Coolio essentially squeezed 3 albums out of 2 albums worth of material. About half the songs from "Return Of The Gangsta" are on this album, and about half the songs from this album are on "From The Bottom 2 The Top". It's kinda a shameful business tactic,but I love Coolio, so I ain't mad, I copped each of them anyway.
At least the lead single from his last album, "Gangsta Walk" is remixed on this album rather than being completely identical.
If you're a diehard Coolio fan, then pick this up. If you just want all his songs and don't mind spending a little more money (because the other albums cost a lot more) just get "Return Of The Gangsta" (2006) and "From The Top 2 The Bottom" (2009) and just download a few songs from this album.
It kind of sucks because, while this album is a lot cheaper & you get a taste of his 2006 & 2009 albums, you're also being tricked into buying an album with recycled material from 2006 whose new songs go on to be recycled on his 2009 album which offers a handful of new songs as well.
I don't really recomened this album becouse half the songs are on his last album in 06! But it's really expensive so i bought this album instead.
