RIP Coolio

Post by craig3.2 » Thu Sep 29, 2022 7:49 am

Sad to hear Coolio has died,only 59 . Far too young.
For those not sure who he is,Gangstas Paradise was one of his biggest hits.

I had to remind myself who he was and why I've never listened to the music.

Sorry to hear but I'm too old to know who he was.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

Obviously not into your 90s Commercial Chart/Rap music,lol.
He had a few hits, mid to late 90s.

Obviously.
Folk on here more into Elvis or Bing Crosby than 90s Chart/Pop/Rap music, haha.
He had a few good songs out.
Sad to hear he'd died.

They both have something in common with Coolio though.... :thumbsup:

Found out today that Coolio was not his real name either :o
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

On the contrary, I was regularly listening to NWA, EricB&Rakim, Public Enema :lol:, DerekB :oops: :rofl:, RunDMC, et al.
I just never heard of Coolio for whatever reason, idk why.
