Her footwork alone is worth a Grammy.

Interviewer: “So you’re doing a cover of Gangster’s Paradise, what parts are you going to play?” Taylor: “Yes”

Bless you, algorithm, for bringing me here. This young artist brings so much soul with her music! She seems to be a complete orchestra all by herself.

Coolio for sure is smiling looking and listening to you wherever he is now.Beautiful version! You are a GEM!

When you’re classically trained but still hood at heart.

Some random dude says to her " I bet you can't do a cover of gansta paradise with your style" Taylor Reed: "Hold my lemonade".

I'm not big on rap, but Coolio hooked me with this song. I almost passed over the cover, but being a retired musician I felt guilty to do so. I didn't feel much of her hook at first, but she seemed confidently deliberate & consistent with all her movements as the layers blended into familiarity. Then her voice kicked off owning Coolio's rap like it was her own. Love the layers, artistry, multi instrimemtal musicianship & unique expression vocally. Glad I gave it a chance. It was a great treat. Bravo !

There's so much talent in the World, sometimes it's hard to breathe....

The most impressive part of the pedalboard-work, is the turning of the knob at 1:35

"oh, you're doing "gangsta's paradise"? you're rapping?" - "hold my shoes!"

I'm not even half way through and I'm blown away. Talented, intelligent, beautiful voice, did it all on her own 👌👌👌💖

There are 5000 very sad, strange, disillusioned people in the world.. I'd like them to try and do this! You're very talented.. just learning ukulele at 43 and envious!!!

It's amazing one part at a time , together truly outstanding. The arrangement of it all is mindblowing, the fact she built it right in front of my eyes, I'm utterly speechless. Talented doesn't begin to describe this amazing soul.

Have to admire talent when you come across it, guitar, fiddle, voice not to mention the pedals which is a skill in it's self. Well done.

Lovely, lovely cover, and you really brought your own style to performance. ❤️ Rest In Power, Coolio. 🙏💪🌙❤️✝️

Wasn't sure what to expect. The music just flows through you. Amazing.

Anyone who has tried working a looping pedal/station knows how much credit this deserves! Keep it coming 🙌🙌

Am I the one that after having watched that for so many times, I am still stunned by the subtle way she dances on the whole song...??

When the real streets collide with genius... Absolutely brilliant recording.

Ok i was just researching loopers but somehow i came here and managed to misplace my jaw

I am blown away on how great this cover is, definitely a new take on this song! So much skill and emotion pouring out of this song! Keep it up! Really enjoyed listening to this!

This is the evolution of the One Man Band dude with the guitar, harmonica, cymbals between the knees, castanet, tin whistle, etc, etc.

Taylor, you owned it regardless of how you delivered it. Classical, Pop, Reggae, Country, Rap is irrelevant when it comes to genius. Thank you for acknowledging, expressing, and appreciating Coolio’s brilliance and your interpretation of it.

Wow Girl! You are so talented!!! I honestly can't believe how anyone would give this a thumbs down. The haters are just jealous! Don't even bat an eye or give any of them the time of day! You are incredible and inspiring!!!

Talented is an understatement!!! This was incredibly beautiful!! Awesome rendition!!

Dang algorithm, you tossing me some good good. Subscribed.

Back again, to watch this brilliant piece of art. Everything about this is simply amazing.

The perfect grace: pretty girl, awesome musician, nice song, beautiful voice

Wow...she is multi-talented, multi-footed and can sing!! And multi-memoried...I would have forgotten where I was after the second loop!! Go girl...

Talent + hard work + love = "gangsta Paradise Taylor Reed " Thank you for sharing your Talent to the world I wish you endless blessings and success!

I'm adding this to my "Gangsta's Paradise covers" playlist. I don't really care for it that much, BUT I'm still awed by her tallent and the ORIGINALITY of her arrangement.

Such a talent, each time I watch l see more, I am learning guitar at the moment and my instructor has been teaching me about rhythm and keeping the beat, I noticed how you began to strum without touching the strings to get the rhythm and beat before you touched the strings, so cool to see what the instructor says and how you really exaggerated it and proved his point. Awesome and great technique 👍🙏👍

Real talent, compared to some of the "STARS" we have today,we need more of this!

You know those times when recommendations actually gets something right...this is one of those times. Wow excellent work hope to see more in the future. 🤯🎻❤️

You can rarely surprise me with something ... But now my eyes are rolling out .... SUPER ... Thank you very much ...🌹

Superb in all ways. My hat is off to Ms. Taylor Reed.

Natural and pure talent! Playing multiple instruments and singing at the same time, just unbelievable.

The foot work on the loop station is incredible. The song is fantastic. GREAT Job!

Oh my GOD! I am lost for words! Fantastic!

