Notes

I was recently listening to Coolio’s hit single “Gangsta’s Paradise”, and while listening to the single, I interpreted that the eponymous paradise Coolio describes is entirely ironic. But I couldn’t help but wonder if a gangsta’s paradise does exist and what would it look like? Is it watched over by dead gangsta rappers like Tupac or Biggie that act as Gangsta Gods? Is there a Gangsta’s Hell? If so, what actions and morals should a man have to ascend or descend to gangsta heaven or hell after death?

I guess this was a major philosophical debate among rappers during the 90s, you can look into Tupac’s inquiries “If heaven got a ghetto” for further understanding.
