Can Bow Wow Run His Own Record Label?

It seems that since Bow Wow's recording future is looking extremely bleak with the apparent failure of his latest album “The Price of Lame”.(Currently Bow's album is # 71 after only 7 weeks on the charts.) Bow is looking to reach out and create other business opportunities for himself.

While many strive to create their own record label within the music industry, many have also failed at making it a success. Look at Missy Elliot and The Goldmind Inc. Though she’s had the ability to make amazing beats and bring home platinum plaques for her and other A-list artists. When it came time for her to develop her own artists and make them into stars, she failed miserably. Might I remind you of Tweet, Nicole Wray, Gina Thompson, Mocha, Torrey Carter, etc. (If you don’t know who half those people are that I just mentioned, I’ve just proven my point.)

G-Unit front man and token bad boy, 50 cent, also created his own label that started off quite successfully. But, after multiple artists flops (Lloyd Banks, Mobb Deep, and Tony Yayo) G-Unit’s future is also looking very uncertain.

Bow Wow, who hit the music industry at the tender age of five, hopes to recreate the magic that propelled him to superstar status with his first artist, 13-year-old Young Jinsu.

In a statement Bow Wow said:

"I'm passing the Lil Bow Wow torch to Jinsu," this Bow Wow movement with teenagers, girls and kids goes back to Jermaine being a mentor, father figure and learning from him and watching him for the past seven years."

Young Jinsu, 13, is officially apart of Bow’s new labeled called The LB Dub Gang.

"This is my crew," said of his crew, which includes Clee-O, an 18 year old actor/rapper who has already been featured alongside Bow Wow in Roll Bounce and The Rock in Walking Tall.

What do y’all think, is Bow Wow ready to take on the industry and take control of a full blown recording label? Let’s not forget that when Jermaine Dupri took over as President for Virgin’s Urban Division, and Bow Wow went to JD seeking his own label, Jermanine told him no.

I’m wishing him all the best, but there is a big difference in watching a prolific music mogul like Jeramine Dupri, and applying that to your own business venture. Music CEO’s like Puffy, JD, Clive Davis, and Antonio LA Ried talents isn’t something you can manufacture. You’ve either got it, or you don’t.

Does Bow Wow Have it, what y’all got to say?

Talk to y'all lata

We got three post's today, so get ready!

BOW WOW? RECORD COMPANY? NAAAAAAW. What would his fan base be? a bunch of 13 year old teeny boppaz who stalk him and his artitsts on my space? Naw, i dont see any career in owning a record label for bow wow. Especially after hearing what he was signing.

Good for bow wow.....he's building bridges for himself...I hope he's successful.

@ DJ OKTOBA

First of all, Happy Valentines Day. Let me be the one and only person to tell you that all day. Let a white nigga know what he can do for you. 2nd: What the fuck you know about 400 years of oppression? Nigga, you 35 if not 40 years old and you don't even know who your daddy was. The fuck you know about history? You learned it watching those tv shows? Nigga, please... get off a white nigga'z nuts.

@ SouthernMiss

I hope you got them chocolates I sent you. Later on tonight I'm a take you to the Westin hotel. We'll stay at my suite on the 5th floor. I'll order a little champagne, a couple of steaks, cheese eggs and Welch's grape. We'll conversate for a few, then we gon start sexing. I got those pics that you sent me. I photoshopped those herpes sores out ya crotch area, so we all good, baby. Let a white nigga know what he can do for you.

The White Nigga Movement continues! Shit got kinda out-of-context, but the white niggaz is still here, we're still thugging it! Happy Valentines Day to all the white niggaz grinding for they bitchez.

Who da fuck care about Bow Wow??

Oh Yeah First you Crab ass Fools!!

LB Dub Gang...'Nuff said.

I don't know about yall but as I reflect on my and my family's place in this country during this black history month... I'm moved and inspired by "THE BOW WOW MOVEMENT"..

seriously if I hear one more dumb ass rapper categorize themselves the same way the Huey's and Ceasar Chavez's did their work I'ma smack the techron outta somebody

Dude how can you say G-Unit's future is uncertain?

When you run a record label, and 300,000 units is the worst you are doing, thats not bad at all

Labels like Def Jam would kill to have their worst album sell 300,000.

