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

I got my name from a song my cousin wrote before he died. The song was called "Dangerous Science" and he compared Hip Hop to how science is, becuz there's so much more we can discover with this music. But the "Dangerous" part is how Hip Hop can influence ppl, how it can move them whether it was 2 dance or act in violence. So I figured I'd take that title, becuz I am Hip Hop. But I also have a whole bunch of aliases that I came up with thruout the years. I go by The Mad Flyintist, Peter Sparker, DynaM.I.C., Chico Martinez (Long story with that. LOL!), etc. But I continue 2 make music the way I want 2, focusing on becoming a staple in rap one day, becuz there's 2 many Lil's and Young's in this business. These kats need 2 at least think of somethin similar 2 P.J. Ford's name, like..."Cakin" Manning!!!!
