As the Good Book Says...: "Gangsta's Paradise" starts off with Psalm 23:4 "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death".

comment
Villainous Lament: "Gangsta's Paradise" is about a hoodlum who obviously knows that his lifestyle is morally wrong and self-destructive but has given up hope on changing for the better.

Sampling

Sampling: "Fantastic Voyage" samples the song of the same name by Lakeside. "Gangsta's Paradise" samples the chorus and instrumentation of Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise". "It's All the Way Live (Now)" samples "It's All the Way Live" by Lakeside.

comment
Dramatic Choir Number: "Gangsta's Paradise" is backed by a short, looping choir riff. The song is a Villainous Lament, so the choir helps give it a mournful feel.
