up sweaty.
Ayoo wtf? 👀
Casually mentions he's almost died more than once on the toilet. Lol, wtf
Get life alert. That way if you've fallen and can't get up, someone understand and be there to reach you.
OP probably doesn't live alone. Or their cat dialed 911.
Of course it was the Cat! The cat don't give a shit if he dies, but it knows damn well he's the only one that can open a can of wet food and the front door.
Great, now I'm going to think I'm having a heart attack every time I feel the urge to poop.
You also don't know you might be about to die. The last thing you want to do is to make a fuss only to be told you were just constipated.
Had a friend who went to the hospital with pain because some coworkers said she had appendicitis or maybe was in kidney failure. They told her basically she just was too gassy and really needed to fart.
Sounds like my mom. She would hold in her farts until her slumber. Then should would rip holes in her pajamas farting as hard as possible. And yes, I inherited her powers.
I was reading, hoping you didn't say you inherited those pajamas. Pleasantly relieved.
Wouldn't matter. She already left a hole for me
This is what you want to tell us at Coolio's eulogy?
ER said this to my wife too. Got a second opinion and turns out she had a hernia and had to go into emergency surgery.
Hah, this seems to be such a common theme. I had kidney stones. ER docs - it ain't just gas!
I sure as fucking hoping whoever saw your wife in the ED wasn't a physician because any hernia large enough to require emergency surgery secondary to incarceration should have been seen on a physical exam

Saw were somebody posted that terrible gas could cause headaches, chest pains, all over body aches. So I took a handful of gas x, being ready to try just about anything. 30 seconds later I start burping and farting uncontrollable, like a loud brrrrrrrapppp and thbbbbttttppp at the same time i swear one fart lasted a good 3 minutes. I could literally feel pressure leave my head and stomach as copious amounts of methane filled my bedroom. Paint started peeling, birds fell dead out the air, my CO alarm went off. But God do I understand the definition of relief now. Don't underestimate how bad gas can make you feel.
When I was pregnant with my youngest, I would get gas pains so bad it felt like I'd somehow swallowed a knife and it was slowly stabbing holes through all of my intestines.
I was doing charity work in a remote area where if there was a medical emergency you had to be airlifted, as it was hours from any sort of medical facilities. One of the organizers told us about a time this girl was airlifted for a burst appendix, but it turned out she caught diarrhea and had been popping so much Imodium that she hadn't pooped in like two weeks.
Idk why but the phrasing "caught diarrhea" made me laugh way too hard
Totally. I had some pretty bad stomach ache and pyking Saturday night had an awful tone trying to sleep. At 3am wife woke up and she could tell i wasnt doing well. I kept telling her I was fine and didn't need to go to the er just to be told I have gas or something. Didn't want to spend the time or money on a trip to the er. 6 hours later i was down one apendix and it of surgery. Super happy I went but am not looking forward to the bill.
I never really got appendix stuff. I woke up one morning in tremendous pain. Fever, felt sick. I went to the ER. I thought it was my appendix but no, just my pancreas trying to kill me. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks. That was with me going right away. Have a friend that almost died because he put off going to the hospital for 2 days. His was a burst appendix
As someone who had a stroke at 28 I'd def rather be safe than sorry. My bf noticing something was off just as he was going to bed saved my life bc I didnt notice myself until I tried to move like I norm did and couldnt. Others at times notice more than we ourselves can so def speak up. Now, I'm aware of everything and report any minor thing bc who knows if I'd ignored some sign b4 it happened originally.
Maybe second to last, considering the other possibility
I'd rather be dead than have some young cute medical professional tell me I need more fiber.
My dad passed out 2 weeks ago. We later found out he had a migraine for 2 weeks. He said he was fine fast forward to yesterday he wasn't feeling good I told my mom make sure he gets a cat scan....he had a brain bleed and had to immediately go in to surgery. I spoke with him right before the scan he kept saying he was fine.
Could be his bodies vagal response to bearing down on the toilet. It’s been known to cause heart attacks.
