I used to wash dishes and bus tables at a restaurant by an airport in ‘06 when I was 15, I met him while he was having some food waiting on his next flight. I had never met a celebrity before and realizing instantly who he was I was nervous to bus the tables around him while he ate. I guess he picked up on it and asked me if I was okay. I told him that I was nervous because I had never met a celebrity before and I was a fan of gangsters paradise. His energy was so different than I had expected. We chatted for a minute or two and it helped my nervousness so much. Never forgot that day nor will I ever. He asked me what there was to do around my city and I told him and then I had to get back to work. He patted me on the back and told me to keep my grades up and even tho I was working, to not let it effect my grades. He was such a down to earth dude that day. Like a friend you could hang with or something. I told all my friends and they were so jealous lol. RIP Coolio, getting older and seeing my childhood heros pass never gets easy.

He wasn't the most dynamic rapper of his generation but like Tupac his words carried emotion and a realism which really brought his big personality out on records whether it be a darker track like Gangstas paradise or some of his more funky tunes, his legacy is set in stone and will live on through the ages.

One of the moments that brought me to respect Coolio in recent years was being a mentor for a short while to the mega-hiphop group BTS, who are now the biggest most popular band, in both KPop & not in KPop, in the world right now, & that's not a stretch. He taught them a little bit about history, fashion & then some words of inspiration ... "The most important thing, keep on pumpin' your heart. Stay dedicated to your crafts, stay dedicated to your life. So if the music is your life, you must be very dedicated to it,...Do it because you love it." --- Coolio to BTS (in 2014)

Gangsta's Paradise was originally an L.V. song, his idea, he wrote the hook. That is what Coolio first heard when he walked in his producer's house. Coolio always gave L.V. credit for this. Also this video should have mentioned Coolio's crew 40Thevz: Wino, Billy Boy, Lek Ratt, PS, Spoon, DJ Fatbox (RIP), Malika, Shorty of Da Lench Mob (RIP), Rated R of Thug Life, and Ras Kass. They deserve their due. So much talent forgotten 🙏 RIP Coolio

Biggie with Lil Kim & Junior Mafia, J-Flex & Jay-z with Dre, Jadakiss & Big with Puff, N best believe most of all Pac with many various artist. One reference in Gangsters Paradise where he subliminally says the fact is where Coolio says " I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24foe the way things are going IDK'? If Coolio wrote this he would of been much older at the time. In 2pac coincidentally not would of been this exact age. Truthfully Coolio either dropped a heavy 💰 for these verses or what I think nowing Pac it was cuz he messed N respected the OG.
