Rest in peace sir.

There's this couple on tiktok that use his song "gangster's paradise" in their videos.... He even made an appearance for them.

Wow. He's finally gone to Gangsta's paradise - Death ain't anything but a heartbeat away.

Gangsta's paradise was my best rap song of the mid-90s. It was like a rap anthem to me back in secondary school then.

"I see you when you get there" was a regular blast in Nigeria from 1999-thereabout.

His songs were an integral part of the 90s rap culture. And he was quite a good cool-headed rapper. RIP Coolio.

Why are many black rappers dying before 60 years?

C U WHEN YOU GET THERE

You will be missed!!

C U when you get there.

He's finally gone to Gangsta's Paradise.

Journey well, Coolio.

You'll not be forgotten, not so soon, at least.
