The 25 Worst Rapper Names of All Time

A good rap name is like good rap: it sounds effortless without coming off sloppy, and it never tries too hard. Whether its vibe is biblical (Hova), comic book villain (Biggie Smalls) or comic book hero (Method Man); whether the name is self-imposed (Big Baby Jesus) or God-given (Kanye West and Tupac Shakur didn't really have a choice, now did they?) you know when you've heard a good rap name. And just as certainly, you know when you've heard a bad one. We count down the 25 worst.

25
Lil' Scrappy
Unless you're a puppy who can somehow rap, this name does not work. Even if you're literally both little and scrappy, there are better ways to express it. Lil' Scrappy is really just a step away from Mr. Woofles.
24
69 Boyz
The geniuses behind the song "Tootsee Roll" supposedly named themselves after the fact that they were all born in 1969, but the sexual connotations aren't lost on anyone. Now, it's strange enough for a group of guys to define themselves by their mutual love of the 69 position. But throw in the hilarious possibility of a concert opening with the boast, "Yo, we 69 Boys, ya'll," and you've got yourself a pretty questionable name. (Also, if you have the time and the stomach for a trip down memory lane, check out the above video, in which the already questionably named 69 Boyz perform stripper dance moves on a stage full of men in matching outfits. It's fantastic.)
Is he a millionaire who blends in with the rest of us? Or is he a millionaire that blends in with other millionaires because being rich is just so natural to him? Or perhaps he has a million chameleons? Or maybe he is a million chameleons who have joined together, combining their camouflage skills to appear as a rapper in order to take advantage of today's enormous market for bad hip-hop. Or perhaps he's only a tea millionaire with an enormous collection of fragrant, healing Chamomile teas. Either way, he's an idiot.
22
Bubba Sparxxx
First, he named himself after what we can only assume was his frat nickname at whatever Southern junior college he attended. Then, he threw in the triple X to give it just the right porn-site-where-you-can-go-to-watch-fat-people-have-sex vibe.
21
Birdman
The above image of the badass cartoon character he named himself after really says it all.

It's not an article about the 25 worst RAPPERS. It's an article about the 25 worst rapper NAMES. A lot of the guys on this list are actually good at what they do.

Interesting that no female rappers made the list. Personally I think Ice Cream Tee should at least have gotten an honorable mention. :)

Excuse me not to be blunt or nothing but if you can tell the World the most 25 worst rappers you can atleast show your love for hip-hop. to mention Noreaga in that list is nonsense.Nore held hip-hop up for a minute. He might not have a billion dollars(maybe he do?) but to put him in this list lets me know where you at or you were at. And Gnarls Barkley, he makes inspirations in his own way and we have ALL vibed to him. Definitely not deserving to be Worst of 25. mrharvey01@yahoo.com Redo the list man.

"Paperboy" would be a good name for a rapper who remixed the music from the DOS game of the same name, but other than that...

first of all, I don't know if this counts as rap, but, Limp Bizkit? really?

second, Nappy Roots, Shyne, Brotha Lynch Hung, Too $hort, Blackalicious, Partners In Rhyme, Sticky Fingaz, Soulja Boy? Don't get me wrong, they're all good rappers(except for Soulja Boy...f*g) but they could have spent more then 7 seconds picking a name.

Two "words": Flo Rida.

That is a terrible name.

Mjolnir!

Don't know if its already been mentioned, but Camu Tao is a pretty stupid name, as well. Should get with Swollen Members.

I need to find every lyric ever muttered by #1; if only for the small chance someone will ask me what I'm listing to. I can tell them, with conviction, "Shorty Shitstain".

Cuninlynguists are awesome, though yeah their name kinda sucks.

Out of the admittedly little rap I listen to, K-os has to have the worst name... but that really has no effect on how great his music is. It's laughable, but forgivable.

Rap differs from other traditions because it comes off as totally ignorant and gay.
It's quite possible that they jerk off to cars with large wheels.

who has EVER said Rap can't be representative of culture and tradition? Hip Hop and Rap ARE a culture and tradition going back to Afrikaa Bambataa and DJ Kool Herc around 35 years ago...that's a whole generation brought up in this culture and tradition.

"a sellout fish who gets paid to convince people to eat his family." That actually sounds like the black community historically, selling people from other tribes to europeans, selling out the future of the black community in exchange for short term and exclusive gains. And people say rap can't be representative of culture or tradition.
