As a kid rapper he wuz already dead...we all know 90% of rappers got about 10 yrs of relevancy and that's the legends we talkin about.....Bowwow used all of his up in his youth....and sumhow managed to sound more soft as a grown man than as a kid......puberty fuked this nikka up lol...his voice and delivery wuz kinda raw when he wuz a little boi,and distinctive....he hit puberty and sound generic as fuk all of a sudden....Lil Wayne helped himself greately by not rapping as a KID rapper,he didn't pigeonhole himself...rapped about street shyt as a kid and did it well.
