Before Coolio’s untimely passing, the rapper was to headline his first Vegas residency. According to TMZ, Coolio was in talks with Boombox!, a Vegas residency performance produced by Fan Rebellion, which is presented at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. Boombox! was ideal for Coolio because it specializes in classic hip-hop performers from the 1980s and 1990s and has performed with well-known artists like CeeLo Green, Tone Loc, and others. The rapper was going to have dancers and headline the show with his hits, “Gangsta’s Paradise,” ‘1, 2, 3, 4,’ and “C U When U Get There.” Moving forward, the production company says they will include a tribute to Coolio in future shows. Who is your favorite rapper from the 80s and 90s?
