His first few hits were ubiquitous. And I’d argue that Gangsta's Paradise made him one of the most instantly recognizable artist of his era. It’s easy to dismiss him as a pop rapper. But it takes artist like Coolio for a genre to gain a foothold in the mainstream. And here we are, all these years later, and Hip Hop is the most commercially and culturally dominant genre there is. And Coolio deserves some of the credit for that. RIP

Gangsta’s Paradise is one of those movie songs, where the song is much more well remembered than the film it was featured in.
RIP

Genuinely bums me out that I found out about this from a Virgin tweet

I knew the songs for sure. He also made the game show rounds in the late 90s/early 2000s a bit. Was on 90s versions of Match Game and Hollywood Squares, and he was one of the other celebrities to play on the Donny Osmond version of Pyramid when Dick Clark was the other guest celebrity player that week.
Didn't he do an episode of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast too?

When I woke up this morning, I wasn't expecting to see or read the news of Coolio dying. Him dying took me by surprise. Gangsta's Paradise was one of the first rap albums I ever got and I played that entire album over and over. While the song "Gangsta's Paradise" was his ticket to fame and was a very fun listen, I always preferred other tracks on the album such as "Too Hot," "Exercise Yo Game," and "Kinda High Kinda Drunk."
