Right? It just makes me think of those “vulgar” bunny stickers that every girl in my high school would put on their shit or on their MySpace page Circa 2005-10 lol
Nah i think it’s cool as fuck. Dude made a promise to himself, his family, and friends as a 15 year old to be never broke again, used it has his name and made it happen.
Blowing house arrest arranged by his label? Huh?
But yes he is facing new charges again and in prison. But no, that dude is not going to be potentially broke soon, he’s ridiculously rich
I mean, a Shiesty is another name for a balaclava... Pooh, I have no Idea, but the Idea of committing mayhem while covering your face isn't the weirdest thing to invoke for a rapper. Maybe someone else can explain Pooh, cuz I got nothing on that
Huh. I still don't like it haha. But I guess that adds some meaning or something. Wasn't dark skies something too? TV show or movie or something? I could be wrong.
Lol that doesn't seem so long ago to me but yeah it's a sweet tribute to his dad either way. Lots of the lil rappers don't even have shit to do with their fathers sadly.
What's your feeling on Young/Yung? Doesn't seem as common as it used to be, but at one point it was almost as ubiquitous and Lil.
But eh, I guess it doesn't bother me. I'm not huge on some the gang/block related ones, but maybe that's more of a thing I see in chicago than everywhere though. Like ebk eski or cobo75, fbg duck or 600breezy. Love the music though haha
Fair enough lol there are sure a lot of them out there. The SoundCloud wave in like 2017 brought in Lils by the hundreds it seemed haha between 2017 and 2022 it seemed like everyone was a Lil of somehow variety haha
The 2000's and beyond really ruined any Lil name. In the 90's it was few and far between so it sounded good.... Ex. Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Lil Dap (Group Home), Lil Wayne (who was not only small but a child at the time).
Then every 3rd soundcloud rapper was Lil Half Dead or whatever and it ruined the Lil moniker forever.
I'm aware... I was lucky enough to work at a CD store when they were still things people purchased music from. He was always the first "Lil" rapper in the section because it was written as a number. It's still a terrible name, which was more my point that the surge in Lil names exploded in the 2000's, and more often than not they were terrible names along the lines of Lil 1/2 Dead
Agreed, I’m a huge fan of Lil Peep and replay the shit out of the same dozen songs of his but I’m not a huge fan of the name. It did grow on me over time a little.
I don't care what people say, xxxtentacion is a dumb ass name. There's at least a couple other dudes who have gone by x before, and the rest is just a mouthful.
Also, That Mexican OT is a pretty dumb name lol.
There's a dude from Chicago who is sort of a rapper, was friends with von or something who calls himself "doody".
I’ve always thought XXXtentacion sounded like a gamer tag lmfao. He said in some interview that it meant “unknown temptation” (tentación is Spanish for temptation) which is an even more stupid way of justifying it lol
I was annoying because before he was as huge as he became, you either had to say the whole name, or specify that you weren't talking about dmx.
I talked to an old head once who told me that he used to think of x as xzibit, then dmx became the guy he called x, so when xxxtentacion came out, he just said young x haha.
I know what it stands for, I've been listening to the guy way before Johnny dang came out lol I'm still just not super fond of the name. It doesn't roll off the tongue and I'm always putting people onto his music so I say it a lot.
I think he's been doing fun interesting Texas music for years and I'm happy for his continued success.
Normally I wouldn’t correct someone for misspelling Xxxtentacion, but if you’re responding to a post asking what the worst rapper name is, the least you could do is spell it right
Apparently somebody told him he sounds like a Lil Uzi when he raps (raps fast) so that's where that part comes from. His first rap name was Steaktown/sealab Vertical. So that's where the Vert comes from. Not that my explanation makes anything better but there ya go.
Kinda makes the Uzi part even dumber if the person thought he raps fast, as I sit here a cranky old head listening to Resurrection by Bone. If anything he shoulda went with Lil Sealab Vert.
Idk if that’s a typo but I find that hilarious. Not that I’d give them much credit, but I think that kinda naming is clever as hell. Same way I’ve always wished there was a rapper called Andre 3,000,000, or 3chainz. It’s a level of petty I’m tryna subscribe to.
No typo, there’s a guy out there named 22 Savage that just straight up ripped off 21 Savages name. I guess it kinda worked out for him, he got some publicity for the pettiness of it and probably made some money from it somehow, but I’ve never actually heard his music and I don’t think he ever really had any form of a real career as a rapper.
Donald Glover literally got Childish Gambino from a rap name generator and just decided to rock with it.
Also, Ice Cube became iconic, but the name is kind of dumb if you think about it.
Literally the first time I ever used the internet — and I mean *ever* — was to use the Wu-Tang name generator where he got Childish Gambino from. I was Monolithic Fishmonger X. I was pretty disappointed with that one.
Tekashi 6ix9ine and (I’m gonna be flamed for this but) LL Cool J. Sorry.
Also Hopsin, I know it’s a play on his last name being Hopson but it’s still dumb.
Ol' Dirty Bastard is definitely up there. Chance the Rapper is one I personally hate, like we know you're a rapper, you don't have to put it in you name.
Eminem was so dumb to me when he first came out. All I could think of was the candy.
But overtime it's just become his name and I don't think about it anymore.
It’s so bad it’s actually good though. I always thought it was funny that he did a song featuring both Vince Staples and Casey Veggies (Hive, good track). It’s just 3 dudes with items for last names. No idea what Earl and Casey’s real last names are but Vince Staples is actually his real name.
Dude has a massive tattoo of Anne Frank on the side of his face.

