    There are fewer songs that have been parodied by Wierd Al than have won Grammys, therefor making it the more prestigious accomplishment in the music industry.

    Coolio won me over when he changed his name to El Cool Magnifico half-way through Celebrity Fear Factor, which he of course won. He even changed his hairstyle to reflect the altered persona lol

    It takes a big person to cop to things like that, instead of doubling down. Whatever his reasons, we should all strive to be as open to admitting when we were wrong as Coolio was.

      This is who I always aspire to be. Big enough to forgive, but also ask for forgiveness.

    RIP coolio. I remember the last thing I heard about him before his death was via the podcast Search Engine. He was deep in crypto and was at some sustainability in crypto conference.
