For all those that care , tomorrow December 15th is Christopher's birthday. He will be 51. I talked to him on the phone this evening and he sounded like he was in good spirits.
Well wishes too the OG gangsta.
Tell that nigga I love him BigMike from Detroit
@@getyaplaycloths Why don't you tell him that yourself ? I've been writing him and putting money on his books and taking his phone calls since 07. I found his address to write to him and I'm all the way out in S.taying D.edicated , Cali . Where there's a WILL , there's a WAY. Don't talk about it be about it ! WORD !!!! Everybody be out here saying free so and so or talking about their close homie being locked down on their social media accounts but then they don't pick up a pen and paper and actually write to their homie. I've heard cats make excuses saying I'm not a writer. Well if that's the case send them some pics or articles to read. Take their calls or put some money on their books every so often. A lot of these cats behind the walls don't be F _ _KIN' with SOCIAL MEDIA HEAVY like that. So when people on the outs be on social media saying they miss their homie or loved ones that are behind those bars often times their loved ones and homies never get to hear or read those messages. All these people are FRONTIN' N' FAKIN' ! If these people mean so much to them they need to stop being so F_ _KIN' lazy and do it OLDSCHOOL/THE TRUE SCHOOL and drop an actual ENVELOPE with a letter or pics or articles enclosed in it into a mailbox every so often.
@@ktoescos where you found the address?
Meek need to be tryna get him free…
AND I CAN VOUCH FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID BY THE YOU TUBE USER THAT UPLOADED THIS VIDEO . I"M A FRIEND OF CHRISTOPHER"S AND THE RONEY FAMILY AND I RECEIVED HIS CALL FROM PRISON AND HANDED THE PHONE TO MR. LIL GANGSTA ERN TO DISCUSS THE MATTER OF UPLOADING THIS VIDEO SINCE I"M OLDSCHOOL WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT THE PROCESS OF DOING IT MYSELF. Thanks again my friend for sharing this musical visual with the WORLD ! It's long OVERDUE !
Free Cool C. Legendary 💯
He raps like the fresh prince
Hurts my heart every time I come across Cool C and Steady B. Just can't understand where it broke. If they could have chilled and just been a little more patient ...they could have been enjoying a lot of the success many other member of rap royalty are enjoying. They were really, really good.
For those that care and are unaware, today Dec. 15th is Chris's BORN DAY. He turned 54.

@@ktoescos phuck him...he killed a cop who had 2 kids !!!

