[missgotswagga1]

W.O.W MR STEVIE WONDER

[mabelxxxbsb]

For the ones that might be interested this song is actually from a movie called: Dangerous Minds from 1995. It's based on a teacher that comes to a High School and struggles with its African-American and Hispanic students, school back then was real hard to achieve since most of the students were into drugs, fights, and personal problems. They also treated the teacher like a piece of shit, actually all the teachers, they simply wouldn't get reasonable, or didn't care.

[pnolan892]

@mabelxxxbsb no one is interested though.

[mgsdini95]

at least stevie can sing in key

[rajawi9999]

i was child and i wasn't speaking english in that time: but i was telling my words with him when he signs:

games stem hose in live...baby nivir can't stay loving right

i was child in that time and i'm still signing it with my words

[WTurner859]

@rajawi9999 wut

[rajawi9999]

@WTurner859 game still the hose in live baby nevo came stay the house on live

[B4Dcomp4ny]

L.V - MASTER!!!!!

[grove407]

Coolio's Dreads never get old

[SteaIers]

@jsmithweyyy that's LV you idiot

[klevdud]

Lol wearing lumberjack shirt 14 years before it got cool. That's how cool stuff works.

[mrnavigation1]

@lingitgirl lmao..that's LV singing

[1998bloo]

@mrnavigation1 lmfao

[RetroDimeDiva]

This is when live performances were "LIVE" performances & authentic no playbacks,lip synching & auto tuning crap ....

[SombreroKing100]

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I take a look at my life And realize there's nothing left 'Cause I've been brassing and laughing so long That even my momma thinks that my mind has gone But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of You better watch how ya talking And where ya walking Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

[numberthirtyeight]

OH my god. That about had me in tears. Awesome.

[rlacios]

IMPRESIONANTE!!!!!!

[lingitgirl]

was that Gnarles Barley preforming too?

[bmanning95]

@chupan. No problem!

[bmanning95]

@chupan he says "keep spending most our lives Living in the past time paradise

[chupan]

@bmanning95

thx!!!

[chupan]

damn what does he say at 3:40? cant spending most our lives living in **** paradise

[WOOHOJEHA]

@chupan He says pastime, since that's the name of the original song by Stevie Wonder.

[chupan]

@WOOHOJEHA

thx a lot!

[CallumDaRocker]

I looked this up because of american dad

[TheSmootherCriminal]

so glad that had stevie wonder come in

[Davenortsmagic]

Somewhat ironic stevie asking why he is blind to see

[GeniusSelfproclaimed]

black people where so much cooler back in the 90's....now all almost all the black people have stupid buzz cuts, shaved heads or gay mohawks....ODB, SNOOP DOGG, COOLIO, and OLD BUSTA RHYMES had the sickest styles (haircuts)...

[jsmithweyyy]

what's Cee Lo Green doing up on the stage?

[Hung4carlo]

The song was about how people waste time fantasizing about paradise, when the world's going to shit. His lyrics should not be forgotten they have a honest message.

[septastic]

R.I.P TU PAC

[septastic]

R.I.P TU PAC 4EVER

[agapereign]

Nope. It was L.V singing all flat!! If you listen to the strings with Stevie, they are on point.

[JollaP1]

Standing ovation for a legend!!!!!!

[OTOWN2STOCKTOWN]

Woow Stevie with these guys epicness

[AsphyxiaAmy]

thumbs up if you a 90s baby like me :D 1992.

90s ....... where the music was still meaningful <3

[zane757]

@AsphyxiaAmy 1989 for me :)

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@AsphyxiaAmy 90s' <3

[TIKIMAN198]

I miss the 90's, it was my childhood, and singers actually sang and not lip synced

like that faggot Bieber.

[UltraMaXAtAXX]

Is it just me, or do the strings sound off in this one?

[nikchris69]

epic hip hop moment.

[nibbler1991st]

Stevie Wonder singing "Why are we so blind to see" poker face

[markusoberleitner]

@nibbler1991st

we really need some love explosion here

[MrStevland]

@nibbler1991st

Why not???



[alfamax4562]

Ok kidz... Now you can continue listening to Justin Beiber! 

[Talhi4ever]

28 are born in hell

[fandango352]

[EminemLatestNews]

[DRUNKyoungMan]

[LUDETUBE007]

I Wonder where he's now...

[ShadyD12killer]

Power in the money , money in the power minute after minute, hour after hour (8)

[placeboBSH]

Stevie Wonder is the man

[daigwil]

Just EPIC!

[SOLRAKIN]

Great!



