The point is, the name isn’t as important as we think it is. Do you think that if J.Cole’s name was ‘therapy’ you would say, “man this guy sucks”.

Also figuring in alliterative or rhyming phrases, such as rape and renne (late 14c.) "seize and plunder." Late 14c., rapen, "seize prey abduct, take and carry off by force," from rape (n.) and from Anglo-French raper (Old French rapir) "to seize, abduct," a legal term, probably from Latin rapere "seize, carry off by force, abduct" (see rapid).
