A Bitter View

I know a lot of peeps wonder how I came up with the name SinRo. In a few message boards I go to, when I post my picture there surprised that I’m black because the name is so different. Well I got it out of 2 sources. Let’s begin with the main one.

Being a fan of comics one of my favorite all time characters is the Green Lantern. Anyone who has caught up with the History of the lanterns or even watched some of the toons from time to time knows his greatest enemy. I’m not talking about fear or the rings’ previous weakness yellow. I’m talking about Sinestro the renegade lantern. A villain who started as the hero’s (Hal Jordan) teacher and began abusing the power of the ring for his own personal purposes. When he was busted for his actions and branded for them he vowed revenge by seeking an alternative to the ring he once wore. Thus, finding a yellow source he was able to relive his power and become a fierce pain in the corps’ side.

I took his name and broke it down because it matched me. You can say it came directly from him just removing the “est”. The “S” in the name represents my last name then the “Ro” is the first two letters of my middle name. S-in-Ro. Simple huh?

The 2nd source is my love for hip-hop. I’m a b-boy as much as I’m a comic buff. One particular group helps me influence the name even more. The Alkaholiks were a group I slept on for the longest till the 3rd album “Likwitdation” which is a favorite album of mine. The Members E-Swift, Catastrophe a.k.a. Tash & J-Ro (its clicking now aint it?) are definitely a group that I admire and seeing how J-Ro rocked his name I felt mine was just as catchy as well.

I also considered making it an Acronym as well. In the hip hop world we all know the essentials like:

• Notorious B.I.G. = Business Instead of Game
  


• B.I.B.L.E = BASIC INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LEAVING EARTH
  


• K.R.S. O.N.E = KNOWLEDGE REIGNS SUPREME OVER NEARLY EVERYONE


• G.U.R.U. = GIFTED UNLIMITED RHYMES UNIVERSAL


• G.O.A.T. = GREATEST OF ALL TIME
  


• Fat J.O.E. = Jealous Ones Envy
  


• Goodie Mob= Good Die Mostly Over Bullshit


• Murs = Making Underground Records


• Big Daddy Kane = King Asiatic Nobody's Equal


• ThugLife = The Hate U Gave Lil' Infants Fuck Everybody


• C.R.E.A.M. = If you don’t know this one already you’re an Idiot

Etc. We could go on. So being inspired by that, I’ve messed with mines for a long while. I’ve come up with a few let me share them with ya:

• S.I.N.R.O. = Simple Intellectual Needlessly Regulating opposition


• S.I.N.R.O. = Stealin on Ignant Niggaz Right da fugg Out
  


• SIN.RO. = Sincerely Rosean (My middle name)
  

It’ll take a while till I find something simple enough to stick with,
but its fun making them up though.
