Coolio states in video song was given to him from powers meaning witchcraft demons give them lyrics then sing thru them .Look at Johnny cash hurt for person doesn’t exist christ he is sure in lyrics and music videos Peter Gabriel salloway hills look lyrics coolio last interview basically was telling us demonic world exists trying get him do gay things
To the ignorant people who disrespect Coolio for using this song as a sample- he used this song with tact and grace. He explained in Gangsta's Paradise how horrible gang life truly is, and how the world he lives in has set him to be the gang banger he is. Truly, Coolio made a masterpiece from a masterpiece. Please understand how a sample works.
This one's very strong, though Stevie wrote many really powerful, meaningful and topical/timely songs. It’s hard to pick just one as the best. Superstition, Living for the City, Happy Birthday (to MLK), Higher Ground, It’s Wrong (Apartheid), You Haven’t Done Nothing. And then there are the several dozen “feel good” songs!
Dude? Don’t feel bad. I was listening when gangsters Paradise came out in 1996. The date today is September 26 of 2020... I just NOW FOUND OUT! Holy fuck!
Awesome song...although got to know it from Coolio's rap version which was a hit while growing up here in Kenya in the 90s. Both the original and Coolio's version are awesome.
great song Stevie Wonder. It reminds me of the ability to practice mindfulness and live truly in the gift of the present. I believe it is possible to make rational choices. Instead of living in the memories of yesterday and hopes of the future. It is possible to be fully present right now. The future is determined by the choices made in the gift of the present, not those of the past or the future :)
Wow...for the first time in my life, I realize that Coolio wasn't the original author. They sang Stevie's version during service at Elevation Church today.
Mutation going to miscreation makes perfect sense.the musicians who taught stevie were geniuses and stevie took it to a new level.anyone can not ryhme,but to give rhyme meaning and tie it all together is genius.If u can't find the meaning of this song you are probably living in past time:) paradise
Im always intrigued to discover the OGs where my fave songs were sampled/ covered from… usually, the OGs also sound good.. & for this one, along w Coolio’s, the lyrics (along w the dope instrumental ofc) just hits you too…😭😭
Another great Artist, multi talented and so humble, wrote a lot of songs to the track of my life , the guy can't see, but writes Lovely As A Summers Day. JAYA Si Stevie wonder.
It's talking about the return of Jesus Christ, among other random things. How people are thinking about other things besides the future which is about to happen.
After close observation, it seems Stevie knew about things that many of us are just learning about!! It's also a genius coup de etat to allow the lyrics to work for both the known and the profane. Actually , the whole Songs in the Key of Life album is written in that fashion. Ahh to be lulled to sleep by his inventive melodies--or snatched out of a deep slumber by the clanging symbols and thick gong of this song.
In the background is the hypnotic rhythm of Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Did anyone notice? 2:48
damn this gem was hidden from me for so long! i never knew this is where coolios song comes from! my life has been a damn lie!! btw this version is far better, im blasting this on my car!
Absolute Perfection. To many of us are relics of the past refusing to live for the future paradise. Pining for the days of old ie(MAGA). When only the evolution of your consciousness can save you. HOW MANY OF THEM ARE YOU AND ME? Red pill, blue pill.
This Song Pastime Paradise is Stevie Wonders original song from his album "Key of Life"! Coolio did not ruined this song! The rap song by Coolio is "Gangstas Paradise" is a song to Disneys movie "Dangerous Minds"! L.V. was the man behind the Ide by Coolios rap! See the music movie Coolio vs Stevie and you understand!
Much respect to Stevie Wonder for letting Coolie use the sample and respect to Coolio for his amazing art as well. Rip Coolio

Damn the lyrics in this song is too good to not be recognized
Sure this song more than amazing
I just continue to be amazed how talented Stevie Wonder really is...
From God's ear to Stevie's mouth. His gift to mankind: Stevie Wonder. Blessed.
So Eloquently stated!💎

Not like Coolio was culture (specially compared to Stevie). All respect to him tho!
Yung Toofqazzte Coolio took an amazing piece of work and transformed it into another piece of work. Hats off to both Stevie and Coolio ❤️❤️❤️
Weird All did the best version! LOL!
This is more of an interpolation.
Agreed, @Yung Toofqazzte
Stevie Wonder: 1976
Coolio: 1995
Weird Al: 1699
Lol
1699? I don’t get it.
@@onclebob2178 weird al made a parody called Amish paradise about no electricity and the like
@@onclebob2178 Weird Al's lyrics include the line, "we're gonna party like it's 1699" 🤣
Underrated comment
This is the best ever song he sings in terms of meaning.This song is ahead of its time.

