If he would’ve kept this style as he got older he would’ve been cold af 🔥😭 by now!

[@MrAgodine]

He stil rap this. It was just impressive to see a kid rap this way and he do a lot of corny lame shit

[@oneday5572]

@@MrAgodine Yea he’s corny as hell now

[@ColdBloodedGodsChild]

You can tell he got his style from Da Brat though, he still rap like this, but he needs to channel his younger self…he can definitely do it, but he’s gotta want to. Big fan! I remember these days like the back of my hand. One of my inspirations.

Best kid rapper ever. Go Bow! Killed this. Always had great stage presence and charisma.

[@lawhisper47]

He is 1 of 1. The First Child rapper that went mainstream. There still hasn't been another child rapper like him that has reached his level of success, None! His name Bow Wow should be in the Hollywood walk of Fame with all the other Stars!

[@shaggyajao5685]

I used to like bow wow alot. Like I had his 1st CD and.when I was younger like teenager. Cause I didn't think that I was ever going to like a another child star after kriss kross.

[@Keezie27]

@@shaggyajao5685 Yes, Kriss Kross was great as well. Too bad they didn't last long but they had talent. Honestly, Bow Wow and Kriss Kross when they were kids could out rap a lot of adult rappers.

This is the bow wow I would’ve paid a thousand dollars for a meet and greet. Not 2022 bow wow- I’m good.✊🏽 this dudes popularity was on another level back in these times.

[@geeva99]

That is the price of childhood fame, but usually when you hold on the down wave and collect wisdom on the way it comes back when you are more older and you be the uncle of the nation etc just a metaphysical properties of life

[@tevo1192]

They really had us crip walking as children that's some wild shit😭

[@T3l3MuNd0]

That's how it WAS back then especially in them middle school dances. 1st the dances would be all guys & girls grinding on each other. & once the teachers turned on the lights because there was too much grinding on the dance floor. . . It THEN became C-Walk competition with everyone in a circle with usually 2 people battling it out on their style of dancing. . .

[@geeva99]

This need to go on the hip hop documentary of the century

[@Soul-zl7ym]

You know he was the shit even grown ups blast his music I remember when like mike came out man that’s my movie and soundtrack for that is bomb

[@zackgordon2057]

To be that young and actually be rapping and have that type of breath control needs to be talked about

[@FlashMoney8]

This brought back an instant nostalgia of me being a kid in the early 2000s seeing originality in most rappers , for Bow Wow to be in middle school at the time it inspired me to say I could be a star myself cause I had skills the energy personality until I saw the Industry for the sheisty chess game it is, yet and still these were great times and its a great time to be alive now the authentic artistry will supercede the plants and agenda pushers, side bar to have Jay- Z doing your ad libs as a kid performing in New York is a flex shouts to Bow Wow for being a Legend

[@omiikojackson6445]

You can't expect a singer or rapper to keep their same style forever, everyone gets older and they have different lives than how they lived when they were kids. They are adults now and some of them have kids of their own now and some are married or are in relationships now. They have different mindsets and different outlooks on life
