Talk:Coolio

message: What was the author trying to say here? The "too" is definitely a typo, but it's confusing to the reader if the rap was both humorous and violent, or just humorous, or what.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 40.130.239.4 (talk) 14:41, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  "The album received praise for bringing a humorous and lighthearted perspective too often violent and profane themes of typical gangsta rap.[1]"

message: I'm scouring the Internet for Coolio's cause of death after seeing his name in the Wikipedia "2022 deaths' page for this month.  I'm thinking there was a mistake considering there was a seal named Coolio at the Pittsburgh Zoo who died, not the rapper. Jason 72 (talk) 01:02, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

message: Good evening,
I am the eldest daughter of late America rapper Coolio and I see that there is some misinformation on his page. He has 7 children which only 1 is by late wife Josefa Salinas. His family would love if this was corrected. If you need documentation or anything to verify this information please feel free to let me know. 71.38.0.213 (talk) 07:25, 4 January 2023 (UTC)

Coolio's first tracks and music history is being left off his wiki page...why? 69.176.30.233 (talk) 15:06, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Coolio 1985 

message: The article doesn't make any mention of his film and TV career, despite displaying a rather lengthy filmography. The intro should probably say "rapper and actor." For example his small role in Batman & Robin was later confirmed as being the supervillain The Scarecrow who reportedly was supposed to return had there been a fifth Batman film in that series, etc. 2604:3D09:1F74:1C00:1176:D667:F804:28BC (talk) 13:47, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: Acting career

message: Given it's a subsection of "Music Career," I would assume that most of the mentioned appearances would be ones in which he raps or performs musically, but it doesn't seem to have any throughline. Personally, I'd reduce this down to only reference works in which he performed musical material originating in that work.
There is also a filmography section, but I agree that mention should be made in the introduction of his prolific film/television appearances, since he appeared consistently in media from 1996-2021. Aos Sidhe (talk) 17:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  What determines which of his television appearances are relevant enough for note in the subsection of Music Career?
