RAP means alot of things but the music got the name as an acronym spelling out rhythm and poetry 2603:9000:E107:8800:ABA5:AFFA:2E6:31AC ( talk) 01:44, 8 September 2023 (UTC) reply

As discussed in the article, "rythym & poetry" is a backronym and not the real origin of the term. Ertal72 ( talk) 02:28, 4 December 2023 (UTC) reply

Naming

A rapper's name is the most important element that reflects his personality, style and creative essence. It serves as a business card, makes a lasting impression on the audience and helps to promote the artist in the market. A well-chosen rap name is often used as a unique brand that promotes recognition and connects with fans.

Creating a memorable and impressive rap name requires a combination of creativity, self-awareness and cultural resonance. Therefore, it is best to utilize a variety of methods to create a name:

• A real name (for example Drake or Lil Wayne);
• nickname (for example Jay-Z);
• cultural and artistic influences (for example Nas or 6ix9ine);
• based on a notable physical characteristic (for example: Lil Kim);
• by phrase (for example 2 Chainz);
• using a rap name generator (for example: Childish Gambino and Post Malone). Bllporter ( talk) 14:39, 21 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello Liu1126!

Drake's real name is /info/en/?search=Drake_(musician).

Lil Wayne is /info/en/?search=Lil_Wayne (based on real name).

Is that okay? Bellaprtr ( talk) 15:24, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply
