Rapper/MC Stage Name Help?
Kronic is very unoriginal. Kontaguz looks cool with the spelling. Dajeruz is just alright. I would keep making music and let the name naturally come to you instead of stressing about picking a name.

Why do rappers name themselves MC?
The term MC (Also spelled Emcee) stands for master of ceremonies but has been adopted by hip hop culture as a term to describe a rapper who acts as a crowd pleaser at live events. Emcees repeat lines that get the crowd hyped up, ie. 'yes yes y'all. And ya don't stop. To the beat y'all. And ya don't stop.' A few Notable emcees are mos def, common, black thought of the roots, and eminem. One popular display of an emcee at work is in 8 mile when rabbit is battling.'everybody from the 313, put your motherfuckin hands up and follow me'

Another guy went by Cadence.Just don’t expect your Havok to be able to throw hands with Marvel’s one.
Why do most rappers have the word "Lil" used as their stage name?
The reason why MOST (read: vast majority) of rappers have the word ‘Lil’ included in their ‘stage name’ is very simple:Traditionally things like your ‘street name’ (which, in turn, become your rap name, DJ name, graffiti name, etc.) are nicknames given to you by your crew (or ‘gang’ if you like. Although street culture is far more complicated and nuanced than it is understood by most (read: vast majority of ) people. Since being in a true blue “gang” - as mainstream america understands them - isn’t really as common or attractive as the media would have you believe.).So as I was saying, you typically get your street name from your crew, or your general associates, and usually from OGs or someone who is of a ‘higher rank’ than you.You get them early on. Some stick, some don’t, and sometimes you have more than one. But usually, you get the ‘Lil’ qualifier because you’re young. Sometimes there are older kids who have a same or similar name, so you get the ‘Lil’ in front to differentiate between the two.So the short answer is, that it’s most commonly a street name, given to you by the OGs.

Why would Jim Jones (the rapper) name himself after the REAL Jim Jones?
The real guy was a drug addict who moved to the jungle in Guyana to run a cult and slept with both men and women. Why would some thuggish hard core rap artist want his stage name to be from a gay man who was in a cult, fled the US overnight because he was scared of the FBI/CIA and ended up commiting suicide in the jungle? I know there are some rappers with names like "Capone", "Noreiaga", "Scarface" etc... but JIM JONES??!?!?! I wonder if he even knows the whole story with that man. If so, he probably wouldnt have taken that stage name. Now when I hear his name, all I think of is a homo rap artist.
