I’ll never forget when this came out, summer of 95 and everyone was boppin this….it was just so hard!! 90’s rap is the best Dangerous Minds is a must see, trust
I listen to all different genres of music, literally from the 1920s to now. This it's one of my favorite songs still to this day for so many reasons. I can tell you right now that your ears have just been blessed. I'm a former singer and there's reasons why he brought in the choir as a background when it comes to his composition. First off he wanted to juxtapose the violence with something so beautiful. He wants you to hear the violence with the imagery of the versus of the lyrics. But he wants to counterbalance that put something absolutely angelic. And your mind goes to the risks of what will happen on the other song continues on this path. The flip side of this is that you will hear a choir singing at their funeral. Do you understand how this is TWO sides of the SAME coin? This is just one example of why this is such an amazing song. This song actually makes me cry still to this day and people don't understand how it is. I can't even say how many times it's amazing. I want to say THIS is amazing a million but the word amazing doesn't do it justice. The way that he does his lyrics and comes down on the LAST DOWN BEAT... it's almost on a 1/2 beat behind at the closing off for each line. Listen to it again.... You hear it clearly when he says the world FOOL! That's because with that break it actually lasts a little bit longer about 2 seconds longer than the other ones do. I have been a long time Coolio fan and yes he's been my secret boyfriend in my brain for a long time too but that is neither here nor there sweetheart. People for some reason many ways I feel underrated his music he seem to fail off after this with a couple more hours Go off into his own direction. Those of us who loved him stuck around, the others just took off and you don't see them decades later. They kind of knew about him beforehand, but then they became real fans when this movie came out. Honestly, I never saw the movie... I don't even want to. I don't want to ruin what his music is to me by watching it used in this movie. So yeah for as long as this movie's been out I've never actually watched it. The clips that you see here of this movie is exactly ALL of what I've seen of it. I understand the premise because I understand what was going on at the time cuz I lived through it. I'm probably one of your oldest people here because I actually came from the LFR FAMILY page. #NYGenXBIKERLady
I was thirteen when this hit! Loved dangerous minds, Coolio had his moment, and I still think Michelle Pfeffer is one of the most beautiful women alive
This came out the same time my brother was murdered so for a while no one in my family could listen to this song because it's so relatable to my brothers situation and the song is so intense and ominous. This is one of those songs that reaches down to the core of your soul... Timeless Also can I just give props to L.V. for singing his heart out ❤️
Tupac was 23 years old when he wrote this song 4 Coolio in 1994. Coolio with 30 years old at the time oh, he never recorded another song like this before this song or after this song. He died at the age of 59 recently
This actualy is one of the best records ever made. Just perfect. It was a huge hit in the Netherlands. I'm really a rock fan ,The Who, Thin lizzy, Rush, and so on ,but this is one of my favorites. BEAUTIFUL. Thank you guys for this one. 👊👊👍❤ from Holland
@@petervandervlies6427 I'll give you a pass because I love your country so much. The Nederlands are incredible. From the canals, to the incredible architecture, incredible history, gorgeous tall Dutch women everywhere, the museums, the Naaktstrands, the food...best bitterballen I've ever had, the friendly people, the laid back and friendly attitude. I'd love to move to the Nederlands. But just FYI, rush and nickleback are universally considered two of the worst bands ever in the US.
@@jeffburdick869 Hey Jeff, i agree about what you say about The Netherlands. I love this country too. Most dutch people are ok. About Rush and Nickelback, i think i know what you mean. I know a lot of people who don't like that kind of music. They are more in for the dutch klompen dans = a dance on wooden shoes 😁with hoempa loempa music. They hate Rush, and all music i love. Back in the days, my mom smashed my vynil record from SLADE (english rockband) To her it was just screaming and banging. I saw Rush two times in Rotterdam, not bad at all, in fact, VERRY GOOD. It's more a question of taste, i think. What is your favorit band, if you wanna tell me? 👊👍
Coolio was all over the place when this song hit. For whatever reason him fame fizzled out but no one can ever forget him due to this song and the crazy hair. We have to keep the legends alive. He's a legend.