[BigLiuKang]

I like LV, but if the original was sung by Stevie Wonder, it would STILL be on the billboard charts.

[chltmdwp]

this is why i hate live versions.

[SlApTaStIc0tv]

now this is real hip hop that will rebirth =]

[Tcete1923]

all lyrics of justin for one word of coolio ?...what do you say, thums up ?

[alebehram]

Tupac was better much better than this

[undergroundRO]

@alebehram Why are you listening this music? its not for you !

Stop commenting like that, why are guys like you always instigate at those kind of things?

"2pac much better than this" or other like "biggie better than 2pac"

Come on, listen the music, grow up, live you life and maybe then you will actualy feel the music and you wont comment like this !

[undergroundRO]

@alebehram you got 16 years kid, you were 1 year old when tupac died, how can you speak about smthing like that?

[94Stoka94]

Is LV also blind ? 

[hermy93150]

stevie's the beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest. i'd lke to say MISTER Stevie!

[FecskeDavid]

ah, who's that guy at 6:41? he's so familiar, but cant's recognize him though...

[dipset2690]

@FecskeDavid

FOR REAL? ITS STEVIE WONDER

[FecskeDavid]

@dipset2690 at 6:21 the older man from the audience, im sure he's a musician too, but it doesn't come to my mind which one us he

[fivestring]

@FecskeDavid

It's BB King

[FecskeDavid]

@fivestring at last, thanks ;)

[matrixcrash02]

Thats the best performence of coolio vs stevie i like this and thanks for uploading. In German: Danke, das ist der beste Autrit von Coolio und Stevie zusammen. Ich finde es toll und danke für den upload

[iGueymay]

Coolio defined art in his own unique way.

[TaylorTayMusic]

In any case, it's pretty impressive that Stevie did this.

[notafraid06]

Even Azekeal thinks my mind is gone!

[MrJamesdryable]

i don't feel much respect coming from Coolio and L.V. toward Stevie!

[snoopfelladoggydog]

@MrJamesdryable What is respect for you?you wanted them to suck stevie's dick?

[MrJamesdryable]

@snoopfelladoggydog it would have been nice!

[snoopfelladoggydog]

@MrJamesdryable yeah he wouldnt know the difference between them and bitches XDDD

[MrJamesdryable]

@snoopfelladoggydog are you hating on Stevie?

[snoopfelladoggydog]

@MrJamesdryable no man i love stevie.i'd be hatin on LV faster than i would hate on stevie XD

[MrJamesdryable]

OMG AT LIKE 3:15 I THOUGHT IT WAZ GOING TO BE OVER SOON, but it'z all good coz it's stevie.

[ELVIEJO334]

I'm a Metalhead and I love this song

[ChocolateSmurf2001]

STEVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!

[Rexco33]

In an odd way, the songs go together in a yin yang kind of way. Stevie Wonder talks of a paradise where everyone gets along, while Coolio talks of never being able to attain that paradise because no one cares about him, so has to turn to crime.

[fldoughboy72]

24 people don't know what paradise is! 

[ItalianBlackheart123]

@fldoughboy72 They think its hawaii lol

[MrBlackWolfX]

Long life to real musics

[alfamaniac13]

Am not a rap fun but i love this song!Fucking gangstas paradise baby!

[hakerqx]

Dear youtube, this video have a "dislike" button that have been pressed 24 times, but what the users wanted it was to click in "like" one.

Please fix it.

-Gustavo

[MandyMann86]

I love how both parties are payign homage to each other, LV is singing 'past time paradise' and stevie is singing 'gangsters paradise' its so sweet! It must be hard to change your own song. x

[Vmt16]

I'll say right now that I actually listen to metal, from Iron Maiden to Slayer. But I really like this song and some other rap songs. But what really made me go "WTF?" when I was just flicking through channels and I saw this video where this woman was singin "I need a doctor" and I stayed to see what was this. I was so shocked to see it was Dre. I mean I thought he did rap but that song, I mean wtf, it wasn't emotional it was like.. Selling out, Eminem was in it but he's going a bit pop too :/

[weakattheknees91]

@Vmt16 Iron Maiden is my favorite band; but isn't it sad that people like you and me cannot publicly say we like rap because of how rap is associated with Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy instead of those who rap with meaning and emotion?

[Vmt16]

@weakattheknees91 It is, even rap has its goods but most metalheads deem it all to shit

[weakattheknees91]

@Vmt16 Most metalheads are narrow-minded—and possibly mildly retarded—but my main concern is how little the population can recognize good music no matter the genre.

