Coolio was on Kevin and Bean this morning, promoting Cookin’ With Coolio. They asked him if he’d do weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc. and Coolio said yes. When they were surprised at this, Coolio clarified: “Everything is for sale, it’s just not on sale.” I dig it. He’s no different from Jay-Z, Sir Elton John, and every other superstar who accepts ridiculous fees to do private parties. It’s just a matter of negotiating the price.

Oh, he’s on sale.
He was good in the day. But that was a decade ago. He had that one single “Gangsta’s Paradise” in 95 and won a few awards for it. But then he put out like 3 more albums with nothing else but “Sumpin’ New”. Which according to my calculations, is now sumpin’ old.
He’s done some TV since then, but mainly appearances. He even threw a fit when Weird Al did the “Amish Paradise” spoof, which, if anything, helped Coolio’s career.
But a cooking show? The stir fry segment in that link was horrible. Just annoying with that guy in the background, who can’t tell a pepper from a tomato. That was some cooking-by-numbers. Is he gonna make pizza bagels at your bar mitzvahs? 🙂
Yeah, I heard about the Weird Al thing; that’s weak.
As for the cooking show, looks like it will be on Oxygen, the ladies channel. I guess ladies love Coolio.
