Bow Wow sat down with KarmaloopTV and discussed his reccuring role on Entourage, the economy, why he feels Hip-Hop is dead.

Oh yeah, ole boy is officially a Hollyweirdian now. His talk is pompous. SMH

Pop the top and watch the video

Hip-Hop is not dead, just tired of whack MC’s with no substance.

    Ladies all like to join _____Meet Wealthy com_____. I really do not know why? Just cuz many wealthy men and celebrities there? or the men there are all handsome?

  • http://www.ferdoza.blogspot.com Re (Gambit in 4 days!)

    Bow Wow…did you not help kill it? I saw you stabbing it and slicing it with a machete…along with Soulja Boy…

  • Mark

    That beef he had with soulja boy killed hip hop.

  • Nigga Said

    Bow Wow should reprise his role as Calvin Cambridge and do “Like Mike 3″

  • Just me

    So beautiful…he could be more humble however… Hey–look at his role models…I’ll listen to him as long as he makes hits that I find myself singing in the car.

  • http://www.ferdoza.blogspot.com Re (Gambit in 4 days!)

    The other day I saw Bow Wow do a Stone Cold Steve Austin on Hip Hop…

  • Superbiotch

    LOL he has the nerve to talk about why hip hop is dead and he’s one of the artists that killed it. He’s whack as hell! You a true a$$ bucket, Bow Wow!

  • mzsweetface

    Oh, so now you think hip hop is dead. Is that because your new album flopped?

  • http://www.gravatar.com *Living lovely*

    lol Go BOW Go…..anyways Good mornin yall I can’t remember who said that his album went double wood :)

  • http://www.tv3.com.gh NAZIRU FRM GHANA

  • janb

    Well I don’t know how relevant he thought he was to hip hop but it is dead. I mean it’s pure mindless bullsh** these days, gold teeth and dumb as ass. I’m sorry but that pretty much sums it up, so sad :-(

  • GGooDie

    The last time I checked…he is his goons were one of the main reasons hip-hop is dead.

    LAME-O

  • http://www.gravatar.com *Living lovely*

    soulja boy did not kill hip hop……..

    I repeat he did not kill hip hop

  • Melody

    he’ll be MJ but toy real soon cuz his money bout to dry up

  • Sharpton’s perm

    @ Re (Gambit in 4 days!)

    I like seeing that MF Doom mask everyday, man. These “rap fans” need to get hip to a real lyricist like doom. Hip hop ain’t dead… radio rap is dead. Go cop MF Doom, Immortal Technique and a few others still treating rhyming as an art

  • Sawyer

    Noooooooooo…HIP HOP IS DEAD!!! What we have now is a mix of rhyming over pop and rnb tracks! I for one will never consider this new genre of niose hip hop.

    Diddy killed it, T-Pain laid the chalk around it, Souljah Boy dug the hole and Flo Rida buried it!

    Conversation over!

  • no bossip

    follow bow on twitter: lamborghinibow

  • Sawyer

    If you want real, true to life art form of hip hop look to the underground or the one’s whose been doing it for decades…Nas, Wu Tang, Redman, Common, L.O.X, M.O.P or even some of these new cats like Saigon or Terminology.

  • http://www.ferdoza.blogspot.com Re (Gambit in 4 days!)

    @Sharpton’s Perm

    Btw, what other music do you enjoy? Have you heard the Special Herbs album?

  • Negrodamus Believes

    Negrodamus Believes Bow Wow could always retire to the care of Michael Vick associates.

  • janb

    Don’t forget Mos def, Common and Tribe Called Quest.

  • http://www.ferdoza.blogspot.com Re (Gambit in 4 days!)

    Don’t forget MF DOOM (or just DOOM)…

  • http://www.ferdoza.blogspot.com Re (Gambit in 4 days!)

    Don’t forget Zion I…

    Slum Village…
    Immortal Technique…
    Blackalicious…
    Little Brother…

  • crock of sh*t

  • Lady Next Door

    5 relevant artist that show hip hop is not dead;
    Wayne
    Drake
    Gucci
    Cam’ron
    Yezzy

    This is a joke, right? All of these artisti are homosexual frauds! Lil Wayne pretends to be a blood even though OG T Rodgers called him AND Jim Jones out!

    wow@What…when…where….why…how???

    HIP HOP DEAD???!!???

    Well no sh!t!! when the only news is 2 old greasy Ni##a’s (50/rick ross) beefin’ over baby mamas ya’ll know the sh!ts done.

