wuzup dawgz ?
i was buyin tha XXL with tha big Shyne Interview.. and inside i saw  a lil article bout, where Rappers Got their Name from..

i just wrote them down here.. and i hope u can push dizz topic with some more Rappers and where they got their name from...

aiight.. here we go..

Lil Bow Wow: "I got the name from Snoop. I was at a concert and i had just got on stage and i started rappin with him. After the show he wanted me back stage and i finished up the tour with him. Basically thatz how i got discoverd and what happend was, he just gave me my namer as i finished out the tour with him"

JT Money: "Yo, JT are my initials and i am all bout that money. Or, if u want to take it to the ol`skool, 'Jackin Tourists for Money'. JT for Money. Ya heard?"

E-40: "My first name starts with an E for Earl. I used to drink at least five 40-ounce of Olde English brew a day fo' real, fo' real. So summer of 1986 i was caked up, posted in front of my momma house. I was drinkin a 40 and my dude Derrek called me E-40"

Jayo Felony: "I was lock'd up when i was like 14 and i just seen 'felony' carved in the desk and JAYO stand for 'Justice Against Y'all Oppressors.' So i stuck with me from juvenile hall to now."

btw.. JAYO dont mean 'Justice Against Y'all Oppressors' in an interview i read that it means: 'Just Against Y'all Officers' *g* and i like dat name more

and the last from me now:

Lil' Cease: "Biggie gave it to me. We were looking through sum old Mafia Book and we found that name so he told me that was what he was gonna call me."
