It seems likely that rappers pursue careers in music to escape not only a tough upbringing or life on the streets but also the stunning reality of their awkward, terrible names. From Snoop Dogg (Cordozar Broadus) to DMX (Earl Simmons) to Master P (Percy Miller) these guys just can't catch a break. See if you can distinguish between the given names of rappers and 19th century business tycoons on the following list (answers are in the comments section, don't cheat)
Algernod Lanier Washington
Carlton Douglas Ridenhour
Henry Morrison Flagler
Christopher Charles Lloyd
Edward Henry Harriman
Elbert H. Gary
Shadrach Gregory Moss
Amasa Leland Stanford
John Warne Gates
Collis Huntington
Thomas DeCarlo Callaway
Warren Griffin III
James Buchanan Duke
James Tod Smith
