CALL ME WHAT MY MOM CALLS ME

Here's a hint for rap singers just starting out: for god's sake, choose a name you can live with. There's nothing worse than, three or four years down the line, someone whose stupid name you've got used suddenly standing up and saying "actually, you know, maybe my name is just stupid."

Latest to revert to what's on the birth certificate is Jay-Z, who wants to be known as Shawn Carter from hereon out.

Apparently the new name (or, rather, the old one) is because he's "exploring business opportunities in the UK." And because being called by a radio call sign is sucky, of course.
