Bow Wow Begs Labels To Stop “Pushing Subpar A** Artists”

Bow Wow will never not be vocal about his feelings on Hip-Hop. The So So Def alum took to Twitter on Monday (Oct. 16) to air his grievances about the rap music that’s come out in recent years and what’s potentially missing from the lack of quality.

“Can we please bring back artist development at these labels? Do these labels even care about these artists?,” Bow questioned. “Y’all be throwing them on platforms knowing they’re not ready. A boxer is trained and taught before battle. We just keep throwing these subpar-a** artists out here with no proper teaching.”

The veteran rapper, then, spotlighted a select number of artists by name before continuing his rant.

“It’s too many real ones out here on the come up like Symba, WESTSIDE BOOGIE, I can name so many more. Lady London, Lola Brooke. Like, new artists that got it! Who deserve the push,” expressed the father of two. “Stop pushing that bulls**t on us! The fans are waking up and hip hop is about to change for the better. Stay in the house if you’re playing, and move over and let the real ones play.”

Before concluding his heated one-sided exchange, the Roll Bounce actor specified the issues within newer talent.

“They can’t talk. I don’t understand what the f**k they saying,” he explained. “Be dry as hell in interviews. Y’all know I take the stage serious! I don’t even wanna get on they stage presence. Rapping over vocals, s**t is sloppy out here, man. We gotta clean this s**t up. Get better or get the f**k out the way.”

This isn’t the first time Bow has expressed concerns about the legacy of Hip-Hop. REVOLT noted that back in January, he called for a unionization, similar to what the NBA has. “Hip hop needs a board!,” tweeted the 36-year-old. “A committee that can set rules, keep things in control, and protect this thing we call hip hop! And have a retirement plan for the OG rappers. I hate seeing my heroes liquored out, no money, just washed.”

However, this type of committee already exists. The Hip-Hop Alliance was introduced in July 2022 and was founded by Chuck D, Kurtis Blow, KRS-One, and Doug E. Fresh.
