GANGSTA'S PARADISE | Medieval Bardcore Version 

The lyrics contributed in some of these comments are truly outstanding! If anybody would like to record a vocal version for this (or any other of my tracks) please send me an email and we can collaborate!

You can take Robin out the Hood but you can't take the Hood out of Robin.

"As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain"

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain I take a look at the soil, and realise it needs rain But I've been milling and farming so long That even my lordship thinks that my mind is corn But I hast never crossed a Lord that ne’er deserved it Me, be treated like a serf? Well that’s actually heard of, Take heed what thou be prating, where thou be striding, Or thou and thine maidens might be for a lashing, I surely hate the King but I gots to work, As I plough, yonder village going up in smoke Fools, I'm the kind of Farmer little ruffians try to be like On thine knees in the night, sowing wheat by the moonlight Been spending most thine life living in a peasants paradise Been spending most thine life living in a peasants paradise Keep spending most my life living in this feudal paradise Keep spending most our lives living in this feudal paradise Look at the situation my lordship hath me facing I can't live a normal life, thou was’t raised by the wheat fields So I have to be strong for the plough team But too much maiden watching has me chasing dreams An uneducated fool with groschen on my mind Got my scythe in my hand and a gleam in my eye I'm a burned out peasant, but I still fly the banner Yet my grindstone’s wet so don't arouse my anger Fools, death art nothing but a plague rat away I'm living life plough or die, what can I say? I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24? The way the plague is going, I don't know… Been spending most thine life living in a peasants paradise Been spending most thine life living in a peasants paradise Keep spending most my life living in my lordship’s paradise Keep spending most our lives living in my lordship’s paradise Ploughing for the wheat, milling for the flour, Minute after minute, hour after hour Everybody's watching, and half of them are starving, “It's for the lordship’s kitchen!”, but I don't know what's cookin' They say “thou should learn”, there’s no baker here to teach me if I don’t understand it, who gonna feed me? I know they can't, I know they won't I know that buboes why I know my life is on the owt, fool! Been spending most thine life living in a peasants paradise Been spending most thine life living in a peasants paradise Keep spending most my life living in my lordship’s paradise Keep spending most our lives living in my lordship’s paradise Tell me why are we so blind to see That the king we serve would burn you and me? - a peasant, probably.

Rest In Peace, Coolio. Thank you for providing the inspiration for this absolute bop.

I ain’t never pillaged a king who didn’t deserve it.

700 years later... still an absolute banger!

As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain I take a look at thyself, and realize there's little sane Cause I've been milling and grinding so long Even my mother thinks my mind is gone But I hast never crossed a lord that hasn't deserved it Treating me like a serf, well that's actually heard of Been spending most our lives living in a peasants paradise Been spending most our lives living in a peasants paradise

“We living in a medieval paradise”: Sir Coolio 1239 AD

me after stealing a cheese in skyrim:

Party like it’s 999

This version is worthy of much recognition .. I am sure Coolio would be extremely proud ... RIP Coolio ... Forever remembered, forever missed

i hope you know Dan and Phil talked about this in their newest gaming video and made me listen, which made me realise this is so good

Me and the boys siegeing down a castle listening to this.

Been spending most art life's living in a Monarchs paradise

*Don't Worry, You're Not The Only One Listening to This Masterpiece in 1800!*

I really really hope Coolio was able to hear this version while he was alive!! I am sure he would of loved it! R.I.P Coolio!😔

Disregardeth maidens, acquire shillings

I like how every version of Gangsta's Paradise goes further back into the past.

RIP Lord Coolio, of House Gangsta.

I remember I used to sneak out to see the bards playing this 🥹🥹 time has changed sm

Burglar: *breaks in^ Medieval Big Smoke: "Ye hath picked thy quarry inadvisably, fool!"

Bandit's Paradise by Coolio the Magnificent

I remember bopping to this with the fellas at the 1466 summer festival. This was the jousting champion's walkout song. Simpler times man

I'm here because a legend has gone too soon rest in peace coolio he's definitely in the gangster's paradise now🙏

Me in skyrim: **kills a chicken* The whole f*ckin' Empire:

“We keep spending most of our lives in a feudalism paradise”

honestly i’m here because of dan and phil but this is one of the best things i’ve heard today (is anymore else here because of them??)

I've just discovered this genre and I think my depression has been cured by the music and the comments. I'm finally home. ❤

I remember riding a carriage back in 1072 with the homies and doing a drive by with our longbows

Everybody gangsta til the trebuchet starts loosin' its rocks.

