Hey there! How commendable to you Coolio! Your kids are great & there's always time to make right any wrongs or time you missed! When you are looking for a girlfriend, be sure she's old enough to have wisdom to know how to learn to love & appreciate you & your children with a kind open heart. Also, you'll get the right soul mate with a woman old enough to know exactly how & what she wants & be secure with what she brings to the table & how you all can become the blessing! Doesn't look like I can add a photo, but my pics are on blackpeoplemeet.com with the user name krayvnfun. Peace :)

Coolio, I have followed your career for years! I have two kids, a 2 year old girl and an 10 year old boy. For two years I have raised my nephew up until now and I know what you are going through! My nephew also believe in the hussle game and he doesn't understand without rules and hard work he will never make it in life. I myself is dealing with it again, my son is becoming lazy and irresponsible, so I'm going "old school" on him! Just keep talking to your son and let him know that you love him, and respects his decisions in life even though he might make mistakes, just be there too help guide him! Keep it up, I think you're doing a great job!

Hey people. I like the show. Leon, I am not sure how long you have had your kids with you but I have been were you are. I am a mother of five and was too busy hustling in my youth to be a active parent. Regrets are always there but remember your children missed a lot. My daughter is still very resentful and reminds me of your son. No matter what I did to reach her she wasn't hearing it. I tried to over compensate for the years I wasn't there but learned I couldn't be here friend, or sister. I had to be her mother. They are going to make their own decisions in life, most of which you aren't going to agree with, but they are who we were when we were their age. We didn't listen. Keep your head up and eventually you will reach your son. I am sure some of this is for TV but the realness is you have to do what you have to do. Tell them all I said Hello and my first car was a Ventura. Ouch! By the way, if you need any help with the catering look me up! I used to do it. Jack of all trades, right! And if her panties come off after the first meal, she isn't the woman to have around your kids!!!!
Peace to you all and give dad a break, after all he is Coolio. Find him a lady girls.

Sorry for the typo's. Sleepy, typing and watching your show. I guess I can't multitask.

These kids don't know how good they have it. There are kids that don't have a father in their life at all and don't want to be apart of their life either. Those kids are blessed to have a father that will do all he can to make things right for them and give them the best. But his son don't know what he is doing I say a child should stay in a childs place. His son think he knows it all but when he fall flat on his face his first person he WILL run to is his father and he will be there to pick him up. Coolio is just going to have to let go and just pray that God will cover his son in all that he do. I just hope his son makes the right moves. If I had a father to do all he can for me I will try to be talk to him and see how we can get along and make things work for the both of us. They need to take what he say into account and listen real good because we have been there and we know whats best for our children to make it better for them. The world we live in now it is not the same when we grow up.

I enjoyed the show very much. Its nice to see the other side of celeb's, but your son Artis got under my skin. He is very disrespectful, unappreciative, and lazy. He needs a reality check like non other. Tough love!!

Hi, this is wonderful blog of Coolio.

I think it is wonderful of of you to want your kids with you,but you can not make up for those lost years with them.The important thing is that you are there now.Because you were not there for them in the past is no excuse for them being disrespectful and disobedient.They are so unappreciative.They don't know how blessed they are.Everybody,with the exception of Jackie should be working or going to school or both.Artis would be out on his behind.No child of mine is going to live in my house and tell me what they are and are not going to do.Do as I say or get out,plain and simple.He thinks it is so easy,but when he has to get out there and get it for himself,he will see.He is 18,why are you still paying for his haircuts or anything else for him for that matter.And Artisha's mouth is just unacceptable.She is the oldest.She is a poor example for her siblings.She should be out there holding it down on her own by now anyway.I really feel for you and God be with you.As Nicole stated,the world is so different than it was when we we were growing up.It's a whole different ball game now.

I must tell you. I had the pleasure of meeting you and your family the other day and everyone was absolutely lovely. You must be doing something right Coolio, Doolio, Dadlio...whatever(ha!). Your family was sweet, respectful and seemed very proud of you. There is always time to right a wrong.

I wish you success in all you do.
Much love. Nicole from NYC

Hey Coolio:

It seems strange writing on your blog....You were the first rapper I heard and loved and always approved for my kids. And just a note from a mom your still hot ...Very Hot. You are doing a good job and giving kids all they want doesn't teach them the values they need for life...Don't back down...loved the pasta in the beds, I would have done the same....V

Coolio,

I thought you did what you can do to teach your kids by the rules and it's good to teach them some values. For example, your right hand buddy said before, you need to show them "tough love". I suggested that you should really give them a reality check and show them how you process your first step to your pinnacle life. What I mean, compare your past life with a regular, hard working, person who has to go through the same way you have to go through and show it to your kids and maybe they would know how it feels and know how to work harder for their goals. I enjoyed the show because you are probably the few who show some father's point-of-views and trying to keep your kids on the right path in making their decision because in today's society there are too much bad influences. Can't wait to see the next show. Nal here in the states.

Lovin your show!!

Do your thang man.. No one can ever take anything away from you and when they try they must be a "Hater"... Your talented beyond belief and exude Leo energy in the best ways. Never stop. You once told me that life is hard in this cold, cold, town. Always mesmerized by your unique talent. In the studio, I was to sing but I could only stare at you. Overwhelmed by your energy. (and you cook the best crepes) Life's too short. Kiss slowly. Forgive quickly. Peace & Love.

Just saw the show for the very first time and it was funny.I think you do a very good job with your children compare to many out there.You do infact tend to give in to them alot and I can't blame you because I give in to mine,see I have a daughter and though I try to teach her how to work for her stuff she still gets over at times.Now what I would like to do is send you some of my recipes and see what you think when you taste it but on you blogs I would not post them sorry.Send me your e-mail or just feel free to e-mail me and you will get them.I can promise you your children will love your gourmet cookin much more.I too can turn nothing into something,LOL.Please do not call your children "kids" thats is what a young gost is called and I find it to be very disrespectful,they are your children or you can say this is my child.Not trying to come out offensive but the truth is the truth.Peace and Love to you and yours.My MySpace name is Ladyk217 you can also contact me through that way.Later XOXOXOXOXOXOXO...........

Coolio man I feel your pain, I have a 21 year old son who just don't get it either. No matter what we explained to him, he just did not what to hear what we were saying. So we end up doing the tough love thing, were still waiting to see if that works, it's been about 3 years know. And he is still living from pillar to post. Good luck with that.

Coolio,
I dont know how long you have had your kids, but
you are such a good father, and your kids need
to recognize. They are ghetto, and real lazy, and
somewhat disrespectful and spoiled. I think its
its too late now to discipline them. Stop spoiling
them and let them fend for themselves. I thought
it was so cool for you to buy them a cheap car, for their first car, because thats what they deserve. They need to step up to the plate and
grow up and respect their dad. And help you around that house and respect you. I know you love
them, and one day you have to cut the apron strings. love-p.s. there are a lot of kids like them !
