Oh my. That’s disappointing, in the sense that I believe I’ve heard Al say that he always checks with the artist.

- zamadatix 2y agoIf you take Weird Al's word for it, he was told Coolio had approved and only later found out it was the other way around: "…two separate people from my label told me that they had personally talked to Coolio… and that he told them that he was okay with the whole parody idea…Halfway into production, my record label told me that Coolio’s management had a problem with the parody, even though Coolio personally was okay with it. My label told me… they would iron things out — so I proceeded with the recording and finished the album." https://www.vulture.com/2011/12/gangstas-parodist-revisiting-weird-al-vs-coolio.html https://www.vulture.com/2011/12/gangstas-parodist-revisiting...
- justin66 2y agoThanks. Yeah, I don't think Weird Al would lie about something like that.
