And to think Coolio just did all that without saying a single cuss word or the N word...
one reason i listen to NF
Glad you're not out there anymore.🙂🙏
Lots of "Fool!" though. Timeless piece of work.
@J Sawya Oh, interesting. I didnt even know there was an original 😋
Or degrading women as ho's and trash 🙄
It's deep. People be acting like it's not deep, just because it's a movie soundtrack, but it's real deep. Still gives me chills.
Yes, the lyrics are very deep!
Agreed
I didn't even know it was a movie soundtrack. I just remember my mom's boyfriend's daughter coming by one evening with this song on a tape, telling them they HAD to hear it and even my mother liked it (even though she doesn't like rap otherwise) and I loved it. :D Had no idea what he was singing about though. My English vocabulary at the time was confined to the alphabet, the numbers, some fruits and animals and "very funny" (or rather, "vewy funny", lol).
I have never listened to music period without being in tune with lyrics especially Hip-Hop. I wouldn't dare vibe to a song and not know what they was talking about. I thought that was the objective.
@@purposepassionandlovetv863 A lot of women loved Macarena, despite not knowing the lyrics. It was about a woman cheating on her boyfriend.
The only rap song that I know the lyrics to... once i handed this song request to the Karaoke player...he looked at me twice to confirm the song..I nodded in confirmation..needless to say the crowed were supportive of a 40 year old mom..rapping it flawlessly.. heheheeh the looks on their faces were priceless. :)
Great story! now I am curious to hear you rapping it 🙂
@@pontusschroder8361 right me too
You one cool lady 💕
👏🏻👏🏻
I wanna see this !!😁
A a 52 year old metal head...lol.. I have mad respect for Coolio then and now. This song is as powerful now as it was back in 1995.
The song is just as « powerful » as the movie (dangerous minds) from which this song is from. Have you seen it?
@@marcinmorun Yes I saw it, it was a great movie and the song fits. They don't make them like they used to.
As a 66 year-old white woman living in Canada, I have a whole list of songs that I can’t really relate to but I love them anyway and this is one of them
Me too. 56 year old white lady from 🇨🇦 ❤
Great song that has been on my playlist from the beginning - and I’m a 56 year old white lady from 🇨🇦. Love the message and still resonates today.
Me too!, I turn 56 in a week! 🇨🇦😂
Soon to be 43 year old white woman in NB Canada. 🇨🇦
52 year old woman also in Canada 🇨🇦
"Tell me why are we to blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me."
This track alone shits on most of everything in today's music industry real honest gangsta rap they dont front they tell it like it is and most important no auto-tune this track is immortalized
If you’re going to be a one hit wonder, you’d want it to be to a song like this.
Yeah this song is a MOOD!
but coolio wasnt a one hit wonder though lol hes got plenty of great music.
@@SwiggityPeanut that most people don’t know other than this track.
@@MissAngie25 You not wrong, someone I consider a fellow head didnt know Fantastic Voyage was a Coolio song and he knew the words lol
@@SwiggityPeanut Having plenty of great music doesn't mean you're not a one hit wonder. Gangstas paradise went nuclear when it came out, none of his other songs ever got big really. One hit wonder just means only one of your songs blew up
“Tell me why are we to blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me?” Those words are the most telling. Let’s wake up folks, there’s got to be a better way. Peace ☮️ on Earth goodwill towards men❤️
Sadly everyone took the exact opposite meaning from the song Coolio was trying to make. He was trying to point out that hood life ruined everyone and they used it as a statement of being hood. He wanted people to wake up and break out of their boundaries that entrapped them in a life that was quite literally killing them.
Just like everyone keeps saying to listen to Weird Al's Amish Paradise, but Coolie utterly loathed the song and refused to sign off on it even as parody. He felt the concept of the song was too important to ruin with comedy. And I personally agree with him.
