Did Bow Wow Lose Swag?

Discuss on ooVoo


Recently reports surfaced that Bow Wow is hard at work on his Cash Money debut album tentatively titled Who Is Shad Moss. Bow Wow stated in an interview with Real Talk NY that he is seeking lyrical guidance from Jadakiss (a claim that ‘Kiss says is still just in talks) for his first project since leaving Sony Records and dropping commercial failure New Jack City II.

So what exactly does Bow Wow have to keep rapping for? Maybe because he enjoys it. But the fact he’s seeking “lyrical guidance” says that he’s not comfortable with who he is as an emcee. Being a child star, it’s hard for his audience to understand his new grown up attitude. Couple that with the fact that Bow Wow’s acting career is being talked about much more than his rap career, and one has to wonder if maybe he should drop the rap and make a career out of acting.

It’s difficult to tell somebody to stop doing something that they love to do but it’s hard to see Bow Wow’s next album becoming a critical and commercial success. As a rapper, Bow Wow was never good. The kids loved him but now he’s a 23-year-old man with a completely different perspective than his “Bounce With Me” days. When he rapped about kid stuff, it was cute for the little girls. But now that he’s grown, hearing him spew rhymes about having a pole in his basement is kind of awkward.

The biggest problem for Bow Wow is making his grown-man rap believable for his audience. It’s a situation that plagues many kid rappers and most never come out of the situation any better. For Bow Wow, his acting career is flourishing and if this new album fails, he should really consider a future in film.

There’s nothing wrong with that. Sooner or later you have to grow up, right?

Early life
Milian was born in Jersey City, New Jersey to Afro-Cuban immigrant parents, Carmen and Don, and has two younger sisters, Danielle and Elizabeth. Her family moved to Waldorf, Maryland soon after her birth and she set her heart on an entertainment career at the age of four. Milian did commercials (Wendy's, Honeycombs) and played the lead role in the musical Annie before moving to Los Angeles, California at 13 to pursue an acting career; Her father didn't move with the rest her family and divorced her mother soon after. Her mother is now her manager.

Acting career
Milian's first significant role was as a reporter on the Disney Channel's Movie Surfers show in 1998 billed as Tina Flores. While in this role, she also appeared in minor roles in the movies A Bug's Life and American Pie and in guest appearances on the television series Charmed, Clueless, Get Real, and The Amanda Show.

In 2002, Milian was appointed to host of the television show Wannabes on MTV. She met director Joseph Kahn on an episode of Wannabes who suggested she audition for a lead role in the film Torque opposite Ice Cube. Her audition was successful leading in turn to a lead role in Love Don't Cost a Thing in 2003. In 2005, she had roles in the films Man of the House opposite Tommy Lee Jones and Be Cool with John Travolta and Uma Thurman.

Music career
It's About Time (2004) In 2000, Milian performed vocals on Ja Rule's song Between Me and You from his album Rule. The song became a hit building her reputation as a singer. She also co-wrote and provided extensive backing vocals for the track "Play" for Jennifer Lopez's 2001 album J. Lo which became another big hit, and co-wrote "Same Ol' Same Ol", the first single from girl group PYT's album Down With Me.

In 2001, Milian released her first solo single, "AM To PM", off her self-titled debut album. It became a worldwide hit reaching the top 5 in the UK and Denmark, top 10 in the Netherlands, and top 40 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and in Australia. The success of "AM To PM" sparked the international release of the Christina Milian album, although not in the U.S. The second single "When You Look At Me" was another international hit reaching the top 5 in the UK, Netherlands, and Ireland and making the top 40 in Denmark, Australia, and France. She was also featured on the track "It's All Gravy", a duet with Romeo of the garage group So Solid Crew. It was another UK top ten hit single in 2002. She also wrote and sang the theme song for the Disney series Kim Possible, "Call Me Beep Me" later that year.

So Amazin (2006) In 2003, Milian recorded songs for her first U.S. album, It's About Time, which is a reference to how long it had taken for one of her albums to be released in the U.S. The first single, "Dip It Low", was written by Polli Paul, who has also written songs for the Black Eyed Peas.

The second single, "Whatever U Want", features Joe Budden and once again reached the top 10 in the UK as well as charting on the Billboard Hot 100. Controversy occurred when Milian changed her look when the album was released. Many people saw it as her trying to look more like Beyoncé Knowles who had a similar look. All of this has been looked at as a coincedence by Milian.

Her third album So Amazin' is scheduled for a May release. The entire production was done by Cool & Dre, with additional help from Rich Harrison. The record's first single Say I has been released in March as a single and video; it features Young Jeezy. The single currently is on his latest mixtape, "Can't Ban the Snowman, and is having success within the mixtape scene causing many DJ's to place it on their compilations too ("Southern Smoke"). Two confirmed tracks,Gonna Tell Everybody and Who's Gonna Ride featuring Three 6 Mafiaand Lil Wayne will appear on her third album So Amazin'. According to MTV, Christina recored a track dissing her ex-boyfriend. It was due to the reason they broke up. Nick says even though the track was recorded, he still considers being her friend.

Personal life
In the summer of 2005, Milian broke up with actor Nick Cannon after being together for nearly two & a half years. In an interview with Angie Martinez, she spoke about how she found out about Cannon cheating on her. Apparently while she was away filming a movie in Romania, she attempted to log in to his T-Mobile.com account by entering in random passwords. After lucking out with one of the passwords, she was able to read all of the messages he sent out and received to and from other women. When she returned back to the states, she decided to play it cool before hitting him with the news that she knew he was cheating.

Weeks after their break up, Milian was spotted with actor Eric West during New York's Olympus Fashion Week leading to many claims that the two are dating. Eric confirmed on American radio station Y100 that the two are just friends. The New York Daily News claims she is now dating hip-hop producer Dre.
