A fact from F.E.A.R. (song) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 October 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the single "F.E.A.R." is based on Coolio's "Gangsta's Paradise", which was in turn adapted from Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise"?

Is the "backwards" sequence in music video for F.E.A.R. in homage to the backwards sequence in the music video Weird Al's "Amish Paradise"? as both were based on the same Gangsta's Paradise?

chinatown?[edit]

would you describe the parts of soho Brown rides through which are full of sex shops as being in chinatown? --81.154.236.221 19:47, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt they are based on the same riff - i mean, it's not the same chords, and the strings are not the same sound nor the same rhytm... So saying F.E.A.R. is based on gangsta's paradise is a bit far out... User:northen

Chinatown and Gangsta's Paradise[edit]

Author:ADM I'm not from London but is Berwick Street not at the edge of Chinatown. I think the Chinese restaurants that you see at the start is also a give-away.

I agree though, the 'Gangsta's Paradise' sampling is a bit far fetched. They're not even the same notes, this is a mis-leading. I take it the first point to an Amish Paradise is a joke!