[Obliviatora]

I really wanted Stevie Wonder to sing the part "why are we-e-e-e, so blind to see-e-e-e":p

[vergilg]

@Obliviatora He does. Watch the video. And this is a tasteless, poor joke. You better hope karma doesn't exist.

[craigfromnewcastle]

Did that German call Mickey Mouse a cunt at 5:37? hehe

[craigfromnewcastle]

I'm offended at how little credit they give Stevie.

Fuckin standing in front of him, ignoring him.

It's his music you dumb shits.

[MandyMann86]

@craigfromnewcastle I know I was too! When you first hear him singing there is just silence, but I think the audiencce was a little slow on the uptake and didnt get what was happening. When he walked on there was applause, thank goodness! xx

[metallicorpse]

22 Gangsta Paradise Lost

[nickriviera2000]

Tremenda versión, gracias.

[theorientalpearl]

22 people been kicked off paradise

[ndrwplussine]

@theorientalpearl dude, did you listen to the lyrics? Paradise is a bad thing. You waste your life. So get off your chair and do something good for the human race, fool (but you can still enjoy music off youtube, nothings wrong there :))

[RAFAIL259]

the best combination ever Coolio L.V. & Stevie Wonder !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scatgurl1993]

Stevie Wonder the G lol <3

[KnightRyder1623]

Been spending most our lives, living in a pastime paradise

Been spending most our lives, living in a gangstas paradise

Ain't no gangstas living in paradise

Ain't no racist living in paradise

[freedomrider55]

@KnightRyder1623 Thats so true KnightRyder Continue living in Christ cause its the only way to live May God continue to Bless you Always.

[Timmevds]

@freedomrider55 wtf did u smoke?

[yellowdimellow]

@KnightRyder1623 thats not the message of the song !!! with gangstas paradise he dont mean the same paradise adam and eva lived in...

[matado0o0r]

this is wooooooooooow

[joeakalionheart]

find one rapper nowadays that stevie wonder would even consider good enough to sing with him

[alexad1347]

@joeakalionheart  eminem...

[mrinnervisionz]

@alexad1347 I don't think Stevie would fuck with M&M, because of the video,M&M made about MJ during his 2004-2005 trial! Stevie Wonder said,people like M&M were just piling on, & he said it was bull-shit! Hoever Stevie & Snoop did 1 of Stevie's classic songs, also SW did a joint with Bust a few years ago. S.W.= God of All Music!

[joeakalionheart]

coolio was the shit man while every gangsta rap song was about killin a bitch or every other word bein nigger coolio had fuckin beats for days and they were songs anyone could vibe to white or black this the one dude who never really got in serious trouble except for little shit he didnt walk around sayin yeah i shot this guy yeah i shot this guy too

[willcoopermusic]

This was before they cut people off while trying to make acceptance speeches.

[babamohsin]

the best rappers are dead

[tibby499]

@babamohsin nope ... coolio`s still alive ... :)

[SkyL1Ne2]

@babamohsin

You mean Tu Pac ?

[SkyL1Ne2]

@babamohsin

[SkyL1Ne2]

become cry and goosebumps when i hear that

Best song i´ve ever heard :)

[pinkangels89]

wow

[Sileni]

Old Coolio is better than the New Coolio, sporting a bald top. Did he flop or just living hard life after not being in the spot light anymore? ...Jeeze! I love LV!

[RecklessTortuga2]

what the fuck! this crowd should be jumping!

[br0dimi]

lyrics with meanin'

[pokethebadger]

I was only 10 when this aired, but I very vividly remember watching this. It's the only thing I remember from the show, and I've never forgotten it. Part of that's because I love the song, granted, but I think it's because of the extended version and Stevie's haunting vocals. Brrr. Still get chills.

[32a34a]

I would love to see Stevie do a Rap/Gospel song. There are

very few musicians that can carry Stevie's jock.

[9muscle9man9]

stevie's still the greatest

[Curttehmurt]

It's nice to see Stevie was apparently a good sport about Coolio sampling his song

[yupitsjessbbyx3]

21 people like Wayne and Drake

[junjlejimman]

Who can even go back to lil wayne after listnin to this? What kinda rapper is this real and not a poser these days?

[OmarioMufc]

Gangster's Paradise - Coolio feat L.V; best song ever created!!!

[TheChiggaaaa]

love this version!<3

[mateusbmedeiros]

I love both versions, and they just perfectly match each other on this...

[Deleg4t]

omg 21 Justin Bieber fans!

[morrisporris13]

I hope Coolio made enough money to get his hair fixed nice. I like this version with Stevie Wonder and the choir.
