Coolio in Concert
For more than three decades, Compton-born MC Coolio has been a standard-bearer of West Coast hip-hop — and he's shown that versatility is the name of the game as well. Coolio's 1994 single "Fantastic Voyage" blended sinewy G-funk with frank, wordplay-rich lyrics about poverty's toll on urban America, and its wild success (reaching No. 3 on the Hot 100) made him one of hip-hop's leading mid-'90s voices. A year later, Coolio flew even higher after releasing the Stevie Wonder-sampling, world-weary "Gangsta's Paradise"; as part of the soundtrack to the inner-city high school drama ‘Dangerous Minds,' it topped the Hot 100 and led Billboard's year-end singles chart for 1995, won the 1995 Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance, and scored the Best Rap Video award at the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards. The 1995 album of that name contained two other Top 40 hits, the groove-heavy party jam "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New)" (which reached No. 5 on the Hot 100) and the Kool & the Gang-sampling ode to safe sex "Too Hot." A year later, he recorded a theme song for Nickelodeon's sketch-comedy series ‘Kenan & Kel,' and in 1997 his mournful single "C U When U Get There" captured the elegiac spirit that had overtaken hip-hop in the wake of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.'s deaths.
In the years that followed, Coolio released music independently, touring constantly with the likes of Insane Clown Posse and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. He also built off the notoriety he'd achieved as a mid-'90s MTV staple and went Hollywood, regularly guesting on the game show ‘Hollywood Squares,' playing a demon on the witchy teen drama ‘Charmed,' and cameoing as himself in a variety of films and TV series ranging from the surrealistic cartoon ‘Squidbillies' to the horror comedy ‘Leprechaun in the Hood.' He also headlined his own reality series, ‘Coolio's Rules,' in 2008, and that show led to his other career as a celebrity chef: He's the star of ‘Cookin' With Coolio,' an online ‘Coolio's Rules' spinoff that focuses on his skills making "Spinach Even Kids Will Eat," "Swashbucklin' Shrimp," and other stick-to-your-ribs dishes. (It also spawned a cookbook of the same name.) Coolio's still cooking on the road, playing his hits and new tracks for audiences all over the globe.
Every group in the 90's House Party was awesome. They sounded great, danced strong and got everyone singing and dancing.
I really enjoyed each of the acts. Each performer brought a sense of nostalgia that made me think of my younger days. I really enjoyed the venue also. It was well situated with a beautiful view of the Toledo skyline. I really had a great time.
Got tickets for free had a great time would love to go again
he didnt play many of his top hits .. his management was in frickers afterwards making a seen demanding they get seated before everyone who had been there the concert over all was good just wish they played more of there hits
We couldn’t understand anything could not enjoy it
It was very nice .very well organized. I like that it is all cashless
I feel the drink choices need to be better. Not many to choose from and the ones that are available are not very good.
It was as expected as none of the artists had extensive catalogs. I couldn’t figure out why Coolio was the headliner, I left after his second song.
Coolio was such a disappointment all he wanted to do was yell and cuss not impressed at all
It was okay right up until Coolio took the stage and then it was downhill from there. I’ve never seen so many people heading for the gates before an artist does their signature song. Rob Base had everyone all hyped up and Coolio lost them all in a 5 minute span. I thought the idea of a 90s house party was going to be fun but it was just MEH. Try again next year.
