Spin8/10[11]

Spin gave the album 8 out of 10, and said, 'Today's rappers aren't interested in sharing any knowledge with outsiders. Coolio is the great exception... the most stylistically broad mainstream rap album you'll probably hear all year. Even upon first listen, it sounds like a collection of hits.'[12]

Entertainment Weekly ranked the album #4 on EW's Top 10 Albums of 1995, and said, 'The level-headed street philosopher, preaching respect for black women, fatherly responsibility, and safe sex... continuing in the great tradition of Sly Stone and Stevie Wonder... Coolio and his crew make the ghetto seem not just a place of desolation, but of hope.'[13][14]

Coolio Gangsta's Paradise Movie

The Source gave the album 4 Mics out of 5, and said, 'The crazy braided one brings skilled and insightful lyrics that reach and relate to all levels of the Black experience... sets standards that corny lyrics and catchy loops can't compete with... Few artists can straddle the line between commercial and underground hip-hop.'[15]

Musician said, 'Coolio ties his music to a message that's as deep as the groove.'[16]

Rap Pages gave the album 7 out of 10, and said, 'Maybe because he rapped for a decade with no props, got yanked on record deals... this cool-ass homie from Compton has stayed grounded... Coolio rejoices in the only life he knows.'[17]

NME gave the album 7 out of 10, and said, 'Instead of playing the role of the Uzi-toting big-shot, he adopts a more reflective view of urban life in Los Angeles... In doing so, Coolio takes a deliberate step forward from last year's light-hearted debut.'[18]

Lyrics Gangsta's Paradise

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
'Cos I've been blasting and laughing so long that even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Lv gangsta
Me be treated like a punk you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you're talking and where you're walking
I really hate to trip but I gotta loc
As they croak I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda G the little homies wanna be like on my knees in the night saying prayers in the streetlight
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
I can't live a normal life
So I gotta be down with the hood team
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams
Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
I'm living life do or die
I'm twenty-three now but will I live to see twenty-four
Tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Minute after minute hour after hour
Everybody's running but half of them ain't looking
It's going on in the kitchen but I don't know what's cookin'
They say I gotta learn but nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it how can they reach me?
I guess they won't
That's why I know my life is out of luck, fool
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Been spending most their lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Keep spending most our lives living in the gangsta's paradise
Tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me
Tell me why are we so blind to see that the ones we hurt are you and me
