2 Chainz represents his second chance at making a name for himself and at the age of 35, he already had a whole decade of a career under the name Tity Boi with Ludacris’ DTP so he had to go with a more family friendly name in order to help his brand hit the mainstream in his second go around. One of the best branding jobs in modern day rap
MF DOOM is also perfect because MF stands for Metal Face when he’s rapping or Metal Fingers when he’s producing. Not only that, but he wore a metal mask
I agree with Travis Scott’s name sounding like a superhero name with those 2 first names. I could never put it into words but that’s how I’ve felt for YEARS.
“Boogie” is a common nickname in the Bronx, especially with the Bronx being referred as the “Boogie Down Bronx”, even my nickname with my friends is “Ty Boogie” 😅
There's a more meaningful reason for Royce to include 5 9 in his name, in his song "Tabernacle" he discusses his grandmother dying on the fifth floor of a hospital and his first son being born on the ninth. That's pretty dope I think
This is actually my main point of contention for this video. Eminem is probably one of the best names in rap. 1) It's his initials 2) Association with the candy, making it easy to remember 3) Rolls off the tongue easy 4) It's unique I don't even like dudes music like that, but his name is top tier. Juice Wrld is a horrible name, but I still like his music.
@@Maxipadtriplesix juice WRLD is not a terrible name you tweak, juice is a reference from the Tupac movie called “Juice”, and the Juice is also a reference to a guy named “MC Juice”, also known as the only guy that has ever beat Eminem in a rap battle. You can google it. And juice took over he world like the WRLD in his name, in a year and a half of fame. Eminem did the same thing in the early 2000’s but the only difference is Eminem survived his overdoes and juice didn’t :(
Eminem's name can also be derived from the word Eminence which is a noun that describes "fame or recognized superiority, especially within a particular sphere or profession." according to google
Its a far better name than they gave it credit for. It means that and M and M for his actual name Marshall Mathers. Simple, relevant and a nice play on words
ODB has the best rapper name of all time in my opinion. Putting it in his name and making it part of his identity is so fire where trolling him or using it against him doesn't even make sense. It adds a sense of pride too to who he was and what he had to go through. Fire.
I’m really curious what you guys think about the name Joey badass, tbh I have always been mixed about the name, but the music makes up for my thoughts on it
theres also a slight layer to it in that b4da$$ = before the money, which is apparent on his debut album B4.DA.$$. not sure if this was intended originally when choosing the name, or if its something that worked out quite nicely as an entendre in the album name, but cool lil fun fact regardless.
Royce on "Tabernacle" discusses his grandmother dying on the fifth floor of a hospital and his first son being born on the ninth. definitely not mid or bad
I’m pretty sure a boogie came from a tv show or movie that he used to really like growing up, and then he liked wearing a hoodie. I remember hearing it in an interview
I feel like if names like Megan Thee Stallion and Earl Sweatshirt were used in the same generation as Notorious B. I. G, Rapsody, and 50 Cent they would have ranked way higher.
I thought 2 chains was a reference to dna, the double helix chains. There's more explanation but I think that name is goated. Plus it sounds dope when he s announces it in his bars
Alliteration is when the first letter is repeated. Assonance is when a vowel sound is repeated like the "i" and "a" sound in skippa da flippa (there is also consonance where consonant sounds are repeated)
A Boogie is broken down like this….his first name is Literally Artist so there’s the A….he’s from HighBridge Projects in The Bronx New York which is a known as the “Boogie Down Bronx”….and of course as you’ve heard he’s known for wearing hella hoodies…so that’s why A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is his name….I say it’s in the hood tier adding up all the factors
For the Eminem backstory you should’ve talked about how his name goes as Every Mother Is Nice Except Mine. This is a really influential name because of the backstory with his incredible 3 album run and especially in Relapse he mentions his mom a few times aswell as in the song “My Mom” I think it should be in a better position than good and i would go amazing atleast.
A boogie was a fictional drug dealer based on a real dealer by the name of AZ but also as someone stated on here stated before me, boogie is a common nickname for dudes in the bronx
@@ermias2782 I never said it changed that I was stupid I was making fun of you for being so upset about something I said 3 MONTHS ago that you had to comment that, and the 3rd comment you saw saying this? what are you fucking hunting for these so you can prove people wrong?
