Whatever Happened to Coolio

Every new year I reflect back on a man who changed my life - Coolio. Okay not really, but somewhere in last nights festivities Gangsters Paradise came on and got me thinking about what happened to Coolio.

Originally Artis Leon Ivey Jr (though I'm not sure "Coolio" is much of an improvement), he is probably best known for the song "Gangsters Paradise" (1996) which won a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance, and an MTV music award for Best Rap Video. And Since MTV music awards don't really matter essentially just the Grammy for it. 

If you don't feel like watching the video it features Coolio putting on and taking off sunglasses like he's Val Kilmer or something.

Nowadays Coolio is on shows like "Rachel vs Guy: Celebrity Cook-off." So really, not doing much of anything.

He was also apparently in "Batman and Robin" so that might be the extent of his acting career.
