I know Coolio got mad over Amish Paradise. Al said that his people told him Coolio was good with it and so he released the song, but Coolio wasn't. But there wasn't really anything Coolio could do about it.

Honestly, **** Coolio then. Al is notoriously well known as one of the nicest, genuine, and humble guys in the industry. I don't care if you like or hate his music, the guy is a solidly good person.
I was totally shocked his last release blew up to become his most successful album to date, but I couldn't have been happier for a guy who deserves it.
