By the late '90s, Coolio began looking like one of the only rap artists that mattered. With Public Enemy out of the picture, the deaths of Tupac and B.I.G., KRS-One doing Sprite commercials and every body else too busy dodging bullets to make music, Coolio found himself the default king of Hip-Hop at the close of the millennium. For his part, it seems Coolio would prefer the role of good-humored Court Jester. Coolio's stream-of-consciousness lyrics often follow disparate tangents to their logical (or illogical) conclusion, with rhyming the only prerequisite. Even so, he manages to get a couple of messages across, such as his comments on the duplicitous nature of the drug smuggler on "Nature of the Business" and his ode to true friends; "Homeboy." The serious nature of these topics is undercut by left-field touches like '70s R&B vocal group The Dramatics crooning "The Devil Is Dope." It's on the all-out party tunes "One Mo", "Throwdown 2000" and "Can I Get Down 1x" that Coolio's soul shines brightest. Rap, after all, began as party music, and King Coolio seems bent on returning it to those glory days.