  • Sasha

    Bow Wow sit down and shut up you are starting to embarass us in the COL!!

  • http://www.ferdoza.blogspot.com Re (Gambit in 4 days!)

    @MrTavMarie

    My dear…don’t go back. Unless you want a heavy dose of black lip liner, sharpie eyebrows, heavily gel’d hair (think the brown gel with the white words on the jar), lots of fake baby hair, shiny suits, tapered jeans that ride up your stomach, and other abominations to life…to numerous to recite.

    Move forward…music is evolving, and having a hard time doing so. As a matter of fact, most of these genre’s are intertwined (check the spelling on that, lol) nowadays…it’s like their trying to give birth to a new brand of music…but forcing it instead of evolving.

  • http://www.ferdoza.blogspot.com Re (Gambit in 4 days!)

    @me (the original)®
    Everything you said was true…blame that damn SOUNDSCAN. The majors got ahold of the numbers rap was making, (before then, alot of rappers were on independant labels…) and started to commercialize and tamper with rap.

  • LexRuger202

    To everyone that disliked my list – FU.
    There is room in hip hop for everyone. Do rock fans fight about what’s better. Death metal or Thrash rock. Of course not because because its music.
    And for the record: Swiss Beats and Jada Kiss have a NEW song with OJ the juice man and Redman and Meth have a NEW song with Pimp C on the Hook. I assume that since you don’t like Gucci Mane then you must hate UGK because they aren’t hip hop either. Scarface is another down south originator. Lets talk about NWA not being hip hop when they came out.

    All of you are showing your age and your lack understanding about current youth culture. Keep your mind open to new things. Keep up with the times or be left behind like your boy Bow Wow.

  • Eryca K

    Bow Wow’s career is dead.

  • me (the original)®

    @ Lex Ruger and his list,

    April Fool’s Day was 28 days ago. You’re tardy to the party. But I LOLed in real life :)

    Gucci Mane…hahahahahahahahhahahahaha

  • http://www.ferdoza.blogspot.com Re (Gambit in 4 days!)

    @LexRuger202

    I understood and agreed with your orgininal post, but remember, everyone has their own opinion. You can’t force it on folk…

  • Smoovee Sayz

    Does Bow Wow know his mouth is moving and words are coming out???

  • Smoovee Sayz

    Hey Re:)

    U cracking me up today!! U know that…

  • Smoovee Sayz

    Someone passing Bow Wow a mic/asking him questions about hip hop/and then taping the whole train wreck…reminds me of how I felt…when…
    George W. was elected into office…and then they gave him full access to our military…wow
    jus complete hell breaking loose all over the place

  • http://afo.net Nanett

    @ Smoove SayzThis guy just talk to hear words coming out of his mouth, He has no real education, Most of what he says is something he heard someone else say or someone told him. He just talking loud and saying nothing. He is so lame. Time up buddy, Chris Brown, why1 did you have to mess up.

  • Smoovee Sayz

    @ Nanett

    Man dont I know it!! Damn CBreezy…u just couldnt keep that inner Ike under control lol…no really since Chris done messed up what in the world do we have to look forward to now???

  • Silken Dove

    Well Yeeeeah Bow Wow.

    Hip Hop is Very veeery dead from Your perspective.. “…bowowow yippee yo yippee yay”?

    Not hip hop’s fault that you’re not very creative.

    Pray… annoint yourself with creativity, stop being so negative about hip hop, or that’s all that you’ll reap from it: the bad things that you say about it, dear.

  • IndustryInsiderTRUTH

    LOL ladynextdoor…

    All these rappers are homosexual frauds?
    wayne
    drake
    camron
    yeezy
    gucci

    cam’ron is a fraud? gucci is a fraud? he just went to jail for doing what he raps about. I know personally that camron is real.

    that just goes to show you that the general public is clueless about whats real and whats fake. some of the realest rappers in the game are the ones precieved to be fake. (cough cam’ron) its funny to me caus eyou come on these blogs and people swear they know what they talkin about and dont know shit! lady next door, stop speaking as if things are facts when you dont know these people and dont know the truth. your a blogger, stay in the blogger lane!
    and I guess cause Kanye west is a “homosexual” that means that means hes not real or a fraud? not good for hiphop? grow up! these rappers are entertainers! they are here to entertain! would you like for them to go out and kill people to be real? shut up! especially when you have no clue what your talking about. lol camron a fraud?? smh man..if you only knew! continue being a hater,believing what the media chooses to show you! lol
