The name “6ix9ine” gives me “your password must include both letters and numbers” vibes
Only if it had an exclamation mark at the end, gotta got that special character
Fucking gold
sixixnineine
I unironically read this as "six-ix nine-ine" every time.
lololol
To be honest Skippa Da Flippa just sounds like the rap name of the leader of the penguins of Madagascar
Is that the guy that sings "I like to move it move it" in the first movie?
@@falo4043 No, it's King Julien that sings I Like to Move It. Skipper is the leader of the Penguins of Madagascar.

@@itsnachikethahere He can make it work. I think Thebe Kgositsile would sound pretty sick on a book. But as for rapper names you sir have a point
To be fair Earl Sweatshirt is pretty much a character, just like Wolf Haley
it goes with the odd future brand. they all have random names in their rapper names
"He ain't even named Earl"

You know, Pooh Shiesty gets even more fecal when you are German, because "Shiesty" is pronounced like the German word "Scheiße", which means poo. So as a German knowing English, this dude bascically named himself Poo Poo and it's hilarious.
Shiesty also sounds a bit like "chié" (defecated) in French.

Actually Will Smith DID have a rap name, The Fresh Prince. Back in the day when he was paired with DJ Jazzy Jeff, that was what he called himself, but after he made it big as an actor he just started going by his birth name
Fresh Prince is a damn good rap name too.
WTF Melon missed this take!
Yeah wtf that was when he was literally just a rapper. Wasn’t a very good one but that’s a decent name. Melon missed this one.
Y'all forget how uncultured this melon is
Came to the comments looking for this. Can't believe Melon missed this, genuinely thought he was being sarcastic.
"Eazy E's Incredi-boy"
Didn't have to murder my man's like this
Lil Nas X’s given name is actually Montero. Why the hell didn’t he just make that his artist name? It’s a kick ass name
I agree it sounds badass. Same goes for M.I.A, her real name’s Matangi. She could’ve just gone by Matangi.
I only in the past couple of years gave rap/hip hop a real honest look (and ended up liking a lot) but legitimately when I saw my friends talking about Nas I thought they were just shortening Lil Nas X, for like months
@@millacernemusicm.i.a is fine imo
I guess it was because of fears of getting struck by a trademark infringement lawsuit from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance as Montero is also the name of an SUV that Mitsubishi Motors used to sell here in the US (aka. the Pajero). LOL
@@Astolfo2001i googled it and it said : “He took on the name Lil Nas X, which was a tribute, he says, to the rapper Nas from Queens Bridge, New York. The word “Lil” has been popular in rap since Lil Wayne. And X is a common name amongst people of a certain culture (think: Malcolm X).”
"G Eazy sounds like a watered down version of a good rap name" so it's perfect, cuz he's a watered down version of a good rapper
The most meh rapper in existence
I can't believe I listened to him before so much, but I guess it was mostly because of the instrumental, those are actually really good
he has slaps but i hear you.
I’m gonna sound like a hipster here but G-Eazy was a good rapper until like 2015 when he tried to go full trap. I’m not ashamed to be a fan I just am disappointed with the last couple albums
@@RAND0MC0MBUSTi0N Yeah, when he got in that 'trap' thing he just ended up being the dude that's just there in the music video with all the other features
i feel like lil nas x could have easily gone with his own first name. montero is a nice name and it fits him
i spent forever trying to find out what the song name “montero” meant. nowhere that i found said that’s it was his first name. why am i just learning this now lol
@@josephlucatorto4772 bruh his name is montero??
@@josephlucatorto4772 he literally says “my first name is montero” in the interview with anthony lol. tbh i think that was the main way i found out. or possibly from a tweet he made?

