What Coolio Is Cooking for Thanksgiving

When it comes to cooking, Coolio, now 46, adds his own ghetto twist. He and his cousin launched an online cooking show back in 2008—and now Coolio is back with a cookbook of his own. With recipes that range from "Tricked Out Tilapia" to "Appetizers for That Ass," Cookin' With Coolio is sure to entertain as well as feed.

From the interview (questions in bold):

What do you do in the kitchen that Rachael Ray doesn't do?
I probably get naked. I yell out "Shakazulu!" when I'm all alone.

Shakazulu?
It's another word for "motherf---er"; it's the equivalent of Emeril's "Bam!" But it's got a lot of meanings. It means, "Hell yeah." It's like, "Oh really?" It's like, "Well what the f--k then? Shakazulu, fool!" I just use it in my every day speech. It's like, "Aight, peace." Like when I'm getting off the phone and I'll say, "OK, Shakazulu, brotha." I started saying that cause my daughter heard me talking on the phone one day and said, "Dang, Daddy, you cuss too much!" And I said, "Really? Damn. I gotta watch that." So a couple days later I was thinking about it and instead of saying "MF" I started saying "Shaka!"

Do you keep your salt in a shaker?
Nah. I keep it in a dime-bag!

Uhhhhhhhhhhh...I can't think of a single thing to say....
