@@beastslayer2059 lol

fr rip

Your dad was moved, he was almost tearing up which is amazing. This is what music is all about. Rest In Peace Coolio.💗🕉🌺

Stevie taking all coolios money

That line definitely sends you a deep message

All the time

Ones apona time rap/ hip hop had a message to it sadly its not like that anymore very powerfull song

@@MrTimloco90 bruhhhhh I’m sorry but apona had me losing it 😂

🎯 🎶!

When did he die? How sad

@@amyturner6275 its been like 4 months💀

He is a one hit wonder, but that doesnt make him a bad artist

facts. /Bklyn👑

Thx for that

which turned out to be a huge favor (since it allowed the unedited version to be a public radio hit)

That was said in the vid but thank u anyways

I never knew that, never really paid any attention to there not being any cuss words. I love it though, it doesn’t need any.

and keep 95% of money

His first album was fire! Platinum for sure.

Let's not forget he also made a Hit Banger *See You When You Get There*. Maybe you should review that next.

1234 get your women on the floor

And lets not forget he did the theme song for The Kenan & Kel Show

I still jam fantastic voyage

Preeeeach. We need more people like Ky's father

Totally agree he's a cool dad...Every kid needs a dad like kai's...

Agreed. And I wonder if that is part of the reason he’s emotional at the end…because he previously brushed Kai off for this and now, listening to it with an open mind, found it to be a very powerful song.

it's an amazing song. so it deserves praises.

I came to say this🙌🏾

Coolio passed at age 59

May your dad's soul rest in peace🙏. This is one of the most iconic rap songs

Rest in peace❤

These words still ring true today. My heart breaks for my young kings and queens!

I’m 20 years old and it seems like a lifetime, I listen to a lot of old school rap, and it keeps me pushing trough this shitty life day after day, I’m thankful for music like this.

Me too

Listen to Shad. Canadian rapper. The old prince album is amazing oldschool.

I thought he would have mentioned that to his dad

@@kervinmckellar2684 Maybe he didn’t know 🤔

💕💕

Please watch the movie, fellas.

@@kervinmckellar2684I actually mentioned it to him, but because I went on a bit of a tangent i cut it out of the video because it wouldn't be all that interesting to the viewer! Uncut reactions are available on our Patreon.

Reason I understood this song I grew up the same way…

Summer ‘95 it was a big hit here in Italy

Therrs no hope for most of the people suffering from trauma

It’s not just the hood. I grew up on poor neighborhoods in 60s-70s and my mom pointed out how many kids never went beyond 5-10 blocks. There were kids my age who had never been to the mall. My mom was a teacher in the head start program in area and she tried to expose the kids to as much as possible because many of them came from poor immigrant families and parents were working to survive so it was the streets raising the kids. The worse part is these programs failed because you can’t just throw money at the problems. My mom would make home visits and actually took interest in the kids. She would do the lunch like “family style” where the kids were passing the dishes and using manners of please and thank you. It was always chaotic at the beginning of the year but her kids usually went the furthest in school and would come back and visit her. What’s sad is she was criticized by many peers for actually giving a damn and wouldn’t lower her expectations or standards for them just as she wouldn’t for her own kids. As she said being poor wasn’t an excuse for poor manners, having a work ethic, nor applying yourself and doing your best. Being poor isn’t a crime nor anything to be ashamed about. It’s not expecting individuals to contribute to society or to behave with respect for themselves and others. I grew up knowing that being poor didn’t define you nor your character and still know many families who struggle financially but have far more good character than many rich people I’ve worked for. But the cycle continues with crime and dependency simply because we try and treat the issues with money (that is actually stolen and not used properly - and instead goes to pork programs making greedy politicians wealthier) and continuing with the lie that poverty is the cause.

