MICHAEL
ARISTOTLE
Where did you get the name “Michael Aristotle” from?
Well, my stage name used to be Y.Teezy, and
in the summer of 2012 I would kick it
with this girl I use to have a crush on
in my dad’s car in her driveway every
time she came home from college.
We would play all the kanye west
albums, which led to the next day
of her saying on twitter she got
her nickname from this kanye
west name generator. So, I saw
the name generator and put
my name in and I got “Malcolm Aristotle” but I wanted
to flip the Malcolm to
“Michael” because it stuck
to me more. It was just a
nickname ‘til all my friends
begged me to use that
as a stage name [laughs]
now here we are,
Michael Aristotle.
