The most ridiculous rapper name of all time

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

What do you think?

Papoose for me. It's a Native American word meaning child, but as a stage name it's just painfully ridiculous.

[mcZu]

lol. Eminem is quite good, but slim shady? when you think about it, it's ridiculous. i think pretty much all rappers names are a bit silly lol. why can't they use their own names, like singers?

Alot of rappers use their own names.

[Robbie G]

I kinda like 50 cent as name. It's supposed to represent the "change" he's bringing to the game. Kinda corny but it's not the worst.

[GoodGirlsGetGutted]

Soulja Boy.

why/how is that ridiculous?

i think 50 cent is more ridiculous.

Actually 50 Cent has a lot of meaning behind it.
50 Cent is a metaphor for change, as in an American half dollar coin. Curtis Jackson changed from a drug dealer to a rapper.
50 Cent was also the nickname of 1980's bank robber and murderer Kelvin Martin, who Jackson relates to.

How the hell does 50 cent relate to a bank robber and a murderer?

Alot of rappers use their own names.

not many famous ones tho. sometimes they use plays on their names, i.e dr dre. but come on. immortal technique, 2-pac, etc. only one i can think of right now is andre from outkast, but then agen, he adds 3000 in his name. wtf.

Tupac Shakur is NOT 2Pac's actual birth name.
Pac's real name is Lesane Parish Crooks.

Pac's real name is Lesane Parish Crooks.

No wonder he changed it

"because it says everything I want it to say. I'm the same kind of person 50 Cent was. I provide for myself by any means"-Jackson

[BILI]

Let's not start suckin' each other's dicks just yet.

I've been wanting to slip in the info about Pac's real name anyway, because it's such a common misconception. Thanks for the opening, regardless.