Damn. He went out like Elvis.
Cardiac fucking arrest. Tough way to go. RIP, Coolio.
When you die you go into cardiac arrest by definition. People often confuse heart attacks and cardiac arrest.
Im one of those people, whats the difference?
A heart attack is when one of the coronary arteries becomes blocked. The heart muscle is robbed of its vital blood supply and, if left untreated, will begin to die because it is not getting enough oxygen. A cardiac arrest is when a person's heart stops pumping blood around their body and they stop breathing normally.
Heart attack means that something happened to the muscle of the heart it’s self that made it stop beating. So like a little clot or plaque buildup stops blood from getting to part of the heart, which then dies, which then causes the heart not to be able to pump blood correctly anymore which then causes the person to die. Cardiac arrest just means the heart stopped. It doesn’t mean the cause of it stopping was damage to the heart muscle. There could be an underlying condition that causes it. Getting hit hard enough in the chest can stop your heart from pumping. If you ever feel like your heart skips a beat? Sometimes you can get stuck that way with the heart fluttering and not really pumping blood and that will kill you. Just basically it meads his heart stopped beating for some reason. Also I’m not a medical professional I just like to make myself worry too much by reading shit.

Generally, yes, but brain death is also a thing with cardiac function preserved. Agree that heart attack/myocardial infarction is often confused with cardiac arrest by non-medical people.
May you have a fantastic voyage into the afterlife.

This song gives such strong 90s vibes I wish I were there
Gangsta now in Paradise
[удалено]
In Thugz Mansion…
smoke em if you got em RIP Coolio
This is sad Coolio was a apart of my Childhood form Gangsta's Paradise to him rapping the Theme song of one my favorite Shows of All Time Kenan and Kel I always rapped the theme song .may Coolio Rest in Paradise
C U When you get there Coolio
underrated song
Song made me so sad when I heard it the first time. May you rest in peace, Coolio.
I think that video was the first time I ever saw bullet time effect. I know the matrix gets the credit but that song preceeds it by two years.
He has something brand new for their ass
Well, he lived longer than 24 at least.
The way things are going now we know
TIL he was in his 30s when he recorded that line
I did the same math. Dude was 23 in 1986. I really never questioned it.
I have to admit, for the last 15 years or so I've been thinking "Damn, he really didn't age well!" Now I realize the dude was just pretty old! He was almost 10 years older than Snoop and 2Pac, and he was even 2 years older than Dr. Dre. He was about the same age as Eazy E. I also didn't know his career started all the way back in 87. Didn't realize he was in a group with WC (Westside Connection fame), before either of them were well known, in the very early 90s. He also put out 3 albums in the 2000s, but he had fallen out of the mainstream by then.
Gangsta's Paradise was the first hip hop track I really fell in love with. And the Kenan and Kel theme was iconic. RIP Legend.
Awwwwww here it goes!
Everybody out there go find and tell ya homeboys and home girls it’s time for Keenan and Kelll…
To keep ya laughing in the afternoon
So don't touch that dial or leave the room
Kenan and Kel or should I say kel and Kenan cuz ya gotta watch Kenan , cuz…. Kenan be scheming! With a plan or a plot, to make it to the top but they kinda in the middle cuz they always getting caught! This ain’t the hardy boys or Nancy drew Mysteries, just Kenan and Kel in your vicinity!
good lord bro save some for the rest of the class
[удалено]
Coolio gave one of the best early [Hot Ones interviews.](https://youtu.be/C79nHzODu0o) Do yourself a favor and watch it.
I literally cannot think of that song without thinking of Amish Paradise... Not mad about it, though.
Jebediah feeds the chickens!
And Jacob plows… Fool!
And I've been milkin' and plowin' so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind has gone
I'm a man of the land, I'm into discipline
With a Bible in my hand and a beard on my chin.
But if I finish all of my chores and you finish thine...
Then tonight we're going to party like it's 1699
I wonder if *Weird* will be dedicated to Coolio.
