…..I liked this more for the caption than the name:

Hang on, are we supposed to be surprised by Eminem? Who released the Marshall Mathers LP? Or Will.i.am, whose name is William?

Actually, what am I talking about, that’s not really worth mentioning when you see they’ve also included Ciara Princess Harris, whose stage name is, shockingly enough, Ciara. Or Wyclef Jean whose real name is Wyclef Jean? (see also Kanye West, Mary J Blige…)

I could understand it if they’re just making up the numbers to get a top 20 or something, but it’s a top 60. Who does a top 60?

Not a name change as such, but compare some old KMD videos and the great MF DOOM… from fresh-faced to mask-face!

I din’t know that Jamie… I shall pay tribute to the greatest rapper of all time for the rest of the day though now.
