Amazon.co.uk Review
Compton-born Artis Ivey Jr was well into his 30s by the time he made it big. Having served his time in old-skool rap acts like WC and The MAAD Circle since 1979, his breakthrough finally arrived in 1993 with the jubilant party anthem "Fantastic Voyage", but it was the Stevie Wonder-sampling "Gangsta's Paradise" which made Coolio a worldwide name, selling 4 million copies (the biggest-selling rap record in history) and earning him a Grammy. p The fact that success came so late to Coolio was audible in every groove. The mello yello melodies and rubbery basslines had more in common with the phat-bottomed P-funk he grew up on than the G-funk that was in vogue. And his been-there, done-that maturity showed too, especially on this, his third album, with cautionary tales about crack and guns. iMy Soul/i is littered with the obligatory guest spots from the likes of G-funk crooner Montell Jordan, rapper Ras Krass, Coolio protegés 40 Thevz and legendary soul harmonists The Dramatics, and sometimes bizarre samples. "Ooh La La"--which lifts from Grace Jones' "Pull Up To The Bumper" to superb effect--makes perfect sense, but the biggest hit here is an unfortunate relic from the rap/classical crossover fad which gripped the world in late 1997: "C U When U Get There", based on Pachelbel's "Canon In D", might be a little too saccharine for some tastes. i-- Simon Price/i

When i got this album i x-pected sumthin a bit more hard core. there is a few good tracks: Devil is dope and the well known C U When U Get There. My Soul's worth a listen and is good addition to my collection. Must have 4 n e Coolio fan
Great all-round album but maybe not for hard-core rap fans February 16, 2004

If you are the sort of person who likes a bit of rough rap but also some more pop-like rap then this is for you. There are a few phat tracks to bump in your car like "2 Minutes 21 Seconds of Funk" and "Hit 'Em" where the heavy bass-line will please hard-core rap fans. "My Soul" and "C U When You Get There" are also very good if you like a bit of a melody to your rap and somewhat meaningful lyrics in the latter make it a more serious addition to the album. There are several funky tunes that while not that great, make good "padding" to fill out the album - "One Mo", "Throwdown 2000", "Nature of the business". The "Devil is Dope" is also pretty good. A few of the tracks like "Ooh La La" and "Homeboy" let the album down slightly, hence it is not 5 stars.pOverall, some hard-core beats, a few good melodies when you are in a chilled-out mood and some funky tunes make a great album let down only by a few flops.
