The story of Bow Wow, formerly known as Lil’ Bow Wow，is a true tale. Not just another kid rapper, Bow Wow is the new prince of hip-hop.
Bow Wow has been singing since he was five years old. The young rapper made his first stage appearance on the “Chronic Tour” when he was only six, where his talent impressed rapper Snoop Dogg. Called back to Snoop’s dressing room a few hours later, he was
In 2000, Lil’ Bow Wow released his first CD called“Beware of Dog”, which included the hits “Bow Wow (That’s My Name)” and “Bounce with Me”. The cool thing about Lil’Bow Wow is that he doesn’t sing dirty words like so many other rap singers do. Another reason to look up to Bow Wow is that he is a straight-A student. He gets good grades in school—even with his crazy schedule.
“He reminds me of a young Michael Jackson(麦克·杰克逊),” says Dupri, a producer who helped Bow Wow’s career. “When Michael was 6 or 7 years old, he was so mature when it came to his work. But when he was off the stage he was 100% a child. Bow Wow is a real little kid, but when it’s time to work he transforms into a grown person. He’s one of those gifted children.”
One of Bow Wow’s favorite things is watching professional basketball games. Bow Wow is a crazy NBA Fan—standing up and yelling. Bow Wow likes Allen Iverson the most and has posters of the NBA players on his wall. He even starred in the movie “Like Mike” (乔丹传人) in 2002, which tells a story about a 14-year-old orphan becoming an NBA superstar and enjoying himself to the full.
These days in rap, kids don’t have any role models. With his neat cornrows and his Mickey Mouse pendant(项链上的挂件) swinging around his neck, Bow Wow is ready to be the one. His albums will have people swinging their heads from beginning to end.
