RIP coolio. I remember the last thing I heard about him before his death was via the podcast Search Engine. He was deep in crypto and was at some sustainability in crypto conference.
It takes a big person to cop to things like that, instead of doubling down. Whatever his reasons, we should all strive to be as open to admitting when we were wrong as Coolio was.
Every thing I read about Coolio makes him appear like a super down to earth, funny as hell chill guy. I’ll never forget the hot ones appearance.
I remember once I guest asked Sean if anyone had been seriously hurt eating the sauces, and Sean took a hard think and said, “We haven’t heard from Coolio”
Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, where Coolios eat free.
There are fewer songs that have been parodied by Wierd Al than have won Grammys, therefor making it the more prestigious accomplishment in the music industry.
You’re confusing prestigious with rare. Like how there are fewer albums that I’ve literally shat on than albums that have gone platinum, but me shitting on albums is rarer, not more prestigious.
They may have used the word wrong, but getting parodied by Weird Al is actually more prestigious than winning a Grammy. Not because Weird Al parodies are rare, but because he only parodies songs that are actually pretty good. I have trouble believing that if the song were actually bad, playing it on accordion with jokey lyrics would be an improvement. There’s no Weird Al parody of a Nickelback song, that I know of.
but because he only parodies songs that are actually pretty good.
Counterpoint: he parodied Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by the Crash Test Dummies.

(It’s also his most dated song.)
