og Wonder ved og Grammy Awards 1996 sammen med L.V. "Gangsta' Paradise" har solgt over 5 millioner eksemplarer i USA, Storbritannien og Tyskland alene, og mindst 6 millioner på verdensplan, hvilket gør den til en af de bedst-sælgende singler nogensinde: Coolio optrådte med sangen til Billboard Music Awards i 1995 sammen med L.V. Sangen blev stemt ind som den bedste single fra 1995 i The Village Voice Pazz & Jop. Coolio modtog en Grammy Award for Bedste solo rap-præstation, to MTV Video Music Awards for Best Rap Video og Best Video from a Film og en Billboard Music Award for sangen og albummet. I 2008 blev den rangeret som nummer 38 på VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop. Sangen blev listet som nummer 85 på Billboard's Greatest Songs of All-Time og var den bedst sælgende single i 1995 på den amerikanske Billboard.

Sangen blev udgivet på Coolios album af samme navn og på soundtracket på filmen Dangerous Minds (1995). When Coolio won the Best Rap Video at the MTV Video Music Awards in 1996, he said in a press conference that Bone Thugs-n-Harmony deserved the award for "Tha Crossroads"." Gangsta's Paradise" er en sang af den amerikansk rapper Coolio med sangeren L.V. The music video for the song was directed by Antoine Fuqua of Propaganda Films, and featured Michelle Pfeiffer reprising her earlier role in Dangerous Minds. The choral lines (sung by L.V.) Tell me why are we so blind to see / That the ones we hurt are you and me offer an especially plaintive self-criticism. Many of the lyrics are very dark and tragic and are meant to be a criticism of the violence and tragedy of the "gangsta" life. Adding to some of the religious overtones are choral vocals in the background. The song begins with a line from Psalm 23:4 from the Bible: As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, but then diverges with: I take a look at my life / And realize there's nothin' left. Coolio changed the lyrics to be more relevant to life on the streets. "Gangsta's Paradise" uses the same tune, and a different orchestration of the same backing music. The music is a reworking of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise", a song from his album Songs in the Key of Life. The single did not repeat the popularity of the original with Coolio. This version did not feature Coolio, and featured additional lyrics written by L.V. released a solo version of the single in 1996 on his debut album, I Am L.V. In 2008, it was ranked number 38 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop.įollowing Coolio's appearance in the UK TV show Celebrity Big Brother 2009 Gangsta's Paradise re-entered the UK singles chart peaking at #31. The song was also listed at #69 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of All-Time. It sampled the chorus and music of the song "Pastime Paradise" by Stevie Wonder (1976). The song was voted as the best single of the year in The Village Voice Pazz & Jop critics poll. Coolio was awarded a Grammy for the song/album. The song was later released on the albums Gangsta's Paradise and Dangerous Minds soundtrack in 1995.
