This song deserves a spot on the top 10 rap songs of all time

Stevie Wonder wouldn’t sign off on Coolio doing a version of his song with cuss words in it, so yeah, no swearing in this song.

Based on true story of a white woman just out of U.S Marine Corp to become a teacher in a ghetto. Her name's LouAnne Johnson. The song is the OST to "Dangerous Minds" movie, starring Michelle Pfeiffer.

To answer your question Coolio lived in Cali for awhile but he was born in Pennsylvania. The song sort of tricks people when you start listening to it cause at the start it sounds like he's glorifying gangster life but the song is actually condemning it and bringing to light not just discrimination against blacks but against poor people in general and that's why the movie fits in so well with the song. It's so popular because of how real it is.

Coolio was from Compton calif..

I can't believe it's been 27 years since this song was released. It's still an incredible song that stands the test of time. Not many songs can do that. Lose Yourself from Eminem is another one that will never sound old...and that one is 20 years old.

The 90s was the best era the best fucking decade. I was 18 when this song and movie dangerous minds came out, I went to the movies to see it. 90s was hip hop and rap Gold

Coolio is from Compton. This was his life everyday. Compton is rough as rough gets.

That's why back in the day songs not going away any time

Great song for great movie. Dangerous Minds

RIP Coolio. U R missed 😢

JUSTIN's WORLD This is from the movie "Dangerous Minds", I'm quite fond of it. I know you guys are meant to be a laugh but if you liked this I would suggest a listen to Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five "The Message". For something lighter and thoroughly enjoyable do check out the Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight", kept me dancing constantly 30+ years ago.

The movie was Dangerous Minds

It's from the movie Da feel is Minds which was based on a true story. In the video he's talking to the star. Michelle Pfeiffer who plays a teacher in the film. Excellent movie. This rap has one of the BEST hooks ever.

Classic song. So good

If this is your first Coolio track then you haven't heard Fantastic voyage..you'll love it!!

It's rated G..... For Gangsta, obviously.....

He is an original gangster and his style back in the day with scare the kids today

Coolio passed away today at 59 from an apparent heart attack.

Shout out to this big boy...I'm about to die right now. New homies don't know their history😢

Brother, this was not very hard for the 90's, this was radio play. Check out Going Insane by Mack 10's first group Totally Insane, or Killa Whale by Dre Dog. That's hard!!!

thank you for letting us know that you guys are black, we would have never figured it out

Think the brother in the black t shirt is Highasakite😀

Coolio is from Compton California…

This song is from a Movie called Dangerous Minds. It's really good.

It's an ORIGINAL STEVIE WONDER SONG. COOLIO AND STEVIE PERFORMED THIS SONG TOGETHER.

Gimme what ever y’all on 😂 lol

If you close your eyes you can hear Bob Ross reacting to Gangsta's Paradise

Gang violence was at an all time high back then. Children had to sleep on the floor because of the bullets coming through the walls, It was madness, so many young black children were killed by stray bullets during drive by killings. It was insane.

Ok. I love this!! I’m old. Like 62 and I don’t work .I watch a grip of reaction videos and usually I find most of the reactors annoying af. But you made me laugh! Listen to NF tho. I really like his music!

Checkout "No Vaseline"!!! Ice Cube also a 90's song! This song is tame in comparison to other songs in the 90's!!! Stevie Wonder wouldn't sign off on song if he was going to use "cuss" words! Dangerous Minds was the movie!

JUST STRAIGHT F in FACTS!!!!

Grew up in south central la

Justin check out "LUCIFER" by TWISTED INSANE, its a current video and he paints a vivid picture with a ending you won't believe it. TWISTED can rap his ass off too but probably too fast for a lot of people's taste but he is ,🔥🔥🔥

I like this song 👍

Now do Weird Al's version!

He's from Pennsylvania and after that song moved to LA

He was a real Loc
