Coolio sums up his philosophy of life with, “I do what I do to survive . . . that’s why I pack a .45. Life is a b-ch and then you die.” He condones street violence and murder on numerous cuts, including the shooting of police on “Bring Back Somethin’ Fo Da Hood” (“Black cop, white cop [gunshot] f- the color of his skin; make sure he’s shot [gunshot]”). Lewd sexual references abound as well, often employing the f-word and referring to women as “bitches” and “hos.” He even tells a man to shoot a prostitute on “Ugly Bitches.” Of the disc’s 61 minutes, what isn’t sexual or violent promotes drug use. “Ghetto Cartoon” even defames beloved animated characters in gangsta style.
