I think he’s telling a story of what it’s like growing up in the hood. Becoming a gangster. People tell them they’re supposed to do better, but they don’t know what better looks like. They have no model for it. Everything is total chaos where he’s from. Your dad probably felt spent afterward, because that’s the feeling he’s conveying here. Like no hope of getting out.

It’s not just the hood. I grew up on poor neighborhoods in 60s-70s and my mom pointed out how many kids never went beyond 5-10 blocks. There were kids my age who had never been to the mall. My mom was a teacher in the head start program in area and she tried to expose the kids to as much as possible because many of them came from poor immigrant families and parents were working to survive so it was the streets raising the kids. The worse part is these programs failed because you can’t just throw money at the problems. My mom would make home visits and actually took interest in the kids. She would do the lunch like “family style” where the kids were passing the dishes and using manners of please and thank you. It was always chaotic at the beginning of the year but her kids usually went the furthest in school and would come back and visit her. What’s sad is she was criticized by many peers for actually giving a damn and wouldn’t lower her expectations or standards for them just as she wouldn’t for her own kids. As she said being poor wasn’t an excuse for poor manners, having a work ethic, nor applying yourself and doing your best. Being poor isn’t a crime nor anything to be ashamed about. It’s not expecting individuals to contribute to society or to behave with respect for themselves and others. I grew up knowing that being poor didn’t define you nor your character and still know many families who struggle financially but have far more good character than many rich people I’ve worked for. But the cycle continues with crime and dependency simply because we try and treat the issues with money (that is actually stolen and not used properly - and instead goes to pork programs making greedy politicians wealthier) and continuing with the lie that poverty is the cause.

@@carolynpeca2818 The way you described this is perfect and really hits where I feel it the most. I've grown up in the hood my whole life with a single mom, my sister, and me. We always just barely get by, but sometimes my mom goes hungry to make sure us kids eat. It's very, very comforting and encouraging to see problems such as these be spoken about truthfully and respectfully.

Your dad gives such an honest reaction to the songs he listens too and he almost dissects each verse to give a better understanding of what the artist is trying to get across to whoever is listening. He is so open and accepts some of the most debatable verses that people like to trash or look at as negative verse and turn it into a more positive verse. His reactions are the best I have seen in a long time.

This is the stuff I love to see on KZfaq. Generations coming together, being open to pop culture that they didn't know, or didn't understand, or didn't pay attention to before. Broadening the musical horizon for everyone involved. Respect to Dad, for being open to something once dismissed. Hip-hop sampling has passed the funk and soul of generations past, down to new generations...and those younger generations can go back to discover and enjoy the inspirations...and sometimes, the owner of the original recording earns more money off a sample than they made from the original song. The beauty of sampling, really, is that it's a lot like the two of you sharing Pastime Paradise and Gangsta's Paradise with one another. It breaks down generational boundaries with the timelessness of great music.

I remember eagerly waiting for my local radio stations top 5 most requested songs of the day to play in the evening, back when when I was in high school, waiting for this song... everyday for like months in a row. This song is pure nostalgia for me.

Rappers also created second lives for many older artists. Record sales and tours.

I've listened to this song hundreds of times in my life and every single time I hear it the lyrics "I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24? The way things is goin', I don't know" gives me goose bumps

'Never crossed a man that didn't deserve it'. That line hits hard when you mature and have gone through the pain, an accountability statement. Left his mark on us all with this song.

These types of songs always bring back memories, it’s rough growing up in a crime family

Take advantage with this time with your father young bro. When he’s gone these memories are gonna be all you have left. Lost mine last year and I find myself lost without him. Wish y’all nothin but the best goin forward.

This is the song/movie that made me truly want to be an educator. When that principal said the student "didn't knock", my mother and I broke down crying. It was too much. I remember writing the lyrics to this song and memorizing them. Never even liked rap. But this song/movie hits SO HARD. SO RELEVANT even to this day. Masterpiece of epic proportions😥

I was in 2nd grade when this song came out and me and another kid were rapping it and the teacher was like "what are you guys singing?" The teacher made us rap the whole song in front of the class 😂 and the class cheered us at the end lol

I bc remember when this came out and also the movie with Michelle Pheiffer “Dangerous Minds” Coolio was huge during that time especially in the WC 🔥

Michelle Pfifer is in the video because this song was featured in the movie Dangerous Minds. The music video has parts of the movie in it. Well worth watching.

Coolio got some bops, he's not a one hit wonder....just underestimated in my opinion. Love the content, it takes me back to mainly my twenties. Can you have your father listen to some more female rappers like Roxanne Shante, MC Lyte, Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott? And that's just a morsel of female rappers that influenced my life. I love the bond you all have! Love and light!

New Sub! I appreciate your Dad listening and reacting to these songs. However, I think most of these songs came out when your Dad was in HS! You’re not only giving me a flashback, but I love the dynamic between Father and son!!!!

@Vulcanerd 2 жыл бұрын

Dad mentioned being spent after listening to the song and I think I feel something very similar. You don't get a hint of desperation or seeking help from the tone of Coolio, but the lyrics tell you all you need to. He's explaining the desperate situation, the helplessness, the dead end he's facing. It's a selection between an absolutely awful choice and extinction and others who have had to band together and make that same decision. The situation is so overarching and overwhelming that a single person can't fight it and survival requires banding together with others to just simply make it through, to merely subsist. But, that wave is so overwhelming and crushing that, even with a band of homies, it's just enough to stem the tide, not to overturn it. I can only imagine the anger, sorrow and helpless desperation a person feels facing those odds.
