Mellow rap

"Coolio's "C U When U Get There" is a really nice, mellow rap song. It was released in 1997, when it was certified gold and went to #12 on the pop chart. The song is based on classical music - Pachabel's Canon (which you hear at weddings all the time). Coolio has always been a fairly poppy rapper, so this song isn't a major shock when compared to his past hits. The CD also includes, "Hit 'Em," which is a more typical rap song. The only disappointment is the remixes, which don't sound very different from the album version. I haven't seen much of Coolio since this song was a hit (although he rocked on "Celebrity Bootcamp"!!), but he apparently has a new CD coming out soon. I'm interested to hear what it's like. If you're looking for some rap that's a little less hardcore, then you should check out this CD."

Kid rockish

"this sounds too much like kid rock and it's too short for the price"

"I love this song! I would give it 5 stars except they had all these crappy remixes and everything, but the best version of it is the one they played on the radio and showed on MTV. If you haven't heard this yet, check it out!"
