You have to have done something for it to be considered a retirement!!!

Frances it’s people that work jobs everyday and retire and never make a significant positive impact in their workplace. According to the article Bow Wow has done well. Maybe you just don’t care for him and I am not a fan either but if it’s the truth love him or hate him give credit where credit is due.

lol

damn y’all some bitter ass people he grew up under the limelight, he been rapping since what age 9 in entertainment years that is a life time, cut the kid some slack. I hope he has invested and stacked his money well this day was inevitable, you simply can’t rap forever.

PEACE BOW! VERY WIZE.

good job. you’ve paid your dues. Now enjoy your money while your still young enough to enjoy it.

i’m not a fan of his, but i do recognize that he has accomplished a sh!t load of stuff and he has been in the industry for mad long… visibly nationally for at least 10 years so… yeah… he’s got a reason to retire from that…

wtf this nigga think he hova or something he dont retire he just stop makin music he b bak dumb ass nigga

so…

It’s about time! He has the same fake swagger as souja boy and TI, I cannot wait for thoes other two and a few others to retire and stop acting like something they are not. We won’t miss you bow wow. Arf !

Uhh..retirement??? This BOY is only in his twenties! what the hell does he mean retire?? and he had a new album?? well shoot. idk.

umm who is this guy retiring and how come i never heard of him?

He needs publicity for that album.

Maybe he wants to take some time to spend with his Boy, out of the public eye.

Bow Wow was still in the game??? i don’t think we gonna realize ur gone

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz oh he retired?!

I think he’s really just trying to get into the limelight for a moment, I dont think he will actually really do it, what’s the reason, he hasn’t had that many hits, then again hell i would give up to lol

will he get a real job now

legacy? he has no legacy. he was hot when he was 13 cause he was the only one doing it and all the girls loved him

SO does that mean he’s going to get a real job? like the rest of us?

Bow wow was great as a kid sensation, but he hasn’t done too well since his voice got deeper. But on the real,I thought he stopped rapping when he adn JD split. Go figure he was still making albums. Hell be back though, just a publicity stunt though.

please dont let is “retirement”lead to dum ass movies or trying to be a producer or making movies.. oh god!!!lol

bout time! me and my husband was just talking about how bow wow sucks ass now!

still rich and he aint helpin me so i dont care if he retire or not..

His fan base has grown and he hasn’t… literally. Poor guy.. that sucks that he’s left behind while his fans have moved on to…T.I and the tween fanbase has Souljah boy… left out in the cold..

But i will not be sad to not hear another bow wow song..

IF YOU LISTEN TO HIM HE SOUND LIKE AN ASS….IF HE IS GOING TO QUIT QUIT AND DO SOMETHING ELSE….BUT DON’T KEEP SAYING WHAT YOU HAVE AND WHAT YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO.. L.L. COLLJ BEEN AROUND SINCE WHAT LATE 70′S EARLY 80′S AND HE STILL DOING HIS THING….BOW WOW IS A LITTLE ASS AND HE NEEDS TO GROW THE HELL UP…………

Bow Wow is a Pisces … very mutable and has been doin his thing since 5. So many hatas have fueled him, like the ones with the negative comments. He gettin that paper and will accomplished so much … he got a good team!

good move, smart move

bow wow has really feel off..and wow he has only had out like wat 4 or 5 albums and now u retiring…lame lame…he still young..guess he cant keep up..i used to be a huge fan of bow wow when i was younger and thats when he was hott..but yea he just fell off alot

Can everybody say PUBLICITY STUNT…I mean come on. Everybody pulls this one when the records aint sellin like they used to. LMAO!!!! Jus keepin it real. Holla!!!

Lol! Bow Wow Is A Joke.

hey listen to all of the poor, and middle-class haters on b.p hating does not lead to success. so stop hating on bow wow and person doing well for their selfs damn!

hey listen to all of the poor, and middle-class haters on b.p hating does not lead to success. so stop hating on bow wow and any person doing well for their selfs damn!

