    Also it has been said, if you scratch their names on a turntable, razor would sound like Rza and genius would sound like Gza. Read that a long time ago.

    Jay Z- When he was younger he was really into the Zebra Cakes pastry, so he named himself "Jammin Zebracakes" and shortened it to Jay Z

    50 Cent- got his name from him being knowned as a talented coin flipper. There is actually tournaments to this day that have like quotes from him and ? . Dude stayed popping tails.(pause)

    Cam'ron- Cameron first rap name was simply Cameron, but he got the nickname from folks because whenever they recorded him, he always asked " yo, is this camera on?"

    Mase- I think I everyone knows this story, Mase got his name from being an mace seller for women in early Harlem, hence why people called him Murder Mase because he was a sorta vilgilante for saving folks, which is why he became a pastor later in his career and save people with the holy Spirit.

    Faboulous - Got his name from his ? uncle. Faboulous mentioned this in a Source article awhile back in 03 , how his uncle was the only person to support his rapping style, no matter how chipped his tooth was.

    Birdman - he used to be Baby, but changed his name because he was inspired by a PBS documentary on Birds and bushes. Dude actually sleeps in a birdcage, I'm from New Orleans and I know people who know him. Them bushes jokes is a actually real.

    Lmaoooo u a fool

    Bleak said both in interviews. Both were for Rap City. He gave that ? about the city because he was interviewing Big ? , who is a woman. He then interviewed Joe Clair and gave the real answer.
