nothing lasts forever...especially in hip hop. Dude had a hell of a run: As a shorty, in the early '00s, then a few years later as a young adult. Problem is, and its a common one, these cats spend like those checks will be an eternal reality. Once the money stops, but the spending doesnt, you got the classic recipe.

My only thing is, do these not nikkas not OWN anything. Its like they was making all that money and have ZERO to show for it. I can see a nikka wasting they money on nice whips, fancy chains and thangs but where is all that shyt NOW. Like shouldnt he have some of that shyt, that he can liquidate and still have some money leftover. I mean if he bought a 250k lambo back then surely he can sell it for like 100k which is still alot of money. Take that 100k, put it into the right financial investments and he'll be straight.

He tried to sell the lambo on eBay for $150k it didn't sell so it got repod, he still owes the bank Money for the repo fees

But that proves your point, he never owned it he took out a 84 month loan on it and couldn't maintain his 4k+ monthly payments

niqqas arent puttin' that gwap in financial investments, unless "financial investments" is a stripper. When these checks start hitting the mailbox at 200,000, 50,000 135,000 a pop, its real easy to lose all sanity if you dont have a mature, and well-meaning support team. You start tricking at the club, taking care of your fam and boys, buying depreciating assets like jewelry, cars, etc and before you know it you're dire financial straits once the money dries up.

Props on the insight. But who is advising these nikkas. Why is he loaning, and renting anything other than a home. If the nikka had millions why not just buy the shyt. Now those thousands he spent are gone to waste.

Im hip that they not investing the money but surely even they BUY these depreciating assets they should still have SOMETHING at the end of the day. Like if he was feeling himself and bought a $50k chain back when he had money, now that he dont have much shouldnt he be able to sell that for like $10k. Same goes for the Lambo example (somebody stated above that he in fact did try to sell his lambo and nobody bought it).

Bow wow was a never was.
He was a voice over snoop biter talent.
Who never respected hip hop.
Nor, did he ever try to even actually ramp up and learn how to really write rhyme and emcee.
With every imaginable resource at his disposal.
When he was around enough talent to persevere and actually be mentored by artist who could have helped him ramp up into a great emcee
when you actually survey, the calibur of talent/resources.
Bow wow was consistently around or had access to.
Duke is a little culture stealer and he was limited like any and every child rapper who never tried to learn from a mentor to be a higher calibur talent.
Which is a lack of hip hop culture.
As every failed child rapper succumbed to the same thing except for three.
Who assailed past being just a child rapper.
Those three are:

LL cool j ; silver Foxx mentor
Jamal ; red/def squad
Busta rhymes : bokb squad

The others forgot or never worked on skills or cared about their cultural standing.

Bow woww is one of those.
Fuxk that little culture stealer as nikka.
Plus I hope where you got your funds hid.
They unearth that shyt or somebody steals the shyt from you.
As you never honorably really made one dollar as a repectable artist in the business of rap.
Plus were a scourge to the actual culture as well.

fukk that goof lame imposter voice over Pixar actor ass nikka, fa real.

Tdot.. till the death of me
He didn't do nuthing wrong but be a kid rapper....I'm pretty sure it would be impossible to be a kid rapper then be succesful in the lane that he's tryna navigate and contend in.

And before u say Wayne,I think Wayne wuz a little bit older but more importantly he didn't do kid raps,he always rapped about gangsta shyt...

I don't think admitting that you want to kill yourself on twitter helps, either. You're cool if you can skillfully display your suicidal tendencies through songs, but I can't name one artist that gained popularity/respect/sales by crying on social networks.

That "Wanted" album was actually dope. Remember being in Florida the week it dropped that nikka was EVERYWHERE. That Ciara record was flames too.

Guess he just grew up and found it difficult to keep his fanbase intact. This nikka is mid-twenties now but just the name Bow Wow itself automatically makes you think "Bow wow woh, yippee-yoh, yippee-yay" smh.

He eatin' though, should be anyway.
