Coolio - It Takes A Thief

Coolio's debut, It Takes a Thief, brought him immediate success, establishing his reputation as a hard-knock, gun-slinging gangster with a biting sense of humor. Maybe it was because of his appearance -- heavy eyelids and finger-in-a-light-socket hairstyle or maybe it was because of his laid-back vocal delivery, but he never seemed quite as menacing as other West Coast rappers spitting verses about the same thuggery. Instead of trying to incite fear in his raps, he complained that he didn't like having to live that way, and noted that there wasn't really a choice in the matter. Released July 19, 1994 on Tommy Boy/Warner Bros. Records, the album peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 chart and #5 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums and was certified platinum by RIAA.
