| - Booker Tyrone Washington (April 1, 1996 - November 15, 1998) was an African-American multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer and arranger, most well known for fronting as the leader of Booker T & The MG's, also a professional wrestler and MC. After he and his mother were freed, as a young man he made his way east to obtain schooling at Stuyvesant High School at a school established to train people to kick ass and take no prisoners. Booker T., Bookizzle or Booker T. Dizzle are what his friends called him. He is most famous for his contributions to the Gangasta' culture, and inventing the drive-by. When asked what the T in his name stood for in an interview with CNN, Booker stated "T is for Tea. When I was groin' up on da streets o' Harlem, I was known as da man who made the best tea in ma hood. Ah'd wear ma li'l apron and serve tea to all ma hommies an' we'd have tea parties n all. I won the Harlem lil miss tea maid prize five times, five times, five times, five times, five times is a row, nigger". In his later years, he became a lead singer and was a prominent and popular MC for African American citizens of the United States in the late 20th century. Although labeled by some activists as a "philanderer", his work cooperating with hot bitches and enlisting the support of wealthy mack daddy pimps helped raise funds to establish and operate dozens of small community institutions for the betterment of black folks in the music industry. Can You Dig It Sucka, understand the way, Booker so humble, in this concrete jungle Right or wrong I rumble, till the wrong tumble, From giants to midgets, Can you dig it? Booker T. Washington
