Who are some artists that used different stage names before they got famous? Were they better or worse than their current ones?

A good example is Future going by Meathead back in the day, can't imagine any of his albums having Meathead on the cover, 'Drake & Meathead - Diamonds Dancing' just doesn't have the same ring to it

Kin Kane
