Rappers or Singers real names that......

Who are some of the rappers or singers with names that just don't fit them? I mean who looks or acts like they wouldn't be named the name that they were given. I'm gonna go with the number one pick-DMX. His name is Earl and that just doesn't quite fit (Love DMX), but it's just not quite right giggle.

Snoop Dogg does not seem like a Calvin to me.

Neither does Iggy Pop strike me as a Jim, which is apparently what family and friends call him.

Maybe it's because that's what we know them as, but Snoop and Iggy really do seem to suit them better.

When I first heard that, I was like no wonder you chose two drinks to be a part of your stage name. That would make me wanna get drunk, too.

Just found out that DMX's real name is Earl Simmons. Earl, who would've thought.
Some people think I'm kinda cute
But that don't compute when it comes 2 Y-O-U.

I actually think her real name would be a better stage name.

which in my opinion is a much better stage name than naming yourself after a forgotten B-movie. But where's the fun in being original?

You know what? I should start saying that instead of "Okay????*snaps fingers* :roll"
I could be like:
"Yo, bartender...*picks up glass and talks in it* Do you hear that echo? What's up with teh drinks. I want a penis collossus on the rocks, and don't be stingy with the creeeeeaammmmm..O'shea? *snaps fingers* rolleyes "
