Here's yet another hip-hop artist that is arguably the greatest of all-time simply due to his influence of some the greats of today. Rakim's lyrical ability and vocal cadence is one to be admired, no particular hip-hop artist really embodies cool the way that Rakim does and has throughout his lengthy music career. Rakim is one-half of the legendary hip-hop group Eric B and Rakim and their debut album, Paid in Full, released in July of 1987 became the blueprint for many patrons who wanted to become emcees.
With tracks like 'Eric B. For President', 'Pump Up The Volume', and 'Don't Sweat The Technique' the New York hip-hop act is able to tour internationally to this very day. It's not hard to find Rakim either being recognized for his work or teaching the youth about the culture of hip-hop as he truly a legend and a godfather to the entire art form and deserves all the praise in the world.
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.
