Rapper/actor Coolio will star in a new reality television series titled Coolio & The Gang, which will debut next year on the Oxygen Network.


According to The Hollywood Reporter, the reality series features the rapper raising six teenagers while juggling a rap career and clothing line.


Coolio, 44, hit big in 1994 with the single "Fantastic Voyage" from the album It Takes A Thief and the Grammy Award winning "Gangsta's Paradise" from the quadruple platinum album of the same name the following year.


"Coolio is a single dad raising kids, and it's got a lot of unconventional parenting aspects to it. He wants his kids to do as he says, not as he does," said Debby Beece, president of programming and marketing at Oxygen.

.....who the fuck cares about coolio????

i know there might be some fans of his still....but isn't this one of those type of situations where you can learn about a former celeb by just walking up to his house????

coolio isn't hot anymore....he ain't on fire....he isn't even relevant. i bet he's a nice person, but damn...

WTF ???

Nothing against Coolio, but who cares??
Dude hasn't had a song out in who knows how long??

Last time I can think of a track on the radio was around '98 with that track "See You When You Get There" or "Here" or something like that.

I remember listening to Fantastic Voyage though back in elementary school on a small stereo i had under my pillow

Kid Nation the shit! I love that shit!
Aight, its about where they take a bunch of kids (dont remember exactly how many) ages 9-15 and put them in an abandoned town, Bonanza City, New Mexico for like 30 or 40 days. No parents, no nothing, they have to run the town themselves. The only adults there are the technical crew, who don't interact with the kids, and the show host, who only shows up for the challenges and the award given away at the end of each episode. The kids break up into 4 districts, the upper class, the middle class , the cooks, and the lower class (cleaning outhouses and stuff). Don't remember what the middle class does, but the upper class gets to do whatever they want. And its based on pay. Upper gets a dollar a day, middle get a quarter, cooks get a dime, and lower gets a nickel, if I remember right. They spend money on the town shop and the "hall" where they serve root beer and candy, so the challenges get intense and funny as hell!
Basically, the kids are trying to do what the original settlers couldn't, make the town last.

As for Coolio, I'll watch a few eps cuz Im wonderin what he's been up to.

well @ least he's trying to raise his kids...too many brothers bail out on their families...Coolio has been thru wire and back as far as hip-hop is concerned, so to see him still eating is a good thing....feed your family, there's never any shame in that...
