RIP Coolio

[Servant King]

59. I guess he's now in a gangster's gangsta's paradise, literally.

What's with all these not-so-old people dying? Very weird.

 

[AcesAndEights]

He lived to see “twenty-fo”

 

[doug535]

The Fantastic Voyage has ended. RIP

 

[bullet08]

Had to look him up. Not into rap, nor contemporary urban adult music or something. RIP.

RIP, I am not into rap either but I was a teenager during the 90s, hence his one song I know is permanently engraved into me.

I know, right? First the Queen and now Coolio?

Been spendin’ most our lives, livin…….with that song stuck in our head.

Though to be fair, the part we all remember was actually from a Stevie Wonder tune called “Pastime Paradise”

Mind-blown. I listened to it now and it’s actually better than Coolio’s tune!

wow any idea what did him in.

Officially...cardiac arrest. Which is pretty vague...I think they just don't want to have to say that someone pulled out a 9 and busted a cap in his ass. Doesn't flow quite like medical school jargon, does it?

He died like Elvis.

well he did smoke crack for a long time by his own admission. And that and other stimulants can cause very long term vascular damage. And really immediate damage to the heart its self. I guess I am saying that's sad and don't mess with that stuff.

Not exactly rocket science, is it?

Live hard and fast is The Plan, I guess...

 

[mikethompson]

I will have that song in my head all day now.

I had a friend in high school who played that song on a loop al the time.

Nope but at the same time some mistakes seem easier to fix then others and some mistakes seem to bite people harder decades latter then others. That crap hardens the arteries in a way that is kind of mind blowing. I remember when I was younger lots of artists from the late 60's and 70's dying at a similar age.
Then again David Bowie was how old when he passed?

 

[brian64]

I always liked that song Me and Coolio Down by the Schoolyard.

 

[Peter Turbo]

Damn never thought I'd hear about Coolio dying on a pipe smokers forum from a bunch of boomers who dont even know who he was

RIP King

He's on a Fantastic Voyage to Gagsta's Paradise. Guess I'll see him when I get there.

 

[Chasing Embers]

Met him at a Horror Convention back in the early 2000s. Seemed like a really friendly guy. R.I.P. Coolio.
