Stevie! | Reviewer: Bert | 10/8/09 I was soooo excited in 1995 when I heard this song, as it is based on Stevie's "Pastime Paradise" from "Songs in the key of life". As 14 year old boy, I listened to "The history of pop" and heard Pastime Paradise for the first time. I was in awe... An incredible song. And then Coolio took it and brought it to a new generation! Love U all cool redux | Reviewer: a ann | 4/28/09 I guess no one knows that this great rap song is a redux of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" from his 1976 masterpiece "Songs In The Key of Life" album. Give the Grand Master (Wonder) his due credits for being the original genius behind this song. pay respect | Reviewer: prince hew | 4/22/09 this is the only song i respect and love listening to.. i respect the song, the song writer, the person the song was dedicated to and Coolio.. some times i reflect my live on this song... walking around in gangs and whacking ppl.. wat goes around come backs around.. a hell of a good song made in history. power o respect.. being afraid is not respect.. having respect wit no power is better and fear of a powerful person. wat ever u think u are u dont have to be tat.. advice from me.. peace be with u..

Rap was originally created to exress the troubled emotions of gangs. Obviously people lately have been screwing it up, and now Coolio's 'Gangsta Paradise' is referred to as "Old School". I usually have no respect for rap, but this I have respect for, because it doesn't give a personna of being cool, crude, man-whores laying their women and running from the police. It's actually just crying without tears with this song. The last verse Coolio sings study please...it explains he is doomed for his actions and feels trapped for his actions. The last verse altogether raps it up. They realized their blind actions of the pain they caused, and regret it. ...And this is The Smart Sheep signing out. God Bless its an okay song | Reviewer: wigga | 1/15/08 i must admit i heard better. if you want some real g-shit read the bible... no joke theres all kind of killing in there betrail murder lies put people to the tust and i t gives me a clearer image on people and what they do. laugh at me if you want. but even coolio reads the bible and young jeezypeace out. sTR8 UP gansta | Reviewer: Clitoral Stimulator | 11/27/07 ok, so now ya see? coolio is a str8 up gansta u gotta realize this. just put this song on repeat ya herd smoke a blunt or summin u kno just kick wit ya forty coolio is the birth of gansta rap ya herd str8 thuggin thanx for makin the seen wut it is today word. pea-ce. - T-Boner. oneWUUT? A real life portrait | Reviewer: Rulo79 | 11/22/07 That song refects a sad reality of poverty and crime plagued life of most urban communities, expresing a no expectancies life,the "power of money" , loneliness, fractured families and crime life. It´s interesting to understand those people´s life, the other side of the modern society "progress" and the huge gap between different standards of living.
