5.0 out of 5 stars something to ride to, September 7, 2000

By A Customer

Coolio starts you on a ride with a remake of Lakeside's "Fantastic Voyage," complete with smooth gangsta lyrics and a catchy chorus. It works wonders on a boomin sound system. Besides that the rest of the tracks, most of them anyways, are worth a listen, specifically U Know Hoo with W.C. and Ghetto Cartoon. But Fantastic Voyage is the best of the album......all I gotta say is "slide, slide, slippity slide......"

This review is from: It Takes A Thief (MP3 Download)

I personally think this is one of the best things that came out from west coast rap thru the whole "Deathrow, Ruthless" era. You gotta be really about your neighborhood and about your friends and family to understand this album since this album is kinda like Coolio's diary on how he came up from gettin high and being broke to puttin out an extremely good album. You can take the radio edit songs to see its worthy enough like Fantastic Voyage but you wont get the whole experience until you feel "n da closet" "I remember" "Can-o-Corn" "sticky fingerz" I feel really sorry for anybody from my generation who hasn't appraised to this album yet and if you can, smoke some....

4.0 out of 5 stars As good as it ever was, June 16, 2008

If you listened to this when it first came out and loved it- you'll love it now. Coolio shows skill and smarts in the lyrics, as well as humor. Nothing greater than a Can-o-Corn!
