Michelle Pfeiffer, Ice Cube, Weird Al, and More Remember Coolio

Nineties kids are in mourning tonight. Coolio, the rapper and actor behind “Gangsta’s Paradise” and the Kenan & Kel theme song, died Wednesday. The man born Artis Leon Ivey Jr. touched pop culture in myriad ways. From the inclusion of “Rollin’ With My Homies” in Clueless, to his roles in Futurama and Dracula 3000, Coolio was omnipresent for much of the ’90s. Coolio worked with everyone: the Wu-Tang Clan, Fran Drescher, and Kermit the Frog. As a result, he is being mourned across the entertainment industry. Kenan Thompson expressed his condolences on Instagram Stories, writing, “Wait, now Coolio!!” In a subsequent story, he added, “Damn, homie!!! Rest in Power!!!!” Even Weird Al, who at one time had beef with the rapper, shared a pic of them together in happier times. Below are just a handful of remembrances of people whose lives he touched.

RIP Coolio, whose one massive hit overshadowed a formidable run of classic West Coast bangers.

This is sad. A big talent leaving us way too soon. He did a cameo on Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but he was known for other things as well. Rest In Peace, Coolio. https://t.co/r98SuKYXzi
