Ghostface Killah also known as Tony Starks and Pretty Tony is another eccentric member of the notorious and beloved Wu-Tang Clan and has deservedly made the list of hip-hop greats. At one point in time, Ghostface's stage name was taken literally as early in his career he wore masks on stage and during public appearances due to his troubles with the law. Luckily, the Wu-Tang Clan was able to rise to prominence and Ghostface was able to clear up his legal troubles.
His debut solo project, Ironman, was extremely well-received as it was followed up with his 2000 album, Supreme Clientele which features the street/club hit 'Cherchez LaGhost' that still gets multiple spins to this day. Ghostface's unique voice and delivery have allowed him to develop a cult-like following and the respect of his hip-hop peers. Oh, and yes the gold eagle is real...
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.
