i was never a big Cool C fan. I loooove Steady B though. His album with "Do The Fila" on it is classic thru and thru (Bring The Beat Back). "Funky Dividends" is indeed classic. And if we are talking Philly,search everything by Tuff Crew and Cash Money.

Oh, and Count Coolout was classic as well.

I preferred "I Gotta Habit" over "The Glamorous Life". Cool C was my favorite MC for about two weeks.

B-side to TTD's "Greatest Man Alive" 12", "Straight Up", is great.. as is Steady B's "Let The Hustlers Play". (Then again, admittedly, these are records/songs I used on a 1988 cdr go comp.. so of course, I'd say that)

What about True Mathematics? Surely tame compared to what they would become (The Bomb Squad), but some great singles in there.. "For The Lover In You", "K.A.O.S.S.", etc.

ten years pass...

Cool C, who was given the death penalty for killing a police officer in 1996, has been given a date for his execution.
Cool C has spent the last 18 years in prison following a 1996 murder conviction. The Philadelphia rap legend was given the death penalty when he was found guilty for the murder of police officer Lauretha Vaird in a robbery attempt assisted by Steady B, a fellow member of his rap group, C.E.B.
The rapper was initially scheduled to be given a lethal injection on March 9, 2006, but the governor of Pensylvania granted a delay on the execution. Cool C has now been issued a new date. His execution will now take place on January 8th 2015.
Cool C was best known for his Juice Crew diss track, and "The Glamorous Life" as a solo artist. You can watch the video for the latter below.
