Coolio Lyrics


b. Artis Ivey, 1964, Compton, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Boasting of a long, though infrequently recorded, career in
hip-hop, rapper Coolio appeared alongside other west coast
luminaries such as Dr. Dre when he was still with the World
Class Wreckin' Crew. He even signed to Ruthless Records for
a brief, unproductive spell. His debut release was 'Whatcha
Gonna Do', one of the very first Los Angeles rap records,

Its not an abusive country that make this happen and it might be hatred of colored people but people might feel hatred because they are e killing each other.if MLK or other civil-rights. activist were here they would be ashamed by the gang bangers.

    ------ About the song Gangsta's Paradise performed by Coolio

It's very true that youth involved in gangs need to reflect upon their lives, but it's equally true that gangs are just a byproduct of an abusive country. If there weren't hatred and violence against the poor and people of color, there wouldn't be gangs trying to vent the abuse they suffered onto others. As a victim, there are two ways of coping with abuse: either you become depressed and self-destructive, or depressed and violent. Gangs are a classic example of the latter.

    ------ About the song Gangsta's Paradise performed by Coolio

This song is absolutely legendary and pure genius, however, Mr. Anonymous down there is the reason why I conceal-carry an H&K USP45, there's been many a time when some little ghetto punk tried to fuck with me or one of my buds, only to be met with some well placed Magtech JHP+Power. There's a cure for these low-class, piss-poor, trashy, uneducated gangster/thug wannabes, and that's for responsible law-abiding Americans to get there Conceal-Carry permits and step up and do what's necessary to keep themselves and their loved ones safe. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY HOOAH

I agree with the anonymous guy about the song but, its uneducated dumbass ghetto punks like you who fuck the world up. Yeah i understand the government thing but the crimes you commit ruin innocent peoples lives. thats what you gotta remember when you think your gonna be a badass and commit crimes. Try making an honest living, instead of stealing what people work their asses off for their whole life because you think your the shit when really everyone thinks your dick and want to hang you in their front yards.
