He originally got the name "Coolio" from his musical talent being compared to that of Julio Iglesias but since he rapped instead of sang, and had a fresh cool mellow feel, he was given the name Coolio Iglesias.
Television
Coolio guest starred in the hit series Charmed, as a Lazarus demon, in the episode Marry Go Round, he also voiced Kwanzaa-bot, a one-off character featured in the A Tale Of Two Santas episode of Futurama. In fact, according to the DVD commentary, the producers of Futurama were so impressed by his range of voices, that they said he could do voice-over work professionally. He also performed the Kenan and Kel theme song.
Trivia
Coolio suffered from a case of indecisiveness when it came to the titles of his first two albums. His debut, It Takes a Thief, was originally named 'N Da Closet, while Gangsta's Paradise was first titled Geto Highlites, the latter which Coolio confirmed on the TV show Yo! MTV Raps in June 1995, following the premiere of the Paradise video. However, it was later changed to capitalize on the immense success of the single prior to its November release.
Coolio's recordings also appeared on the soundtracks to Clueless (1995) and New Jersey Drive (1995).
He recently Co-hosted the 2005 MOBO awards in the uk. The MOBO (an acronym for Music Of Black Origin) Awards, established in 1996 by Kanya King, are held annually in the UK to recognise artists of any race or nationality performing music of black origin