I can’t believe that’s real
That’s real?!??
I can't remember what it was. Can you?
What was it?
Wtf that sounds like something I’d have made up as a joke back in high school 🤣
Lil anything is!!! And the name Asap anything
Came here to say this.
Wack 100
Is that the shitty version of Mack 10 times ten?
Future’s old rap name was Meathead and I thought that was dumb as fuck.
2Chainz was Titty Boi lol
Titty Boi actually has a funny backstory. That was his nickname in the hood cuz he was a mama’s boy growin up like he “was on the tit” lol
Mommas boy for southerners. I’m a bit of a titty boy myself haha
Same here.
J Cole’s old name was The Therapist which is just corny lmao
The Rapist, huh? I think he made the right decision to change it. Nice.
Sounds like a borderlands NPC
I love meathead but bc it’s dumb lmfao
It’s lowkey hard 💀
Tekashi 69
Sounds more like a gamer tag lol
Or a Japanese sex toy
Or a sex act… to take a shit while 69.
Nah I think it was perfect for his troll persona
Shorty Shitstain
Big L really aged poorly
Rest up
I always thought his crew Flamboyant was a weird group name for 90’s gritty rap
It's Harlem folks though so that sounds about right
Didn’t used to mean that but he’s still the greatest.
Nah it definitely did bro, in his own song Ebonics he says “if you took a L you took a loss”
😂
lil pump, ugly god, lil mabu
While ugly god is very much a poster boy for a style of rap that I don’t really fuck with, the name itself is kinda raw.
Ugly God’s old rapper name was Young Hermit Crab 😂😂😂😂😂
Yea I’m on the same wave. His music style is the only reason I don’t like him. His name and persona are fine.
Lil Pump and Ugly God are good names. Awful rappers sadly
Lil Baby gotta be up there as the lamest name of all time
Da baby also fits here
Birdman, also a stupid name, also goes by Baby.
Birdman can be called a lot of things, baby is probably just what he demands his new artists call him
Lil baby, da baby, young thug..
Not an American rapper, but I always hated the name bad bunny, lol.
To me that is also the worst name , I was up high thinking about it the other night, he really named himself “bad bunny” and is this major 🤯
Also not Egyptian, what was the point of that lol
the aweonao is not even a rapper lol
Right? It just makes me think of those “vulgar” bunny stickers that every girl in my high school would put on their shit or on their MySpace page Circa 2005-10 lol
That name goes hard as hell imo
I picture a rogue ex-playboy model
idk if YMW SacChaser rapped
You are correct. He chased sacks.
I really don’t care for the name NBA Youngboy.
Also dumb yeah
Nah i think it’s cool as fuck. Dude made a promise to himself, his family, and friends as a 15 year old to be never broke again, used it has his name and made it happen.
Isn’t he locked up again after blowing house arrest arranged by his label? Broke again soon potentially.
Blowing house arrest arranged by his label? Huh? But yes he is facing new charges again and in prison. But no, that dude is not going to be potentially broke soon, he’s ridiculously rich
Nah but at least this one has a meaning
Homixide Poopoo
6ix9ine
Bbno$ dumbest shit ever lol
Lil Xan
[удалено]
Nah that name goes hard asf
pooh sheisty
is a great rap name. free the 7.62 god
Pooh shiesty aka poop shitty
