About an hour ago, I found out that Artis Leon Ivey Jr.—a.k.a. Coolio—passed away...apparently due to cardiac arrest at a friend's house in Los Angeles. My condolences to his family and friends.
Like a lot of other fans of the Monessen, Pennsylvania-born rapper, I'll always remember the song Gangsta's Paradise that Coolio did for the 1995 Michelle Pfeiffer film Dangerous Minds.
Not only is Gangsta's Paradise one of my favorite beats to sing whenever I did karaoke with friends, but this awesome rap song also made me nostalgic for the summer of 1995...when I started sophomore year in high school. I have great memories of 10th grade.
Here's the music video for Gangsta's Paradise. May You Rest In Peace, Coolio.
