I’m not a fan of the names Mos Def, Puff and Killer Mike changed to in their careers, but perhaps that’s just me. THe good folks at TheWellVersed spotlighted these alternative monikers, and you can judge for yourself if they’re dope or nope.

Misc.

Curren$y Changes hip hop to no limit , young money , creative control with dash . this is a best rapper alive Jets over everything bitch
ima a huge Pusha T fan & i always thought his name was holding him back from getting the proper respect and attention he deserves. It hard to go mainstream when your name refers to someone who “moves weight”. Not sure what he should change it to but if worked so well for 2Chainz then maybe it could put Pusha closer to the Rick Rosses, Lil Waynes and Jay-Zs of the world.
I mean his brother Malice said he gonna change his name…
Ruck to Sean Price (Pass)
Triple Six Mafia to Three 6 Mafia (Pass)
Dre to Andre 3000 (Pass)
The Game to Game (Fail)
For me, Tity Boi to 2 Chainz win, is way better.
Mos Def To Yasiin Bey, the biggest FAIL!!!
2Pac to Makaveli
mc ricky d to slick rick
crustified dibbs to r.a. the rugged man
