Cookin' with Coolio

Cookin' with Coolio, the Ghetto Gourmet

Fork Steak & Ghetallian Garlic Bread

Where in theeee heck have I been that almost an entire season of "Cookin' with Coolio" has been on and I haven't heard about it?! Coolio keeps it way real showing you how to take hot sauce and a dime bag of season salt to make a gor-may meal. Other episodes include: soul rolls, tricked out westside tilapia, and fall off the bone chicken. A gangster's paradise, indeed.

Who's the black George Michael???

Yep, you guessed it: The Weeknd.



But still, THIS > THAT.

Belly: Re-loaded.

Goon-topic #1: "If Belly were made today, who would be the cast?" - Justin Paul (formerly, Jay West)

Soooooooo, after much debate, we goons were able to settle on the following few characters:
T.I....

As Tommy "Buns" Bundy.

Yasiin Bey (formerly, Mos Def)...

as Sincere.

Nicki Minaj...

as Kisha.

Idris Elba...

as Lennox.

50 Cent...

as Knowledge.

Tyler the Creator...

as Shameek.

Diggy Simmons...

as Shorty.

Lawrence Fishburne...

as Rev Saviour.

Kreayshawn...

as Kionna.

Rick Ross...

as Rico.

Oh yeah, and Guy Ritchie would write and direct it.

In the wake of just the latest tragedy within our justice system, some good folks over in the Castleberry Hill area of Atlanta decided to plan an event...creatives in the neighborhood contributed with various pieces.

Below are a few flicks from the ol' iPhone.

4. ASAP Rocky (Harlem, NY)


5. Machine Gun Kelly (Cleveland, OH)

8. Tyler the Creator (Los Angeles, CA)


9. French Montana (Bronx, NY)


10. Theophilus London (Brooklyn, NY)

I OFFICIALLY FOX w/ THIS.

Machine Gun Kels - Wild Boy

Not 'cause the song is EXTRA jammin'.
Not 'cause Juaquin Flocka has 16 prolific bars.
Not even 'cause Mr. Flocka bottles a middle-aged white man for asking him too many questions (though that IS an added bonus).

But, peep the 1:51 mark: It's suuuuuuuper illll that Layzie Bone is in this video. That says a lot about young Kels' movement in Cleveland. The O.G.'s #salute and who can be mad at that?

Oh yeah, Kat Williams is from Cincinatti too. Ohio is showing love all through this thang.
