Does the artist make the name or does the name make the artist

I feel like JID would be more respected if he was named anything but that.

idk ever since xxxtentacion i feel like artist name don’t matter as much anymore

Not that important. You can name yourself Lil B**** whoops I meant Lil B and still have people suck your d***.

DaBaby a crazy name too now that I think about it.

depends on how crazy or bland it is relative to quality of music but if music is fire it kinda don’t matter

Lil Uzi Vert is a garbage ass name but it don’t matter lol

Baby Jesus even wilder

Young Thug

Apparently not a big deal

Lil Baby too. Kinda supports the idea that your name doesn't matter once you make it as people just get used to it.

Aubrey doesn’t sound quite catchy or intimidating as someone with mob ties as opposed to Drake

Nicole Scherzinger would say pretty important.

It’s not that important IMO. The artists makes the name

Yes. It definitely helps. Just like athletes.

this one of those "so bad its good" type names

i still read 6lack with the 6

Can you give an example of athletes?

imagine if Jimi Hendrix was spelled like Jimmy Hendricks would feel very different

Kendrick Duckworth

S*** don’t matter

It’s a nigga named 9lokknine

its good in a weird way

young thug is a weird rapper and he amazing

6LACK

Artists with numbers in their names are fine

But if the number is supposed to be apart of the pronunciation of a word in ur name u have to be slain

Depends if the artist builds a brand behind the name tbh. Like The Weeknd is a whole character at this point. It adds a lot more emphasis on the music and persona.
