He kinda does, actually, but they weren’t allowed to without editing it back then. He says all my ni’s in the night sayin prayers in the streetlight. Sorry to burst your bubble 😂
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.
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....
@@eshnic 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.
I'm a white Jew born in the 80's and i grew up on old school rap like 2pac, Snoop, Coolio, Biggie etc. I can't believe the amount of first time reactions to masterpieces like this by young black dudes, it really makes me sad. I hope that the youth will bring old school rap back.
Haze, I'm a melanin deficient grandfather knocking near 70 and I sang this song at my daughters wedding. That's how mainstream this was. You need to look at the old school for some history.
Total respect to Coolio This one is a Hyms of Hip hop old school, everyone know this masterpiece from 90s 💯 and the Movie Dangerous Minds is a great movie
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".

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.

"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.
@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.
Growin up in the WestCoast and in the midst of most of loved ones getting caught slippin, This song always hits me in the chest. REST IN LOVE HOMIES YOU ARE MISSED...
Coolio was awesome enough that he got me to listen to rap. I am normally a heavy metal and punk rock fan but Coolio had an impact. His song fantastic voyage is awesome too.
"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.
The film is called 𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨 debuted 1995. 𝙂𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙨𝙩𝙖'𝙨 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙚 is the soundtrack to this astounding film. I was only 14 at the time. And my entire block be cruising down the street to either this track... or to 𝘽𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙏𝙝𝙪𝙜𝙨 𝙉 𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙮'𝙨 - 1𝙨𝙩. 𝙊𝙛 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝.
I remember that time well. I was only 15 and as soon as I hit 16 and got my license I was out cruising to Bone too lol I was a big fan of the Art of War duel album WWI and WWII.
@@mordavi best double disc album of all time 💯 even better than All Eyez On Me & Life After Death & that's saying a awful lot but literally every track is a banger on The Art Of War even the lesser songs u might not like as much on that album will still rub off on you when u play the album all the way through several times & the beat selection is all very unique to other albums but they're all tied together perfectly like they all have similar instruments to make that entire double album seem more like a movie score than just a album of just random songs!!!!! Masterpiece of Masterpieces!!!!! & It ages even better over time just like this song "Gangstas Paradise" does💯 this is probably the greatest most iconic rap song of all time even ppl who hate rap music love this song & know this song & it's got a billion views alone just on the official reuploaded version that was only reuploaded like 4 years ago so that's saying alot💯
Coolio...West Coast rapper...back in mid to late 1990s..this song and movie came out. It was the main song in the movie Dangerous Minds...about a troubled inter city school...and the teacher who had to find a way to reach the kids...who were mostly gangsters.
Coolio sampled the Stevie Wonder song Pastime Paradise for this song. Then Weird Al made a parody- and Coolio was pissed off because Al asked permission and Coolio said yes but then changed his mind. This was used in the movie Dangerous Minds.
Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise turned 25 last this year, and its place in music history is assured. It was believed to be the biggest-selling single of 1995 worldwide, and went to number 1 in at least 19 countries.5 Dec 2020
Coolio is also a Chef. I dont know if its ongoing or not but he had a webseries regarding his cooking. He also has a cookbook out called "Cookin with Coolio: 5 Star Meals at a 1 Star Price".
@@mikefisher4834 no weird al just contacted Coolios pr department or something abs they said sure Coolio had no idea and he was pissed weird al didn't ask him
I'm from Australia and I grew up listening to Coolio in high school and many other Rappers from the US who were popular in the 90's. You should check out Domino from Long Beach listen Long Beach Thang gfunk.
Fun fact I just learned: this song samples Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise. At first, Stevie didn't want his song sampled in a rap song because of the cursing. Coolio promised to write the song without any foul language. Goes to show that you can write a hard-edged, gangster song that gets your point across without any cursing.
I used to work for a computer software company. One day I had his album in at work and was playing it on my headphones when one of my colleagues walked by and thinking it was computer software, asked what “Cool I/O” was, I/O being short for input/output.
I'm 65 year old white guy and I know who Coolio is. I didn't like rap at all when this song came out but it's a masterpiece. To be honest, it is probably one of my favorite songs, The lyrics are crazy good.
Movie is Dangerous Minds and i can't believe u have never heard of Coolio. U should check his first song "Fantastic Voyage" he came out with b4 Gangstas Paradise.
Wow beautiful song l love it and it's was a good movie for real RIP 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹"Coolio " he was a good singer. From Edinburg Texas
I don't honestly know how one can say that he's been listening to rap/hip hop all your life, and never heard of Coolio and especially Gangster's Paradise... You haven't been born yet, most probably.
The song is from the movie Dangerous Minds. Listen to weird als version of this called Amish paradise. Rap and hip hop from the 80s was great no matter what color you were you liked it. From the mid 90s to today, it hasn’t been no where near as good.
Oh your watching something so from my teenage years in the 90s lol Iconic track. It’ll never die. “I’ve never heard of any Coolio.” Me: “🫤😳🤔The 90s me is judging you…I apologize.”
I am a 61 year old Aussie mum and was 34 when this song came out. I was never into rap, loved heavier rock music, but went out and bought this as soon as I heard it and still love it. Brilliant song!!
The name of the movie is "Dangerous Minds" And yes sir this entire songs bangs and it's put together perfect!!! You have Coolio with the vs, and then old buddy LV murdering the hook, and then comes the bang!!!! This shit is 🔥
coolio wrote this song based on his life living in East Side San Jose. The area is notoriously known for being the ghetto area of the city of San Jose in the bay area. I went to the same high school as him and can confirm that it is very ghetto. Part of the school dress code for was that no one was allowed to wear red (bloods) or blue (crips).
How on earth have you not heard of Coolio? Seriously... you say you've been listening to hip hop your whole life? Well, you've just been introduced to one of the godfathers. You gotta know your history if you want to fully appreciate modern artists. You need to listen to sooooo many artists... Anyway, this song was on the soundtrack for the movie _Dangerous Minds,_ which is why Michelle Pfeifer is in the video. Next by Coolio should definitely be _Fantastic Voyage._ Tribe Called Quest Slick Rick Grandmaster Flash Kurtis Blow Tupac Notorious B.I.G. Dr. Dre JJ Fab Salt N Pepa Queen Latifah Run DMC LL Cool J ... there's just far too many to list here...
Many RUclipsrs recently react to old songs. and that's how i found this channel. i found this song in 2005 first time. when i was playing NFS: MW on PS2 and friend played songs on pc. funny enough thanks to this song i won first time race against my friend who was fanatic of NFS games. i asked him about song so we went to check it on pc what it was and i was shocked that this song in 2005 had 10 freaking years. the movie is called "Dangerous Minds".
Also a pale senior citizen, these reaction videos and seeing kids discover classics give me life :) Now do Public Enemy- Fight the Power, and Kid Frost- La Raza, please.
"Dangerous Minds" was the movie. #1 soundtrack in the nation, #1 song of the nation. This song was massive. MASSIVE. Whatever you think massive is these days step it back 3 levels.
Coolio is also in the soundtrack of "Space jam" called "Hit them high (the monstar anthem) ft Busta Rhymes, Method Man, LL Cool J and B Real from Cypress Hill
This is the music I grew up on. This one was pivotal in the rap/hip-hop genre of the 90s. The movie (Dangerous Minds) is well worth seeing. The song was on the movie soundtrack. Coolio was and is one of my favorite artists ever.
Dude this song was the “despacito” of mid 90’s .. everyone on the planet knew it. Won grammy for it.
Despacito is trash LMAO
In the 90s, this man had not yet been born... For what
The only difference is that song is iconic
I remember when this song came out and I remember watching the movie
Despacito 🤣🤣🤣
I love when a rapper can make a song without curse words and he also didn't even use the N word...this is one of my all time favorite songs.
a lot of old school rap was like that. i love it so much more than the new stuff
Steve wonder cover..
yeah if you want a REAL example of that listen to some Eric B and Rakim, Coolio was made to clean his lyrics.
He kinda does, actually, but they weren’t allowed to without editing it back then. He says all my ni’s in the night sayin prayers in the streetlight. Sorry to burst your bubble 😂
@Cassie D. no, he doesn’t

