Waht if 2 rappers have the same name in different regions,whats the rule on that?

[Foul Mouth]

i know if a dude is signed to a mjor then the major owns the name and you cant use it,but whats the rule otherwise?

Who ever makes it first gets it i guess. "The Vig" from Tyson's group used to go by Fabulous but he had to change it after Fabolous came out!!

 

[STREETFIGHT]

Who ever does the paper work gets the name...That's why Biggie (Major label artist) had to change his name from Biggie Smalls to Notorious B.I.G.

Who was using the name Biggie Smalls?

 

[Eskimo Pie]

Yea, I got burnt because there's a group from Arkansas that is called The Mobb Figgas (that's how they spell it) and they have an album called wise guys on the rise. I got all juiced and bought it expecting AP9 and company only to be dissapointed by some wack ass southern rappers so watch yourself.