I hope you get 100 million likes on this comment ❤❤❤👊🏻. So many people are still blind to what is happening around us. So many have nothing else to do but hate. As long as we stay devided by our differences of religion, politics, sexism among others we'll never change anything. But I have to believe we still can if we come together. If I stop believing that what's the point of anything! ❤✌👊🏻
Nice comment
I remember 1995 i was at high school when this came out. Seemed a much better, less fascist time than today. Shame no one listened
A mennnnn woooooo
Lol, as a 45 year old white broad, I still know every word of this song. That's how big that song was.
40 year old white girl here and this was one that always hit
39 year old white girl. Same. This was always the song that got everyone on the dance floor at junior high dances.
43 year old White Chick still getting down with Coolio !!!
I know what you mean. I'm a 43 year old rocker white guy and this song's lyrics are burned in my brain for all eternity.
Broad, chick ....why do you need to demean yourselves?????
Being a white rock musician I remember when this song dropped back in the day it gave me chills. If I’m not mistaken I believe this may be the song that propelled this genre to the highest production tier. I don’t remember any song before this one being produced so richly.
This song hasn’t lost any of its impact over the years. Still powerful
the song is a masterpiece of writing, rapping and music. While it spoke to the generation that produced the song and the movie it remains relevant today and that is the power of great music it doesn't matter the Genre the platform it will speak to generations, to people and it will live on well past the time frame that produced it, the song is a perfect example of that power.
ua-cam.com/video/1TLFnokO1Oo/v-deo.html coolio was weird al to Stevie but he definitely put a good genre spin on it
This 40 yr old white chick knows every verse, and sings along LOUDLY every time.
The looks I used to get doing Uber in Compton were GREAT.
Im 42 and fell ur comment! 😜
Girl, same!
@Lisa Waller Great music knows no age
42 year old white chick and this was my senior class song. Every time we walked in to an assembly at my high school they played this lol.
Hell yeah
This song has a personal note to me. You don't know how to stop a freight train in someone's life when they refuse to get off the tracks. You have to be a pitbull. Relentless to fight your way out. Find your way. It's different for everyone but it can be done.
Awwwwwwe.....Coolio - "Gangsta's Paradise".....brings back memories from the summer of 1996.
Me too......
Are you telling me that this Song is 25 years old?
@@ercsmusic1482 yup.
Lost my best friend,wont say his name due respect, he died from a drive by, and other friends had the same. I stayed away from that life, but i still think of them and i do miss them till this day. This song may be cheesy to ppl, but I listen to it to remember what i got away from, and respect to those that followed that path. Just stay away from trouble, be yourself but mutable ppl are there for you outside of the gangs.
I we played this song WAY back in the day when I was in marching band. Omg the crowd every time we played this would go crazy!!! Going down memory lane❤️
That's cool. 🙂
Too cool!
that's kinda what killed Coolio though lol it was too cross over in an era that hip hop crossover wasn't cool.. Well, that and when he admitted to having been a crackhead
I played trombone in marching band, jazz band and concert band we played it too and had the same reaction!!!! Glad to see another band person relate!!!
"He didnt knock " 😢😢
(People who have watched the movie will get it)
Rest in peace Emilio 😢❤🙏(Wade)
That made me so fricking mad....auuugh
O I know 😥 honestly if o would've been her the cops would have been called cuz I would've punched him
Because he didnt knock???? she was rightly so very mad, she was making progress thrn boom literally.
"What should I tell them? If they don't want to die, remember to knock?" :(
@@tonysanders2332 that headmaster was a dick lets face it, just wish he had stayed at hers longer and gone with her, she wouldnt let that happen:(
The fact that you showed us your goosebumps on this song tells us that we have been seeing the real YOU the whole time. You have been genuine since day one!! - thank you!!!
I’ll never forget when I heard this song. It blew my away. The music. The lyrics. Everything. By now you know I’m a musician. To me music has no color it’s all soul. It is so important to listen to everyone who has a powerful message. If we don’t listen nothing will change. You think you got goosebumps. The moment I heard this song years ago my whole mind and body was shaken. This is a classic musically and in Poetry. It speaks to reality. Thanks again for another great reaction to an incredible song.
