Sabias QUE?
Muere el rapero Coolio, autor de 'Gangsta's Paradise', a los 59 años
El rapero estadounidense Coolio, autor del éxito de 1995 “Gangsta's Paradise” y ganador de un premio Grammy, falleció este miércoles a los 59 años de edad
El artista estaba visitando a un amigo en Los Ángeles y fue al baño pero no salió. Cuando el amigo fue a ver cómo estaba Coolio, lo encontró inconsciente en el suelo. Los servicios de emergencia lo declararon muerto en el lugar de los hechos. La causa de la muerte de Coolio sigue sin estar clara, pero su representante ha explicado que las asistencias creen que murió de un paro cardíaco.
Nacido el 1 de agosto de 1963 en Pensilvania bajo el nombre de Artis Leon Ivey Jr., Coolio se trasladó a California y se unió a la banda de hip-hop WC and the Maad Circle en 1991. Posteriormente, inició su carrera en solitario en 1994 con el álbum “It Takes a Thief”.
Su canción más famosa, “Gangsta's Paradise”, apareció en la película de 1995 Dangerous Minds (Mentes Peligrosas) con Michelle Pfeiffer de protagonista. Esta composición le valió el premio Grammy en 1996 a mejor actuación de rap en solitario.

Fuck Bill Clinton, I'm still packin’ AK-47s and mini 14s,
‘Cause guns rule everything around me,
Fuck the cream!

Rest In Power Coolio. Obviously, the brother will be remembered for a couple of huge hits, but I’m glad he was able to hit the hood with joints like: “Dress Code,” -(as a member of WC & the MAAD Circle); “Can O’ Corn,” “County Line,” and his verse on Ice Cube’s “Color Blind.” Thank you for those relatable and well crafted rhymes sir. #ripcoolio #wcandthemaadcircle #gangstersparadise #fantasticvoyage #hiphop #westcoasthiphop #ripdjcrazytoones https://www.instagram.com/p/CjFHf5HueIt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
