If we asked you to tell us what Marshawn Lynch's nickname is, you would say…Beast Mode. And you'd be right. But as it turns out, that's not the only nickname that Lynch answers to.

Lynch recently agreed to take part in a "Run This Town" segment about Oakland for XXL alongside Mistah F.A.B. and E-40. And during the interview—which, by the way, features Lynch talking quite a bit—F.A.B. revealed that Lynch had a different nickname that he went by growing up. That nickname? Shitty. Yes, Shitty. F.A.B. says that he still has Lynch's phone number saved under the name Shitty and everything.

You can check out the full interview in the clip above. F.A.B., Lynch, and 40 talk about growing up in Oakland, Lynch's Fam 1st Family Foundation, and Beast Mo-, er, Shitty's reluctance to talk to reporters about football.
