More rappers should change their names, à la Killer Mike

HE AIN'T A KILLER, BUT DON'T PUSH HIM
Michael Render, the Atlanta hip-hop artist formerly known as Killer Mike, would now like to be known as Mike Bigga.
The reason for this is, as he explained to AllHipHop.com, “I really feel like I’m bigger than what I have been in the past and I’ve managed to get legendary status from being a raw rap guy in terms of being able to come out of the shadows of the hardships I’ve had.”
That’s not a sentence any English teacher could support, but the decision to remove the “Killer” from his name probably is.
What other rappers should change their name, you ask?
50 Cent
Suggested Change: 55 Cents
Reason: Inflation!
Young Jeezy
Suggested Change: Not As Young As He Used To Be Jeezy
Reason: 31 is young if you’re a tree, not so much if you’re a rapper.
Akon
Suggested Change: AUpstandingCitizen
Reason: The Smoking Gun’s 2008 report showed this guy exaggerated his criminal record.
DJ Khaled
Suggested Change: Dude who doesn’t sing, rap or produce but has tons of songs anyway.
Reason: More accurate
Ghostface Killah
Suggested Change: Ghostface Bigga
Reason: Oh, forget it.
Don’t think these are funny? Screw you! Be funnier in the comments section.
