Artis Leon Ivey Jr also known as Coolio was a Grammy award winning rapper. I remember listening to Gangsta’s Paradise all the time. I also got a chance to interview him and do an article on him. He was funny and down to earth. Glad to get to know his wife, she is also a down to earth person and loved that they keep it real. Here is some of my favorite songs by him:
· Gangsta’s Paradise
· Fantastic Voyage
· C U When U Get There
· What is an MC
If you ever watched the film Dangerous Minds that’s where Gangsta’s Paradise was on, and everyone loved that movie. Did you know he was on Celebrity Wife Swap? He also loved to cook. He was the cooking master. He talked about doing something with cooking that he was working on. He also had 17 million records sold worldwide.
I was Glad to get to know him a little and I definitely want to give prayers to wife Mimi and his family. They had a great connection, and they were doing a couple of videos you can check out online. So, quotes by him that I loved:
“Life is too short to not have fun; we are only here for a short time compared to the sun and the moon and all that”
“I want to provide a well-rounded perspective life”
“I am a winner; I win most of the time”
