Very cool, Coolio! I wonder how Eminem feels today. He initially gave Weird Al permission to do a music video for his parody of Lose Yourself, titled Couch Potato, but changed his mind just before Weird Al was finished filming it. Weird Al released a faked interview where he asks questions and Eminem's responses are clips of him from other interviews. It mostly centers around how much of a strong supporter of artistic expression he is and how he's against censorship of artists.

RIP to Coolio. It takes a real man to admit when you're wrong - props to him for acknowledging that. It's also hard to imagine anyone legitimately "beefing" with Weird Al as well.

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.

This was refreshing to read.

The story I heard was that Coolio had beef right up until he got his first royalty cheque. Because of parody, Weird Al isn't required to pay a royalty, but he does anyway because he's a class act.

This looks like a story of personal growth. I'm proud of you, Coolio

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

Every thing I read about Coolio makes him appear like a super down to earth, funny as hell chill guy. I'll never forget the hot ones appearance.

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.

He really was cool.

And it's not even really "his" to be mad about since, you know, Steve Wonder?

Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, where Coolios eat free.

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.
