Used as a way to express when something is cool, but BETTER!?! It makes it also seem sorta more chill and relaxed with out seeming like you don't give any shits. In other words it make you sound cooler than you actually are... (Can be used like lemonz. Also, it does NOT have to be used in a single word sentence but normally is.
person1:I live on a rainbow
person 2: That's soooo coolio

or...

person 1: okay?
person2: coolio

a West-Coast artist who has been making music since the late 1980's for Tommy Boy Records.

people say that Coolio is a one hit wonder with his chart topping song "gangstas paridise" but that is not true...Coolio has many great songs such as "Geto Hilites" "Sumpin New" "Too Hot" "Fucc Coolio" and "Exercise Yo Game" so his album "Gangsta Paradise" is considered a classic by those who heard songs other than just gangstas paradise
Coolio is a lyrically talented yet under-rated MC

Adapted from the word cool. Used to show you care about something but not enough to make a full-fledged comment on it.