Fun fact or Urban Legend: Stevie Wonder granted them rights to use it as long as they didn’t swear on the track. The lack of foul language also makes it radio friendly.
Now you have to listen to the Brilliant Stevie Wonder's song "PASTTIME PARADISE"; it's musical beauty. Coolio used the melody to make Gangsta's Paradise.
Thanks for making this video about "GANGSTA'S PARADISE" by Coolio! Well done! R.I.P. COOLIO ! I still from time to time groove to "GANGSTA'S PARADISE ". This song I sang a lot back in 1995 because I was a 24 yr. old junkie and Crackhead.. So, Coolio's lyrics,especially the 1st line resonated with me,"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left...." Addiction made me a slave and I lost everything!Including, my son (5 yrs old at the time) and my daughter (3 yrs old at the time). "Death ain't nothin' but a heartbeat away..." "I'm 23 now but will I live to see 24. The way things are goin' I don't know.." "If THEY can't understand, how can THEY reach me..." POWERFUL LYRICS! I THANK COOLIO FOR THIS GIFT!This song has a very sentimental value to me. I have been in recovery from Crack and heroin since 2004;alcohol since 2011. I SHOULD'VE BEEN DEAD YEEEARS AGO! GOD was definitely watching over me! Now,my mission is to help those strugglin' with addiction/ alcoholism. May Coolio have a FANTASTIC VOYAGE TO THE GANGSTA'S PARADISE IN HEAVEN. SHAKA ZULU! ✌😥

Gotta re-watch that movie. Damn A+. And as others say, when this came out we all loved it no matter what music you were into. In Sweden it was a huuuge hit.
This has to be the ultimate rap anthem of all time!!! Everyone on the planet has heard this beat & hook & it won a Grammy for best song of the year in 96' so I'd say it's probably the most well known rap song of all fuggin time & it still sounds hard asf even to this day 💯 Even ppl who hate rap love this song!!!!
I remember the movie 'Dangerous Minds' which this is the soundtrack to was pretty good. Gonna have to go watch it again. I remember LV. That was 'Large Variety'..
This, of course, was sampled from the original "Pastime Paradise" of OG Stevie Wonder. Stevie lends vocals to this version. You won't regret listening to Stevie Wonder "Pastime Paradise"
He is featured in a song that is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED, Hit Em High with him, B Real, Method Man, LL Cool J and Busta Rhymes. I HIGHLY recommend that song. Oddly enough it’s from the original Space Jam soundtrack.
This song was also used to great effect in an episode of "Angel" (tv series spinoff of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"). It was a flashback introduction to the character of Charles Gunn. 💙☮💙
I love that y'all are visiting classic rap again. I would still love to see you react to Lost Boyz - Renee!! 🔥 🔥 I know you'd love the song! It truly is 🔥! The beat is hard and the story is heartfelt. Please consider reacting to it. Love y'all's reactions!!
This song transcended all races and social classes. Literally EVERYONE was bumping this song back when it came out. I was a 9 or 10-year-old white kid from rural Ohio (35 now) bumping this song in my big boom box (which EVERYONE had in the 90s) trying to memorize the lyrics with my friend at the time. This song reminds me of growing up in the 90s the most- different times man… and much simpler times.
I was 14. It was a much harder time in the 90s actually. Not sure why younger generation calls back then was simpler, it was definitely harder. The older the time was the harder it was.
@@evelinepwee37 when I say “simpler” times, I mean things weren’t as complicated. We didn’t have the internet and all of this fancy technology back then. Maybe things were harder for YOU when you were a kid, but I had a relatively normal childhood and my parents were amazing… so it was definitely much better times. Nostalgia is a helluva drug..
