Me, I’m torn between calling myself either MC Escher or Tone Def. ---

As a rapper/M.C. (purely open-mic night stuff, and goofing around in a home studio with lyrics I wrote), I go by D-Bugg, aka Ted Chord. It makes sense to very few people… ---

Back in the mid 80s I loved battle rhymes. I thought **“MC Diss Guys”** was a great rap name that said it all. Insult all comers! Then the scene changed, L.A. rappers took over the hip hop paradigm with gangbanging/drug dealer horror stories and beefs that got way serious. By 1995 I thought **“Murder Russ”** had a nice ring to it. Too bad my name ain’t Russell. Here in 2006, that gangster mack day is past, and rhymes have gotten more playfully explicit and the Dirty South is blowing up with sexual rhymes at really fast speeds and hooks. These days I like **“Oralgasm, aka The Gusher.”** SOoooOOoo much can be done with that. ---

This dude at work dubbed me “Beezy”. One time he said, “It’s Beezy, in da heezy, fo’ sheezy!” When I looked at him quizzically, he added, “What are you saying to me, negro?” I felt like I was in a Chappelle sketch. ---

I’m thinking\*\* DJ Hooker\*\* or **Spin Sycle**. **Case** , If you switch to death metal music, you could change your name to “Tone Death.” Adding an apostrophe could make it into pretentious goth tunes: “Tone D’Eath” ---
