- I do not own the copyrights to this video. I spoke with Chris over the phone 2/28/2018 (wednesday) and he gave me the blessing to upload his video for his family, friends and fans. Hope you enjoy this valuable piece of history & GOD Bless. "Lil Gangsta Ern"
For all those that care , tomorrow December 15th is Christopher's birthday. He will be 51. I talked to him on the phone this evening and he sounded like he was in good spirits.
Well wishes too the OG gangsta.
Tell that nigga I love him BigMike from Detroit
@@getyaplaycloths Why don't you tell him that yourself ? I've been writing him and putting money on his books and taking his phone calls since 07. I found his address to write to him and I'm all the way out in S.taying D.edicated , Cali . Where there's a WILL , there's a WAY. Don't talk about it be about it ! WORD !!!! Everybody be out here saying free so and so or talking about their close homie being locked down on their social media accounts but then they don't pick up a pen and paper and actually write to their homie. I've heard cats make excuses saying I'm not a writer. Well if that's the case send them some pics or articles to read. Take their calls or put some money on their books every so often. A lot of these cats behind the walls don't be F _ _KIN' with SOCIAL MEDIA HEAVY like that. So when people on the outs be on social media saying they miss their homie or loved ones that are behind those bars often times their loved ones and homies never get to hear or read those messages. All these people are FRONTIN' N' FAKIN' ! If these people mean so much to them they need to stop being so F_ _KIN' lazy and do it OLDSCHOOL/THE TRUE SCHOOL and drop an actual ENVELOPE with a letter or pics or articles enclosed in it into a mailbox every so often.
@@ktoescos where you found the address?
Meek need to be tryna get him free…
AND I CAN VOUCH FOR EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN SAID BY THE YOU TUBE USER THAT UPLOADED THIS VIDEO . I"M A FRIEND OF CHRISTOPHER"S AND THE RONEY FAMILY AND I RECEIVED HIS CALL FROM PRISON AND HANDED THE PHONE TO MR. LIL GANGSTA ERN TO DISCUSS THE MATTER OF UPLOADING THIS VIDEO SINCE I"M OLDSCHOOL WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT THE PROCESS OF DOING IT MYSELF. Thanks again my friend for sharing this musical visual with the WORLD ! It's long OVERDUE !
Greetings to Cool C!
Why are you yelling?
Hurts my heart every time I come across Cool C and Steady B. Just can't understand where it broke. If they could have chilled and just been a little more patient ...they could have been enjoying a lot of the success many other member of rap royalty are enjoying. They were really, really good.
You said the word: BROKE.
They weren't making any money and got desperate.
The good brotha, my friend, Quran Goodman sent me here. He was so cute in this video. Never heard of this song until now. I like it.
For those that care and are unaware, today Dec. 15th is Chris's BORN DAY. He turned 54.

They should of filmed this video in Philly though....but it's a classic for sure !!!!!
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
They didn't film in Philly, they filmed in New York or something?
@@C-Lyfe85 Yeah they filmed in Manhattan New York ...!!!! It's okay though the song is still "All Philly" ....!!!
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
@@khingofswordz43 yeah, director was probably a New Yorker.
It definitely should have been filmed in Philly. Philly was actually responsible for putting on some New York acts.
I think Philly had the first radio stations to fully Embrace rap.
@@C-Lyfe85 I think you're right !!!!! I used to run with his cousin "John"..."John" told me somethings what they was doing to "Cool" while on the inside & "Steady B".....
@@C-Lyfe85 That is true because one of the first stations to bring hip hop was 1340 WHAT-AM and/or 990 The Wizzard aka WZZD AM and Lady B was instrumental in this.
Finally I've been looking for this always wondered what it looked like u can tell he's a good dude the brother was having fun in that video much respect from Boston
Dope
I had that red and white Vangrack sweet suit
Philly hip hop from the golden era...is certified dopified!!
our say this. i didn't grow up on cool c. 1990 i was 3 yrs old. its beautiful wen i see chicks with zero tattoos n a natural appearance.
Wondering if he still has any unreleased music?
He sounds like the fresh prince
I used to think he was the finest man on the PLANET lol. Looking back at this x years later, I wasn't too far off back then lol.
It's crazy how you can have it all in life and lose it at the same time.
This shit so rare! thanks man
Free Cool C.

