  • Lil Bow Wow was a unicorn in the early 2000s. He was the first artist you could call an industry plant. Thing is, he actually deserved the spot he was controlling. His impact since 5 years old was one of the strongest in hip hop history. He was a star since day one, that had all the ingredients in that era to have a better career than he ended up having. Has he fallen off? Here are 3 Growth Stunts in his career that cost him not to reach expected heights.

      Bow Wow is the young Goat, but he always tried to fit in when he didn't have to. He was supposed to be a trendsetter but he struggled with being Shad Moss & Bow Wow. Most child stars have a hard time as an adult because they're so used to being told what to do, it's like they cant think for themselves & when they do, its always bad decision because they never got any control of that part of life until later on.

    Bow wow had a solid 7 year run from 2000-2007. If you think about it he was able to reinvent himself in 2005 dropping mature adult R&B hit records from just being a child star. He would’ve had probably a 10 year run if he would’ve done a collab album with Chris Brown around 2008 or hopped on songs and aligned himself with Drake early on.

      He was almost close to Drake cause Bow was signed to Cash Money from 2010 to 2014-15, I believe. It's just Birdman screwed him over in his deal along with other Cash and Young Money artists. That delayed his career cause we never got the "Underrated" album and his other music has been shelved or not advertised as big as Drake, Wayne, Nicki and Tyga at the time. I still fw him because he was the only rapper repping my hometown, Ohio, during his run.

      I think the show went down hill because of him. It turned into a kid show, us that were adults who watched it saw it age backwards from the host to all the children in the audience to the videos becoming child like. We found MTV 2 and the like and was able to enjoy it and wasnt too effected when BET and MTV got rid of music video programming for tv shows and reality tv.

    I feel Bow wow failed to recreate himself when he became an adult. His lane ended as a handsome teen rapper who all the girls liked. Now he had to find another lane. Are you a gangster rapper or a conscious rapper. In his era it was only two lanes for rappers basically. It's more lanes now. That's stunt number one to me. As a teen rapper he didn't write his own rhymes. I heard TI use too write his rhymes. He don't got the pen manship like other rappers and he didn't develop in that area. In his era you had to spit a 16 it's not like how it is now. That's stunt #2 for me. Stunt #3 Bow wow isn't as skilled lyrically as other rappers from his era. He's a step beneath them.

    Bow Wow was my guy from his first song, such a cute, cool, talent. He never had a chance though, exposed to way too much at a young age and wasnt seemingly protected. It's for their own good that you still keep them grounded and disciplined. From as young as he can remember, he was adored, so they dont know how to take the harsh judgment when they lose that love from the fans. Wish him the best🙏

  • @jadaess01
    @jadaess01 3 года назад +1

    Very good points made. Here's my observations over the years.
    It's kind of a unfortunate as I feel that Bow SHOULD be in a more respectful position like a Drake since he led the pack in his class. I felt Bow's first bad decision was leaving JD and going to Cash Money which just had too large of a roster with some artists who never released full projects. So you hit that one the head!!
    Bow went from from being a big successful artist to being a mixtape artist but his Greenlight tapes were 🔥 But they still didn't give him the buzz that he was use to receiving. Because he was still in his prime, but just with the wrong team. Cash Money/Young Money was poppin back then so I can understand Bow wanting to go that route. But he was never gonna shine there.
    I know that he was getting more into movies and doing CSI Cyber shortly after or around that time but he then talked about retiring at only 27-28 which he should have never broadcasted. It's not like he was putting a lot of music out anyway. Because in his eyes, he was starting to feel himself as an actor..lol...but then that slowed down. CSI was cancelled.
    Yes, he was a big child star BUT I felt in his mid-late 20s was the time for him to give his fans more studio albums as a grown man to show more growth as a grown man, not a teen rapper or 20yr old rapper. He had more chapters to write. Him and JD should have just went back to the drawing board.
    Yes, he's sold out tours and had Like Mike which was a huge success for him. But when you look at the last 10yrs, he's had some highs and lows (more lows).
    He's now starting to release music again and I still feel that it's really not being received due to a few things: One...his donkey activities on IG in the last 3-4yrs, secondly, him having not released much music on a bigger platform in years and lastly, ppl just don't care about a Bow Wow project..🤷🏾‍♀️ Bow has always had a big label pushing him so that also effected him. It's a new era of artists now. His recent stuff is just aight but nothin to talk about. And Bow raps better than 90% of these rappers today BUT he doesn't have an IDENTITY in 2021 as an artist. I honestly feel the best move will either be him doing a collab album with Omarion (they have great chemistry) OR with other male r&b artists (maybe even CB just to get back in that space) because that's always been his lane. But now he wants to be a wrestler...Again, goes back to your point about him just not really having a focus but just trying to fill up his resume with whatever..lol. Yes, the rap game gets old. But he's only gonna be 34 next month. Drake STILL out here breaking records...Jay Z is over 50 and still out-rappin young dudes. He NEEDS to start back working with JD. Pimpin is cool BUT there's no "magic" there. His biggest consumers has always been females so cater to that market. I think what he really wants is the exec job at BET which would be perfect for him. I'm NOT feeling the wrestling venture but hey, this is Bow Wow..lol
