You Mean Weird Al's Version Is A Cover Of Coolio? Knox Hill Breaks Down The Significance!

For the longest time, I thought Weird Al's "Amish Paradise" was an original song, and Coolio covered it with "Gangsta's Paradise". Then I learned that Stevie Wonder created "Pastime Paradise" that Coolio sampled, and it becomes this culture thing that I am WAY out of my element for. Enter Knox Hill, who is ready to guide me through ALL of this and teach me what I need to be taught!