i asked him about song so we went to check it on pc what it was and i was shocked that this song in 2005 had 10 freaking years.
the movie is called "Dangerous Minds".
The movie is Dangerous Minds!!!
I love this song and I still know every word!! This movie is really good too. Is this sampled from an old Stevie Wonder song? Anyone know?
Yep - is "pasttime paradise" ruclips.net/video/1TLFnokO1Oo/видео.html
Welcome to the hits of the 90's, we took this for granted. Everyone wanted to have a hit in the 90's.
Wowwwww number one rapper ❤❤❤ beautiful song
This was cool back in the 90s , but the original song is Past-time Paradise by Stevie Wonder . You've gotta listen to that .
Dangerous Minds is a film based on a true story. A former marine comes to an inner-city school and makes a real difference
Hell I'm 63 and even I know who Coolio is love his music and I'm not a rap fan at all.
This song was the theme song to a movie called "Dangerous Minds" with Michelle Pfeiffer.... Btw it's a great flick!
Who has never heard this song, who has never seen the movie has really lost 2 masterpieces!
Lv was one of my brothers favorite vocalists. After my brothers o.d I have been listening much moore to him.
Also a pale senior citizen, these reaction videos and seeing kids discover classics give me life :)
Now do Public Enemy- Fight the Power,
and Kid Frost- La Raza, please.
"Dangerous Minds" was the movie. #1 soundtrack in the nation, #1 song of the nation. This song was massive. MASSIVE. Whatever you think massive is these days step it back 3 levels.
Gangsta's paradise is one of "those" songs, I'm sure you all understand what i mean
I'll see you when you get there is another fantastic song of his, and Fantastic Voyage.
Dangerous Minds was a great movie and I had this CD blasting in my car till I wore it out 🤣🥰
Coolio is also in the soundtrack of "Space jam" called "Hit them high (the monstar anthem) ft Busta Rhymes, Method Man, LL Cool J and B Real from Cypress Hill
This song and Coolio ... EPIC
This brings me back to 5th and 6th grade in the mid 90’s
This is the music I grew up on. This one was pivotal in the rap/hip-hop genre of the 90s. The movie (Dangerous Minds) is well worth seeing. The song was on the movie soundtrack. Coolio was and is one of my favorite artists ever.
