I only know the guy from the parody that Weird Al Yankovic did on his "Gangsta's Paradise" song ("Amish Paradise")

Apparently Coolio was angry with the parody at first but later warmed up to it.

Another death by sudden. Or fentanyl based death.

Coolio died of old age.

59 is ancient in “rapper years”

The bathroom floor seems like a favorite place for drug addicts and drunks to go to die.

He’s was the VP candidate on porn star Cherie DeVille’s 2020 bid for the Dem nomination.

Well, I’m not happy he’s dead or anything, but...

Meh.

Much better was AlGore Paradise.

Sure miss Shanklin and the Klintoon days.

I only knew him from the Gangsta’s Paradise song, itself, but the guy grew up not too far from where I grew up, and not too many years later. I’m an old white guy these days and not generally a lover of Rap, but that song is on my phone and listened to several times a month.

OK, it’s weird, I know, but I also like Amish Paradise!

Rest in Peace, man!

Oh damn I was just listening to Stevie Wonders album “Songs in the key of life” today. I never heard it before and noticed one song on it called “Pastime paradise” and thought “Hey that sounds like Gangstas paradise” then I realized like all rappers it was probably stolen, I mean sampled, from Stevie Wonder.

If it turns out that the cause is Fentanyl, will this be enough to convince people that our enemies are engaging in a long war aimed at killing the next generation of soldier, and not our current army?

Remember when Donald Rumsfeld famously said "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want to have?"

Our enemies have twisted that into "You will go to war with the army you will have, not the army you have now."

It's time to for the states to invoke the Aricle IV Invasion Clause and close the borders, if the Biden administration refuses to see what's really going on.
