During a recent episode of Jeopardy, a contestant named Nick learned a hard lesson when he pronounced "gangsta" as "gangster" in reference to Coolio’s 1995 hit “Gangsta’s Paradise.” As a result, he lost $3200. So, in an effort to prevent this kind of travesty from happening again, Coolio stopped by Kimmel on Friday to help educate the public on how to properly pronounce hip-hop vernacular.
Armed with the title of Professor Coolio, the rap vet taught three uptight businessmen how to pronounce various slang during a sketch called “Pronunciation Station.”