​@@carolynpeca2818 The way you described this is perfect and really hits where I feel it the most. I've grown up in the hood my whole life with a single mom, my sister, and me. We always just barely get by, but sometimes my mom goes hungry to make sure us kids eat. It's very, very comforting and encouraging to see problems such as these be spoken about truthfully and respectfully.

Awww cute

My dad's 68 and listens to the same pretty much, but I doubt he likes this song.

Yes!!! X

🤣😂🤣 I heard your Dad say the track didn't pump him up, which is true, it's a mellow track, but if you want your Dad pumped up play him any track from 'It Takes A Nation Of Million To Hold US Back'. Can't way to see him react Terminator X amped up production plus Chuck D and Falvor Flav energy blasting through the speakers! 🤣😂🤣 That would be fun to watch. 🤣😂🤣

Coolio and Stevie sang together on stage.... a must watch

RIP to your Pops 🙏🏾👊🏾

RIP to yo poppa He may rest in a choppa

🙏🏿🙏🏿

​@@UnknownShady 😂😂

I used to also! Music was one of our favorite things! He was my best friend... He completed his suicide 12 years ago (nov.16). I miss him immensely... It's so nice to see father/kid relationships in general but especially doing things like this.... I'm sorry for the loss of your Dad! My heart is with you 🖤

Yup the solo version is as good if not better

LV of the South Central Cartel

Do you mean the chorus singing in the beat?

@@ddffgdjfjvhdn4702 Yes.

Dang he did the orchestral background too? He snapped!

I agree, growing up without a father sucks. Im 28 years old still no dad

@@jamalalkaabi8 sorry bro. Keep your head up

Lmao hell no

@@TooChillery lmao back at ya

It’s easy to imagine black kids asking themselves the same questions even today

@jimmy neutron it is gay if you cry? wtf

100%

FrFr

❤️

@@frontroom can you please do a reaction to Immortal Technique- Dance With The Devil

🔥🔥🔥

Most definitely I love too

@@emmanuelceuz4484 they did it if u didnt see yet

Dad was singing Stevie in one of the previous videos so he may recognize Coolio sampling Pastime Paradise for Gangsta’s Paradise

Yes, that's true.❣ I just wish dad saw the performance Coolio did with Stevie on stage! It gave me the biggest goosebumps when Stevie entered that stage. Just magical!💜

The 1234 disrespect 🤣

Fantastic Voyage was my song

Hit ‘em high 😂

C U when you get there.

@@lordbunbury killed his verse

I'm a Loc'd Out Gangsta, Set Trippin' Banger” ~coolio~

❤️

Yes!! Those two are linked in my mind too. They tell one continuous story

Oh yes!

Yes Plz!

My thought exactly!

Yes Please!

50 isnt old ma'am

That's a bit much. Lol

Same!

Aho!

Yep.

Yeah i can relate to the anti mainstream statement. I liked the song back in the day when it came out but i was pretty young and just wanted to appreciate good music tho

Great recommendation! Yes, J. Cole is one of the very few "newer" ones, who can also tell great stories in his raps.

Yes exactly this. The energy of the song just goes right through you.

We've watched that, available on our Patreon. One of the best things I'd seen in a looong time! - dad

hes definitely a 1 hit wonder lmao. Go ask anyone, no one knows coolio but they know this song. Stop

He is not a one hit wonder..I like Girls.. 1234 ..see you when you get there..Vanilla ice is a one hit wonder

@@curto201 except old heads know who coolio is....

@@sangun123 And they only know 1-2 songs lmao

"one-hit wonder" it's the death of expression and the art, Please stop care about numbers...

Man that makes me feel old and I’m only 31. How old are you if you don’t mind me asking? Blows my mind that somebody somewhere didn’t hear this song until a year ago?

bruh how did u manage to avoid this song for so long

I recently thought to request MC Lyte - Poor Georgie. Something I was listening to the other day

I think he felt bad dismissing this song Early on when Kai was younger, idk just a guess.

His dad is him. Lol but Fr maybe he’s got a rough past and the song spoke to him.
