As Soviet/Russian leaders go, he seemed like a more benign sort.

That said, he made the opening scene of a Naked Gun film, along with a whole bunch of nefarious leaders (see 0:14), so...

Troubled rapper 'Coolio' - real name Artis Leon Ivey Jr. - has died at age 59.
He was apparently found dead in a friend's bathroom.
His most well known song was 'Gangsta's Paradise' in 1995.

Coolio Found Dead at Age 59...

He was a troubled man...
WARNING - Strong Language (a lot of it)...


But he could also be endearing...
From the description of the video below:
"My house mates and I acoustic jamming sesh of 'Gangster's Paradise' with the one and only Coolio. After making a guest appearance at a local club in Preston UCLAN, we got him back the next day to cook us a 3 course meal and share stories of his life and have a laugh! One of the most bizarre, surreal nights of my life. Not many people can say they've had dinner, been to Tesco supermarket and sang 'Gangster's Paradise' with Coolio."


And this interview (below) is somewhat strange... but I like and very much agree with what he says at the end of it...
Warning - some strong language again - but not as much as the first video.
(Sorry - I don't see a way of getting around the 25 second ad at the beginning)
