Man, this country is going to H E Double toothpicks. We can't take this any longer.
What a talent. He will be missed.
So long, little buddy.

This is probably the only post in any of these stupid death threads that I've actually laughed out loud at.Man, this country is going to H E Double toothpicks. We can't take this any longer.

Impressed the hell out of me when he won an episode of Fear Factor years ago. Go to the 32 minute mark where he walks around a circular structure hanging 100 feet in the air. RIP.
Fare thee well, my sickeningly sweet friend from the 70's...
I used to love these things until one hot June day back in Virginia, when I stopped at a little store to get something to drink and grabbed a lemon Coolie from the cooler. I paid for it, and on the way back to the car, I shook it up, opened it, turned it up and a spoiled, gelatinous mess spilled into my mouth. The "best by" date on it was November of the previous year. I never touched another one after that.

I was always very impressed by how fast he could rap.
Kinda eerie. Chyna, Kelly, and Coolio all died within the last few years. Is this more proof that Donnie is the devil?
Where will we ever get lyrics like this again?
Oh yes, ladies, I'm really bein' sincere
'Cause in a 69 my humpty nose will tickle ya rear
My nose is big, uh-uh I'm not ashamed
Big like a pickle, I'm still gettin' paid
I get laid by the ladies, ya know I'm in charge
Both how I'm livin' and my nose is large
I get stupid, I shoot an arrow like Cupid
I'll use a word that don't mean nothin', like looptid
I sang on Doowhutchalike, and if ya missed it
I'm the one who said, "Just grab 'em in the biscuits"
Also told ya that I like to bite
Well, yeah, I guess it's obvious, I also like to write
All ya had to do was give Humpty a chance
And now I'm gonna do my dance
Definitely one of Seinfeld’s coolest characters. RIP.
Excuse me for not being in the know of all things Pop Culture, but, seriously, who the f*** is Coolio? If he actually had his 15 minutes of fame, when were they - 1995?
His Grammy winning song "Gangsters Paradise" (1995) is considered to be one of the top 100 rap songs of all time according to VH1. One hit wonder but it was a big hit and was featured in the movie Dangerous Minds starring Michelle Pheiffer. I am not a big rap fan but like that song.
Coolio’s ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’ changed the rap game — but Stevie Wonder had to be convinced to be a part of it
In the middle of the gangsta-rap heyday, “Gangsta’s Paradise” brought gravitas to the grittiness of thug life.

Tell Fred and Grady hello for me
Funny. But that is Shock G, aka Humpty Hump. Humpty died from a fentanyl OD a few years back. They put fentanyl in everything.I

Until 2008, I had never heard the name "Coolio". During my stint at Conexant, we hosted a Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) encryption key server and named it Coolio.
"What? Keys not downloading? Reboot Coolio". Heh.

This must be the first time you have viewed one of these RIP threads. 🤷♂️🤣
Showing my age, but I've yet to hear an entire rap song. Just cannot stand to listen to any of that crap. It physically causes such a bad reaction that I can't turn it off quickly enough. So, in my almost assuredly misinformed opinion, 'one of the top 100 rap songs of all time' is not something I'd aspire to. Before this thread, I'd honestly never heard of Coolio nor 'Gangsters Paradise'. Love these types of threads, though.His Grammy winning song "Gangsters Paradise" (1995) is considered to be one of the top 100 rap songs of all time according to VH1.

There's music out there for every taste and no one's taste in music is wrong.
Nope. But normally there is a close connection to a change. That was just horrible.
