Is hip hop becoming vegetarianized?

Russell Simmons has always been open about his vegan lifestyle he’s practiced for almost a decade.

Recently, half of hip hop duo Capone-N-Noreaga, N.O.R.E., documented his successful weight loss by following a vegan diet and even changed the name of his blogs to reflect his diet switch.

Now, Masta Killa of Wu Tang Clan has recorded his PSA for vegetarianism. Good to know he’s not recording a PSA for the veggie burger on waffles his band mate RZA created.

Masta’s been vegetarian for 13 years, ever since he decided to forgo the turkey at Thanksgiving.

Perhaps what’s even more exciting is that he’s normally the group member who doesn’t give many interviews!

It’s great to see African-Americans speak up about vegetarianism and hopefully, they can influence other minorities to adopt the lifestyle known to reduce their chances of developing diabetes and high blood pressure, illnesses known to disproportionately affect those communities.

If Masta Killa doesn’t convince you to go veg, his adorable son, Eternal sure will.

Alanis Morissette isn’t the only celebrity to make headlines for turning vegan and losing weight.

N.O.R.E., also known as Noreaga, part of the hip-hop dual Capone-n-Noreaga, has been blogging about his dwindling body numbers and has lost 60 pounds on his vegan diet.

The rapper, whose real name is Victor Santiago Jr., started an intense workout last September as part of a weight loss competition with Busta Rhymes.

Along with documenting his success, he’s even changed the name of his blogs to reflect his new lifestyle.

“We are switching it up from the Hang Hang Hood Chicken blogs, to the Hang Hang Hood Vegan blogs. Same N.O.R.E., same hood talk,” he said.

In addition to changing his eating habits, he’s given up drinking as well.
