RIP Coolio

Stevie Wonder was his turning point; to allow the sampling of his track, Stevie mandated removal of foul language from Coolio’s hit and that got it mainstream and became an eye opener to rappers that rap can become mainstream with a few sensitivities. Rest is history.

Shame Coolio died today at just 59.

Incidentally, the same disregard for each other and for human life that his hit lyrics talk about, is presently at an all time high…..

an everyday professional wondering (as many others do daily) what all the animosity is all about? we all came with nothing (as babies), didn’t choose where we popped out and we will all leave (when we die) with nothing.
