Fitty Cent?...Please, 25 Cent makes more sense

Ok, obviously 25 Cent sounds like the worst Rap name ever. I'm not entirely serious here. I'm serious in that it would be a "cool" name (and I will explain why), but I recognize that the name "Twenty-Five Cent" doesn't quite roll of the mouth the same way as "Fitty Cent".

So here is my argument. In English and American parlance (actually it is all but dead in todays world, I'm talking about historical), people used to talk about money in fractions. For example, 1/8th of a dollar was called "one bit". Thus, 25 cents were called "two bits".

Well, if 25 cents = two bits...than 25 cent = "two bit" right? It's like one of those New York Times crossword puzzles...., like if the question is "personal abbr."...than the answer is in abbreviated form!

The reason why this would make sense is, well, 50 Cent is supposed to be a "Gangsta Rapper", and therefore he garners the image of being a "criminal"...or in other words "a two-bit crook"!

Hmm, so does not 25 Cent seem like an appropriate name? True, it sounds terrible, but it is appropriate no?! LOL :)
