Not only did Coolio expand his sound, but his songwriting skills improved, as Gangsta's Paradise has very few weak moments. The album followed shortly afterwards, and it didn't fail to deliver on the promise of the single. Consequently, the single shot to the top of the charts and hovered in the Top Ten for many weeks.
Driven by an ominously deep bassline and slashing strings, the creeping, threatening funk of "Gangsta's Paradise" was the most chilling thing Coolio had recorded to date, but the menace didn't come at the expense of his considerable talent for immediate, catchy hooks.
Most of Coolio's hit debut It Takes a Thief was fairly upbeat material, but the appearance of the stark single "Gangsta's Paradise" in the summer of 1995 signaled a change in the rapper's music. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