Wow. This is a precious version and she made it just gorgeous. Nicely done Taylor Reed!

Fantastic. Technically - in terms of using the RC300 and the musicianship in general, and in terms of the emotion as well in the performance, over and above the looping technique and skill, which is top notch. No one cares about how fast pedals can be pressed if it doesn't make you feel anything. Fantastic. Very glad to have stumbled across this. After many years of working with loop pedals and being involved in that and other people who do the same, this is one of the best things I've ever seen anybody do, unknown and well known people both. It succeeds in being about the music over and above the technique, which doesn't get in the way of the music being front and center, it just makes it happen, which is the point, but not everyone can manage it, and few as good as that. Massively impressed, and a great example of what can be done with looping when there's skill, talent and emotion brought to it.

This is one pass time paradise that seriously paid off. 🤟 word to the wonderful.

Excellend performance your timing is impeccable, great work cant wait to see more.

This girl is pure talent

I wonder if live looping started as a reaction on how over produced all music is and how artists today "can't play". This is impressive on so many levels, and it is fun to hear the music take shape.

Can't remember the last time I sat through an entire"looper" video, nice. Flawless

Let’s see... Multi instrumentalist: check Percussionist: check Sound engineer: check Vocals: lead-check, backup-check Creativity: check

She is awesome! Brilliant work!

That's awesome! Your voice is amazing!👍

You're so good Taylor. Your voice, your ability with the instruments, no more words, just applauses. Brasilian fan here.

I've watch this several times, first time with headphones on and her VOICE! Wow, I was mesmerized but the instruments before, so much going on. Incredible musician.

Absolutely amazing work!

The part where you added the violin was wicked cool. It made the song have all the emotion!

Amazingly well practiced to command so many foot switches without looking! Blown away!

I’m thoroughly impressed. Wow 🤩

Impressive Taylor! Multi skilled and obvious dedicated work ethic. Go far.

damn. she's the full package! howcome people like her never get the recognition that's deserved? this was incredible.

I can't get enough of the entrance of the violin part! gives me goosebumps..

This is some great music and passion, Taylor Reed.... Great video...

One of my favorite videos. Her stage work is awesome.

Wow .. incredible ... beautiful ... super talented . Yup , love at first sight , lol . : ) Will watch again and share like crazy !

Imagine the thrill, even for her, when she put this all together for the first time. A musical feat, a feat for the feet while tap- dancing... & a technological feat. Her parents didn't have this technology even if they had her talent!

Amazing and absolutely talented!!! Wow! Amazing artist, singer, producer !great job!

Awesome setup.. super vibey 🤙🏽 I cant wait to see what you create next

i think i might have tripped over my own feet before getting started. VERY COOL!!!

Wow! Well done. I love the looping, and you have a great voice. Lots of talent here!

That is some crazy crazy crazy skills...all around ❤️❤️❤️

This made me smile for the first time in almost a year, thank you

That was an amazing way to create art! Thanks for sharing this.

Sublime. She should be no 1 in the charts.

Taylor Reed you are absolutely brilliant. I watch this and then pick up my ukulele and try again.

PHUCK!! She rocked this. In a major way!!

The only things I can say are I love how you presented the song, good use of fx, and just a good solid performance. Well done.

That "Oh Yes" in the end😄👏👏 That's the spirit

Excellent. Beautiful sound.

LOVE THIS SONG

Oh my God ! Amazing! You are wonderful!

Stunning talent, love this cover.

You nailed it - incredible !!!

Wow. Wow. I don't know how many times I said said wow, I lost count... Talk about multi-dexterous too! This is probably one of the best, and most unique covers I've ever seen, and amazing looping and layering with a great variety of sound! Amazing, awesome, loved it! Thanks to YT for randomly showing this in the suggested sidebar :D lol

This gal is gifted - pretty incredible! Thank you for posting

WOW! I am speechless. You took one of my all-time favorite songs and made it fresh and definately your own. I felt like I was hearing it for the first time and I loved it all over again.

certain musicality brings me goosebumps. you do this with such amazing talent. Keep it up!

The outro is the best part. Outros are huge to me, and is what made the original coolio song amazing, and what made your cover extra amazing.

Un bon moment pour rendre hommage à ce grand rappeur.

Wonderful work! BRAVO!!!

Holy shit. Gifted beyond words. Thanks for sharing.

So much hard work and talent! Keep doing your thing :)!

Gangsta rap should be celebrated. It makes communities stronger. Keep it up!!!!

Wonderful! 👏👏👏

Impressive! She is even playing whac-a-mole with her feet like...whatever. Talk about multitasking :D

Very cool I love the way you sang this, really good.

It just aint fair to be that talented in so many different things and be that beautifull …

Beautiful. The cover was incredible too😊
