Rap Alias Generator

Before you receive your own bon-a-fide rapper name, let's play a couple rounds of "Name That Rapper!" Christopher George Latore Wallace He weighs a lot. He swears some. He helped a lot of well-known rappers cut their teeth, including 2Pac. He even had a stint in acting before he was cut down in a violent act of gang warfare. What is his pseudonym?
