I am a fan of Weird Al. I desided to listen to listen his "Amish Paradise" I fell in love with the music. I found out what he was parodying, that took me to Coolio and "Gangsta's Paradise" and the video description sent me all the way back to Stewie Wonder. Now I know where this.. heavenly music comes from. I love it in all three songs.
@6447912 "Gangsta's Paradise" video description sent me all the way back to Stewie Wonder too... I love both, I'll listen to the parody late if you say you love it it may be cool :)
gangsta's paradise was not meant to be like past time paradise it was a reply from what stevie was singing about but 10-15 years on. and werid al is just funny :)
The instruments are marvelous. Stevie does a great job at including the violin, congas, drums, and the live chorus towards the end. What a great end to a song. Stevie Wonder has a unique way of bringing life to a song.
I think with Stevie Wonder and Coolio's versions were suitable with each generation. Because from what I take from it was that Stevie wonder was talking about race issues and the turmoil in the U.S with teens during the 70s. While Coolio talks about the violence in gang ridden cities and what teens are going through today. Again this is what I take from it
@marchingtrojans what ahead of his time? Real music BELONGS to his (this) time!!! Nowadays you only hear covers and samples and remakes. Don't under-estimate the music of 70's and 80's!
so let me get this straight: Coolio's Gangsters paradise is a remake of Stevie wonder's past time paradise; and Stevie wonder's past time paradise is a remake of Ray Baretto's past time paradise...then who did Ray remake it from?
Not old enough to have known this before the Coolio shit. When I heard this, Coolio broke my heart. He became the entire family who's 10 year old stole my cash, and then her family tried to beat me up for taking it back. F-you, Coolio, you set a bullshit precedent. wish you the worst, race AND class traitor. "Gangsta" F-off, write your own damn songs. We love you Stevie.
It was just sad to see a mediocre artist like coolio did a version based on a legend or god in music. Only good artists should be allowed to do remakes or revisions. we wouldnt let madonna do the greatest love of all but would allow Jennifer Hudson to. Ill always love you from Dolly to Whitney etc
in most cases the artist usually hears a song and automatically has an idea what to do with it changing it a little bit is different than taking the song chopping it up speeding it up or slowing whatever fuckin wit the trebles and makign it sound differentyl and making a whole different song
when i sample records and u hear the finished product u cant even tell what song i took it from
in this case its just been made into a hip hop version which is pretty good if u ask me
you're a fool. I bet you love cover versions dont you. I'm sure old artists are delighted to get their songs sampled...free money if nothing else.
I would never know about this song if it wasn't for the coolio sample and now i search for Stevie Wonder songs. It increases awareness of old songs and that can only be a good thing. Make sense now Don-g? sssssssshh.
Which is why hippity hop sucks the fcking dick. It is not music. There is nothing musical about 72% of rap/hip-hop.
Please, go listen to real music. Stuff with notes, harmonies, and melodies, and other important stuff...like talent, originality and technical skill. Laying a 'phat beat' over another recording requires very little skill.
OR! Stop sounding like a bitter middle-ager and listen to the other 28% of hip-hop... like most of Eminem's "The Eminem Show," loaded with quality original compositions, for example...
The problem is that the other 28% is also lyric-centric. As for Eminem:
"..So come on and dip, bum on your lips fuck that, cum on your lips and some on your tits and get ready cuz this shit's about to get heavy I just settled all my lawsuits Fuck YOU DEBBIE!"
A real fucking master of the English language. I'd rather see some real TALENT than the ability to rhyme. I'm looking for music, not some white trash, drugged-out fuck shitting out of his mouth. Yea, it's catchy, but so is AIDS.
Only a self-pandering, sanctimonious jackass would pick a club single to analyze the lyrical content of a rapper... then again, you don't know much about the genre in the first place, so bless your simple heart for trying in the first place...
You recommended the artist and the album. Tell me, sir, which song I should have used to understand the musical genius that is Marshall Mathers. Nice cut to personal insults when the argument is about music. If the music can't argue for itself, it is garbage.
haha ok, with that logic, I can shit all over ANY body of work and claim that the music didn't speak for itself... funny how the ones who claim to see the most are really the blindest, I hope you're not this "holier-than-thou" in real life, or else... well, you prolly don't HAVE a real life.
BTW, find the mixtape "Eminem: The Freestyle Manual" to hear Em workin his craft at his highest level. Like you'll even look for it tho hah, fuck off...
Woah, hey, fucking ironic statement you make there: "funny how the ones who claim to see the most are really the blindest..."
The fact that an artist like Kanye West can take a song, tweak the levels, write a poem and speak/sing it to a shitty beat, and not only claims it's an original composition, but can win an award for it is absolute shit. Yea, it's catchy, yea it takes skill to rap, but it doesn't make it good (which is true for most genres, don't get so defensive, buttercup).
Even though as hard as I have had to dig for good, tasteful hip-hop, the genre in general is a pile of shit which goes for most of the music industry these days. Hip-hop has shown moments of greatness but honestly I have so little time it really is just not worth the effort nor am I ready to wade through piles of garbage covered in feces.
And when we can get back to discussing the issue rather than hurling pointless insults like a 4 year old who doesn't know better, I'll return to the convo.
And your opinion is SO valued and respected... that you offer it for free on the internet for anyone that will read it. Rock bottom's not bad when you never saw the light in the first place, huh? You clearly have so... little... time... you're literally giving your time away killer! I am too, but the difference is, I don't act like a self-pandering, sanctimonious sycophant in the process. Get a life, shit's pathetic, sweetheart...
Like I said, little one, when you can return to the conversation about hip-hop and quit slinging insults like a child sitting next to Webster's Dictionary, I'll discuss the issue with you..
Until then, please PLEASE continue listening to the wonderful collection of music you, I'm sure, have and quit filling my inbox with piles of garbage and worthless insults and I will listen to Eminem's Freestyle Manual.
*Short, but jerkish shiver* This song is haunting to the point where it's eerie, a bit murky, yet very pronounced. It's a song that sends chills down my spine as if someone poured ice-water down my back. I love this song! Coolio said he's blind, but he sees what people with sight don't see. He sees more into the soul than people with sight see into their own "reality". You can tell by what he said about him that he's got the utmost respect for the guy. I do, too! I grew up with his music. WOO!!
Al usually, though not always, triumphs. In this case, he beat the living crap out of Coolio, yet paid homage to Stevie. That is how W.A. kicks ass. Many times he has worked it so that we don't even need to know the original to appreciate him.
you know first i saw 'amish paradise' then i found out that "gangster's paradise" was the orignal, i was not surprised cause weird al does that a lot of course, then years later i find this! no offense to Coolio or Weird al but in my opinion this is the best 'version' of that song, stevie wonder is just great
Well, I agree with you, Stevie wrote this in 1976, so talented, that he came up with this, but then again, his album, "Songs in the Key of Life" has to be one of the best albums ever.
I sure hope my 'prez O' keeps the faith for class issues. He's not big-out on race (should be a non-issue by now, but isn't). My guy ought to at least put a crack in the system. American dream, my ass.