PVAUGHN25 you are a retard

oh please he sucks and no one cares for him anymore thats the real reason for his retirement….. next will be omarion

black people why are yall so negative

hey..he did his thing while he was hot but the past few years he been piggy backing of other people hotness..so im glad..and maybe other lames like soulja boy will be next..the hip hop game need some weeding out that’s why im glad Eminem is coming back

I very proud of Bow Wow’s decision! He is growing up and he is maturing! The game of music is no longer what it is! Rapper dissing rapper! Some rapper are photo copier image of other rappers. The rap game has fell off so bad and I am so glad that Bow Wow achieved so many accolades! He has money, power and respect and that it all that matters. His legacy is made in the music game! Congrats Bow Wow and many blessings!

this man drivng $100.000 dollar cars live in a damn near million dollar house and you all trying to put him down W.T.F

He ain’t retiring. Just another stunt to get attention. When ya album ain’t doing well…you gotta say something to get attention.

good… the lil nigg was wack n-e-way! i hope soulja boy retires his wack ass lyrics 2!

His fans grew out of him a long time ago anyway.

finally…..I can’t stand Bow Wow, but I did like Lil’ Bow Wow

Great! Bow wow wasn’t a real presence in hip-hop anyway. Only thing he did was get 15 year-old girls to cry and smile looking like a sissy on teen magazines. Hes a lame, no originality, lyrics, storylines, delivery or respect for the game. Who am I kiddin, he didnt even make music that anyone would remember or find influenial in twenty years so I guess i dont matter. THIS GOES OUT TO THE REST OF THE LAMES SINGING AND DANCING LIKE SOME PUSSIES, JOIN DAY26 OR SUMTHING, leave hip-hop for the MCs.

I wish the young man good luck with the rest of his life. I feel that he realized that his record sales have dropped so bad that it’s time for him to move on with something else in his life.

T.I. going to jail so nobody going to write for him so i would retire too when T.I.P. get out then he’ll come back

Damn finally shidddd but ummm im still on da dating a tranny part….Gucci Mane voice: WELL DAMNNNN!!!!

He needs to work on his education now.

he was str8 but he need to retire plus he fell off every since he said ciara pee n the bed ha ha ha lol

My fellow Ohioian is steppin down All these haters be hatin on the little Homey Bra ya Home State always will be there for ya support ya keepin f**kin these hoes and get money how ya get it the rest of you Haters go get money

What exactly is he retiring from??? dude hasnt had a REAL hit since he was a teen…he sucks like souljaboy..grow up and get back in the game with some real lyrics..

retiring and coming back sells records he will be back in a couple years

TRANNY? DAT ISH LOST ME RIGHT THERE…LOL

HOPEFULLY HE STAYS IN RETIREMENT CUZ HIS RAP IZ TRASHCAN GARBAGE

hey! all you people accusing others of hating need to stop it. the truth is that this rapper was indeed wack. first and foremost, they patterned him after snoop dogg hence the name lil bow wow, like giving scooby a scrappy. then he was so popular and successful because he was a lil kid and they knew that little girls would think he was cute, so they attacked the little girl market and he blew up. bow wow is now the residue of jermaine dupris’ intelligent, but exhausted advertisement idea. he was a studio made emcee who had never done a hard days work in his life. never had any street drama, never had a hard knock life or none of those things that a real emcee can put into music form and make you feel it. now, that is not hating , that is the f**king truth! i appreciate his success and im glad that he was blessed with the right people in his life. id love to see all children have the same oppourtunities as he and be blessed to live a really good life. but as far as hiphop goes, flush him! and everybody that looks like him musically. rap could have gone the rest of its days with out ever unleashing this rapper.

no one cares

LMFAO!!!! RETIRING??? DIS NIGGA CANT EVENT RAP.WTF. IS THIS A JOKE!!!

DAMN BOOTLEGGERS! BOW WOW YOU WERENT MEANT TO LAST THAT LONG IN THIS GAME!

he finally decides to leave the game?? its about damn time. his music is wack as hell. this is the best decision he’s ever made. i think he just needs to stop making music altogether.

this s**t is funny lmfao

Ay Bow Wow good luck to ya homie, I know the rap game proly gettin f**ked up right now, but now he gotta enough money to go do other thangs like movies or produce new talent. His record sales down and he realize that, so perfect time to chunk deuce.

to be in total honesty the only songs i can recall by him is that bounce with me and the one he did with Ciara over the New Edition beat.

damn Lil Bow, another one bites the dust…or maybe the pillow in this case.

damn that is real fcuked up blackplanet…im just anonymous all of a sudden?

oh thats too bad is it because t.i. is going to jail and he wont have anybodys swag to bite off for a year and a day!! good writtens he sucks and so does his music lol!

