Opaque Lucidity

Arms Race

I know nothing about rap/hip-hop music, except that I don't like it. To be honest, it all sounds the same to me and it all seems to be about superficial crap. Regardless, I love the names under which some of these guys perform. For example, tomorrow is 40 Cal.'s birthday; I've never heard of him, but he must be somebody in that world. 40 Cal., 50 cent (known as "fitty"), both references to money and/or weapons. With this in mind, here are my potential stage names for when I take the hip-hop world by storm:

1. Buck Thirty (spelled 1.30)
2. Bill Yun ( or Biggie B)
3. 88 (after 88MM, the caliber of a WW2 German howitzer)
4. 16in (pronounced "sixteen in", but referencing 16 inches, the bore of the main guns on Iowa-class battleships)
5. Case (as in 24, as in 12 Tupacs)

I gotta quit.
