It's All the Way Live (Now)

"It's All the Way Live (Now)" is a song by American rapper Coolio. It was released in May 1996 as the lead single to the Eddie soundtrack.

Despite being one of Coolio's biggest hits, the song did not appear on his 2001 Tommy Boy Records Greatest Hits compilation. This was due to the fact Hollywood Records, who released the Eddie soundtrack, owned the rights to the song.

Critical reception

British magazine Music Week rated the song three out of five, describing it as "a smoothly-produced cover" from the new basketball comedy Eddie. They also noted that the original recorders, Lakeside, perform on the track too.[1]
