Get the rappervan mug.Refers to the appropriation of rap culture by ignorant, mostly post-pubescent male individual performers who are not devoted to the lifestyle and are only committed to increasing their monetary and promiscuous lifestyle without showing the appropriate respect.
In spite of the disrespectful appropriation, these occupys are regularly lucrative and popular.

Get the RAPPROPRIATION mug.A rapper's stage name, especially when it is different from their real name.
A rapponym can be anything from a single word (e.g. Drake) to an acronym (e.g. G.U.R.U.), or a multi-word phrase (e.g. Method Man), and can be appended with a prefix such as big or lil (e.g. Big Pun, Lil House Phone). Numbers are sometimes used as phonetic substitutes of words/syllables (e.g. 2Pac for Tupac), or simply to add textual distinctiveness (e.g. 6ix9ine for SixNine). Rapponyms beginning with 'DJ' often indicate that the rapper is also a turntableist, producer, or beatmaker (e.g. DJ Khaled). Some particularly goated rappers use their real name, or part of it, as a stage name (e.g. Kendrick Lamar), but it's not really a rapponym if it is the same as their common IRL name.
Non-rap musicians and other entertainers may have stage names that follow a similar format, but those cannot be rapponyms as they do not belong to rappers.

For you etymology nerds, this term is a portmanteau of 'rapper' and 'endonym'.
