Nobody seems to know. His Twitter was completely devoid of all that type of stuff, but he WAS doing shows during the 'vax pass' winter of 2021 -- though perhaps he avoided the 'pass' states.

I was disappointed to find out that Coolio never sanctioned Weird Al's Amish Paradise parody, and apparently he was initially pretty pissed about it. Coolio said "I don't appreciate him desecrating the song like that."

Weird Al said he wrote Coolio a sincere and humbly letter of apology in response to Coolio's comment. A few years later when he was asked about the spoof song Coolio said "That's an old subject. Basically I don't think about it anymore. I don't care, ya know. Much peace to Weird Al's family."

I read yesterday that Coolio was asked, maybe by Conan or someone like that, about that incident, and Coolio issued a complete and sincere mea culpa.

It was to point out the need to admit when you're wrong, as Coolio did, in the context of Biden's gang refusing to admit he was wrong when he did a shout-out for a woman who died last month, and whom he KNEW had died last month.

He was the kind of G this little homie wanted to be like for sure. (And by homie I mean small town white girl mouthing "as they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool" at the eighth grade dance.) I know nothing about his life since but I hope the religious orientation that song's lyrics suggested were genuine and he's gone home to the real paradise.

re: your bio, Eric Topol got basically ran out of substack on day one - his comment section blew up not the way he hoped so he shut down commenting immediately and lacks the courage to engage in real discourse so keeps it muted.

So sad. I don't listen to rap, but I loved/love Gangster's Paradise. Judging from the comments, I'm not alone in my suspicions about what caused the heart attack. You have to wonder what it will take before people start asking questions.

All governments (e.g. UK, Israel, USA) maintain detailed vaccination status of individuals. They know the mortality rates of vaccinated and unvaccinated. However, they will never disclose them for obvious reasons. Life insurance companies similarly have the data but they won't share after a German insurance company CEO was fired when he shared in public alarming mortality trend.

What is crazy about this blackout is many more (vaccinated) people will be harmed without intervention. E.g. D DIMER and EKG at annual checkup to screen potential adverse health issues.

Our Government (UK) paused a lot of data collection but personal (NHS) medical records will contain vax data and that is all up for sale to the higest bidder

How long can they continue to cover this up?

Perhaps as long as there's JMIGA Syndrome.

The folks who were fooled are subconsciously telling themselves; just make it to go away. They don't want to have to confront making that mistake.

I think the inertia from that may actually prevent all the truth from getting out. They don't want to know...so there's no appetite amongst the average person to be informed.

They're complicit. They're part of the cover-up now imo.

Bandit's avatar

"Now?!" IMO, they've been complicit from the beginning. Bought out by our evil government. Even when one of their own dies after their jab, there's no questioning, no shock, just that they're sorry to hear of their co-workers demise.

This kicked me right in the feels.

I have a lot of nostalgia for that song. Mostly from driving late at night.

Is it worth asking if he was jabbed?

SimulationCommander's avatar

We're probably about the same age. This is one of the great 'driving around finding an adventure' songs ever.

He was doing shows as of last week, so I'd expect that he would have had his 'required' shots to do so.

Edit: He was scheduled to play in Germany next week. Aren't they still requiring vaccination?

Edit edit: Looks like Germany dropped that requirement in June.

He says as we expect a winter of no heating due to lack of natural gas forcing prices up and possibly blackouts.

I'd lean more towards multi drug death like DMX, Nate Dogg, et al (11 years later and I am still shook up about Nate Dogg).

Cocaine has been making a comeback.

I was under the impression Coolio has been clean for a long time.

Michael DAmbrosio's avatar

I don't want to sound inconsiderate, and I really enjoy his music and persona, but he did struggle throughout his life with cocaine, specifically crack. Perhaps he has been clean completely since his last major incident, but even if that were the case, he lived life harder than most and making it to 59 was impressive.

I am a big Beatles fan. I grew up with it playing all the time. I only saw my dad cry a couple times. One of those days was when he picked me up from school in 5th grade and Lennon was killed. He seriously didn't know how to deal with it.

We didn't "miss" grunge just because we were still in high school. I was stupidly attached to Cobain and was as annoyingly mournful as every other girl in my school when he died.

You were born in 79' like my wife. Feels like nothing now, but at first it was interesting because I remember most of the 70's.

I mean, it's still a fair argument, he almost certainly played in a vax-required jurisdiction in the past 2 years.
