Coolio also talks about bad record contracts with Tommy Boy Records, feuding with Nadia Almada on the Big Brother show, and how he handled other kids making fun of him while growing up.

"I used to go hard on fools with 'Yo Mama' jokes. I wouldn't stop. If I was baggin' on you at night and you went home, when you came outside your house in the morning the next day I'd be there waiting for you."