Dude, I get goose bumps exactly when you do almost every time. The OG Gangster Rap Anthem. Amazing stuff. I loved this back in the day. Hell I love it today.
It was a good day- Ice Cube.-
Was my favorite back in the day
OG Original Gangster by Ice-T...just sayin!
This song is in the movie Dangerous Minds(if I’m not mistaken)
It is from Dangerous Minds. Mr. Video if you haven't seen the movie I highly recommend it.
Great movie.
Yes it is in the movie
Dangerous minds is such a white savior movie, skip it, even with a 90s lens it is bad optics
@@McSnacks930 If it's a good movie, then who cares if it doesn't tick all the intersectional/S.J.W./identity politics boxes? I guess we need to cancel it because it's not woke enough, huh?
Edit: I say, watch what you like, don't watch what you don't like, and leave politics out of watching movies/television shows. That's just my opinion, though.
“Power and the money,money and the power,
Minute after minute,hour after hour”.
One of my favorite!
90’s baby!
The 1990s was a kickass decade.
This song is pure genius in composition and execution! And the way Coolio delivered the rap in melodic fashion that just built and built towards the end….Well, emotional journey thru music!
The sample in this song is from Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise."
thank fuck for you - so glad someone giving Stevie his props!
Which Stevie borrowed from Bach's prelude No.2 in C Minor.
@@dagoelius I did not know that, cheers! Off to check out Bach now 🙂
@@dagoelius That is really cool. I did not know that!
Yep It's on one of Stevie's many great albums: "Songs in the Key of Life."
I just seeing you close your eyes and get lost in the music. Whether it's Tool, Mozart, Coolio, etc. I think we all love it, Brother!
Now i know what getting old feels like. It feels like watching kids hear the music i've loved my whole life for the first time. And now that im standing here on the top of the mountain....I couldnt be happier.
TLC’s Waterfalls has a similar message, albeit about a broader range of topics.
I like Unpretty by them too
And Weird Al does a cover of both 😆
I replayed that song for hours straight on my Walkman when it came out.
and if you wanna go oldschool, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five were saying it on The Message way back in '82. you can still hear 'the message' echoing through time in tracks like Ganga's Paradise, among others. and more people are listening as the years go on. but it takes time.
When you screamed “23!!” I died 😂😂😂😂
This song is a masterpiece.
Hard to believe it came out 25 years ago. And L.V. singing the chorus so sweetly...what a great song. I still love it!!
“ as I walk through the valley of shadow of death, I take a look at my life an realize there ain’t much left”. True , life isn’t promised . Not easy for many. Sad but true. Mmm this song can make one come back to reality and out of ones own daily life “ bubble “ of daily living where we are our own “ world/ universe “ and shows us that other ppl do still exist that there is a reality where ppl exist other than in our own lives. That bad things can and are still happening in a day to day basis weather it involves us or not... we get consumed in our own world and forget that others still exist and sometimes misery, mishaps, accidents and life threatening situations still happen and may cross in each other’s path, causing turmoil, death, pain and makes us wake up and connect to reality, the facts that things happen, that life is short/fleeting and at times painful. but we are not alone we can extend a hand to each other... though the song is sad it makes me feel strong instead.
This is a classic! Unique sounds & styles blended together with a powerful message. I gotta use it cuz it's true...
IT'S BRILLIANT!
👍✌❤
Your quote: “In order to get better you gotta listen, soak shit up.” That’s just genius! Seriously! That’s the way I try everyday to live my life... my philosophy... try to go into someone else’s world and understand where they are coming from and by being so open minded to appreciate all this awesome music you are listening to you are inspiring others to LISTEN to one another and do the same. THANK YOU!!!
Hell of a comment
❤️
Yup. I try to tell people all the time; shut the f up and listen to people worth listening to. You learn and realize so much.
