That’s a bit weird, ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’ popped into my head for the first time in years yesterday !
Only 59 too !
RIP Coolio.

Sad to hear. Employed him back in the day for a gig alongside Phatts and Small when people were going mad for gangsters paradise and the like.
He knew it was a money maker which would see him right for the rest of his life and did ok off the royalties but he was just lucky as fuck at the end of the day.
It’s mad how much you can earn and lose in such a short space of time.
Btw he tried to shag my then girlfriend. Used to be my claim to fame. Think she would have tbh...

We’ve just left LA in the last hour.. Not a fan of his material but it’s sad to hear about the death of somebody close to me in age..

I’m gonna guess that the life he lead has speeded up his demise so unless you’ve been getting off your head for the last 15years you should be ok.

Loved him in Big Brother. Was a travesty that Terry Christian pipped him for the runners up spot.

R.I.P.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Strange how all these people that are associated with gangsters, or indeed gangstas, seem to die young

It’s a travesty that Terry Christian is making a living anywhere in the tv and radio world

Not a clue if he did coke or not but that drug is catching up with the generations that used it. Causing heart problems and contributing to strokes, it’s a warning, nearly always sad to hear of someone’s demise, 59 is way too early these days. RIP.

Does anyone else remember the time he met some students at a gig, went back to their house, cooked them a 3 course meal and then had a little acoustic gig at their house?
