Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise was #1

And strangely, it was only announced today that he has made an updated version of it and will be releasing it in January.

Coolio made those remarks during a press conference in Milan, Italy, organized by SP Management – a show-biz company led by Stefano Pugnali – to present Coolio’s new video, a modern version of Gangsta’s Paradise. “It’s not a remix at all,” said Coolio. “We shot a video which is very different from the original and has updated special effects. I did it because my fans were not satisfied with the remixes made by other singers and asked me to do it. I think that I wrote at least 20 songs better than Gangsta’s Paradise but that’s what the market wants and I’m a businessman. We will launch it next January, during the fashion week, with a mega-party in Milan.” Co-star of the video is stunning Brazilian showgirl Juliana Moreira. The conversation went toward Muay Thai because former Wako-Pro world welterweight and jr. middleweight champion Diego Calzolari attended the press conference and asked Coolio if he knew that many Muay Thai fighters use Gangsta’s Paradise to get pumped up while training. Coolio’s answer: “Yes, I know and I can tell you that also many professional boxers use Gangsta’s Paradise as soundtrack for their training sessions.”


The press conference was presented by Italian showgirl Amalia Roseti and attended by Coolio’s nephew and fellow rapper Ghost Smoke and Bruno Cabrerizo, who had the second leading male role in the video.
