Many tend to forget how impactful Ice Cube is as a hip-hop artist especially being that he's surpassed the music realm and has so many different types of credits under his belt. Ice Cube was the mastermind behind N.W.A and wrote most of the group's lyrics before breaking off the group and releasing his debut AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted in 1990. Ice Cube is also responsible for one of the greatest diss records of all-time aimed at his old bandmates of N.W.A, especially Eazy-E, entitled 'No Vaseline'.
Throughout the '90s Ice Cube was one of the hardest and unapproachable emcees in the game but things changed when he starred in and released his self-written movie entitled Friday in 1995. Cube already had several acting credits under his belt but with Friday becoming a hood classic it propelled his career into Hollywood which ultimately allowed him to star in and write several major motion pictures. The west coast hip-hop artist has his own production company called Cube Vision and recently started his own professional three-on-three basketball league called the BIG3.
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.