@ d24 slim It's his birthday tomorrow , December 15th , he will be 51. Did you ever get around to sending him that letter you said you were preparing to send him ? I talked to him this evening and he sounded like he was in a positive mind state which is always good to hear.
ktoescos I have been very busy lately if I can get the letter as I live abroad I will how is he doing during this pandemic
Dam Philly now i know where Will Smith got his style Dayummmm
Why they blocked the agony of defeat that was my shit
He killed a police officer while robbing a bank and got death row..... Wasted Career
@@Demarcusken So what's your opinion on what Chi Ali and Shyheim did ?
@bigmarq2020 The entire 2nd album has now been uploaded. You can listen to it here : ruclips.net/video/tmR2fgHokzs/видео.html I'm going to type out the lyrics to "AGONY OF DEFEAT" EXACTLY the way CHRIS aka COOL-C wrote them out in a letter sent to me back in 2007 when he was at S.C.I. Greene in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. They will be posted under the video link I gave you in the comments section.💯
@bigmarq2020 I just finished typing out the lyrics to "AGONY OF DEFEAT". You can peep em now. PEACE !!!!
Cool C, like Will Smith, makes rap fun, easy to sing along to and doesn't speed up the pace with his lyrics like, say, Young M.C. and distances himself with the abrasive nature from Public Enemy's Chuck D and Flavor Flav. Also, his version of "In The Ghetto" sparks a more positive and less graphic message unlike Eric B and Rakim;s and Too Short's own versions. It adds on to the hope that there really is after all, and that's a good thing.
Before I sign off, I want to publicly announce that I am fully aware of his incarceration and number of stays of executions. It is not something that should be brought up and adds no place in this comment section. I want to make this bright and positive.
Free Cool C!
steady bs pal
Cool c look like will smith
Best ghetto is Lithuania 3million CONDOS 300KM RADIUS 20TEAMS BARCLAY BASKETBALL LKL NKL 40TEAMS 2040
Sounds like will Smith
Where Will Smith got his flow from......Hmmm. Free Cool C
Wow! you right. Can hear it clearly
@@joannelittles6441 they all went to overbook high so it makes sense 😮
That's true but don't free him..... He murdered a cop that was a mother of two...
Beat 'Cheesy Asf"🤣🤣🤣
@knucklegame5050 ruclips.net/video/pDInxKS_ZwQ/видео.html 🤐🖕
@knucklegame5050 I remember when Chris's aka Cool - C's 2nd album came out in 1990 titled : "LIFE IN THE GHETTO" This song was one of the singles from the album. Another rapper named Too Short released his album titled : "SHORT DOG'S IN THE HOUSE" that same year. It contained a hit single titled : "THE GHETTO". Since I was living on the west coast most of my area knew of Too Short and gave that cut a lot of play. However I was busy bumping the cut "LIFE IN THE GHETTO" by Cool - C. What's so strange about these two songs depicting life in the ghetto is that they both dropped during the same year and came from two artists that really had different styles and one was from the west coast and the other being from the east coast. But all those differences aside, when I listened to each of their songs it's crazy how similar they sound. Cool - C uses a faster beat to rap over and has a female singing the chorus : "Life In The Ghetto, Ohh Whoa Ohhh" and then on Too Shorts song "THE GHETTO" he raps over a slower sounding beat and has a male singing the chorus : "The Ghetto, Talking Bout The Ghheettoo". The baseline of the beat on both versions sounds VERY SIMILAR to me. I think you and other people that listen closely will agree. I actually only purchased the Cool - C cassette when it came out and only heard the Too Short version "THE GHETTO" when everyone around me was giving it heavy rotation in their cars and on the radio. From the information I've found on the internet Cool - C's album "LIFE IN THE GHETTO" was released on August 30, 1990. Too Short's 6th studio album "SHORT DOG'S IN THE HOUSE was released on September 11, 1990.The single for Too Short's song titled : "THE GHETTO" was released on October 8, 1990. Both of their albums were recorded during 1989-1990. I GUESS WHERE I'M GOING WITH ALL THIS IS THAT YOU SHOULDN'T POST SIMPLE IGNORANT COMMENTS SAYING A BEAT SOUNDS "CHEESY ASF", WHEN IN ACTUALITY THESE TWO ARTISTS MADE VERY SIMILAR SOUNDING TRACKS. ONE IS JUST FASTER THAN THE OTHER BUT THE LYRICAL CONTENT DELIVERING A DEEP AND POSITIVE MESSAGE IS ON POINT ON BOTH VERSIONS. YOU SHOULDN'T DISMISS A SONG AS BEING "CHEESY" JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT A FAN OF A FASTER PACED BEAT. BOTH SONGS ARE DOPE IN MY OPINION, LYRICS AND BEATS ON BOTH VERSIONS ARE ON POINT IN MY OPINION. HERE'S TOO SHORT'S VERSION OF "THE GHETTO" : ruclips.net/video/fw0uz88E2gI/видео.html God bless, one love !, peace !!!!
Free cool c hope he's doing well in prison
Cool c is dead tf is u talking about 😶😂
Izzy Coll he's not he got a stay
I just got a letter in the mail from Chris yesterday Monday June 4th 2018 ! , WHAT THE FUCK IS YOU TALKING ABOUT !!!! P.S. RIP M.C. Trouble . It's been 27 years since she passed on June 4th 1991. PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE MISSED ! , NOT FORGOTTEN !!!! Another P.S. Yo ! , Izzy Coll ! , DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU GET ON HERE SPREADING FALSE SHIT !!!!
Can anyone write to him?
Yes , however PLEASE KEEP THE COMMUNICATION ON POSITIVE VIBES ! NO HATERZ NEED APPLY !!!! Here is the address : Christopher Roney # DF -1973 (1st line ) , SCI Greene ( 2nd line ) , 175 Progress Drive ( 3rd line ) , Waynesburg , PA. 15370 ( 4th line ) . If you decide to write to him ? , please tell him that his homie out in S.taying D.edicated , Cali sent you . Hopefully you can get aboard the team for the long haul ? It's always better to have dedicated homies that will send letters on a consistent basis. There's too many of those fair weather friends out there that write once and then are never heard from again. Writing to an inmate is a commitment and can really help lift their spirits and should be taken seriously . There's not too much to look forward to on the inside but mail is definitely one of those things that an inmate does look forward to as well as phone calls and of course visits ! Peace ! , god bless ! , one love ! P.S. Please write the address in the order I wrote it in the above message , 1st line etc. otherwise it will not make it to Christopher and will be returned to you. This happened to me when I first wrote to him 10 years ago because I wrote his address down in the wrong order. Another P.S. Thanks for showing that you have empathy for Christopher and care about his well being and setting the record straight about his execution status. Most of all I just want to thank you for taking the time out to inquire about writing to him. Most people jump ship at this stage of someone's life but for you to want to come aboard is truly a blessing for someone especially in Christopher's situation .
Yeah more like life in prison for him....
The fresh Prince of bel air copy this style
I definitely hear it. Wow
Life in Jail
@ Lefty Mancini And ! , what's your point ? ! People F_ _ K UP all the time in life. NOBODY IS PERFECT ! So stop talkin' S_ _T !
PHILADELPHIA FINEST 🤑🤑🤑
They copied that run a power move on back round voice is Kaos and mystro! From Detroit
@ Got2getit20 Wrong , that voice saying : "Run a power move on em" is FLAVOR FLAV from the group PUBLIC ENEMY. He says that line on the song titled : "Miuzi Weighs A Ton" which is on their debut album titled : "Yo ! , Bum Rush The Show" from 1987 : ruclips.net/video/UMv5R2ioitU/видео.html Many other rappers and rap groups sampled FLAVOR FLAV'S various lines in their songs.
Wrong

@@calvingilmore9967 WORD ! , you know WHAT TIME IT IS and you didn't even have to sport a clock around your neck like our boy FLAVA FLAV !💯
