Coolio, the rapper most known for his Grammy-winning song, "Gangsta's Paradise," is turning over a new leaf.
He's writing a cookbook.
I don't know why I find this amusing, but I do. Hey, I'm not knocking the hustle or the desire for something new. But the image of Chef Coolio is hard for me to envision.
And well if you have a cooking show, you need the cookbook, right?
According to Publishers Lunch, the book Cookin' with Coolio will offer seventy-five recipes built around healthy comfort foods. A release date hasn't been reported but Atria is the book's publisher.
Coolio told Newsweek that he's trying to make "black food" healthier and more affordable.
That I can definitely get with.
But, still, Chef Coolio? Watch out G.Garvin?

I think he's at least doing something positive that will help not only for African Americans but for everyone in general.

I will maintain a wait and see attitude. Being a health nut myself, I am under the impression that most people are unaware of how to obtain good health. We shall see I guess.