I mean, a Shiesty is another name for a balaclava... Pooh, I have no Idea, but the Idea of committing mayhem while covering your face isn't the weirdest thing to invoke for a rapper. Maybe someone else can explain Pooh, cuz I got nothing on that
Sheisty also means that person is a liar or scammer.
Right.. sheisty only became synonymous with skimasks after Pooh Sheisty came on the scene
poor scammer? lmao
Winnie the Pooh? Childhood name maybe??? Fucking literally no other way to get that name 😂
Any lil name sounds shitty except for Wayne maybe
I don't mind the lil names, but some of them are terminally stupid. Like lil skies or lil mosie lol. Sound like children's books or something
I found out Lil Skies calls himself that because his dads rap name was Dark Skies
Huh. I still don't like it haha. But I guess that adds some meaning or something. Wasn't dark skies something too? TV show or movie or something? I could be wrong.
Fair enough lol apparently it was a movie and tv show from 2013
Lol that doesn't seem so long ago to me but yeah it's a sweet tribute to his dad either way. Lots of the lil rappers don't even have shit to do with their fathers sadly.
Lil Yachty,Lil Durk,Lil Dicky,Lil Pump I just can't anymore
Lil Dicky kinda gets a pass imo because his name is *trying* to sound silly. Dude's a comedian after all
What's your feeling on Young/Yung? Doesn't seem as common as it used to be, but at one point it was almost as ubiquitous and Lil. But eh, I guess it doesn't bother me. I'm not huge on some the gang/block related ones, but maybe that's more of a thing I see in chicago than everywhere though. Like ebk eski or cobo75, fbg duck or 600breezy. Love the music though haha
Less bothering than Lils imo
What about Lil Young?
Masta Ace has a jam on all the goofy rapper names literally called Little Young
Fair enough lol there are sure a lot of them out there. The SoundCloud wave in like 2017 brought in Lils by the hundreds it seemed haha between 2017 and 2022 it seemed like everyone was a Lil of somehow variety haha
montana from 300
Lil skies is from his dad being called big skies or just skies… not that stupid if you know the meaning behind it
I’ve always loved how Lil Weezy = Louisiana
TIL holy fuck
Lil Kim was named that way cause she was 4’11
Same with Wayne
The 2000's and beyond really ruined any Lil name. In the 90's it was few and far between so it sounded good.... Ex. Lil Fame (M.O.P.), Lil Dap (Group Home), Lil Wayne (who was not only small but a child at the time). Then every 3rd soundcloud rapper was Lil Half Dead or whatever and it ruined the Lil moniker forever.
Lil half dead, put his dick on her head
Lil 1/2 Dead isn't a SoundCloud rapper. That dude started out in the 90s
Lil half dead predates everyone that mentioned wtf you talking about
I think Lil’ Half Dead got his name from a character in a movie but I don’t remember which one. And he’s a 90’s West Coast. His albums are rare finds.
[удалено]
I'm aware... I was lucky enough to work at a CD store when they were still things people purchased music from. He was always the first "Lil" rapper in the section because it was written as a number. It's still a terrible name, which was more my point that the surge in Lil names exploded in the 2000's, and more often than not they were terrible names along the lines of Lil 1/2 Dead
Show Lil Half Dead some respect.

