    A noticeable trend with a lot of contemporary rapper names is that they sound like what would normally be left on the "cutting room floor" when coming up with a legit rapper name, but with no perspective/anyone to tell them "no" or provide a second opinion, they just went ahead with the first option. "Young Thug", "Joey Bada$$", "Lil Nas X"...

      There was a very odd trend for a while of naming yourself after random objects or locations. Frankly I prefer the nonsense names people are doing now, at least I don’t have to try and tell someone my playlists are full of artists with names like “paint tube” or “socks” or “Ida Hoe”
