This is just plain BAAAAAAD.

Now, I'm not a huge hip hop fan, but the original Gangsta's Paradise is a decent, catchy tune, with fitting lyrics.....but then these douchebags decided to cover it (and I'm assuming Coolio gave it the thumbs up, as he's in the video...which makes me sad) I'll say this...if you make it through the entire thing, you deserve a reward for bravery.

eh, i think it's kinda funny.

they are a pretty popular act these days. i wouldn't buy it but i'm not into covers so much anyway.

also, i made it through the whole thing, i chuckled a few good ones and even got a belly laugh and an embarrassed facepalm and head shake in ;)

but again i thought it was eh. wouldn't probably listen to it on purpose again or anything but it's not my thing.

i'm more into modern metal and by that i don't mean nu metal....that's from before i even started playing guitar (circa 2001 END of nu metal)

Chuck, you do realize that (Un)Coolio lifted his Gangsta's Paradise Crap from Stevie Wonder, do you? It is Stevie Wonder who should give the thumbs up. But I agree, this is even worse...

Made it to :52. If you wouldn't have told me, I wouldn't have known it wasn't the original. It's all garbage.

It might be. I heard a comedian say it once. Forget who it was though.

:D I say we need another WAY MORE EXTENSIVE East Coast/West Coast WAR.

I'd actually contribute to arm them to the Teeth. Maybe they could wipe each other off the face of the Earth.

It's NOT that I hate RAP....























































Wait a minute I lied.

I DO HATE RAP. I see absolutely NO VALUE in it as a Music Form, or the People involved in it.

Here's the deal with music these days. A band back in the day had the opportunity and support to build up slow and gather a following have a chance to polish the craft so to speak. Now we have none of that. In today's music biz they just toss most of it out with no support \ production.

When a band does have a some talent has a few good tunes the songs get played so much people are so sick of hearing said band.. Truly sad!
