This is an interview with Coolio where he talks about his new cookbook and cranberry relish.

What's missing from Gangsta's Paradise? Cranberry relish, of course. So NPR's Susan Stamberg sent her mother-in-law's "sounds terrible, tastes terrific" recipe to Coolio, Grammy Award-winning rapper and author of Cookin' with Coolio: 5 Star Meals at a 1 Star Price.
"The color is a little weird, but it was actually quite good," Coolio says, after sampling the Pepto-Bismol-hued relish on a smoked turkey sandwich with mustard, mayo and melted cheese.
Chef Coolio believes in fusion cooking — on his online cooking show, he makes Mexitalian and Blasian (that's black plus Asian) culinary creations — so naturally he improvised a little on Mama Stamberg's recipe: with a dash of really spicy Thai hot sauce.
He suggests the new concoction be called "Mama Stamberg and Coolio's Wild Cranberry Pinkout" — and he even improvised a few verses in its honor:
Cookin' With Coolio
Coolio is the author of Cookin' With Coolio: 5 Star Meals at a 1 Star Price, and host of his own online cooking show.
You take some cranberry
A little bit of horseradish
And some onions.
Now I got a relish fetish.
Mama Stamberg
That's what you heard.
It's Coolio, not Stamberg
With some cranberries
And a little bit of onion, y'all.
And some horseradish.
Now I got a fetish
For that relish.
And it's Pinkout.
Better pull your drink out.
"I had to censor it," Coolio admits. "Happy holidays."
