Rapper Coolio Is Releasing His New Album Exclusively On Pornhub

Coolio is fucking back, and he’s found a new “Gangsta’s Paradise” in porn. After spending the last five years or so on hiatus–or as I’d like to believe, spending the last five years in an actual gangsta’s paradise–Coolio is releasing his first album since 2009. You may wonder what the news story is here. Is it that Coolio’s releasing a new album? Nope. It’s how he’s releasing it.

Coolio decided to go a more unconventional route and will release his album on Pornhub. Coincidentally, his new album is called “Take It To The Hub.” “Gangsta’s Paradise” is one of the many staples at any fraternity party, and Pornhub is a staple for any fraternity guy’s Monday night when his slam is out of town. (Although, I’m personally more of a RedTube kind of guy.)

From Dazed:



According to TMZ, the 50-year-old rap veteran – real name Artis Ivey Jr – signed a deal with the adult entertainment site. In exchange for supplying the modeling talent for his new music video, “Take It To The Hub”, Pornhub will get an exclusive premiere on Coolio’s new tracks.

This trade could be the best deal since the Fister-Furbush deal back in 2011. That one is tough to beat, though. Coolio will get to use Pornhub models in exchange for his release (in more ways than one) on the site. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. Head on over to Pornhub to check out the new album when it’s released, or to just check out some good, old-fashioned anal, whichever you prefer.

    “Coolio will get to use Pornhub models in exchange for his release”
    I see why he did this, he knows no one’s going to Pornhub for music.

    I will more than likely recognize at least one model due to my spending exorbitant amounts of time there