About the Will Smith one, there is something to be said about an artist simply using their name as their rap name (Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Denzel Curry, etc.). It exudes a type of confidence that I admire that the music they’re putting out is an unfiltered representation of them.
It also helps if you’ve got a cool name which makes Will Smith’s choice even more impressive in confidence because his name is generic. He could have stuck with The Fresh Prince.
i found this rapper called Lil Happy Lil Sad and i just think that's the funniest itteration of the "Lil" name thing i've seen. his name literally means meh
Meh should've been his name
@@FALslayer Lil meh
Emo rapper
God I used to listen to him in my emo rap obsession phase
Let's argue: Anthony eats his victims before he kills them.
Always knew "vegan" was a coverup.
Only if they're lucky.
I...agree.
FBI before breaking in fantano's house:
This is .... Not Good
*EXPLOSION*
I... AGREE
The most unfortunate names have to be Aesop rock and Illogic. They both have collabed too and both of their names are consistency mistaken for newer rap artists who are more popular. They had no choice or way to avoid it either. Its the saddest rap names.
I can't believe we didn't even mention Coolio, like he sounds like the "rapper" character in a TV Show.
I love how Anthony went from “I can’t believe Eminem is named after a candy” to literally saying Marshall Mathers (M.M.) over and over again and still didn’t make the connection
I think it was a bit. At least I hope it was…😂
Not only that, I think "Eminem" is a catchy name too
That and "being chocolate/black on the inside"
He just hates Eminem 😒
@IRO2GU no, I don't think he was
If anyone could see the future and predict ASAP Rocky, Aesop Rock would be the guy to do it.
There's gotta be some lyrics somewhere that proves this theory.
If anyone could see the Future, Odd Future would be guys to do it
God i love None Shall Pass
Will’s rap name was “The Fresh Prince” he stuck to Will Smith when his show started because he wanted his name to be something he could be known for going on with the rest of his life
G Eazy being called Eazy E’s Incredaboy is one of the funniest things I’ve heard in the longest time
Lil Nas X should just start going by Montero Hill he's been blessed with a cool real name.
I think his mother named him based on the monterosport car
I believe he doesn't use Montero as his stage name out of fears of getting hit by a trademark infringement lawsuit from the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance as its also the name of a SUV that Mitsubishi Motors used to sell over here in the US (Aka. Pajero).
Childish Gambino is a cool name without context and the way it was chosen is perfectly fine but what makes it odd is how little it reflects the kind of music he actually makes. You would never listen to his music without context from any era and expect the guy who made it to be "Childish Gambino".
Yeah I agree, especially 3.15.20 and AML really just reflects Donald Glover
Not sure about that. I think you can make a case for his pre-camp material
The name make more sense in his Nerdcore Hip Hop mixtapes
Troy finally became a rapper after “101 Rap”

When thugger first came out I wonder why it took so long for someone named Young Thug to blow up and always wondered about all the failed Young Thugs that existed before him
Young Thugs die on the street everyday and nobody bats an eye

@@akielsteewart8577 yeah he's gay lmao
@Ben Davidson Straight up mentioned that in an interview and said with that many kids he WISHES he was gay
@@KhairiHamed the fuck is the context for that
there is a dialogue in berserk manga when someone tells to gambino (guts "father") "don't be childish, gambino"
also, will smith's rapper name is The Fresh Prince
Will Smiths rap name is literally “The fresh prince”. But it’s not well known. Not like he had a whole TV show or Rap hits like “Parents don’t understand”.
2:55 I'm crying how spot on that lil dicky verse is 😂

