During an interview with Sean Evans on Hot Ones in 2016, Coolio further expressed regret for how he initially responded to "Amish Paradise". "In hindsight, it was stupid of me to say something about [Yankovic] doing a parody of 'Gangsta's Paradise'," he said. "I mean, he did Michael Jackson, he did Prince. You know, people who were definitely more talented than I am. I think Prince did say something... but he wasn't very vocal about it like I was. And it just made me look dumb... It was one of the dumb things I did. And I'm willing to admit I did something stupid."[

I think Coolio mellowed when the royalties from the parody overtook the royalties from the original.

1 cup crushed pineapple (drained with juice reserved)

1 cup water (more or less depending on what’s needed, see instructions below)

2 packages lime jello (3 oz each)

1 cup mayo

1 cup evaporated milk (canned)

1 cup small curd cottage cheese

1/2 cup walnuts (chopped)

In a large multi-cup measuring cup (I use my 4 cup Pyrex), add all of the reserved pineapple juice and then add enough water to the juice to make a total of 2 cups. Pour into pot and bring just to a boil.

Add the lime Jell-o mixes to the boiling pineapple juice/water and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat, allow to cool just slightly.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the mayo and evaporated milk. Combine until very smooth. Slowly stir in the Jell-o mixture until all is incorporated with the mayo/milk mixture. Stir in the crushed pineapple, cottage cheese, and walnuts.

Pour mixture into an 8×8″ glass casserole pan. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight (preferred).

My understanding is that Weird Al always gets permission from the original artist before releasing a parody song, then again before making a video for that song.

wiki article suggested that he bought the rights, but from the company.

probably some crossed wires between the artists' communications and the corporate communications?

The version I heard was there was a miscommunication, and he thought he had permission when he didn't, and his own band members knew he didn't have permission, but didn't give a shit, because parody is fair use, they thought the song was too good to scupper, the permission thing was just a courtesy thing, and that someday Coolio would lighten up.
Course, they didn't fully understand how important the permission thing was to Al, and it caused tension in the group.

Honestly, the only reason I ever hard of Gangster’s Paradise was because of Amish Paradise. I’m not much into rap despite it being the most popular form of music at the HBCU I attended.

Makes sense, the program director at Humber's radio program thought "new country" was the future and subjected the building to it.