@@coryjohnson2486 that’s the thing without good internet and technology, all of the systems including medical system weren’t so developed back then so it took longer more complicated process and tools that people overlook. The world was simpler but life wasn’t.
Asthma can go from no exacerbations for years to immediate death so always take it serious. A friend lost her son because he had asthma as a child and didnt need meds or have symptoms for years and years then in college and had an attack with no inhaler around and died. I havent had issues with asthma since I was a kid but at 40 i keep an inhaler on my person cause you never know
Falling In Reverse has a cover of “ Gangster’s Paradise “ that is awesome! . I read that Coolio like this version so much that he paid for the video production and he ‘s also in the video. Check it out.
They all got together for the awards show. They sampled Stevie's tune for the track. ( Coolio Feat L.V. & Stevie Wonder - Gangstas Paradise (Live @ 1995 Billboard Awards) th-cam.com/video/ZhJUDN4CwnM/w-d-xo.html )
Y'all gotta see the movie DANGEROUS MINDS...THE WOMAN IN THE VIDEO IS MICHELLE PHIEFER...SHE PLAYED THE WIFE IN THE MOVIE SCARFACE N SHE'S THE WOMAN FROM BRUNO MARS SONG 24 CARAT... THIS SONG WAS MY BANGER. COOLIO N STEVIE WONDER SANG THIS SONG TOGETHER ON THE GRAMMYS... THIS MUSIC IN THIS SONG IS ORIGINALLY A STEVIE WONDER SONG.
My middle of my 3 amazing daughters has Asthma and their mom and I are divorced so I’m always worrying about my middle angel when she’s at her moms. It really scares her and terrifies me when she’s had an attack and I don’t think most people know what it’s like to not be able to breathe or see your child in that state. Happy for ya it’s going better!
I remember the first time I heard this song...I was like...WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!! LOL. This was definitely fire. Went into my Broadcasting school the next day and told everyone about it lol
Re your asthma, occasionally when we are due thunderstorms we will also get asthma warnings broadcast. (Not always) Few years ago we had a thunderstorm that for some reason it triggered ALOT of asthma attacks, some fatal. 🇦🇺 take care 💚
The song, Gangsta’s Paradise, would also make some people think of airplanes taking off, flying in the stratosphere, and landing when listening to it. It is also a very epic song to listen to while going plane spotting and flying on airplanes when air traveling. That song is very epic to play while seeing amazing night views of city lights and the views of the stratosphere seeing the stars and moon in the sky when flying on planes. It’s very nice during night and evening flights when that song plays to airplanes as they takeoff and land while flying over beautiful cities. So nice when cities have airports when people see airplanes fly over the lovely buildings of cities. It’s so cool. The choirs of that song make it so special for airplanes flying at night and evening while seeing lots of lovely views in the stratosphere and troposphere and moon & stars while flying high in the sky, and the city lights from the ground when taking off and landing.
Coolio got his start in 1990 as part of the group WC and The MAAD Circle, with rapper WC and DJ Crazy Toones. L.V. is a member of the gangsta rap group South Central Cartel
It is a scientific fact that if you grew up as a teenager in the 90s, you know every word. Doesn't matter who you are. Doesn't even matter if you were a big fan of the song. You just know them anyway. But it's also a scientific fact that there is no such thing as a human that will say they HATE this song, too. Another fun fact was that Stevie Wonder wouldn't be involved with the song if there was profanity. You don't even realize the lyrics are 100% squeaky clean, because the song is so damn good. LOL! There are live versions where Stevie actually performs with Coolio and does the chorus vocals instead, which is badass.

Oh yeah! 😅
Songs hard, I too remember when this came out and Dangerous Minds stinks just as much now as it did then.
@@FURTHER_ADO yeah, but back than I could watch Michelle Pfieffer read the phone book.
This is still one of the greatest hip hop-rap songs released.
