Bow Wow

Snoop Dogg

<a href="/profile/bow-wow" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Bow Wow</a> isn’t all jokes and <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/414124-bow-wow-explains-why-its-tough-for-him-to-remain-monogamous-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">social media antics</a>. The 35-year old rapper-actor was once<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/344252-how-bow-wow-paved-the-way-for-drakes-career-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> one of the biggest young artists</a> in the game. Even today, the Ohio native is selling out arena tours, performing some of his greatest hits. Bow, real name Shad Moss, is currently on his second arena tour within the past year.



Bursting on to the scene at the meek age of six-years old caused Bow to be <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/408895-bow-wow-regrets-his-music-career-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">brought up by many legends</a> in the game, including <a href="/profile/SnoopDogg" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Snoop Dogg</a>, who was the first to discover the young rapper.

“I remember having a conversation with Snoop,” he told Rolling Out. “He was just like, “Yo, bro, you a legend. I birthed you into this s—. Understand who you are, you can’t be a clown out here. You’ve got to make sure you walk like a legend, talk like one and present yourself as that, and it’ll come.” Snoop’s words resonated deeply with the young legend.&nbsp;



He continued, “I stood with that for the past four-five years and been on this clean streak of just wins with two arena tours, Verzuz, reminding everybody how bad of a m——— I really am.” Snoop Dogg has certainly practiced what he preached. Earlier this week, he revealed the cover art for his upcoming joint mixtape with <a href="/profile/DJDrama" class="text-word" target="_blank" >DJ Drama</a> entitled, “I Still Got It.”
