Some might argue that Lauryn Hill has no place on a hip-hop artists list but, there's no denying that she has the lyrical ability to stand next to any emcee. Lauryn Hill was initially introduced to the general public as one-third of The Fugees in 1994 on their debut album, Blunted on Reality, which isn't the group's most memorable project but their second album, The Score, became world renowned after selling 17 million copies worldwide.
But it was her solo debut album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, that became a classic and officially made her a household name. She rapped, played the instrumentation on the album, and sung as well making it one of the most multifaceted projects of the '90s. In May 2013, Hill was sentenced to three months for tax evasions but since then hasn't been the same artist we've all come to know and love. Hill has a total of six children, five children of which with Rohan Marley.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
