A few months ago I reviewed the soundtrack for the movie Dangerous Minds and wrote "the album is defined by and entirely worth the value of (the song) Gangsta's Paradise, and the rest is worth forgetting." While this week's #9 album Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio does have the song of the same name, it contains more hits than the movie soundtrack. In addition to (the song) Gangsta's Paradise, 1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New) charted quite well, as well did a cover of Too Hot.
This album isn't half bad. I'm not sure I'll listen to it much going forward, but I didn't find it objectionable. I suppose that's faint praise, but compared to soundtrack, it's much more worth your time.