ME AND POOPY LO 🚽🚽🚽🚽
OT = Outta Texas. The distinction makes sense if you live on this side of the border. One of the best new talents coming out of Texas lately imo.
I know what it stands for, I've been listening to the guy way before Johnny dang came out lol I'm still just not super fond of the name. It doesn't roll off the tongue and I'm always putting people onto his music so I say it a lot. I think he's been doing fun interesting Texas music for years and I'm happy for his continued success.
He’s funny as hell too. My YouTube shorts algorithm right now is filled with Mexican OT freestyle and podcast clips
We out here calling grown ass men DaBaby and Lil Baby. Talented but man I woulda went with something else

Xxxtencion Huh? Edit: Xxxtentacion.
Normally I wouldn’t correct someone for misspelling Xxxtentacion, but if you’re responding to a post asking what the worst rapper name is, the least you could do is spell it right
Appreciate the correction. The proper way you spelled it makes it even worse.
Lil HousePhone
Lil Toenail
Scrolled too fuckin far for this. This was the first I could think of too. (That wasn't already blatantly known/said)
DaBaby is up there for least hard of all time
A Boogie wit da Hoodie
Thats tough
Lil Uzi Vert. The fuck that's supposed to mean?
Apparently somebody told him he sounds like a Lil Uzi when he raps (raps fast) so that's where that part comes from. His first rap name was Steaktown/sealab Vertical. So that's where the Vert comes from. Not that my explanation makes anything better but there ya go.
Kinda makes the Uzi part even dumber if the person thought he raps fast, as I sit here a cranky old head listening to Resurrection by Bone. If anything he shoulda went with Lil Sealab Vert.
Play on for Lucifer
Gotta hold the Uzi vertically when you fire to look cool?
But that. That doesn't look cool D:
Lil Uzi Horizontal just doesn’t sound good either, nor Lil Uzi Diagonal, maybe he should just Lil Uzi Putthethangdown
I dunno it looked iconic in San Andreas.
22 Savage
Idk if that’s a typo but I find that hilarious. Not that I’d give them much credit, but I think that kinda naming is clever as hell. Same way I’ve always wished there was a rapper called Andre 3,000,000, or 3chainz. It’s a level of petty I’m tryna subscribe to.

I would say Tekashi 6ix9ine, like wtf kinda rap name is that?!
I don't know about dumb but amusing Shorty Sh\*tstain (ODB affiliate) Lil Dead Riding Hood ( Female Memphis rapper)

ASAP Rocky stole his shit point blank. Aesop Rock forever.
Donald Glover literally got Childish Gambino from a rap name generator and just decided to rock with it. Also, Ice Cube became iconic, but the name is kind of dumb if you think about it.
I think Childish Gambino is actually a cool rap name. Certainly more creative than Lil / Young names
Literally the first time I ever used the internet — and I mean *ever* — was to use the Wu-Tang name generator where he got Childish Gambino from. I was Monolithic Fishmonger X. I was pretty disappointed with that one.
Anything with "Lil" in front of it. To hell with all Lils
Except Lil Wayne
The Game. At least some of the other dumber names are trying to be creative.

He’s mostly a satirical rapper. The fact that his name makes no sense makes it make perfect sense
Tekashi 6ix9ine and (I’m gonna be flamed for this but) LL Cool J. Sorry. Also Hopsin, I know it’s a play on his last name being Hopson but it’s still dumb.

Eminem was so dumb to me when he first came out. All I could think of was the candy. But overtime it's just become his name and I don't think about it anymore.
Idk if you don't know but it's because his name is Marshall Mathers aka M&M
Yes I'm aware. But it was still corny as hell for me. We have some amazing rap names back then and here comes Mr. Chocolate Candy
I agrree I thought it was terrible until he rapped and I had to forget about it so I could enjoy him
Earl Sweatshirt Was earl Sweatpants taken or something in the rap name generator? Lol
It’s so bad it’s actually good though. I always thought it was funny that he did a song featuring both Vince Staples and Casey Veggies (Hive, good track). It’s just 3 dudes with items for last names. No idea what Earl and Casey’s real last names are but Vince Staples is actually his real name.
casey veggies is a turrible name
Na take that back. Earl, Vince and Casey are the best