The movie that connected to this song is called “ Dangerous Minds” starring Michelle Pfeiffer.
67 year old white woman here. Coolio! One of my favorite poets! Fine reaction.
If you liked the message of this song, then you would probably appreciate P.O.D.-Youth of a Nation. Pretty good message in that one.
True, very underrated song.
Great song
Yes
@@Speculativedude It was high on the list of multiple charts around the world, definitely not underrated...
@@CP110 I get what you are saying, but it usually isn't a song a lot of people think about. That's what I mean.
the brother in the background doing the chorus line is beast mode
Coolio went from rapper, to Chef, and Cookbook author. Dudes actually hella smart too! You need to check out the movie Dangerous minds. That song is in the movie, as well as actress Michelle Phieffer, the woman in this video. Another great video my friend, Anna
Shoutout from Sweden here! I love,love,love your reactions, you make laugh everytime! I think I’ve seen almost all of your uploads, but this is the first time I’ve actually heard you sing, and I must say that you really have a very good voice, hope to hear more! 💕😀
You should now to “Weird Al” Yankovic Amish Paradise since this is so fresh in your mind
Yep...do it
Love Amish Paradise 😂
Agreed 👍
Yes!
ALFRED!!
"23!?!?!?" That cracked me up! 😂
Hahahaha sammme
Yeah, he's not 23. The character telling the "story" is 23.
This is one of the most abused and misused songs I've ever heard. This isn't a song about promoting gang life, either real or the insincere version in pop culture. It's a testimony to how messed up it is, how hard it is to learn anything else growing up in it, and the damage it does both to self and community. It's also partnered with a movie that admittedly has some white savior going on but also humanized kids in inner city schools and tried to show that they aren't the lost causes everyone writes them off as. It's one of the few songs that I get pissed off about when someone sings along happily to it. Thank you for listening to the lyrics.
Much love and respect to you and what you do. Keep keepin it real bro. You're fantastic!
The best part of this song is that it doesn't have a single curse.
You can hit hard and deep without them.
Except this 2:55
@@illusion-of-choice Fool isn't a cuss word it's the same as calling someone a idiot.
Hell yeah, this song and TLC’s Waterfalls, same year, blew up!!! Both of them so socially conscious.
Waterfalls, maaaannnn... I haven't heard that song in a long while. Bet I still know the words though! I'm about to fo find out... thank you for the reminder!!!
Love that song!
I love that you did this! The songs message still resonates today.
The movie and the this sing are super deep. I watched when it came out in 95. Not a dry eye in the whole theater. Even the men where in tears.
- it was a good day- Ice Cube
Didn't have to use my AK, LOL!!!
@@jacqueline4514 right!!!
I think it's the best known lyric in gangster rap. Even people that don't listen to rap know the line
My name in lights on the Good Year Blimp 👊
@@jabreck1934 Ha! Yes, and it still sounds good!
Another vote for listening to "It was a good day" by Ice Cube
You're honesty is relieving and a huge part of what makes you relatable. I smoke with you every day. Thanks for the company and the good music.
Thank you for all your reactions!!❤ absolutely love your channel! Keep doing what you do!!!❤❤
As your channel has grown, I have witnessed you grow. I get a since of joy watching your reactions. I love experiencing those aha moments with you.
"23 !?!?!?! YOU LOOK OLD AS.." LOL Coolio was 32 at the time
Lol
Damn. And here I thought he was actually 23 in that video since I was a kid. 😆
He's telling the story of the kids depicted in the film.
@@vinniemoran7362 So there's 23 year olds in highschool?
@@Gutslinger Watch the guy (in the movie) he's actually singing about. He's no 16 year old.
This was my first hip hop cd.
I was 10 years old. Lived with my dad up to that point before he sent me to live with my mom. She had started dating all black guys after my dad. She was with this guy who had just got out of prison for 10 years. When I was older he explained to me he was og blood. I don't have any experience with gangs or being in one but it was pretty surreal going to the club with him years later and having dudes come up to him every other song buying him drinks and shit and just showing respect. I guess he was somebody to them. I mean he was to me too but not on that level.
