This song appeared during the heyday of rap in the 90s, when gang fights were a constant in the United States, and has become a classic in history as one of the most successful songs in the world of rap. Coolio was inspired by his own life to write the song "Gangsta's Paradise." He had a difficult childhood in Compton, United States, where he grew up in a hostile environment full of drug addiction, gangs, guns and violence.
The world or paradise of gangsters. It was originally taken from Stevie Wonder's 1976 song "Pastime Paradise." Since the integrated and instrumental structure was written by Wonder, he also took care of the lyrics. The first verse, “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,” refers to Psalm 23:4. Coolio improvised rhymes and co-wrote the song with producer Doug Rasheed, but had to change some bars because they contained profanity and "foul language" (in the words of Coolio and LV) that Wonder did not like.
After the song's release on August 8, 1995, the American rapper's career flourished. "Gangsta's Paradise" is the first rap song in history to sell a million copies in the United Kingdom. Also available in France, United States, Ireland, Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, etc. He won first place. Certified triple platinum, the song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for over three months, was named Single of the Year, and won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. The clip was also nominated for Best Rap Video at the 1996 MTV VMAs.
The appeal of Gangster Paradise is “I'm 23 now, will I be 24 someday?” You can see it online. "I have my doubts about how things are going." The song was featured on the soundtrack of the film Dangerous Minds, starring Michelle Pfeiffer as an idealistic ghetto high school teacher. The basis of the song can be interpreted as the premise of the film. "What is the future of young people close to gangsters? Or, in the words of Coolio, "Why don't we see that you and I are hurting each other?" A message from generation to generation.
