ALL Rapper names, and their craptastic songs, dumbass attitudes, stupid looks, lameass music, pedantic lyrics, complete lack of taste, etc qualify for the "worse" category.
Another example of Cracked.com stealing ideas. This was done better earlier this year by Stuff Magazine. http://www.stuffmagazine.com/articles/index.aspx?id=1651
All those rap names are awful and anyone defending them- you have no taste man. The worst rap name to go to a good rapper could well be Eminem, but if not him, then definitely Snoop Dogg. That name is just lame and dumb and there's no defense for it. "Snoop Dogg?" Well... and an extra g at the end, ok? It's just silly, a child could have come up with a better name. Dr. Dre is pretty stupid too, because it's so painfully obvious. My name is Dre.... hmmm... Dr. Dre.
The sad truth is that the people I know who got into rap universally had pretty bad taste in everything, so they always looked ridiculous and we made fun of them. That's why if you look at rap circa 1988 the untied sneakers and furry hats look idiotic. Then the medals and track suits of 1990 look idiotic. Then people make fun of the Wu Tang Clan and their silliness in the 1990s. None of it lasts beyond Public Enemy, the Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Afrika Bambata (sp) and a few people who created something true and lasting. The rest really didn't put any thought into what they were doing and lived to regret the day they got a Jherri Curl (like NWA).
Some other favorites of mine:
* SuperGreg
* Ill Mitch
* KC LMNOP
* Thirstin Howl III
* Bushwick Bill's new name:
"Dr. Wolfgang Von Bushwickin the Barbarian Mother Funky Stay High Dollar Billstir"
Now THAT'S a rapper name.

I kinda like the guy, but you can't deny his name and appearance are hilarious. :)
