bien ces sons viennent de lui et alors.... Nous sommes toujours admiratif set amoureux de ceux ci. Qu'ils soient repris ne peu donc que conforter son géni!
the song is about people wasting time living in the past (with bigoted ideas, racism) versus wiser people who live in the present and look at the "future paradise" (listen to the lyrics)
Don't care what all ya say , I Love Stevie since I was 8 , so ya'll know I'm Old ,and guess what? I'm white, matter of fact I don't think I could live without my R&B ,and don't care who who likes or not. Happy New Year to ALL
Salut ! Je suis un grand admirateur de Stevie Wonder, et je l'ai connu en entendant ce morceau. Depuis, c'etait en 1981, je l'ecoute toujours et je n'en ai pas marre du tout...Merci pour partager cette video, c'est toujours un plaisir d'entendre ce morceau. Les 2 meilleurs concerts que j'ai pu voir etaient Stevie Wonder et David Bowie, tous 2 à Bercy. Pour les 2, comme j'avais de bonnes places, je suis resté scotché jusqu'à la fin au même endroit ! De grands artistes ....
Stevie is the best but i must admit that Coolio makes this song amazing, fun, young so gangsta....i luv both but i prefer Coolio version for real it's never get old and the beat is soooo good
@ Zolf2010 Eh ben j'ai dit quoi ? "L'originale du "gangsta paradise" de Coolio. Ce qui veut bien dire que celle-ci date d'avant le "gangsta paradise" de Coolio. Avant de laisser des com's de ce genre, merci de réfléchir ! Ah la langue francaise hein, c'est pas donné à tout le monde de la bien connaître ;) @ offyerrocker As i said it in french, this is the FIRST version of this song, you're right :)
i wonder how many people watched this video just to yell at the people who think that Amish Paradise or Gangsters' Paradise came first (WHICH I DON'T THINK).
I know that this came first, but I'm just thinking...
the Originals are always better, Stevie is the one. First version I heard was by Ray Barretto, very nice latin style, check it out. George Michael did one too, all before Gangsta Paradise came out. Respect!
I'm a child of the 80's grew up with this Album actually on 8-track! I feel ya! I got the Remastered CD like 5/6years ago now!?!? Love it! I was going to ask what keyboard did Stevie use on this Album for those grooving basslines...I figured that it was a Moog. But seeing the Mini-Moog in the 3rd Picture on this confirms it! John Legend has Stevie's SOUND on a song called "MAXINE"...I always loved THIS sound and of course ANY Synthesizer! Takes me back really Synths from the New Jack Swing Era!
of course it is, nothing beats the live instruments in the back!! I mean I love Coolio's track but I mean, you just cant beat this shit!! Not trying to beef, just giving my view. We cool.
@Loki0115 You must try the Ray Barretto's version available on my channel. It's a cool one but very different from Stevie Wonder. I like them both. Coolio, I don't like
I'm just gonna throw it out there that the man is a musician, and fashion is the last thing he's ever been worried about, his producers decide that kind of thing because they are less musically talented. (And have full use of their EYES, so they know what a fro looks like.)
Yes this is Stevie and not that d-bag coolio. Remember when coolio blew his lid because weird al made that cut amish paradise (which btw was way better than coolio's tripe)? how can you get pissed at weird al when you ripped stevie to the point that all you really did was change the lyrics. never liked coolio after that!
Totally agree with you. 'And Stevie has the kind of CLASS not to get mad at either one, (that I know of). I KNOW I drove my neighbors nuts playing this over and over. But no one ever complained! Tee, hee...
I remember that shit Coolio said to Weird Al when all along he wast tha thieving bastard!!LOL!! I met that fool at a party in Lancaster, Ca. he short'r dan a mutha fucka!!LOL!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
coolio didn't steal the song from stevie wonder you fuckin idiot!!...and amish paradise fuckin sucks it aint even funny its just stupid... n he had a reason to b mad..
SxPx310, think about Al's song as a parody of something really worth a parody. It actually makes as much sense as Coolio's song, except it doesn't glorify looserhood. Beside, it's a very good song. I enjoy it a lot.
@HairMetalxxx He didn't steal it. He gave credit and Stevie sang it with him. Credit was given. He just thought that it ruined the song. I would disagree but that's a whole other conversation.
Bien evidemment c'est le rappeur Coolio qui a samplé l'originale de Steevie Wonder ...Cet artiste est vraiment genial ....et plus que ça encore Il est tellement inspiré...comment un seul Homme peut -il avoir autant de talent ?C'est un Grand ...