Yes
This makes Weird Al's version a derivative of a derivative. I also plan on making a derivative of it, and hope for it to extend indefinitely.
Is that a calculus reference? If yes, then I understand
Kind of like Metallica's cover of "Whiskey in the Jar". They're covering Thin Lizzy's cover of it.
This song is a trigonometric function, as it can be infinitely derived.
Oye. How did i go so long without knowing where the coolio sample came from? Better late than never...
Andre Malik Well, I'm 9 months behind you on this one. Just found out. Oh yes, better late than never. Hallelujah!
Same. Lol. How was this song hidden from most? So weird.
I found out today
much later than all of you :/
Dude? Don’t feel bad. I was listening when gangsters Paradise came out in 1996. The date today is September 26 of 2020... I just NOW FOUND OUT!
Holy fuck!
I never knew gansta's paradise was a sample...
And as it turns out... I prefer the original.
Lol. Lucky I had parents that education me when Coolio's version came out, but I feel the same way about which I like better.
same
Lowkey same,one day i like this one better,one day coolio's.
What a surprise(not) most rappers bought their carriers on bought or most of the time stolen samples.
Awesome song...although got to know it from Coolio's rap version which was a hit while growing up here in Kenya in the 90s. Both the original and Coolio's version are awesome.

Amen
You nailed it. 👏🙌
Stevie would be so happy to see this
❤This beautiful!
I love you. Brothers and sisters. Unite! This song is almost haunting. These lyrics. Amazing. Stevie is the best!!!
А ведь эта песня настолько закончена, что невозможно представить что можно её исполнить ещё лучше
what a wonderful song ... my favorite album of all time ... Feb of 2017
Gonna listen to the full album soon!
7 years ago
This should be the new national anthem!
More relevant today than ever.
You forgot the best line of the whole song 3:12. "Shame to anyone living in the past time paradise." #TheTruth
There's a lot of people living in a pasttime paradise right now, they can't get beyond 1864, still fighting the Civil War.
sorry to disagree but at close to the end of my life I'll enjoy whatever I can. a lot of it is music. I wear my headset and don't bother anyone.
Out of the three most popular versions of this song, I would choose this one as my favorite, then Amish Paradise. Then Gangster Paradise.
This beat gives me goosebumps every single time
Stevie Wonder always relevant!!
His best song, I think. At least this one I like most.
+George Meladze Definitely his best song
I'll say it's side by side with "As".
Considering how nostalgia works nowadays, this takes a new light...
New music will never live up to this
Wow...for the first time in my life, I realize that Coolio wasn't the original author. They sang Stevie's version during service at Elevation Church today.
Ingeniously created beat...the measure, composition and time...extreme delight.
THIS IS WONDERFUL
Anyone else watching this in 1963?
anyone watching in 2065?
Just discovered this song because of coolios death R.I.P. also great song
Stevie didn't even know how Hood this beat really was.
Lycaon Ryuujin Stevie had bars
yes he did
Lycaon Ryuujin James Brown too. Certain beats were so far ahead of their times.
I think you mean he didn't know how AMISH this beat really was
The hood dont know how stevie wonder they are
A genius.
💚💚💚💚 best song !!!
Mutation going to miscreation makes perfect sense.the musicians who taught stevie were geniuses and stevie took it to a new level.anyone can not ryhme,but to give rhyme meaning and tie it all together is genius.If u can't find the meaning of this song you are probably living in past time:) paradise
Little Stevie is a wonder!!!
I like the coolios rap version BUT this is soooooo much better i never ever new from where coolio took that 😮😮😮😮
anyone who was as great as to inspie the king.... the king of pop that is.... is the greatest man alive!
Im always intrigued to discover the OGs where my fave songs were sampled/ covered from… usually, the OGs also sound good.. & for this one, along w Coolio’s, the lyrics (along w the dope instrumental ofc) just hits you too…😭😭
Another great Artist, multi talented and so humble, wrote a lot of songs to the track of my life , the guy can't see, but writes Lovely As A Summers Day. JAYA Si Stevie wonder.
Cette musique et ces paroles sont juste énormes.
So much so...
love this song!
Stevie is a genius...
It's talking about the return of Jesus Christ, among other random things. How people are thinking about other things besides the future which is about to happen.
So this is that legendary song, which is modified in gangstas paradise ,these beats r just dope
Coolio's cover brought me here, i gotta to say i love both versions of this song. R.I.P
After close observation, it seems Stevie knew about things that many of us are just learning about!! It's also a genius coup de etat to allow the lyrics to work for both the known and the profane.

Come back
This song is incredibly relevant now, condemning being stuck in the past and excessive nostalgia.
YES still in 2022!
Ironically this song is one example why past times really was something that we have lost
Just found out Coolio got his sample from Stevie...WTF!

Stevie Wonder got 95% Publishing over Coolios Gangesters Paradise
Make amarca great again?.... no... make people grateful again..... do not love this world...... (great is god's faithfulness )
After hearing this I will never look at gangsta’s paradise the same again 😆
What is old wil be new
won't be too long
I was now years old when I discovered Coolio's song is a sample from Pastime Paradise.
This Song Pastime Paradise is Stevie Wonders original song from his album "Key of Life"! Coolio did not ruined this song! The rap song by Coolio is "Gangstas Paradise" is a song to Disneys movie "Dangerous Minds"! L.V. was the man behind the Ide by Coolios rap! See the music movie Coolio vs Stevie and you understand!
