It was an empty success tho, kinda the way fetty wap owned the charts last year. Some folks can put out hits without having fans (kid ink being another example) or without people really caring about them.

No doubt, but you can't deny the corniness to them in retrospect. Kinda like "can't touch this"...or even some nelly songs, they're full of good memories but a bit cringeworthy

What's funny it is considered corny because of the video with the stupid ass everyone jumping out the trunk at the beach part but the lyrics are not all that corny or different than music at the time. I think people forget that Coolio was talking about Crippin on the record and he himself was more connected than your average 'hardcore' rapper.

I think some of the lyrics are corny (or maybe it was his delivery of those lines) and overall i simply stopped liking the song due to how played out it was. I haven't been able to sit through it since, the same thing happened with the fugees "killing me softly" whenever i play the score i skip that track.

Coolio was definitely popping like that..that song was probably the song of the year and it was anticipation built for that too hot and that 1-2-3-4 joint he had, it was a big deal being the follow up to gangsters paradise..coolio was getting love...esp on MTV ..he up and vanished tho..he was poppin one min, gone the next..

As I said already, it was more like Bad Boy's year... or should I say anything Bad Boy affiliated. Biggie had a bigger year by default, mainly because of 'Pac being in prison. Keep in mind that 2pac WAS the biggest story throughout that entire year especially his release and signing to Death Row, and it was without QUESTION he ran 1996 which pushed hip hop into a civil war. But who's the say that could of NOT happened in '95? But let's be real here, Biggie was having moderate success UNTIL that "One More Chance" remix hit that spring. He had several singles that were popping but nothing that catapulted him out there like that... the biggest Bad Boy hit at that time was Craig Mack's Flavor in your Ear and the remix. So, yes....BAD BOY as a collective was running the charts in '95 with the extension to Junior Mafia. But if you speaking about hip hop and the streets, it was WU-TANG that was ruling all of that. And if you speaking as the BIGGEST STAR of 1995.... that was COOLIO.
This is straight in context. Biggie ruled '95 moreso because Bad Boy was hitting and Biggie was the face of Bad Boy. But in truth, Coolio was the biggest star and Wu-tang ran the STREETS like noone biz...
