Black Eyed Peas singer Taboo is celebrating his 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.
Popular rapper-singer-actor Taboo has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Taboo, a cultural icon
Born Jaime Luis Gómez in Los Angeles on July 14, 1975, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history.
