well shit, first click and I got “Arrogant Ambassador”
I am going to be using that for sure.
“Lucky Desperado”. Got it for me in one as well.
“Thunderous Bandit”
Profound Contender
I got “Leprechn Gangstr”.
That seems odd.
Mad Destroyer
Hmmm. Not exactly subtle but hell, if that’s the price to pay to enter the Wu Tang, I’ll take it.
Respected Demon
Wait, he’s been recording as Childish Gambino since 2011? And here I thought he only dropped his first Solo project this past Friday.
I always knew the Gambino thing was a Wu reference just because I followed Wu Tang pretty closely, but didn’t know that the whole name was from a generator.
In addition to the kung-fu and Marvel comics nomenclature, they were doing mafia names for a while there. I think this is the first song where it was overtly in the title:
Man, that album is pretty much tied with Liquid Swords as their best.
I’m not really into Childish Gambino as a rapper but that soul album he did that was a clone of There’s A Riot Goin’ On/Fresh-era Sly Stone is surprisingly great (edit: it’s called Awaken My Love.) One of the songs is almost a total bite and yet I still couldn’t hate on it.
I didn’t intend to, but I ended up watching the whole thing. What a great discussion.
“Ruff Swami.”
"If I had known it was going to be something for real, I wouldn’t have used it."
I got Papasan, like over and over. I think I’ll play the lotto tomorrow.
“Respected Overlord”
I’ll take it…
Pesty Leader
Hmmm… I suppose I shouldn’t be as disappointed as I am but I too was given “Arrogant Ambassador”
Can we crowdsource their full library of options this easily?
My hubby is “Sarkastik Killah” and when I typed in the full name of president 45 I got “Very Stable Genius” which we thought was pretty funny. Hard-coded, surely.
And then there’s…
Midnight Madman
I’m a big fan of alliteration so this is a good outcome for me
It’s not entirely random:
Barack Obama --> The Preezy of the United Steezy
Donald Trump --> President Agent Orange
