Coolio's "Fantastic Voyage" came out on Tommy Boy in March 1994, a single off his debut album It Takes a Thief, and it's G-funk with a wide grin. Bryan "Wino" Dobbs produced it, building the track on a heavy sample of Lakeside's 1980 tune, which carried the same title, and Coolio rode that groove to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 2 on the Hot Rap Singles chart and No. 12 on Hot R&B Singles.

It sold a million copies in the US and went platinum. F. Gary Gray directed the video, with B-Real of Cypress Hill dropping in for a cameo, and the song later lent its name to Coolio's 2001 greatest-hits collection.
