Hip-Hop Group Asamov Forced To Change Their Name

Friday April 28, 2006
You wouldn't expect a hip-hop crew to get sued over a name, right? Well, say hello to Asamov, the Jacksonville, Florida hip-hop collective which now goes by The ABs in order not incure the wrath of Isaac Asimov. The critically acclaimed under-the-radar ABs released their debut, And Now... under the name Asamov, but met with a cease and desist order from science fiction novelist, Isaac Asimov, who inspired the beautiful mess that was "I Robot."
