Man, I thought you were making some of those up!

reply

Nope! I didn't even realize Donald Glover was The Childish Gambino, plus Lil Yatchy, Lil Boozy, Silkk the Shokker

reply

That's a lot of Gotti's.

reply

They could do a reality show called "That's way too many Gottis"

reply

The more unique without offending potential fans, the better.

James Smith: To Normal. GAME: Better. Scrappy pappy: Best out of these 3.

reply

What about Young Jock Young Buck Young Jizzy
Are they better then Lil Yatchy, Lil Boozy, Lil Flip, Lil Diagilop

reply

Is that why Will Smith sucked once he went by his real name instead of Fresh Prince?

reply

We have some here too like " the parasites" and "BUG Mafia"

Contemporary Rap and HipHop primarily targets a pre-teen and teen market... So it's a mix of childish and adolescent themes in the music... 🤔

Especially whatever is used or packaged in a corporate environment as a consumer product... It has been skewing more childish as the general popular culture has become more infantalised... 😉

I agree. I thought Eminem was a weird name when he first broke out. Seems normal now.

reply

Damn! Ya gotta love Scrappy Pappy!
😎 Cool name!

reply

Much more likable then if he chose Tubby Hubby or something :)

When it comes to rap and the people who preform rap, you could fit my knowledge of it into a shot glass. I have no idea of who Scrappy Pappy is. I just like that name! I like saying it.
Scrappy Pappy makes me Happy!😎

reply

Reminded me of the song from the Flintstones.

"Have a happy hubby, keep your hubby happy, cause if he's a chubby hubby, he's a happy pappy"

reply

Me too. It sounds like a cartoon character.

"Hi Ho, boys and girls!! It's me, Scrappy Pappy the Singing Bear!! Here to sing all your favorite songs and to teach you the alphabet! Yay!!!!!! 🐻 "

reply

Yeah. Like Scrappy Doo!
