Gangsters Paradise is my default karaoke track. Sad news.
I’m sure you don’t look at all wrong singing it
RIP Coolio.
what, I can't see any issue with a bald white 42 year old man on stage singing gangsters paradise?!!
I don't give a fuck when it comes to karaoke, we went to one in Manchester the other day and no one wanted to go up when the place was mostly empty, so I jumped in and made sure that everyone following me was no longer worried about being the shittest act!!

It was only one song that I knew him for, but damn that was literally one of the most iconic songs of the entire nineties. I remember blasting it in my VW Beetle with amped up 6x9s and a Kenwood 10” sub good times

I bought his first album on cassette (or copied it off a mate, can’t remember which). Good music.

You buggar @nuttinnew - I sniggered at that.
RIP

Awesome video of Coolio at a student house performing Gangsta's Paradise, including the unreleased fourth verse and the whitest sounding performance of the song ever heard, after RichB's karaoke numbers of course
