This is the album that got me interested in hip-hop. "Gangsta's Paradise" is of course a big song, but it has a lot of sentimental value as well. I'll never forget roller-skating parties in third-grade and the way everyone would react when that song came on. But there are other strong points on this album as well, "Geto Highlites" is phenomenal with the Eazy-E and Magic Johnson references. "Kinda High, Kinda Drunk" is a great party song, and "Bright As the Sun" is a solid song about the ghetto birds. Even though he didn't say it as blatantly as N.W.A, don't get it twisted Coolio represented Compton too. But he was able to have fun as well, instead of just providing a soundtrack to chaos.
