As good as it ever was

If you listened to this when it first came out and loved it- you'll love it now. Coolio shows skill and smarts in the lyrics, as well as humor. Nothing greater than a Can-o-Corn! June 17, 2008

Coolio is in da house

It's the Hip hop's hair doo master Coolio on a debut album, my locc Coolio went from B.G. to Locc'sta from Compton, CA aka the CPT. Like I said on my review from Gangsta's Paradice, Coolio be blowin' on some Indo or some other type of funky gangee, because Coolio was the locc who released the ultimate house party groove Fantastic Voyage by far Coolio's dopest hit, County Line is a far out Dope song by my locc, Ghetto Cartoon is a funny cartoonished song with funny lyrics, and my locc has another good one called Ugly Bitches, what!? It's a true song by my locc Coolio.

Fantastic Voyage, enough said!

It's the Hip hop's hair doo master Coolio on a debut album, my locc Coolio went from B.G. to Locc'sta from Compton, CA aka the CPT.

Hair doo master's best yet is *1, *2, 3, 4, *5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, *15 & 16, did I miss any songs? December 14, 2005

Another superstar ganked by the industry

This album absolutely kicks the snot out of 95%+ of the music to come since. Picking highlights for this album is difficult but here's a couple:

Ghetto Cartoon: Coolio gives you a rather twisted urban fairy tale featuring all the WB and Disney characters, hilarious and deft.

Gangsta's Paradise: The title track to a major movie, and one of they very few rap songs that goes for 'haunting' and achieves it.

Mama, I'm In Love Wit A Gangsta: Told half in telephone conversation and all in style.

Just buy the album already. December 3, 2005

Not bad.

This album is truly a classic, with SOME good tracks like Fantastic Voyage, Smokin Stix. However, I found a lot of "filler" tracks on the album and probably would not buy it for any more than 4 dollars. When it's in my CD player, I find myself skipping several tracks in the album. August 5, 2004
