Lil Bow Wow became a huge phenomenon around the age of
10. Rappers Jermaine Dupri and Snoop
Doggy Dog were his main supporters.
Justin Bieber started at his career at age 14 with usher as his number
one supporter. So far that is something
the both have in common. The biggest difference is they have two totally
different careers. Why is it that when
Bow Wow turned 18 he couldn’t earn the publics respect? Bieber is now 18 and
still has everyone attention. I am here to tell you why.
Lil Bow Wow was never seen without his bodyguard Jermaine
Dupri the first few years in his career. He was their gimmick. To the public
they were his baby sitters. Who at the age of 10 is seriously a gangsta rapper
anyway? That wasn’t his true identity. So when he turned 18 and wanted to be
taken serious it was hard. The public was wondering where his baby sitters
went. In a clip I found he did a performance looking more like a flash back to
Snoop Dog’s younger years. Trying to
mature in front of the camera he forms a relationship with the current new
songstress Ciara. Great the publics already wont accept your grown man acts
your offering, but you go and take on a woman bigger and taller than you? Why
to show masculinity. Then to take his joke of a rapping career further, we find
out all his lyrics are ghost written by TI. This for me wasn’t hard to believe,
being that his whole career he never had his own identity.

Justin Bieber came out as the 14 year old cutie pie that can
sing. This super cute sweet heart appeal was irresistible even to the 30 year
olds. The great thing is it didn’t
appear to be anyone else identity. Sure Usher Raymond brought him on but he was
considered an artist. Not apart of a clique. So when it was time to turn 18 and
transition into a more mature sexy role it was smoother. I my self was driving
in my car and heard “Boyfriend” and got a tad flushed. I was so in shocked that
he was whispering at me through my speakers with swag. At that point I totally
accepted him.

If I was working with Bow Wow on his management there are a
few things I would of done differently. He would not appear to have a nanny. In
the link I provided of Justin in an interview by himself you can see the
difference in professionalism and he is all by him self. I would have never had him go off the grid
like he did. He was trying his craft in different avenues like acting, which I
fine, but that is where he dropped the ball musically. He had somewhat of an
identity already that we semi respected. So, for him to come back with a
different one and not allow the public to grow with you in it made it
unbelievable. You can’t have snoop swag
when you leave and a Wayne or TI swag when you get back. If he wanted to appear
mature he was advised horribly to go date super tall Ciara. A girl his size and cute would have been
better. As well action shots would have been perfect. The shots of those two
together are all posed public shots. They were young rich and famous they
should of be out doing lots of fun stuff in pictures. A woman his size will allow him to look like
a man. Him and Angela Simmons were perfect. He could have gone without Ciara.Then, next could have had the major break up song. The gangster bad boy persona would have been
more acceptable then.
I do accept that the came out at different times but it is
the same Idea. If bow-wow had taken these steps he would still have a career
and wouldn’t have to settle for being Mr. 106 n Park literally. Personally I believe coming out before the age
of 16 is a short-term career anyway. I would only do it with short-term
expectancy. He could have stretched it out if these things were thought about.