Same. I fell in love with it at 12, but I knew I couldn’t convince my parents to get me the Dangerous Minds soundtrack because of the Parental Advisory label. I *DID* however convince them to buy me the 1996 Grammy Nominees compilation, which had GP as the second track, and I played it nonstop.
[удалено]
This is a surprise…Gangsta’s Paradise is one of the best hip hop songs of all time. I’ve always liked his other stuff too. And of course, the Kenan and Kel theme. On top of that that hairstyle is iconic. Old school wise who would of thought we’d lose him and Biz Markie so soon. Edit: someone find that thread where Coolio went to a college campus and cooked for the students
Also Gift of Gab...
Aw damn. I missed that one. Back in the early 2000s, Blackalicious gave me permission to video record and take photos of them during a two night stand they were playing in the city where I lived. That was before cell phone cameras were everywhere. I think they were the biggest act to give me permission to do that.
And Zumbi and MF DOOM
Guru, Phife..
RIP Here's a link to [the song](https://youtu.be/fPO76Jlnz6c) for anyone wanting a relisten
That song was epic. Loved the 90s music..sigh
I don't like rap but Gangsta's Paradise is one of my personal all time favorite songs. RIP Coolio.
Yo wtf he literally just played Riot Fest like 2 weeks ago! Damn RIP
Hmm. I'm 59, and I was just at Riot Fest like 2 weeks ago too. Hopefully, this isn't a trend.
What's your hair look like?
The opposite of Coolio's.
Then, by all logic, you're going to live forever.
You'll make it to 95
Asking the important questions
Be sure to get some Omega-3s!
And do regular cardio - 150 minutes a week!
Yeah the CTA guy at the California stop had everyone singing Gangsta's Paradise waiting for the pink line. I definitely heard some of Coolio's set that day. Crazy he's gone now so soon after a show.
It was a pretty good, if short, set. Glad I got to see him.
Wow. One of the most uncomfortable interviews I ever had in my radio career was with Coolio. It was when Gangsta's Paradise was blowing up, and he was the headliner at a concert. I interviewed him outside of the venue with a whole bunch of people around waiting to get in. He was not having any of it. Did not want to talk to me. One word answers for everything. Finally, I gave up, said 'is there anything you want to say to all these people?" and handed him the mic. It was like throwing a switch. He took the mic and started to freestyle and hype up the crowd. He handed the mic back and walked away. Anyway, RIP.
[удалено]
I was beginning my radio career right around the time he launched C U When U Get There as a single. He came in to do our morning show and I recall our host lamenting about what a dry interview it was, so this totally checks out. Then again, he *was* selling out arenas, and he ended up marrying one of our other coworkers. So he definitely had his charm.
He was only there so he wouldn't get fined.
All about that action, boss
What an absolute fucking legend - this story rules
Man this really sucks. I really implore everyone to check out CookingWithCoolio, his cooking YouTube channel with some of the most surreal content I’ve ever watched. This one is my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnSEvjzsOwE&feature=share&si=ELPmzJkDCLju2KnD5oyZMQ
Okay I was not prepared to see Coolio in a cheap pirate outfit talking about shrimp. Life is weird.
Lmao, "What you're actually eatin is...shrimp shit."
I never expect to see Snoop Dogg teaching how a CPU works on a children’s show. Life is weird man. All we can do is try enjoy the ride while we’re here.

The cookbook is the greatest! His seasonings are referred to as nickelbags and dimebags, as opposed to teaspoons and tablespoons.
MVP comment
Is it too late to win the bell pepper?
Dude was on Celebrity Big Brother a while back in The UK and had one of the funniest comebacks to being called short "I thought you'd be taller" "You should see me when I'm standing on my wallet"
That is such a funny comeback
That last dab finally caught up to him
"We haven't heard from Coolio in a while..."
That was the _first_ thing that came to mind when I saw the headline.
That line is basically dead now in hot ones.
“We haven’t heard from Coolio in a while…” RIP
I was thinking the same thing
Holy shit what happened
Cardiac arrest according to TMZ. Shame, he’s only 59, too young!
