Coolio - 1-2-3-4 (Sumpin' New) Lyrics

Coolio estate to release posthumous album 'Long Live Coolio,' final music video out now

NEW YORK — The estate of rapper Coolio  plans to release a studio album later this year that the Grammy-winning hitmaker had been working on in the days before he died.

“Long Live Coolio” will be the first posthumous album release from the “Gangsta’s Paradise” star and the first single, "TAG 'You It,'" dropped Friday featuring Too $hort and DJ Wino.

The raunchy single’s video — that begins with Coolio and Too $hort in a boxing ring as various women gyrate — marks the last piece of visual content Coolio appeared in before his death from cardiac arrest on Sept. 28, 2022, at age 59.

Coolio won a Grammy for best solo rap performance for "Gangsta’s Paradise," the hit from the soundtrack of the Michelle Pfeiffer film "Dangerous Minds" that sampled Stevie Wonder’s 1976 song "Pastime Paradise" and was played constantly on MTV.

The rapper would never again have a song nearly as big as "Gangsta’s Paradise," but had subsequent hits with “Fantastic Voyage” in 1994, "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin’ New)" in 1996 and 1997’s "C U When U Get There."

His career album sales totaled 4.8 million, with 978 million on-demand streams of his songs, according to Luminate. He would be nominated for six Grammys overall.

Coolio's Grammy win, and the height of his popularity, came in 1996, amid a fierce feud between the hip-hop communities of the two coasts, which would take the lives of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. soon after.

Coolio managed to stay mostly above the conflict.

"I’d like to claim this Grammy on behalf of the whole hip-hop nation, West Coast, East Coast, and worldwide, united we stand, divided we fall," he said from the stage as he accepted the award.

He released a total of eight albums: 1994's "It Takes a Thief," 1995's "Gangsta's Paradise," 1997's "My Soul," 2001's "Coolio.com," 2002's "El Cool Magnifico," 2006's "The Return of the Gangsta," 2008's "Steal Hear" and 2009's "From the Bottom 2 the Top."

He starred in a reality show about parenting called "Coolio’s Rules," provided a voice for an episode of the animated show "Gravity Falls" and performed the theme music for the Nickelodeon sitcom "Kenan & Kel."

How Coolio Took the Nineties on a Fantastic Voyage

By Rob Sheffield

Rob Sheffield

Goodbye to the late great Coolio , one of the Nineties’ top hitmakers, and one of the best-loved voices in West Coast hip-hop or anywhere in Nineties music. The Compton-raised MC died way too young on Wednesday night , at the age of 59. Coolio blew up in the summer of 1994 with his epochal hit “ Fantastic Voyage ,” a total game changer, making him an icon for his deadpan humor, wild braids, and playful beats. It was a blast of West Coast G-funk, but it was a dance-floor call to the party people, who weren’t getting much radio love in the doom and gloom of 1994. Coolio invited everyone to slide-slide-slippity-slide away to a more positive state of mind. Hits like “Fantastic Voyage” and “ 1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin’ New) ” made a lot of the negative creeps on the radio sound like they were faking it.

Editor’s picks

Every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history.

Coolio never stopped hustling, never stopped grinding. In recent years, he stretched out with projects like his family reality show Coolio’s Rules and his web series Cookin’ With Coolio , which was also the title of his cookbook, full of recipes for his “Ghetto Gourmet” cuisine. The self-proclaimed “King of the Kitchen Pimps” introduced recipes like “Bro-Ghetti” and “Chicken Lettuce Blunts.” As he told me in 2017 , “I can cook, man. I think that’s the one thing I can do as good as I can rap — I cook just as good.”

His Gangsta’s Paradise album had hits like “Too Hot,” a “Waterfalls”-like warning about safer sex (“What started off as a plan ended up in a plot”), with a disco beat from Kool & the Gang. “1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin’ New)” was a call to the dance floor — believe it or not, that was a more commercially risky move at the time than “Gangsta’s Paradise.” It was a tricky balancing act, but Coolio was good enough to pull it off — he could score party-hearty pop jams without sweating his rap cred. He put his keep-ya-head-up tribute to Black women (“For My Sistas”) right next to a song called “Kinda High Kinda Drunk.” He ended Gangsta’s Paradise with the one-two punch of “The Revolution” and “Get Up, Get Down.” Nobody did a better job of getting away with combining those mindstates like Coolio. He could show up on kid-friendly TV shows like Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and contributed the theme song for the Nickelodeon comedy series  Kenan & Kel , “Aw Here It Goes.”

Coolio kept scoring hits, like his 1997 dead-homies tribute “ C U When U Get There, ” rapping over a loop of Pachelbel’s Canon. And let the record show that he teamed up with country legend Kenny Rogers for their duet video “The Hustler,” a damn fine update of “The Gambler,” on an album with the most 2001 title of all time, Coolio.Com . He also dueted with Snoop Dogg on the 2006 comeback “Gangsta Walk,” from his 2006 album The Return of the Gangsta .

1 2 3 4 get your woman on the floor Gotta Gotta get up to get down Gotta Gotta get up to get down

What up everybody, so glad you're here It's Coolio wit' the flow back in your ear This ain't a fantastic voyage, but I'm still on a mission To see if I can get your attention

Now I wanst to drop some information Just a little additive to your education I live my life by the code of the funk 600 watt amps, 18's in the trunk

When I'm on the street, you gotta feel my beat, so Throw your hands up if you're down with the C Double O, L, I, O with the flow I'm lookin' for the party, so let a nigga know

1 2 3, it's like A B C If hip hop didn't pay, I'd rap for free Slide, slide, but that's that past I got sumpin' brand new for that ass

If you got beef, then nigga eat a pork chop Once I get it goin', you know it don't stop I break like anti-locks, panties drop From hood to hood, block to block

Help, I need somebody To get it goin' on in this party Baby you can do it, take your time do it right We can drink some yak and do it all damn night

My name ain't Wanda, but I'll rock your world Get more bounce than a jheri curl Too many looky loos be lookin' for clues There's a party goin' on, now whatcha gonna do, so

Grab your partner, do se do If you don't know who it is, it's Coolio Slide, slide, but that's the past I got sumpin' brand new for that ass

Push, push, in the bush But don't step on my toes cuz you might get smushed It's the brother from around the way And what I say I been comin' on three like Dr. Dre

Comin' at 'em with pattern an' a fresh pair of atoms I hope you don't trip cuz I don't want to have to gat 'em So move your body baby, drive the homeys crazy The way you shake that ass, always amaze me

Ain't no party like a west coast party Cuz a west coast party don't stop So when you see a young nigga In a Chevy hittin' switches, then you gotta give the nigga his props

I got size in my rise and the motion for your ocean Coolio got the potion to kick the party open Slide, slide, but that's the past I got sumpin' brand new for that ass
