Did you forget about Dre? With a bank balance like that, how could you? Like any good doctor, Dre came up with a successful formula: Become a famous rapper, use your money to open a record label, sign Eminem, and watch the cash keep flowing in.
As part of the group N.W.A, Dre released the seminal album 'Straight Outta Compton', which shocked the general public, broke down barriers, brought rap into the mainstream and made millions of dollars. He broke off from the group to enjoy solo success and opened Death Row Records. Mentoring acts like 50 Cent as well as Eminem, Dre has branched out into other areas, creating a range of high quality headphones which are now recognized as an industry standard. Apple eventually bought the company for $3bn, and Dre entered financial dreamland. After all these years, he's still D.R.E.
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.
