How are rap names built?
Most rap names follow a few patterns. Once you see them, you can mix your own:
- Adjective + noun. Something you are plus something you'd put on a chain: Golden Pothole, Velvet Parking Ticket, Quiet Thunderclap.
- A prefix. "Lil," "Big," "MC" and "Young" turn almost any word into a rap name: Lil Thermos, Big Spreadsheet, MC Leftovers, Young Voicemail.
- Spelling tricks. A $ for an S, a z on the end, a k where a c should be: Ca$h Register, Snackz, Krispy Kalendar.
- Real-name riffs. Stretch, cut or rhyme your own name: Danny becomes Dan the Dynamo, Sofia becomes So-Fly-A, Kevin becomes Kevlar.
