Chris Brown Is Apparently “2 Young 2 Give A F*ck”
Mon Sep 26 2011 by Becky Bain
We have no doubt that Chris Brown, at the tender age of 22, is "2 Young 2 Give A Fuck", which is why he has no qualms naming his new song just that. We also believe Brown is 2 young 2 figure out what kind of artist he really is, as he continues to jump from electronic dance robot ("Beautiful People"), to pop star ("Next 2 You"), to sex fiend ("Spend It All"), to sensitive lover ("Open Road (I Love Her)") to flippant mixtape-dropping hip-hop star (this song). It's one thing to be diverse; it's another to not even know what kind of music you want to be associated with. In any case, catch Breezy's new song (with Bow Wow) below.

The televised party was packed with appearances from hip hop artists including Bow Wow, Chris Brown, Nelly and Jamie Foxx—many of whom credit the show for their success. Fans were also treated to performances from Fabulous, Trey Songz, Ice Cube and Ashanti. Flip through to peep the highlights from 106 & Park’s “aluminum” anniversary—and if you missed the celebration, catch it here. More »
Pretty Ricky: Ready To Take The “Humping The Air” Crown Back From Any And All Pretenders To The Throne
Tue May 26 2009 by Maura
Did you know that there is such a thing as an “air sex” competition, in which one’s ability to hump around with imaginary objects is graded for the purpose of winning notoriety and not much else? It’s true! There are even going to be some World Series Of Fake Love in Canada next month. Judging by the clip after the jump, however, the news that there is a competitive League Of Grinding Against Nothing In Particular has not yet reached the members of overly horny R & B boy band Pretty Ricky, even though their whole aesthetic is tailor made for chucking any pretense of a music career and devoting all their time to entering contests like the Air Sex competitions. At least, that has to be why Pretty Ricky member Spectacular “Sexy Spec” Smith has thrust he is calling a grinding challenge in the direction of his contemporaries, who include Chris Brown, Bow Wow, the members of Day 26, and whoever else is more famous than his band these days. And by “thrust,” I mean “wiggle his pelvis around in ways that are probably not safe for work in 99.9% of cases while his band’s not-very-good new single about, sigh, being drunk in a club blares in the background.” Clip after the jump, if you dare!

Bow Wow Decides To Collar Himself
Tue Apr 14 2009 by Maura
Bow Wow—the hip-hop star who grew up in front of America’s eyes over the past 16 years—has announced his retirement from the music business, telling RealTalkNY that “there’s no more that needs to be done on the music side, I’ve done everything.” And by “everything,” he means “released a record with a Parental Advisory sticker attached,” since that was the case with his latest album New Jack City II, which came out at the end of last month and debuted on the albums chart at No. 16, selling just shy of 31,000 copies in its first week on shelves. Bow Wow is claiming that he wants to focus on acting—he’s been on the bro-down Entourage and is currently working on a movie with Lil Wayne and Forest Whitaker—but I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a “comeback” record from dude within the next five years. After the jump, relive Bow Wow (when a Lil was attached to his name) appearing on The Arsenio Hall Show in 1993.

“You may recognize Bow Wow when he pops up on HBO’s Entourage this September as a new client of Eric’s (Kevin Connolly), but don’t bother looking for his name in the credits. The 21-year-old rapper-actor is opting to use his real moniker, Shad Moss.” More »

Has Bow Wow Lost His Love For Music?
Wed Jun 11 2008 by anthonyjmiccio
In what can only be described as the most damning example of how the music industry has lost any semblance of influence and esteem in today’s artistic sphere, Bow Wow has declared that his number-one priority is now acting. While there were signs of fatigue in his oeuvre, like naming his last solo album The Price Of Fame, it’s still startling to see one of the most promising and imaginative rappers of the young generation say that acting is more important to him right now. “Music is second to me right now,” he told MTV. Acting is my number-one priority… and this is the first time in my acting career I’ve been able to do movies back to back to back. I don’t wanna lose that momentum. I don’t know if this opportunity will ever come around again, so I want to abuse it as much as I can.” Abuse. Interesting choice of words.
The Worst Album Cover Of The Year Tournament Takes A Bite Out Of Bow Wow And Omarion
Tue Dec 18 2007 by jharv
Much like Spank Rock and Benny Blanco’s greasy hindquarters, many of you think that Hell Rell’s For The Hell Of It happens to be one of the best album covers of 2007. (I happen to agree with you on this one.) Surely this means that the two faces of R&B/hip-hop evil will win this round in a walk? Or will the bullet-mouthed Diplomat have enough ammo to take out Bow Wow and Omarion?

Why was Bow Wow hospitalized last week? First it was “stress,” then it was appendicitis, and now it’s a dressing-room-hissy-fit-inflicted injury to his hand in which he lost a lot of blood… even though neither of his hands have bandages on them in this videoclip of him explaining away his injury.
