"Eminem" is/was a stupid name to pick

Postby FreeSpeech » Jan 25th, '11, 05:12

OK, I love the name Eminem, it carries so much with it. When I first heard of him, I didn't even think of the candy. But, back when he was anobody, this was a stupid name to pick. Why be associated with a tiny lil chocolate candy? Yes I know it's his initials, but I can't help but think this was an awful name to pick BACK THEN. I love it now, but given the circumstances, IDK why he would pick it.

Here's a fun hypothetical, what if he wasn't called Eminem? What if our favorite rapper was "Lil Marshy" or "Marshall the Martian" or something? Haha i know this is a stupid thread, just food for thought...

And then you found ten dollars? :p
Maybe it's hatred I spew, maybe it's food for the spirit
Maybe it's beautiful music I made for you to just cherish
But I'm debated disputed hated and viewed in America
as a motherfuckin drug addict - like you didn't experiment?

Nice intelligent response. I'm pretty sure you all hop on little thread-hating bandwagons, one person facepalms or whatever the hell you think is funny and then you all do it. I said this was a stupid thread, that's why it's in chit chat, because it doesn't matter. Eminem is a great name now. I'm just saying it was a dumb name to pick way back when. Can you honestly tell me you would advise an upcoming rapper to name himself after chocolate pellets?

And yeah I'm slimshady10, I'm not hiding anything. I had that name when I just browsed and didn't post, after I'd been posting for a while I changed it because it's ver Stanish and I'm not.

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await
Word on Satan, as I drop, fall to my knees before this Quija board and I pray
Now I lay me down to sleep
I do this shit in my sleep, I’m sleepin' now, imagine if I awake

He's also got Slim Shady.

Seriously, it was a creative way to spell his initials and it works well.

Yeah Slim Shady's sick. And yeah it's creative, and it works well now, I'm just suprised he thought M&M was a good idea. Honestly, if you never heard of him, would you think naming yourself after that is a good idea?

It doesn't matter though, plenty of succesful artists have bad names, just look at The Beatles.

Um...dipshit, "Eminem" is the most brilliant rap name of all time.

Oh noez, associated with a candy. Damn...I'm sure he'd much rather be called "Lil M" or something KEWL like dat...represent his small stature and small penis.

Haha I love butthurt Stans. I said I love the name, it just was risky picking it because of the association. It's not brilliant really. No names are brilliant, they're just names. It's clever, but any elementary school kid could piece together that his initials are the same as a popular candy.

Chillllll
