Coolio

So far off-radar has Coolio slipped since Gangsta’s Paradise, it seems the chap couldn’t get himself arrested these days. Literally, in the case of his brush with the LA law this week. When Coolio failed to attend court as his probation order demanded, a judge issued a warrant of $10,000 - loose change to more successful rappers who’d spend fifty times that on bubbly to fill their bath-tubs - to apprehend the substance abuser. You may recall Coolio was arrested in possession of crack cocaine, understandably, some felt, shortly after his incarceration in the Big Brother house with ghastly, gobs****s Tina Malone, Terry Christian and Michelle Heaton. Having presumably studied mug shots to jog their memories, LA’s finest still failed to finger their target. To the relief of his fan(s?), the dude eventually turned himself in. Maybe he needed to remember what it feels like to be a wanted man for the first time since, oh, 1995?