Anyway, rewind. I was 10 years old, mom was visiting with friends (getting high) I was little white boy walking to the basketball court at the gov. housing with some of the other kids that lived in the apt she was going to (kids know to get out the house when shit like that's going on) and I fell behind for some reason. Can't remember. But I do remember looking down and finding this cd on the ground. Most of the cd didn't work because it was scratched so badly but this song played perfectly because I listened to it over and over and over again. I loved this song. My ears weren't trained enough to listen to that fast paced of lyrics yet. All my dad listened to was country and rock so rap was a new league. But even tho I couldn't tell what he was saying it spoke to me. I can't wait to play this song, amongst many others, for my children.
I showed the wife a couple of your reaction videos and she was rolling! Especially to your Ram Jam one. Appreciate the content and reaction vids. This one was long over due...I was 13 when it came out and it was my first exposure to the rap genre.
This was the JAM. I remember this playing 10 times a day, everyday on MTV during the summer of 95’, along with Shaggy - Mr bombastic. The following year all I remember being played on MTV was Bone Thugs - Crossroads and Tupac - California love
Stivie Wonder let them sample his song "Pastime paradise" with one requirement - there must be not a single dirty word on the song.
It doesn't always have to be dirty word's.
So excited you reacted to this, another great vid!🥰🎶👍🏼
Can we all just take a moment to acknowledge how smokin' hot Michelle Pfeiffer is??? 😍
she was on graham norton explaining how her kids get embarassed cos bruno used Michelle Pfeiffer that white gold in his song lol.
She was my first girl crush! Haha!
Awesome reactions Dr. Video I love your stuff bro
I just found your channel n love you! Your reactions are sooo legit, I love it!!
It's weird, listening to this song now hits much different than back then. The rap I listened to was the earliest days of Three Six Mafia, Trina, of course Ice Cube and Snoop and Dr. Dre, etc and before that N.W.A and so on. So I remember this song being much softer than it actually is, I guess versus the rest of what I was listening to. This is a REALLY good song.
This is true
This is hard when you put it against the music out now.
You should design a shirt that has your arm with goosebumps that says "Chills Activated"
Any graphic artists out there? Send this man this design

I'm no expert at photoshop, but I'm pretty proud of this.
@@BeverlyHighland Yes!! Please put it under regular comments so Leo sees it. I don't think he has time to read replies.
@@simplyamazed4059 will do
@ Beverly Hyland, that’s perfect. Hell it⚡️s Brilliant!!!
@@BeverlyHighland NICE!
You made me cry with this reaction. Love to you💕
One of my all time favorite songs!!! Chills when I saw you reacted!!! 💕
I'm a handicapped, Midwestern, white chick in her 30s and I still remember all the words to this song lol. Music in the '90s was so awesome!!
Me too, but south eastern.
Whoa...This takes me waaay back... Try "I wish" by Skee-Lo
Oh man... I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller.
I wish i had a girl who looked good, i would call her.
@@jerryhansen5116 🤣 I haven't thought about that song by Lil Troy in many years. Thank you for reminding me
So much talent in this song. the musical writing , the melody, the beat, bringing it all together to perfection. Then add the power of flow and in your face lyrics , man this is CLASSIC ! Love you ! Mean it !
Absolutely ❤ how you let these songs hit you my friend... You Are Brilliant my friend... this was an Anthem to a lot of us....
I just posted this on Facebook the other day saying it was one of the best songs ever. If it still hits you 25 years later it's a classic banger. This still hits. Sorry for the additional comment lol
LOL! Yeah, he didn't look 23 at all!
But it's such a great song! Coolio was very underrated in my opinion.
I Love 90s Hip Hop!
Love this. Thanks for the video, man
Yasss this is a classic. When this came out we all loved it.