It is with great sorrow to announce Sir Coolio hath perished. For he was a formidable warrior of melodies. For current peasants shalt not know his worth

Rest in Power Coolio....

Broke: Gangsta's Paradise Woke: Hoodlum's Heaven

When the witch doesn't die after burning for 20 minutes:

RIP Coolio ❤️🙌

RIP Coolio, What a Song!

"Everybody a serf until the group jester gets executed" -William Shakespeare

I'm just slowly sinking deeper into this rabbit hole of medieval covers.

What a legendary song, he will be missed Rest in peace, Coolio

dan and phil, what have you done

I wonder if we were able to somehow play this to medieval people would they like it?

RU-vid recommendation algorithm, you win this time....

RIP Coolio. You are in Gangstas Paradise now.

This hits different knowing Coolio just died. RIP, legend. You're chilling in the Gangsta's Paradise with the homies now.

The only thing missing is the cathedral choir

It’s actually a very haunting melody, when you just listen to it

I born in 1200 and this song makes me remember those old good days... man.... i miss so much those times

Rest in peace Coolio

When you expect the Spanish Inquisition.

"We keep spending most of our lives living in a Roman Emperors paradise."

Strangely the medieval version came up a day after Coolio’s passing.. RIP :(

RIP coolio

Why cant MY generation like this kind of music. I was born in the wrong generation. 1200s kids had it so good smh

Vikings when they find out monasteries are full of treasure and people that can't fight

RIP Coolio. 1963-2022.

R I P Gangster

imagine a medieval drive by using crossbows in a carriage.

Only real 800's A.D. kids will understand 😎👊

rip Ser Coolio may you resteh in peaceth

Coolio is listening to this rn

Squires when they say bad morning to the priest at the monastery

Before Gangsters Paradise there was Amish Paradise. Before Amish Paradise there was Medieval Paradise

Crusader's Paradise

is anyone else here because of dan and phil's newest video lmao

When Shakespeare starts rapping his sonnets. Edit: "Good lord, thy contributions to mine scripture are unexpected, but welcome. I hadst never thought a lowly bard such as mine self would attract the eye of so many at the round table."

Robin Hood has a different meaning now

R.I.P. COOLIAN

R.I.P Sir Coolio

I wonder if in the future people would see this as a real medieval songs

RU-vid is like the clear night skies. Everyday, you discover a new star.

I hope Coolio saw this before he departed for that great big Gangsta's Paridise up above... 😔

RIP Coolio

Subtly grabbing some of these songs to play whenever my players are in a tavern during dnd to see how long it takes them to realize what the bards in the taverns are playing.

The real theme of the plague doctor gangsta paradise meme

I can just imagine Sir Coolio performing this beautiful piece at the local tavern back in 1295. No wonder he was King Edward's personal favorite musician.

Medieval coolio: “Ye hath spent most thine life in a kings paradise”

Bubonic Plague: *Kills almost everyone in Europe* The Plague Doctors: Edit: I didn't expect for that many people to like

Mayeth thou rest in peace Sir Coolio

RIP GOAT

Me and my saxon bros after playing Grand Theft Horse

I've always loved the melody of this song. Thank you for making this version of it.

Just heard Coolio died and now this popped up in my suggestions.

Props to the Person who went back in time to record this masterpiece

Hip hop isn’t just conquering all places, it’s conquering all times

The Outlaw's Paradise from the feudal lords

If only coolio got to hear this before he passed.

This should be a Skyrim mod when you're in the Bars and inns.

Ahh, I can almost perceive those famed days of yore in mine mind's eye; when the Bard Eminem dueled vigorously with words of the utmost eloquence, and the Troubadour Kanye of the West wrote glorious sonnets that shocked the gentlefolk down yonder but pleased the licentious village maidens and tavern drunkards greatly indeed.

Love the Middle Ages, Dark Ages and ages of Middle Earth and Baroque form and this new Age Middle Ages songs! Really Amazing stuff, please keep creating these amazing songs!

listening 9/29/22. R.I.P. Coolio.

Whether the original Pastime Paradise, Gangsta’s Paradise, Amish Paradise, or this medieval cover, one thing remains constant. This melody fucking rules

I’d love to hear Hildegard von Blingen cover this song with those lyrics.

RIP Coolio.

R.I.P coolio:(

People in medieval: hey look, a rat. Plague doctor: *VIBING INTENSIFIES*

Wow this is so nostalgic... Reminds me of back in the day when I was just a simple peasant farmer working to appease my lord

Perfect music to listen when You walk through the valley where you harvest your grain...

Medieval Gangsta's Paradise: Robin from the literal Hood
