Music Review

My Soul

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Lead Performance: Coolio; Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

He drops ghetto social consciousness on one track and gets spiritual on another, but this crazy-coiffed rapper mostly sticks to his crowd-pleasing pop-rap guns in My Soul. That's okay, because when it comes to commercial hip-hop, Coolio's rhymes flow around the beats with authority, and his elastic funk hooks are sure dance-floor fillers. B+