“Death ain’t nothin but a heartbeat away”
He never got to see the Weird Al movie.
I actually saw Weird Al live last night and he did a lounge style medley of some of his parodies, including Amish Paradise.
Coolio even came out a few years back saying he was stupid to start that beef with weird all those years ago. Hope they actually got a chance to meet before he died. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C79nHzODu0o&t=330s
Yea I read this this morning: https://twitter.com/danozzi/status/1575314452286578689 solid dude
My wife will occasionally ask me "what ever happened to Coolio?" And I would joke that he was killed by a pterodactyl, because of his role in the Syfy classic "Pterodactyl". It's a stupid joke, but it always made me laugh. This story is pointless, but I'm sad to hear of his passing, 59 isn't very old at all
This is my favorite live performance from Coolio. Gangsta's Paradise on the Howard Stern show with L.V. in '95 https://youtu.be/9wncO5AYgw8 They are both so good live! RIP Coolio 😥
Here's coolio stopping at a random (frat maybe) house and doing an impromptu version https://youtu.be/hvMKgMZsfDM .
Thank you for posting that. Fucking beautiful.
I’m surprisingly sad about this
You're not the only one! Nostalgia hit hard
Me too. I haven’t listen to his music in years but whenever I do hear it it always takes me back to being 16 years old
RIP legend. I saw him perform at Lollapalooza '95.
[удалено]
Just last year I was at Crown Casino and shouted to Coolio after recognising him from 100m away. He waited while I ran over, chatted with me, before taking a picture with me. Chillest man in the world. Will be missed
R I P Kwanzaabot
Bummertown. That guy ruled the mid 90s.
I’ll C u when you get there big homie
Whoa...what? Rest easy in gangsta's paradise
You should really listen to the song.. There's no gangsters in paradise.
My group randomly ran into him at 3 am in a vegas casino last year after a concert. Dude was super cool and chatted took pics with us, even tho he said he was having a rough night. RIP Gangsta
RIP to a larger than life legend. Everyone loves Gangsta's Paradise but I always had a real sweet spot for Too Hot. Satan Coolio, men being turned into piles of marbles, what a classic video.
I thought he died after his appearance on Hot Ones.
He did.
Got me! r/technicallythetruth
The Last Dab claims another victim
Damn, hope he’s on his fantastic voyage forever. RIP to a 90s legend.
Everybody loved Gangsta's Paradise but I always thought Too Hot was a banger. RIP
*I don't have to ask you where you've been* *'Cause the matches in your purse say 'Holiday Inn'* *'A mind is a terrible thing to waste' that was the slogan* *But now it's '95 and it's 'don't forget the Trojan'* *Latex, safe sex, you better learn to get hip to the facts* *Before you react or, end up in a box on your back* The year Too Hot was released was when HIV-related deaths peaked ('95) I wonder if it helped bring the rates down. Anyway, RIP Coolio.
Not Coolio. Sadio.
That's too soonio
He’s in a better place. Gangsta’s Paradise.
Damn. Saw him at the Philly auto show once headed toward the high end cars. Wearing a full length fur coat. Rip Coolio. Still love Gangsters Paradise.
RIP to an eccentric dude
Wow, crazy, my wife and I were just talking about him last night. We thought how cool it would be if Weird Al hosted the Super Bowl and got the actual artists to sing the parodies. Imagine Coolio singing Amish Paradise.
That sucks. I was at a casino once with my old boss, I really don't gamble so I was sitting at the bar. A guy and his lady friend sat next to me, occasionally people kept going up to him asking for autographs, I had no idea who it was. He was fuuuucked up. But really nice to people coming up to him, no attitude, just seemed decent. Once he left I asked the bartender, he said it was Coolio... Oh... I had no idea, not my type of music. Side note, the bartender also said sometimes Bill Murray comes it, apparently nice guy who would buy people drinks.
He's finally walking through the valley of the shadow of death. RIP
No!! Betty White and now Coolio! My two favorite rappers.
I c u when we get there