Love this song. It's as sociopolitically important as the original song they sampled, Stevie Wonder's, "Pastime Paradise."

Dangerous Minds is the movie. Watch the movie if you haven't seen it. I mean, it is a White savior type deal, but good nonetheless.
Coolio usually made happy music so this song showed a different side & I loved it great song 🎧
You need to listen to Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise" which is where the music from this song are sampled from.
You really need to watch the movie, what's been displayed in this video.
This is rap, not that crap they have today!
This song never ceases to give me goosebumps ♥️

Asthma can go from no exacerbations for years to immediate death so always take it serious. A friend lost her son because he had asthma as a child and didnt need meds or have symptoms for years and years then in college and had an attack with no inhaler around and died. I havent had issues with asthma since I was a kid but at 40 i keep an inhaler on my person cause you never know
Haven't had a bad attack since my childhood, nearly 50band still keep an inhaler with me wherever I go.
Best chorus ever on a rap song is Joe Hooker's on Black Rob's song "You don't Know Me"
Classic..this song was number 1 for a longgggg time back in the day.
This song was huge in the Philippines. I was in the 5th grade and everyone is gangsta. Im 40 now and doin good. Nice music

Re your asthma, occasionally when we are due thunderstorms we will also get asthma warnings broadcast. (Not always) Few years ago we had a thunderstorm that for some reason it triggered ALOT of asthma attacks, some fatal. 🇦🇺 take care 💚
The song, Gangsta’s Paradise, would also make some people think of airplanes taking off, flying in the stratosphere, and landing when listening to it. It is also a very epic song to listen to while going plane spotting and flying on airplanes when air traveling. That song is very epic to play while seeing amazing night views of city lights and the views of the stratosphere seeing the stars and moon in the sky when flying on planes. It’s very nice during night and evening flights when that song plays to airplanes as they takeoff and land while flying over beautiful cities. So nice when cities have airports when people see airplanes fly over the lovely buildings of cities. It’s so cool. The choirs of that song make it so special for airplanes flying at night and evening while seeing lots of lovely views in the stratosphere and troposphere and moon & stars while flying high in the sky, and the city lights from the ground when taking off and landing.
Movie was great, video was great, the song and message is epic.
Coolio got his start in 1990 as part of the group WC and The MAAD Circle, with rapper WC and DJ Crazy Toones.
L.V. is a member of the gangsta rap group South Central Cartel
listening to this makes me want to watch Dangerous Minds again. Great song
Coolio appeared in one original Battlestar Galactica series episode and this song was playing in the background.
This uses the chorus from Stevie Wonder song "past time paradise"
Still gives me goosebumps!!!
Some old school rap Self Destruction - Stop the Violene Movement, Heavy D and The Boys -We got Our own Thang
Yes Self Destruction
I'm yelling out "DANGEROUS MINDS" over and over and my kids come busting through my door like I'm crazy lmaoooo.

Love This Song - Man This Song Was Huge When It Hit In The 90's
(React to this old school it’s a banger )Ghetto mafia/ straight from the deck
Nice 👍 performance from Coolio rest in peace my brother all the way from Lagos Nigeria.
Yup that old school
It is a scientific fact that if you grew up as a teenager in the 90s, you know every word. Doesn't matter who you are. Doesn't even matter if you were a big fan of the song. You just know them anyway. But it's also a scientific fact that there is no such thing as a human that will say they HATE this song, too. Another fun fact was that Stevie Wonder wouldn't be involved with the song if there was profanity. You don't even realize the lyrics are 100% squeaky clean, because the song is so damn good. LOL! There are live versions where Stevie actually performs with Coolio and does the chorus vocals instead, which is badass.
The girl is thinking, like OMG
I love the chorus
Stevie! This song and the lyrics evolved over the decades.
Check out falling in reverse gangstas paradise. And still fly devil wears prada
Some things leave a mark. They never leave us. This song is one among them.
