You may be the fake Australian Olympics minister, and perhaps you are the fake 80's action hero, but are you a real muppet*?

my coolio hell

This one was funny. Supposedly to take the stage at 6, the red track-suited rapper and his nasty looking side-kick appeared at 6.20. Realising that Tower were expecting him to sing along to his own cd, they get the dj (providing the pre-instore entertainment) to find something they could work with. This lasted 10 mins. Then we finally get a sing-song out of them. Only one song mind you. Since it was Coolio's first instore show he said that he'd like to meet the fans and do a bit of a signing thing. He pointed out one kid (the only kid in the audience) to be the first one to meet him, it was at this point that everyone else left leaving the child and his daddy all to poor oul Coolio.

He even referred to us as Motherfuckers....gangsta rap man.

nope.
he was meant to sing along to a pre-prepared backing track he had, but his 'management' (Arty Fufkin would've been proud) realised that they'd left it behind at RTE (apparantly he was on The Den as well).
they only realised this after he had taken to the stage though.
the whole thing was really cringeworthy.

especially as his mic wasn't turned on for about 5 minutes.

best part was his little stoned cohort who'd passed out in the art deptartment of Tower an hour beforehand and had to be woken minutes before the 'show'.

Ha ha, sounds like a scene from I'm Alan Partridge, seriously though, anyone get it on tape?

He'll be hosting Telly Bingo next.

I do indeed AoifeD but how did you know? I anxiously joined the large queue and once at the top (2 mins later) I got to pose with El Cool Magnifico (his new name), I gave the Northside Massive hand signal and he did some wack hand signals. His sidekick was his cousin, came complete with a little five-a-side too. I dont blame him for falling asleep as they are on a whirwind promo tour and have had fuck all sleep. I wanted to tell him I loved the tune he did with Keenan and Kel but I felt sorry for the guy so didn't bother. At least he's making a buck even if he only gets respect from 12 year old wanna be scumbags and knacker birds

A wee bird by the name of Fiona came down to Fakearms and told me that another wee bird (Liz) got footage of you meeting him........

hehe

the best bit was when he realised that the reason his mike hadn't been working for the last 5 mins of confusion was because he hadn't switched it on
hahaha
he's still the man tho...

Jesus, it was pretty shite, Coolio seemed pissed off by the whole thing. He signed me joint though, muthafuckaaaa!!!
