I recently discovered that after a 5 year gap Coolio (you remember him? ) actually made another album about 1.5 years ago. Anyway, went and got it and there's this really cool, mellow, positive track on there called Sunshine.
I just transcribed the lyrics so thought I'd post some of them as they made me smile. It's not the same without the music however, so if you can, get hold of this track, it's bound to put you in a better mood! [img]smile.gif[/img] Artist: Coolio Album: El Cool Magnifico Song: Sunshine Typed By: ~Vaskez~ Imagine looking at life through rose-tinted glasses And the policy of the people is passive And all the women got fat asses And all the homies got dubs and deeds to spend And when the po-po's pass they wave and say "hi" And wear a grin (hey) And everybody that you meet is a potential friend And the women in your life love you for yourself and not your ends And the population's real so there's no reason to pretend And ignore we are the same, so no one hates you for the colour of your skin And every waking thought is one of peace and harmony and bliss That simple satisfaction like a plate of eggs and grits Senses fully alive like the feeling of a first kiss And when it's check out time you got a smile on your lips, huh And the whole world is like a next-door neighbour Quick to do you a favour even though we come in a million different flavours And I know there's not enough time to put it all in one rhyme So I savour the flavour and sweet taste I feel from the rays of the sunshine If love was a flower I'd spread the petals about the planet And plant seeds throughout every city and country Even in those who do not want me I try to make some sense of the situation that we call life Some, verbal illustration to help ease this strife Some, lyrical penetration to try to make things right In hopes that what I'm saying can saturate your mindframe And help you with the pain and the strain of the everyday struggle .... Before I continue let me make one thing clear Took me a while but there's three things I learned to put before my self and career God, family and my fans I wish that I could hold your hands And be like Moses, part the Red Sea and lead you to the promised land .....

Great stuff. I was wondering what happened to Coolio. Does he still have that hedgehog look ?

Yeah I think he does, at least the sketch of him on the album cover has it. Whatever you said about his hair, it was original Dunno why but for some reason I've really got into his stuff again these days, got all the old albums out "It Takes a Thief" and "Gangsta's Paradise". It seems the man finds it hard to make a bad song.
