WOW! Your guys answers are really stupid....he was named that when he was selling drugs in NYC and then when he started rapping underground he used that name instead of Curtis Jackson.
And by the way, you cant appreciate his music until you understand his background.....AND HIS NAME!!!
Do a little research. Don't rely on the inbreds who answered before me.
