Jenny McCarthy had them thangs swinging :takedat:


but Coolio was winning grammys etc. MTV was following trend. Honestly though :yeshrug: all of those videos were dope. Even "doin it" with the peepshow concept was dope for the song. CA Love is legendary as is Crossroads.

I was 12. Everybody loved Gangsta's Paradise and all that, but Pac was the one who really was the favorite. This was the "keep it real era." Coolio had gotten so big that he became "pop," even tho he kept it G on the album cuts like Excercise Yo Game.

Peep how Coolio winning it over Pac was mentioned and responded to in this classic interview that night. Pac was the "real" winner but in MTV's world Coolio had the smash song.

coolio joint is a smash hit arguably bigger than any pac song

No need to preface breh. Gangstas Paradise moves over 10m units. No streaming, lol. In terms of pure sales there ain’t many artists fukking with that.

Pac’s biggest commercial hit was How Do You Want It.

Naw. Pac was still doing just fine without that award.

U know, Coolio is 1 of those artists u had to be there back then to understand how popular he was back then.

Jenny McCarthy was so damn fine back then. :wow:
