Remembering Coolio (RIP)

In As most of the world knows by now, hip-hop list a legend in Compto’s own Coolio. I myself first came across his music when he was a part of W.C’s “Maad Circle”.Although he didn’t have a large musical presence on the group’s first album, he stood out because of his unique hair style. I was a bit surprised when I learned that Coolio was coming out with a solo album of his own called It Takes A
 Thief and that some critics were calling it a classic. Soon enough the world was treated to the album’s debut single “Fantastic Vouage” which was essentially a remake of the popular 80’s hit of the same name by the group Lakeside. I purchased the cassette in the strength of that single and found other gems like “County Line” and “Ghetto Cartoon”.

however it wasn’t until “Gangsta’s Paradise” was released that Coolio became a certified star. Another song that borrowed from a previous classic in “Pastime Paradise” by Stevie Wonder. Serving as the album title and lead single, “zGangsts’s Paradise” was also lead song for the movie Dangerous Minds starring Michelle Pfiefeet. The video for the song got a huge boost from the movie and it was played on NTV and every other outlet. LV from Siuth Central Cartel who sang the hook was soon added to the song’s credits. The album itself sold over 3 million copies and the single millions more. This was Coolio’s peak as his musical presence began to dim as the new century rolled in.

I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Coolio after I joined the music business. Our first encounter was in 2005 and was set up by a mutual friend named Jazzy D. This was an interview for WestCoastRydaz and he met our film crew out in a building near the Fix Hills Mall. Coolio shared stories and advice for new rappers. Our second encounter was in 3009 and it was for Allhiphop. Coolio met myself and my homie DJ Nik Bean out in Marina Del Rry. Over dinner I interviewed him again this time to promote a reality show that he was filming with his children.I’m thankful for those two opportunities and it saddens me to learn of his passing yesterday. But as I offer my prayers to his soul and to his family and friends, I also have to thank God for letting me have my small part in his large life. RIP Coolio. May you truly have a fantastic voyage.

Yung Lott enlists E-40, Black C of RBL Posse, & Mitchy Slick for “How To Survive” (Prod. by The Mekanix)

Over 30 years ago, Ice Cube released the classic “How To Survive In South Central” off of the Boyz N The Hood soundtrack. The Sir Jinx produced track had Cube rapping about survival tips in Los Angeles over a beat built around the late Roger Troutman’s “So Ruff, So Tuff”.

Rising San Francisco rapper Yung Lott felt that it was about time the Bay Area and San Diego had their say in the survival matter so he went out and got E-40, Black C of the RBL Posse, and San Diego’s Mitchy Slick for this new West Coast anthem. The Mekanix provide a Troutman inspired beat and West Coast Stone gets down on the vocal box. Tap in below!