Reaction Paradise! Another solid Mr.Video post, Leo!!
This song has been playing in my head the last few days. Glad you’re reacting to this. You have to do Weird Al’s version now, too. (You have an amazing voice, btw.)
I love your facial expressions Mr.Video!! And you know it's real and strikes a chord within you when goosebumps appear! Blessed be
i remember this was one of the first songs i heard. my dad use to be embarrassed to play it in his nicer neighborhood. litterally one of the best songs of all time.
Love this song! This is from the movie Dangerous Minds! Great flick!
Great movie, great song. 🌷
Great movie
I agree 👍
The movie was trash. I was one of her students. None of it ever happened.
@@Annonymous0283745 really? So LuAnn wasn't a good teacher?
Check out the movie Dangerous Minds with Michelle Pfieffer from the 90's, this song is on that soundtrack : )
Your doing you and your doing great. I love the passion you bring to your reactions ❤
Love your reaction. 💜💜💜
Ok Leo .. now your doing it !! (48) white female ... and this song has been in my playlist NO MATTER WHAT PHONE / IPOD / MP3 ETC .. device I have ever had .... WATCH THE MOVIE !!
suggestion Bonz Thug and harmony ...
CROSSROADS
Same!!!! Except I’m 41, but yes to everything else!!!
And yes please do Bone!!!!!
This won a Grammy for that movie. LV was from a gangsta rap group South Central Cartel outta L.A. in the 90's
Some years ago my daughter in law took my son and some friends to Vegas for his 30th birthday. At some point they went into a little bar. Coolio happened to be hanging out there. They all wound up playing beer pong together !
These videos always give me the quick pick me up that i need. Thanks bro
"HE'S 23?? 23?? I died laughing..
I’m a child of the 70’s, 80’s rap is the only rap! True talent and passion!
This was 90s rap
Great reaction, brilliant just getting lost in the moment and the goosebumps👍
This is the first reaction of yours I've seen. I loved it.
The original by Stevie Wonder is powerful and sadly, still seems relevant. Songs in the Key of Life was a monster album. Nearly every song a banger!!
I really wish you’d react to Aretha Franklin “nessun dorma”
One of the most famous opera singer was supposed to sing this song but ended up sick. Aretha stepped up and said: I can do this.. hold my phone!
And she slayed! I second this request!
Pavarotti did it justice every, single, time that he did sing it. Lui non dormiva mai. "Nessun dorma"...sempre nel mio cuore ❤
Wow man. Your reactions are just so human. And that's the best compliment, simply put... Thank you!
You are my favorite reactor,hands down.i love watching all your reaction videos!
Coolio is a real one who doesn't mince his words . truth bombs everywhere with zero warnings
M.V, The song is the theme song for the profound 1995 movie “Dangerous Minds”.
If you watch one more movie this year make sure that’s the one.
It is well worth the watch.
Man, I love your videos! I laugh so hard everytime, super entertaining. Best regards from Honduras!
I love your reactions my dude
Now you need to do Weird Al's "Amish Paradise." They say Coolio got butthurt about it at first, but eventually found his sense of humor.
He has no reason to get butt hurt when he stole the sample from Stevie Wonder.
Coolio did hate it though...
@@RyanREAX Coolio used the sample with permission from Stevie. Supposedly Coolio got butt hurt because in his opinion the Amish parody took away from and made a joke of the message in coolios song.
Weird Al didn’t mean to use the song without permission and apologized for it later. He was told by the record company he had permission, but by the time he found out there was a miscommunication and he didn’t have the blessing of Coolio himself, the parody was already produced and put out into the world.
This song uses Stevie Wonders "pasttime paradise"..great songs
Live your reaction
Hey bro haven’t seen one of your reactions in a while. You’re good at this keep it up!
You're the best for reacting to this legendary song. This song was my number one song for the longest. Probably for more than 5 years. I still love this song. 👊✌👍
