你好，我是莎拉小姐。莎拉醬。私は サラちゃんです。나는 사라이에요. I am Sarah Lu.

Coolio- Gangster's Paradise 
就說我是老西洋樂迷 哈哈哈哈

這首1996年收錄在葛萊美的喝彩這張合集裡
是說這張我聽到爛掉
剛剛寶妮傳了一首莫名的電台背景音樂要我聽
光聽前奏我就知道
馬上為她找來

Gangster's Paradise其實當年就是為
蜜雪兒菲佛演出的1995Dangerous Minds危險遊戲的主題曲

這部戲很好看喔...
女主角蜜雪兒菲佛
飾演一個退役海軍陸戰隊軍人
跑去當熱血教師的角色
因為是軍人退下來的 身手敏捷
學生跟他對尬單挑根本是找死
當然用愛心去關心也是一定要的
當年連得三項大獎

關於這首Gangster's Paradise
原來是取樣於Steve Wonder史帝夫汪達的"Pastime Paradise"

後來也被之前唱Nerdy我又白又宅那個主唱Weird Al
未經同意改編Amish Paradise

然後收錄專輯販賣被起訴

我個人是嘻哈掛的
所以我喜歡酷力歐的版本 超正點 
國中有一段時間偷練這首歌
到現在還會小小地哼哼唱唱!!!
饒舌歌裡很少不罵髒話
要聽不帶髒字的饒舌歌很難
Gangster's Paradise就是一首乾淨的Rap經典

Gangster's Paradise 歌詞:
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life
And realize there's nothin' left
'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long that,
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You betta watch how ya talking
And where ya walking
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk

I really hate to trip but I gotta lope
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke, fool
I'm the kinda g that little homie's wanna be like
On my knees in the night
Saying prayers in the street light

Been spending most their lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise (x2)

Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise (x2)

Look at the situation, they got me facing
I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the state
So I gotta be down with the 'hood team
Too much television watching, got me chasing dreams
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my tin in my hand and a gleam in my eye
I'm a loced out gangsta, set trippin banger
And my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
death ain't nothing but a heart beat away
I'm living life do or die, what can I say?
I'm twenty-three now, but will I live to see twenty-four?
The way things is going I don't know.

Tell me why are we so blind to see
That the ones we hurt are you and me?

Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise(x2)

Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise(x2)

Power and the money, money and the power
Minute after minute, hour after hour 我喜歡這裡哈哈
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
What's going on in the kitchen?
But I don't know what's cooking.
They say I gotta learn
But nobody's here to teach me
If they can't understand it , how can they reach me?
I guess they can't
I guess they won't, I guess they front
That's why I know my life is out of luck, fool!

Been spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise(x2)

Keep spending most our lives
Living in a gangsta's paradise(x2)

Tell me why are we, so blind to see
That the ones we hurt, are you and me?(x2)


好聽吧!!!哈哈哈哈
一整個下午研究嘻哈音樂 還真有點累人呢!!!
