emcees....how'd ya get ya name

some names are destined to stick out. i got mine from a telemarketing job. my government name is jameka, we used to leave messages and everyone would ask me, did you say jimmy, i would just say yeah. to make things simple, i started just flat out saying my name is jimmi. everyone alwasy called me ms pinky or pinky tuscadero or oinky lee because i wore it a lot, and everything on my desk was pink so that no one could say anything was thiers. one day my supervisor walked by and sain hey, jimmy pink. i started playing around with the spelling and jimmi pynk was born. tell me how you came up with your name

my alias came from my last mane '' ortiz''. i spelled it backwards and got zitro. substituted the z i with 7 1and turned it into an acronym, which is gods- knowledge- teaches- righteousness- overall. and there you have it.

When I was born, my parents decided to call me Benny, my dad's last name was Chan. So my birth certificate says Benny Chan. Hence I am Benny Chan. So I sampled Lethal Weapon 4 evey time one of the characters says "benny chan" or uncle benny, when I pick my top tracks for my Album I will have my DJ scratch the samples on a couple of the tracks. Anybody of amy other movies or shows with characters named "benny chan" or "benny" or "chan" no anime please I accent gets old I have some of those samples already.

this is actually my real name mispelled. i kept going through wack names for a while until one day in college this one girl left me a note under my dorm room door and spelled my name weird. i looked at it and it sounded like how pronounced but not how its spelled. its Artemis but everyone that hung with me said Ardamus. so, i just stuck with it.

there are 47 master chefs in the u.s. i was a master chefs apprentice. iron chef is sort of a family tradition. if u dont know its a show where 4 resident master chefs (ironchefs) would battle challengers. seemed only natural.

ginsu came from battlin. the ginzu, is a knife that you might have caught on qvc and other home shopping outlets. it cuts through all sorts of worthless crap..u know phone books, tin cans, wack emcees, etc.

i thought about changing my name to "Sifu Tojuso".

all my friends say i think im the authority on most things, and "sifu" is a master/teacher. tojuso=told you so.

my partner in rhymes name "plex" aka The Black Slumlord aka Tuskeegee Airman.

Originally spelled P.hear the lyricist..stood for People hear the lyricist..because i felt like a lyricist has influenced someone at least one point in their life..but no one got it so i just used phear the lyricist which is basically a play on people fearing what they don't understand and a reference to my stage fright. The shit is still too long so I just go by ptl most of the time. also go by the alias ill smith for shits and giggles.
The whole 3rd person thing is basically my friend lenin and i formed a group..one producer..one mc...and we couldn't think of a name so we chose 3rd person...because we felt it was clever seeing as there are only 2 of us in the group and i'm the only one who mcs...it's gotten to the point where people think it's my mc name which is cool i guess..