well if you knew your history, back in the 1800s black people in africa were practicly carnivores and acted, literally, like animals. I never said *all* black people are gang banging, where did I say that? I have black friends but the majority of black people online and in person act rediculous always talking about stupid shit like fighting and gangs .. I guess they still havent evolved from the primitve stage they were in when they were in africa
never said I was racist against black people, and "who are you to tell anyone what to do?" I take it you like the way the majority of the black people act and live? you won't like it very much when you are in the middle of a crossfire over "turfs" and get shot in the leg
fuck you niggers why do you always talk about gangsters and shit just stop acting like fucking monkeys and enjoy the song ffs I see a comment here made by someone saying that coolio should lay off this track with his gangster paradise and that comment got -10 ? wow fuck you niggers all you care about is being gangsters well get with the times this isnt the fucking jungle in africa anymore, we are a society now so go to school, and go to work instead of gang banging
Both Coolio's and Stevie Wonder's song's are bringing up the things that are/were being done to the black and hispanic communities in the U.S. For Stevie Wonder it was the segregation and exploitation. For Coolio, it's the media and government pushing kids towards a life of crime and gangbanging.
It must be easy to criticize from way up there on that pedestal.
Yes pissass2 you are right from your point of view. It' something concerning tastes: old romans said: "de gustibus non est disputandum" wich mean that we shouldn't discuss about tastes.
I prefer Stevie's style of singing and his voice but if you had to turn this into rap, Coolio did an amazing job, and even kept the spirit of the song intact. Both versions (yeah, I know, Stevie's isn't really a "version," it's the original) really touch my heart, in slightly different ways.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
coolios song is WAY WAY BETTER just because this guy sings his song a little r n b style witch isint right for this song.........but still nice song(would be better without r n b.........)
la sua voce è decisamente meglio di quella di coolio!!!!!!!anche eprchè lui ha una voce spettacolare!!!e così come le sue canzoni è difficile scordarsi di lui!!!!!!
yea i love this song i did a play one time and we had to dance to this song and it was real fun and i just Love Stevie Wonder he is a very good singer

well if you knew your history, back in the 1800s black people in africa were practicly carnivores and acted, literally, like animals. I never said *all* black people are gang banging, where did I say that? I have black friends but the majority of black people online and in person act rediculous always talking about stupid shit like fighting and gangs .. I guess they still havent evolved from the primitve stage they were in when they were in africa

never said I was racist against black people, and "who are you to tell anyone what to do?" I take it you like the way the majority of the black people act and live? you won't like it very much when you are in the middle of a crossfire over "turfs" and get shot in the leg

I think that coolio better put trash on his own things rather than touch a so beautiful song by Stevie Wonder.
It is poetry and no concerning gangsters and things like these.
cicciostar 3 years ago
Both Coolio's and Stevie Wonder's song's are bringing up the things that are/were being done to the black and hispanic communities in the U.S. For Stevie Wonder it was the segregation and exploitation. For Coolio, it's the media and government pushing kids towards a life of crime and gangbanging.
It must be easy to criticize from way up there on that pedestal.

Probably you're right.

Yes pissass2 you are right from your point of view. It' something concerning tastes: old romans said: "de gustibus non est disputandum" wich mean that we shouldn't discuss about tastes.

I prefer Stevie's style of singing and his voice but if you had to turn this into rap, Coolio did an amazing job, and even kept the spirit of the song intact. Both versions (yeah, I know, Stevie's isn't really a "version," it's the original) really touch my heart, in slightly different ways.

The REAL "Paradise" song. The ORIGINAL. A classic.
I swear to god, I may kill the next person who tells me I'm listening to Coolio when I listen to this song. Learn your bloody music, damn it.