In Germany, the ongoing trend with rappers is wildly adding numbers to their names and it just sounds incredibly stupid. Some of the most famous rappers/rap groups atm are: Apache 207, Ufo 361 and 187 Strassenbande
Vergiss nicht die ganzen -ero's
Apache 207 sounds dope in English at least
Apache 207 sounds like my favourite pop punk band in 2003.
@@charliedawson6318 they honestly all sound like forgotten Pop Punk bands from the late-1990s-2000s
Du hast die 102 Boys vergessen
I personally love how Eminem got his name, it takes his initials, M and M, and turns it into an actual name instead of just calling himself M&M
I’m honestly wondering if Fantano somehow didn’t realize that? The reason for the name is super obvious
i was told it meant "Everyone's Mom is Nice Except mine"
@Mel Lamar Kinda like how we got Linkin Park because Lincoln Park would be too expensive to trademark
@@ErasMcras it was a rumour that someone started
Hence why no one but Fantano thought it was a bad rap name.
6:48 pretty good Dr Evil impression haha!
Oh my God you're right
Tekashi 6ix9ine is like someones bad password.
If rapper names went the way of light novel titles: "after the death of my father I decided to honor him by becoming a rapper as well while he encourages me from the heavens where he met Biggie Smalls who became my biggest heavenly fan".
I like this, and everyone else should too.
“Is it wrong to pick up hoes in a dungeon?”
“The Time I Got Reincarnated As A Gangbanger”
Or just "Af-de" for short
That's just convoluted enough to work it.

El-P might not be the best name but that fella El Producto has a banger of a name
EL P name is fire
El-P is a fucking great name, and El-P is a fucking amazing rapper
@@sittingyak More like El-Penis
El-P is a clever name, at least, on the surface. But he loves to twist it and that's what makes it great, plus the obvious El-P dropped an LP bit.
Seriously, the Last Huzzah has an awesome twist on his moniker.
@@sittingyak yeah I know I was making a joke
Long rap names are the equivalent of those anime titles which are just full sentances.
Yup can't agree more 😂 for example welcome to the demon school iruma kun 😂
“That time I died in senpais arms and reincarnated into George Washington’s house slave”😂
yeah
@@bushraider3492 "i really like taking showers with socks on but it freaks out my talking dog who has 3 guns attached to him"
we're making shit up, right?
'that time i got reincarnated as a slime' is the first thought that came to my head reading this.
Well, Eminem went into the game with that name because of the phrase 'Every Mother Is Nice Except Mine' he created and he swore to himself to keep it.
I feel like A$AP Rocky should have chose a different name, to keep from being confused with Aesop Rock, who was already an established rapper at that point...
A rap name generator gave me the name "excessive dreamer" so that should be a contender
With El-P, I'm just imagining a "who's on first" situation happening.
"Hey, did you hear that new El-P album?"
"Who's LP album?"
"El-P"
"Who's LP?"
"No, not The Who, El-P"
Et cetera.
What
"Who is LP album?"
It was El-Producto at first.
But he has a history of this. Definitive Juxtaposition = DefJux (his label) to Fantastic Damage = FanDam (first solo album).
As he says in Deep Space 9mm: Who wanna hold hands with this sicko malnutritionist
soaked in newspeak?
He's a bit of a Newspeak/Orwell fan
Not to mention there's another artist that isn't a rapper that goes by LP
And to furthur not mention the band ELP (Emerson, Lake & Palmer)
Will Smith is a man of many talents. Not just rapping, but slapping too.
Will Smith slaps so hard tho
Slappa da rappa
I love when he listed the things a rapper name needs it sounded like a website telling you how to make a strong password
So impressive how Anthony can do his bass solos blindfolded with a USB steering wheel while his little brother has the controller.
dunkey reference

I heard that he also has the world record on the level Bowser’s Big Bean Burrito

@@ygleopard8334 wow you understood the reference, fantastic job
Do people forget that Will Smith not only acted but also rapped as the Fresh Prince in his early career?
@Mao LeBron apparently anthony and the commenter did
Thank you! I think it's because they grew up after the fresh Prince era.
@@samiransar387 well, anthony is in his mid-thirties right now, so he definitely grew up in that era. i think he just either forgot or just knows very little about will smith tbh
Yeah im just sat there like Will Smith didn't rap as "Will Smith" he was the Fresh Prince and not just from the series
I was wondering the same.
Honestly I'm so glad we started on the Aesop Rock/A$AP Rocky thing because I know folx who get it twisted all the time.
There needs to be a part 2

“When you guys have questions, do you not look things up?” That’s the main question I have for most people who argue about stuff, but then never dig into their pocket and use their phone to find the answer.
