No matter how bad your handle is, it's always a fucking trillion times worse if you have a number after it.
Handles are best done like rap names. No great rapper is called 'LL Cool J71' or 'Big Dady Kane3'.
If there's no reason to put a number at the end of your handle, skip it like a rock at the river.
But, if you think something is necessitating you put a number in your name, consider this: If there is already an '
LL Cool J' - do you really think 'LL Cool J43' is something you should go with? If there is someone called
@GoDawgs, maybe stay away from
@GoDawgs1991, huh?
Who the fuck wants to listen to 'Lil Boosie6'? Even fucking
Boosie can think of variations of his name that don't necessitate a fucking number:
Boosie Badazz.
Half the fucking
Wu Tang Clan had 17 fucking names:
Prince Rakeem became the Rza, Bobby Digital and The Abbot.
Ghostface Killah had one of the most creative names and still thought up a billion dope a/k/as like Pretty Tony (a Mack reference), Tony Starks, Iron Man, The Wallabee Kingpin...
Amazing, 'WuTang_Rapper93' wasn't in there? No! No Gza3 either!
Even that fucking moron
Cappadonna thought of a name and didn't go with 'U-God344'.
Even when rappers copy each other, they go with 'Lil' or 'Son of'. You may not know this, but
Run from Run DMC (notice they weren't Run DMC1111) started as '
DJ Run, Son of Kurtis Blow'.
It would definitely be a step up for
@honeybadger40 to have gone with 'Son of RoadDawg' or whatever.
If you have to use a fucking number, please make it make sense. A rapper from Ruthless Records' (NWA's label) early proteges "
Above The Law" was called "
Cold 187um". At least that makes sense. Like, "I'm going to cold 187 um!"
But, when choosing a handle one good rule of thumb might be, 'if
Cappadonna - who parlayed being a rapper in Wu Tang Clan into an unsuccessful stint as a cab driver in Baltimore - can think of more than 1 name without a number that isn't a copy of someone else's, shouldn't I be able to do the same thing?'
CHRIST.
