100% one of the most iconic performances of one of the most iconic songs ever. RIP man. Taken too soon.

What‘s even more impressive to me is that the live recording sounds nearly 1:1 as the studio recording. Even the exact intonations. And no catching breath, no voice breaks, nothing.

0% autotune
0% swearing
100% masterpiece

This right here. This just shows his ability to give a full performance with the bare minimum. No fancy lights, no fancy voice modulations, no backup dancers. Just his writing/rapping, crisp vocals behind him, and a simple but catchy backing track. RIP Coolio. ❤

A lot of younger kids may not understand the impact this song had. On top of this being a huge hit, it carried a strong message. Sad that he's gone, but Coolio will always be remembered in Hip Hop.

Man.. I know Coolio was a genius, but LV's voice is just amazing.

[DHAIVAT-ALLCAPSWHENSPELLED]

The chorus has to be one of the most powerful that ever been made in entire music industry, straight goosebumps!
Rest well Coolio!

[raineheartily]

Love the fact that Coolie is very much naturally willing to share the stage.
He step aside when LV sings, stay in the side and even pointing to the singing choir.
