Guess it depends on whether you'r buying the story he always hated rap
I see his rap career as two halves, the kiddie rapper and the guy that wanted to be the legit rapper. He dropped the Lil from his name, started cussing and swagger jacking to get credit as a grown rapper. And he was never taken seriously as an adult or had close to the success of his JD days. And I don't believe at all he didn't want to rap all that time, he wanted to be known as a great rapper
So yeah Lil Bow Wow was a success, but Bow Wow was not
Plenty of people hate what they do and what they are most known for. Lil Bow Wow been on since 5. What kind of a life could he actually have? What 5 year old sticks to one dream profession? He made it as a rapper. All he knew was rapping and acting. Acting is escapism and he can make good money. Regardless of age how many artists have had long lasting careers? LL Cool J is probably the longest, then Nas, Jay-Z & Lil Wayne. You could throw Scarface and Cube in it too, but nobody rocks with them too tough. It's not a lot. Most are here today gone tomorrow.

Bow Wow wants to be popular...whether it be rap, acting, comedy, tv, wife(n) up hip hop reality smuts,...it doesnt matter....bow wow just wants to keep being famous...and that's becoming a struggle.

Not sure when I can recall Nick Cannon being a lame, or a crybaby. I have a lot of respect for dude as a person regardless of whether I ever enjoyed his music. Nick Cannon has gone through a lot and busted his ass for everything he has.
I can't say the same for Bow Wow, I don't see how they are in the same bracket at all.

Not to cape for the lil nikka, but dude has been putting in work in the industry since like age 4. Doing multi night sold out shows at 12, working around the clock touring, press conferences, recording. That's gotta earn some type of ability to speak on anything he feels. I mean you can dispute this, but ask yourself wtf where you doing at age 12? If it wasn't taking care of your family by performing in front of 10's of thousands on a nightly basis, then please dismiss the hate from your blood bruh.

In a way I can see why, he was a child star and a very lucrative one at that, so he was probably pushed/pressured a lot.

Just because he may have continued through adulthood, doesnt mean he neccesarily enjoyed but rather did it for any potential money gains.
Yeah, I call it the Andre Agassi Syndrome: his whole life, his father made him play tennis competitively and he actually hated tennis . So he got good at it just so his Dad would get off his back, or something like that.

How'd his music career flop?

First album double plat, and the next four were either gold or plat.

That's not a flop.


I'm pretty sure hes talking about bow wow's attempt at a serious adult rap career.

bow wow used to try to say he was a legend. dude been jumping from label to label too.
I still remember when he tried to plug his name in with ll cool j & the greats during a 106th & park interview.

that doesn't sound like some1 who hates rap. especially when they have more lucrative activities going on & they don't need to get in the booth.

why isn't this the official LSA icon:ehh:


lol. more fuel to the fire.

this is when he was tryna be seen as a serious rapper. in his mind, he probably thought he looked like 2pac on camera.

Well it kinda happens when u a gimmick and didn't know how to rap from the jump. Just had people writing rhymes for u all ur life. U don't like to rap cause u not a rapper nikka.

This

nikka ain't probably wrote a bar in his life so of course he doesn't like rap, and probably why he never did.
