Coolio crashes fans' house party, cooks dinner and raps 'Gangsta's Paradise'

buyer95

Coolio met the students after a concert in Preston and he came back to there place. He decided he wanted to cook them food(apparently the man who had one of the biggest hip hop songs ever is now a celeb chef) and also did a impromptu acoustic rendition of Gangsta's Paradise. Guitarists different colour socks is brilliant:pac: No autotune in sight. His rapping from 4 mins on is actually very good. This was blowing up on reddit earlier, meant to post it then. Guitar player on the left is on reddit and posted up the link to the video http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/1o1unc/coolio_came_to_my_house_last_night_cooked_us/?sort=new
TMZ article there http://www.tmz.com/2013/10/09/coolio-gangstas-paradise-unplugged-rapper-jams/

Vertical video ruined absolutely all of that for me.

Was never as good as your man Weird Al's "Amish Paradise"

Looks like a fairly s.hit party..
Say he was mad to get out of there

One of the greatest hip hop songs ever released. Coolio is a legend in the U.S still because of that song, not so much in these parts. Himself and Pac were close I think.

That's cool. io .

Did he have a song in the 90s? Otherwise, never heard of him.

Seriously people, its 20 f***ing 13. We all have widescreen TVs and monitors and smartphones have the ability to rotate the view. How has nobody uploading videos from their phone learnt how to record a video properly?

Fair fcks to him, enjoying himself. No negativity.

You gotta read Cookin' with Coolio.
It's a cookbook, but the language is all gangsta. It's great.

Song was released in 96, you have to remember they would have been 5 or 6 at the time. The kids are doing well to know the chorus I'd say. Still love that song.

sok2005

When Coolio asks you to sing louder you shout kids, none of this half hearted whispery b.s. Use those lungs!

What difference does that make?

There are songs on my iPod that were released before I was born.

The man has sold 17 million albums. Granted he never was as big here as he is in America. Still he shouldn't be broke.

He's worth 100,000 times more than me anyway.

DEFTLEFTHAND

Coolio grew up in Compton CA, 'A Gansgters Paradise' and he made something of himself, I find his story inspiring. Apparently he's making good money these days through his culinary career and of course his royalthy cheques will tide him over for the rest of his life.

Fair play to him, like he mentions in his famous song he might not have made 24 if he fell into the streets.

You know it wasn't his song right? Surely Stevie Wonder is the only one that should be making money off that?

Something so sad about a group of white middle class students trying to be all gangster. Pathetic.

What a ridiculous comment. You expect them not to join in the song when he wants them to?

New footage has emerged of this captured in the much sought after widescreen. Find something else to complain about now please.

Aye. Bit of a non story IMO but a harmless, nice story, not deserving of vitriol - often people despise that though; has to be edgy.

Too Hot by Coolio is wicked (and another one by him - can't remember the name - which samples Pull Up To The Bumper very nicely).
