Andre 3000 is probably the most eccentric and eclectic hip-hop artist of all-time and his body of work proves just that and why he is one of the greatest as well. Andre 3000 is known as one-half of the notorious and legendary hip-hop duo, Outkast alongside Atlanta rapper, Big Boi and surpassed superstardom with their list of albums. The two first arrived on the scene with their 1994 debut album, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, which shook up the entire industry's perspective of southern hip-hop and after dropping hits like 'Jazzy Belle', 'So Fresh & So Clean', 'I Like The Way You Move', and 'Ms. Jackson' there was no denying that both Andre and Big Boi were a force to be reckoned with.
One flaw Andre 3000 might have is that he's never dropped an official solo album, the double disk, 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below' could arguably be considered solo projects from both artists but still, puts an asterisk next to 3 Stacks name as the greatest of all time. Andre 3000 has supposedly retired from rap but pops up from time to time as a guest feature on other artist's projects. He recently released a two-song EP entitled, Look Ma No Hands, dedicated to his deceased mother this past Mother's Day.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite?
