Coolio’s ‘gangster life’, in the end cheaper than Niels Destadsbader: “It was making a career or going to jail”

Whoever says Coolio says ‘Gangsta’s Paradise’, his iconic song that is now 27 years old. The rapper, who died unexpectedly on Wednesday at the age of 59, describes how young people from disadvantaged neighborhoods often end up in crime. An autobiographical song, because Coolio was also involved in unsavory practices in his youth. After his period of success, he also relapsed into bad habits, resulting in arrests and lawsuits. Not to mention his debauched love life. “Do I have more than six children? Gosh, that’s possible, yes.”
