Hi,

What's up like the show a lot and you look very well. Your children are a handful but wonderful at best they really take after there father. If you would be interested in a meet or greet that would be great let me know.....ok.

Great show! You have impressed me on your ability to put together a show that is positive and have a meaning behind it. Your kids are great and they are being truely teenagers. I work with kids everyday and I can definitely sympathize with you. Keep up the good work and PLEASE encourage others do what you are doing.

I have a rule for you:

NEVER TALK BACK TO YOUR PARENTS!(that is directed to Artis, lol)

You are hansome, intelligent brother, it is a same that you allow you children to behave the way that they do. You are the parent! Your show is not so cool. Tell me something "do your kids go to school, if they do they don't act like it" you will be single and lonely for a long time as long as you allow them to run your life. Where are there Mother's "My bad, not my business" but since you put it out there "didn't their mother's teach them anythin"? WOW

It is said that children emulate what they see. As you have stated, it appears that they have not experienced the trials of life that you have, at least thus far - is it too late? Are we providing to the point of spoiling? I don't even know anymore. Every day feels like a crap shoot for me these days. That being said, I am assuming that they emulate the teachings of the parent that lives in the mansion? I try to teach my kids that at some point, I cannot live for them and they must choose their own destiny...THEY choose. I will not be responsible for the outcome of their life based on the decisions that they make for themselves. They CHOOSE not to take my advice, they CHOOSE not to live by my example. What happens after that depends on them and them alone. I can only do my best. But, what do I know, really? I'm just a mom....it's all trial and error, really. And, no matter how you TRY there is always an ERROR factor in some manner, now isn't there?

Oh, just a silly quick recipe of something I threw together tonight that maybe you could use in your business (Worth a try):

Measurements are estimates because I don't really use cups or spoons...

Grilled Ahi Tuna

4 Ahi Tuna Steaks
4 Fresh Minced Garlic cloves
Approx. 1/4 cup sliced red onion
Approx. 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Approx. 1 teaspoon fresh dill weed
Some "fake" butter (you know like the kind they say is supposed to be better for you than butter?)
Pinch of salt and pepper
Put Ahi Tuna flat on tray and sprinkle a bit of each ingredient on each steak. Allow to sit for 30 minutes turning once or twice to cover the steaks on both sides. Put a dab of the "fake" butter on each steak. Wrap in aluminum foil completely (so it's closed up in a manner to "steam" or cook without turning. Put on medium grill and cook for about 15 minutes (opening foil to check). Don't cook too long - remember, meat cooks a lil more after you take it off the grill....fairly healthy and feeds 4...good luck with that....

Being out of work in the So Cal homebuilding industry, I'm off to fix the the floater in the toilet...(smiles) too much fun....

Blue Eyes....

Coolio you are awesome I love the way you are showing your kids what it take to really get ahead in this world just because your parents may have money you still gotta work thats what i am teaching my 7yr old life is not easy I have been on my own since I was 18 and not because I was respectful but because I wanted to get married I have been married 13yrs. I have owned my own home since I was 20 I am 34 now and my hubby is a successful business man so my daughter feels that money just magically appears. I am teaching her how to earn money she cleans up her room for 5.00 a week and she has to save it if she wants something other then what I buy she can get a loan but we sign papers that show she has to pay back money she borrow.We have no maid I refuse this works and she is now understanding that life does not come on a silver platter it take hard work and dication

Coolio you were one of those cool rappers back in the day when I was coming up. Even though I never understood the hair on top of your head, it was stioll over looked because of the flyness of the music. Nevertheless, its still good to see you again, and to see that you've matured. Because for some reason I thought the show would resemble who you were back then, but it doesn't. It's you as a parent, and it reflects the things that many parents go through constantly; like the attitudes, selfishness, and many other attributes that goes along w/being a SINGLE parent. So, my hat's off to you for being a better brother then some other brothers are who don't even try to mend the relationship w/their kids. And are far as your son goes, tuff love may be the only way you'll be able to teach him how to be a real man that appreciates the little things.

Hi Coolio. Just showin some love from the ATL. I've been a fan of yours since the beginning of your career & it's cool to see you in a different aspect of your life. You have great style & a beautiful, stylish family. It's sexy to see a single man raising his kids & cooking gourmet meals! I know your kids are a handful especially Artis, but they are still young & learning. I can tell that they admire & look up to you even if they don't show it often. Keep doing what you're doing. I love the show & the fam. Shake them haters & their negative comments. Stay sexy;)

Hey! Mine was number 3!!! It worked for 22+ years and my young adults still live by that rule! My grandbaby is now learning it the hard way! Love you, the kids and the show! Brings back some madd, crazy memories around my house!

hay coolio, i think if the kids are'nt grateful for everything they have, put them out, let them get on their own. i did my daughter the same way. now she's in the navy, gettin her's.

Hey Coolio! I know that you have heard it before, but I just wanted to let you know that I think that your show is really great! I really admire the way that you are raising your children. I think that your style is truly commendable. I know that you are having a rough time with your son but "keep your head up and stay positive" because it will all work out in the end! He may suffer a few bumps and bruises along the way but you and he will both come out alright. As for your re-entry into dating, why not try something different. You're use to high-class females, models, entertainment industry types, and even your own hometown girls and all these women are great; but now how about you venture out and try dating a down home woman from somewhere else! Someone who's down-to-earth and real and all the while fun, sexy, and exciting. Oh, and did I mention GORGEOUS! Anyway, maybe you might like to try dating one of us so-called "average girls" for a little change of pace. We can offer a little sumptin, sumptin that just might be a pleasant surprise for ya! If you think you might be interested, or at the very least, a little curious, hit me up at my email. I'll be waiting to hear from you! Congrats Again on a Great Show!

Coolico, why do you let your children step over the lines of parent/child? You have so many different rules, but one rule, should always stay in place: "My house my Rules". This seems to be lacking in your house or is this play for the cameras.
Now this thing, on your lady friends, they are just as young as your children. What's up with that, stillong trying to feel young, yourself.
Hell, I can cook, that do not impress me as a woman nor I am stuck on a person's look. This semm to be a important factor on your selection.
In that case, U???????

Coolio i loooooove your show!! I think many ppl can relate to this show, because your keeping it real man. Just a father trying to make the best of their children. I think Artis is the main concern, he really needs a reality check. All ur kids seem like good kids though, hopefully that catering goes good for you, those scallops look good on the show.mmm LOL

i just wanted to say that i love the show. i thing the relationship that you have with the kids is a good one. they may seem a little ungrateful at first but i think that just the magic of editing video. i can tell that they do really love you and you are giving it another shot to be a hands on dad. not a lot of men do that. i also wanted to say that i love your kitchen. it is fit for a ghetto gourmet chef! thanks for being real in a not so real tv world.

coolio i respects ya show real talk.and you got some good ass morals not many people could do it like you werd up.keep it up homie n ya son wen he ready nah mean ya gon b iight.werd up.oh yeah ps i respect ya rules nah mean but nah mean i just wanna let you know brandi gon be my wifey..haha.=D

coolio i think that your show is the balm, and really down to earth, you are very attractive, and handsome to me, even without the braids. i think that you have some beautiful kids, don't worry about the haters keep up the good work. tell jarez i said that i think he is very handsome and sexy. you all should of been living in charleston,sc. love you