HAPPY 49th BIRTHDAY BIG BRO ! YOU MAY BE OUT OF SIGHT RIGHT NOW BUT YOU ARE NOT OUT OF THE MINDS OF THE REAL ONES ! BELIEVE THAT !!!! GOD BLESS ! , ONE LOVE ! TO YOU AND THE ENTIRE RONEY FAM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This sound like it could have been on a movie taking place in 1990
Cool c new songs
Still listening
I have a copy too, that was given to me after I played his secretary in this video. Remember that day well. Driving around and around the same block.
WOW ! , thank you so much for sharing your behind the scenes story and involvement in the making of this music video. This video and song is a favorite of mine.
It was fun. Hot summer day, driving around with music blaring, dancers practicing their moves in the street...
shame he made the mistake he did
Before Will Smith right?
Dope !
Where is his 2nd album life in the ghetto?TH-cam took it off bring it back!!!
The very first to rap about glamour and fame! Far from a new york rapper. Cool C.
First rap I bought.
Who did it first? Too Short or Cool C?
props to the director
The flow is actually so good in this song, it just fits so perfect!
Crazy he did what he did
Cool c bro
He was having fun in this video does he have any interviews by the way he was fresh as hell
C locked been locked since 1996
Sounds something out of newyork rap scene 2:10
So who did it first COOL C OR TOO SHORT?
Imagine if he made a return in 2021 wonder what the song would sound like
Like the beat not bad song 0:42
I loved hip hop at this time. Its too bad that this dude threw his life away by committing a horrible atrocity. He had skills.
What he do?
@@DTM2K25 I think he robbed a bank.
@@DTM2K25 Shot and killed an Officer during an attempted bank robbery, on death row and Steady B got 35 yrs
Horrible atrocity??? Huh??? He robbed a bank lmao he stole all the money from the rich ppl he aint no bad person 😂😂

For all those that may not be aware ? , Cool-C's 2nd album "Life In The Ghetto" can be heard here : th-cam.com/video/tmR2fgHokzs/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
Tragic story of Cool c and Steady b. I think they should've been out by now. Death Row was too harsh
Only Cool C got the death penalty. Steady got life.

Wow! you right. Can hear it clearly
@@joannelittles6441 they all went to overbook high so it makes sense 😮
That's true but don't free him..... He murdered a cop that was a mother of two...
Hows he doin in the pen
@d24 slim WRITE TO HIM AND FIND OUT.
@ d24 slim It's his birthday tomorrow , December 15th , he will be 51. Did you ever get around to sending him that letter you said you were preparing to send him ? I talked to him this evening and he sounded like he was in a positive mind state which is always good to hear.
ktoescos I have been very busy lately if I can get the letter as I live abroad I will how is he doing during this pandemic
Cool C, like Will Smith, makes rap fun, easy to sing along to and doesn't speed up the pace with his lyrics like, say, Young M.C. and distances himself with the abrasive nature from Public Enemy's Chuck D and Flavor Flav. Also, his version of "In The Ghetto" sparks a more positive and less graphic message unlike Eric B and Rakim;s and Too Short's own versions. It adds on to the hope that there really is after all, and that's a good thing.
Before I sign off, I want to publicly announce that I am fully aware of his incarceration and number of stays of executions. It is not something that should be brought up and adds no place in this comment section. I want to make this bright and positive.
Why are you disrespecting Public Enemy?
@@saj8 Because they fired Flavor Flav for Pete's sake.
@@meyerj75 Flav is back in the group.
@@saj8 He is? That's good. He's the reason for PE's success.

Dam Will Smith's idol had to be Philly niggaz I got much love for
Why they blocked the agony of defeat that was my shit
He killed a police officer while robbing a bank and got death row..... Wasted Career
@@Demarcusken So what's your opinion on what Chi Ali and Shyheim did ?
@bigmarq2020 The entire 2nd album has now been uploaded. You can listen to it here : th-cam.com/video/tmR2fgHokzs/w-d-xo.html I'm going to type out the lyrics to "AGONY OF DEFEAT" EXACTLY the way CHRIS aka COOL-C wrote them out in a letter sent to me back in 2007 when he was at S.C.I. Greene in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania. They will be posted under the video link I gave you in the comments section.💯
@bigmarq2020 I just finished typing out the lyrics to "AGONY OF DEFEAT". You can peep em now. PEACE !!!!
steady bs pal
RIP
I guess the rap money back in the 1980s wasn't paying the bills