You obviously don't know the record industry when you think that one album over gold, and 2 at 300k is bad.

u took shit personal early this morning. damn. lol -

but i think bow wow will do good. i think he's smart enough to target the kids, so i think he'll be okay. i dont know how he'll do as far as keeping his artists happy and wealthy. but im sure jermaine dupree is going to have his hands in it. ( more teeny bopper money for jd)

i think g unit may have had their slump, but i think in the long run, they'll be okay. i think 50 did his job, now its time for them to be their own man so doubters will give them a lil more respect. ( im a fan of bucks music - not his character tho )

missy - i dont think she had a big enough budget to develope her artists how she wouldve liked.

but one person i will never forget is master p. i mean they were droppin independently every two weeks for a while. he even turned his brothers and sons and nephews hot ( into superstars ). dude sold close to one hundred million records independently. thats a lotta guap.

i think if he can do that, anyone can be succesful if they just apply muscle and smarts

Bow Wow signed me, I'm the best female rapper out right now. I'm putting Newark NJ back the the map.

FUKK all you haters, I was on tour with Bow and Chris Brown - they are both great businessmen and lovers.

man...i thought decman and zone 4 told u bout this. u got an obsession with bow wow or something? stop posting about that lil nig if u hate him so much. most of the folks who check this site out prolly older than 14 so they dont care about that kid. I dunno if he brushed u off when u wanted to do an interview or what but come with something better than this.

BOW"s problem is that he has that clean image. The chicks his age want a nigga who smoke weed and run around in the street. Not a clean cut mama's boy with money. that shit ain't adventourous for them. They rather kick it with a knucklehead.
That's why Jim Jones stole all of BOW WOW's fans.
It's that simple

LB Dub(lol) should concentrate on acting, he's already did a few movies that made some money. Starting a label ain't as easy as it seems and especially if he doesn't have a great producer or big label behind him more than likely he's going to just end up wasting money that he's going to need when he's 40. I respect Bow Wow for being true to himself and not trying to be a killer/drugdealer/thug, but it's look like 15 minutes is just about up. Hell he should be proud of his accomplishments so far, he did alot for kid who don't write his own lyrics.

The problem is his fan base is growing up and nobody checking for him anymore. Them teenage girls who used to buy his albums are 18-22 now and a 5'2" 115 lb dude wit a bird chest just ain't motivating them to go buy the album.

Bow Wow would be good to step away for awhile and come back with a new look, like a young Jay-Z.

well, i'm timid about shad having his own label, i give him props for having big balls to do so, but lil miss nana
been wit bow for a minute and she hasn't dropped anything and she's not attractive and kleo i never heard him flow and he looks like a lame
he has no style and he rides shad's dick
when bow grow his hair so does kleo
and when shad cut his hair kleo cut his too and that's some faggot stuff
i think ciara and shad broke up cuz she
might have caught shad and kleo doing the nasty, i like the lyrics they wrote for bow wow in beware of dob
but after that it was over
let me hold you was hot cuz omarion was on the song
and that song with ciara was so fake
don't know real woman wanna be with a man who sleeps with lots of women and think it's cool, there's alot of HIV out there and he probaly slepted with ill na na, his label will be based on teeny boopers. you can't even write your own rhymes, so how can u help another artist only by taking them on tour. ill na na and kleo been living that life with shad which means you lil young'n don'y know nothing about the struggle, the hood, that type of life and that's the kind of art work that ppl like me look to display
there's too much going on in the world to be all listening to that bling bling bull crap, no one ever mention what they're trying to put out
no one said anything about waking up lost souls, changing minds, making a difference and you guys( LBW) don't even have a story to tell
i hope u don't embarass yourselfs
cuz i'll feel bad for you lol
but good luck

one more thing
shad you should go to school(college)
learn how to write creatively
make your mom proud and learn something
black ppl come along way
and you make us look bad by not going to school for we had to fight for a education

The label will flopp, bow wow don't know what he's doin. He has had all these lil kid artist gas and didn't put one of them out yet. Miss Nana is the hottest one on is label. I heard all them rap and If bow wow want to make a name for his label he would stopping playing and put some time into his artist. He's done !!!!!!

Also I heard Miss Nana aint even signed to Bow Wow. He just used her to make his lable look big. Just like he did ROC and Murder Mook... See God don't like when you play with people careers. Your wrong lil bow wow. Keep it gansta...and either shit or get off the pot... lol
