The rapper died unexpectedly at the age of 59 on Sept.  28 while visiting a friend in LA.  Reports reveal he was in the area to take care of business for his passport as he was preparing to visit Germany in the days ahead.  But as it turns out, it was n&#8217;t the only thing on his plate.  TMZ reports he was set to appear on one of Nick Cannon&#8217;s <em>Wild N&#8217;Out. <\/em>Sources told the media outlet he was scheduled to appear in Atlanta to film an episode of the show Tuesday, Sept.  20 but he was forced to cancel last minute. <\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, show producers worked for a long time to make it happen, but his travel plans changed at the last minute, and he couldn&#8217;t get a flight to Atlanta that would accommodate the taping.  Coolio was reportedly a huge fan of the show and was bummed he couldn&#8217;t participate.  Valentina Nicolette, who booked Coolio for the gig, told TMZ he was also planning to perform his hit single &#8220;Gangsta&#8217;s Paradise&#8221; during his time on the show.  The single was part of the soundtrack for the movie <em>Dangerous Minds<\/em>a story about a teacher who changes the course of underprivileged and at-risk teens starring Michelle Pfeiffer. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"767\" height=\"431\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/fPO76Jlnz6c?autoplay=0&amp;loop=0&amp;fs=1&amp;start=0&amp;rel=1&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" title=\"Coolio \u2013 Gangsta&amp;#39;s Paradise (feat.