The fresh Prince of bel air copy this style
I definitely hear it. Wow
Free cool c hope he's doing well in prison
Cool c is dead tf is u talking about 😶😂
Izzy Coll he's not he got a stay
I just got a letter in the mail from Chris yesterday Monday June 4th 2018 ! , WHAT THE FUCK IS YOU TALKING ABOUT !!!! P.S. RIP M.C. Trouble . It's been 27 years since she passed on June 4th 1991. PLEASE KNOW THAT YOU ARE MISSED ! , NOT FORGOTTEN !!!! Another P.S. Yo ! , Izzy Coll ! , DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU GET ON HERE SPREADING FALSE SHIT !!!!
Can anyone write to him?
Yes , however PLEASE KEEP THE COMMUNICATION ON POSITIVE VIBES ! NO HATERZ NEED APPLY !!!! Here is the address : Christopher Roney # DF -1973 (1st line ) , SCI Greene ( 2nd line ) , 175 Progress Drive ( 3rd line ) , Waynesburg , PA. 15370 ( 4th line ) . If you decide to write to him ? , please tell him that his homie out in S.taying D.edicated , Cali sent you . Hopefully you can get aboard the team for the long haul ? It's always better to have dedicated homies that will send letters on a consistent basis. There's too many of those fair weather friends out there that write once and then are never heard from again. Writing to an inmate is a commitment and can really help lift their spirits and should be taken seriously . There's not too much to look forward to on the inside but mail is definitely one of those things that an inmate does look forward to as well as phone calls and of course visits ! Peace ! , god bless ! , one love ! P.S. Please write the address in the order I wrote it in the above message , 1st line etc. otherwise it will not make it to Christopher and will be returned to you. This happened to me when I first wrote to him 10 years ago because I wrote his address down in the wrong order. Another P.S. Thanks for showing that you have empathy for Christopher and care about his well being and setting the record straight about his execution status. Most of all I just want to thank you for taking the time out to inquire about writing to him. Most people jump ship at this stage of someone's life but for you to want to come aboard is truly a blessing for someone especially in Christopher's situation .
Sound to much like MC SHAN
Free Cool C!
They copied that run a power move on back round voice is Kaos and mystro! From Detroit
@ Got2getit20 Wrong , that voice saying : "Run a power move on em" is FLAVOR FLAV from the group PUBLIC ENEMY. He says that line on the song titled : "Miuzi Weighs A Ton" which is on their debut album titled : "Yo ! , Bum Rush The Show" from 1987 : th-cam.com/video/UMv5R2ioitU/w-d-xo.html Many other rappers and rap groups sampled FLAVOR FLAV'S various lines in their songs.
Wrong

@@calvingilmore9967 WORD ! , you know WHAT TIME IT IS and you didn't even have to sport a clock around your neck like our boy FLAVA FLAV !💯

@knucklegame5050 th-cam.com/video/pDInxKS_ZwQ/w-d-xo.html 🤐🖕
@knucklegame5050 I remember when Chris's aka Cool - C's 2nd album came out in 1990 titled : "LIFE IN THE GHETTO" This song was one of the singles from the album. Another rapper named Too Short released his album titled : "SHORT DOG'S IN THE HOUSE" that same year. It contained a hit single titled : "THE GHETTO". Since I was living on the west coast most of my area knew of Too Short and gave that cut a lot of play. However I was busy bumping the cut "LIFE IN THE GHETTO" by Cool - C. What's so strange about these two songs depicting life in the ghetto is that they both dropped during the same year and came from two artists that really had different styles and one was from the west coast and the other being from the east coast. But all those differences aside, when I listened to each of their songs it's crazy how similar they sound. Cool - C uses a faster beat to rap over and has a female singing the chorus : "Life In The Ghetto, Ohh Whoa Ohhh" and then on Too Shorts song "THE GHETTO" he raps over a slower sounding beat and has a male singing the chorus : "The Ghetto, Talking Bout The Ghheettoo". The baseline of the beat on both versions sounds VERY SIMILAR to me. I think you and other people that listen closely will agree. I actually only purchased the Cool - C cassette when it came out and only heard the Too Short version "THE GHETTO" when everyone around me was giving it heavy rotation in their cars and on the radio. From the information I've found on the internet Cool - C's album "LIFE IN THE GHETTO" was released on August 30, 1990. Too Short's 6th studio album "SHORT DOG'S IN THE HOUSE was released on September 11, 1990.The single for Too Short's song titled : "THE GHETTO" was released on October 8, 1990. Both of their albums were recorded during 1989-1990. I GUESS WHERE I'M GOING WITH ALL THIS IS THAT YOU SHOULDN'T POST SIMPLE IGNORANT COMMENTS SAYING A BEAT SOUNDS "CHEESY ASF", WHEN IN ACTUALITY THESE TWO ARTISTS MADE VERY SIMILAR SOUNDING TRACKS. ONE IS JUST FASTER THAN THE OTHER BUT THE LYRICAL CONTENT DELIVERING A DEEP AND POSITIVE MESSAGE IS ON POINT ON BOTH VERSIONS. YOU SHOULDN'T DISMISS A SONG AS BEING "CHEESY" JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT A FAN OF A FASTER PACED BEAT. BOTH SONGS ARE DOPE IN MY OPINION, LYRICS AND BEATS ON BOTH VERSIONS ARE ON POINT IN MY OPINION. HERE'S TOO SHORT'S VERSION OF "THE GHETTO" : th-cam.com/video/fw0uz88E2gI/w-d-xo.html God bless, one love !, peace !!!!
