In a recent interview with MTV, Bow Wow spoke about possibility retiring from the rap game in the near-future: “I wanna be the next Will Smith,” the 21-year-old recently said, restating his growing passion for acting while sitting poolside at L.A.’s Le Montrose Suite Hotel. “After the eighth album, I’m done. I already feel it. I love acting. I love my music like I said, but I feel it. After this one, probably one more in me and that’s eight. Like, I’m one [album] behind Nas, and that’s crazy.”
LP number seven comes out later this year. It’s called The Pedigree.
Reading this, you’d think he’d sold albums by the truckload or was held in any kind of critical regard. Unfortunately for Shad, none of these apply lol. I’m guessing it’s more the fact that next to no one is checking for him on the music tip anymore, so acting is his new ‘passion’. That said, I can’t down him on this one; get in where you fit in, I say.
Any thoughts?

RETIRE!!! dont nobody like you no more…all your old fans have grown out of you!!! booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
He was Hott for a while, tia, indeed.
But those days are long gone, and if you dont believe me, check his Marco Polo video.
That one is killing me softly.
bye f**
He’ll never be the next anyone, maybe the next Vern Troyer….dude too short to be a “Will Smith” and too scrawny….I think people should accept his limitations he wanted to be a b’baller at 3″11″ wasn’t gonna work, we wanted to rap but he’s played now he wants to act and pretend like we gonna be somebody’s box office pull…don’t think so, he needs to just step out of the lime light and take his ass to school or something before we see him in amateur p***.
good.but please no more cd’s
Pussycat Dolls are in KL, Malaysia
It’s only days before the MTV Asia Awards, and the first of the many international acts have already landed in town. Today, the Pussycat Dolls previewed a few tracks from their upcoming album Dolls Domination (set to release on September 15) at their South East Asian press conference.
The lead single off Dolls Domination, ‘When I Grow Up’ (produced by Rodney Jerkins), is already making waves on the charts, making it the Pussycat Dolls’ fourth top ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Among the producers they worked with on the album are Cee-Lo, Scott Storch, Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic), Darkchild and of course, Timbaland. Besides the lead single, other tracks include ‘Away’, ‘Barely Breathe’, ‘Bottle Pop’, ‘Fly The World’, ‘If I Were A Man’, ‘In Person’ and ‘Psycho’. Look out for a faux Brit accent on the track ‘Watchamacallit’ (sp?).
At the press conference Nicole, Ashley, Melody, Kimberly and Jessica also discussed Kim Kardashian’s upcoming stint as a guest Pussycat Doll. The girls also revealed that they will embark on a world tour that will bring them back to the SEA region (some time in March/April 09).

even though im not a big fan… Sam ur a bit wrong… every single album apart from one went platinum, d boy has sold records… his fan base
is alot (females luv the dude)… more respect to him though
He should. He’s a much better actor than he is a rapper.
he should just retire from entertainment completely…go back to school and learn how to be humble.
If he weren’t so arrogant I would like him more..
Better to know when to abandon ship and do it than sink like the Titanic!
No one is checkin’ for him anyways. He’s still trying to prove his manhood by talking about people on YouTube.
Bow Wow is a loser. No one is checkin for him except for 9 year old girls. He’s irrelevent in the rap game. Do US all a fovor and retire from life.
He’s so f***** cocky and arrogant for no apparent reason. He doesn’t even write his own s***. SIT THE F*** DOWN.
congrats bow wow, im jkin ur goin to be missed.

Bow who??? Puhhllease this one needs to go and sit somewhere
i think its good that he’s retiring too, but i doubt a holywood career would be lucrative for him, being honest he’s too short for any lead roles, he could play the comic relief like in tokyo drift I guees. Every job has a description.
lmbao@being the next will smith…BOY BOO!he is not even that good of an actor,his acting is not believable to me….good luck to him though!
but i will say that arrogance wont get you anywhere,somebody needs to help him with that
THE SOONER, THE BETTER
lOl JUST JOKING, I don’t hate Bow Wow, I just wouldn’t buy any of his Albums
STFU Bow Wow! Don’t even try to compare yourself to Will. Johnson Family Vacation and Like Mike aren’t even on the same planet, caliber wise aas Independent Day and Bad Boys. Not even in the league with Wild Wild West, and that sucked!!
u n***** shud stop hatin really. and sam, why are u always takin on him ? he has had some really good joints. marco polo was s*** thou..
stop hating on bow wow
he has some hot songs
he is a great actor, has anyone seen roll bounce, he had a crying scene
i think he can be the next will smith
his albums are good too but he shouldn’t do whole albums with only jermaine dupri
he should work with timbaland, b. m. c**, the runners, danja, and polow da don
i can’t wait for the hurricane season movie he has with forest whitaker, taraji p. henson, and lil wayne
thank you to all of the true bow wow fans. there is nothing wrong with his music. it’s catchy and fun and he is a very talented actor. he deserves an oscar and a golden globe. big ups to bow. good luck on all that you do.
