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.

I'm 99.9% on the eff Coolio train as well. But I gotta reserve a little sympathy. Dude had one big hit, and it rested partially on creating an image of a hard 'street' existence, and this 'dork' comes along and utterly deflates his spot.
Kind of like if some computer dorks remade a Slayer or Megadeth hit on toy ukuleles and toured playing it in tutus and pigtails or something.
Hip hop is a game that eats its young. Today's MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice, is tomorrow's, . . . MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice. It's not unreasonable to be touchy about having your 'legacy' parodied.
