Coolio
Although Gangsta’s Paradise is certainly Coolio’s most famous song, it would be a crime to say that it was his only successful tune. The rapper had a career that spanned literally decades, even if he spent the tail end of it more on reality TV shows than in any recording studio. Nevertheless, we bet any child of the ’90s can at least still hum that immortal tune from the soundtrack of Dangerous Minds. Unfortunately, on September 28, 2022, Coolio was discovered unresponsive on a bathroom floor at his friend’s house.
EMTs unsuccessfully attempted to revive him with CPR, and he passed away at age 59 from potential cardiac arrest. The photo above was the last one on his Instagram account, which was captioned “What am I doing?”
