Some could argue that Eazy-E doesn't belong on this list with the storyline of Eazy-E not originally writing his own rhymes but, many forget that the Compton rapper thought very little of hip-hop and was a true gangsta by the definition of the very word. Eazy-E became the standout member of the infamous hip-hop group named N.W.A with his uniquely high-pitched voice and hardcore delivery. His lyrical content was shocking during the release of the group's debut album, Straight Outta Compton, which helped instantly popularize the group.
His 1988, debut solo album, Eazy-Duz-It, is one of the best produced and live instrumentation hip-hop albums of all-time even with its highly questionable content. Unfortunately, we lost Eazy-E at the extremely young age of just 30-years-old due to complications with the AIDS virus. To this very day, his legacy lives on and will never be forgotten.
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.
