Coolio sat down with VladTV where he shared his views on classic West Coast artists and how connections helped them to succeed.

When E-40 and Too Short's success is brought up, Coolio points to the fact that they're from the Bay Area, and that part of their success is owed to big name collaborations. Coolio also says that Ice-T, whom most would consider a West Coast legend, is actually from New Jersey.