LMAO…Dont you still have to have a career to retire from?

Why not retire? I mean he came out as a ver young boy and had a prety good fan base. Now that he is older so are his fan’s the people who would be most loyal to him. Problem is his fans are now into Lil’ Wayne, T.I., ect. No fans no money thats the name of the game. I’ve never been a fan of Mr. 106&park although he is from my Hometown of Columbus Ohio. Bow Wow, Omarion, B2K all lost their fan base to puberty…lol! 106&park is not hard to achieve children vote for the daily top 10!

He was selling when he was younger. Now he is retiring, the pressure has been hard him no doubt. He does need to take a retirement/break…He hasn’t done good since 2005..Poor Bow. He can do other things..Good luck

The only people who care about this are his 17 and under groupies.

He is such a handsome and talented youngman. I wish him the best.

Good for him. He’s done well and if he needs to take a break then he let him. He deserves it. Stop the negativity…

OK….YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO RETIRE YOUNGBOA….IT’S OTHER THINGS OUT HERE FOR YOU….YOU’VE DONE GOOD IN THE GAME…NO DOUBT…JUST DON’T GET ON NO JAY Z S**T COMING OUT OF RETIREMENT……LOL

There is a God

ROTFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL SO WAT!!! WHO THE HELL IS BOW WOW OMG..I MEAN HIS MUSIC WAS OK ..BUT DO HE REALLY GOTTA “ANNOUNCE” THAT HE’S RETIRING….HE AINT AN ICON ..THE RAP GAME WIL BE AYEEEEEEE OKKKKKKKKKK WITHOUT HIM…LMMFAOOOO AT THE THINGS PEOPLE TO TO GET IN THE SPOTLIGHT

I wish he was retiring. One less lame ass song i have to hear on the radio, damn.

That’s a nice way to put it. He sold 13 THOUSAND copies of his CD the first week out. It’s time to quit buddy. Don’t feel bad, though, its a recession. And hey, they let your black ass have a sex scene with a fine woman in entourage that we all had to stomach, so life isn’t that bad at all right?

Good

Now if he could get some of these old ass lame ass rappers to follow his lead

Never quit Brother! So many people want to get to your level change your sound and rap game. I have a plan it’s what I do come to VA! and ask about ME! “The One 2 know”

HE SHOULD HAVE RETIRED 3 ALBUMS AGO HE HAS BEEN WHACK… TIME TO RECLAIM THE INDUSTRY, DRAKE DRIZZY AND KID CUDI LET’S GET IT

Another publicity stunt to get attention when will these wanna be talented people be tired of trying to buy people’s affection? I mean what is he retiring from he’s only 21. Its really angering to see what music has become over the last decade.

about time he retired before i got at him on the track its time to make room for scratch da getitman

yea fellaz we know bow wow is whack but the fact remains people still buy his album this man is not even 25 yet and he is talkin bout retirement. imma put it like this if he retire i shouldnt think about comin back cause rappin isnt about makin money yes that is a major part of it but a true artist does it for the love. he should rap because he likes to rhyme or make poetry or make the nest new dance lol.

it’s about time….I was getting tired of listening to the same old lyrics abt s**t I dnt really care about….he needs to regroup and find his niche again, that something that makes his music have value because somewhere between puppy love and you can get it all he lost his edge.

Speakin on some real s**t, bow wow kept fadin out and comin back over the few past years… To me, he was betta as lil bow wow… Although, I do like his songs like ‘my baby’ ft jagged edge and i’m lovin the new hit, ‘u can get it all’, even though I heard it was written by Nelly. It’s still nice though. I hope he’s not retirin because of the beef wit soulja boy; lol, afta all the s**t soulja boy said about him he’s bout embarrassed. Poor Bow wow! I’ve neva known rappers 2 retire @ such as young age, he’s been out only like 8 or 9 years and that wasn’t steady because he faded out like i said… he should have just took anotha fade!

he really should have considered retireing a long time ago lol because his music never really was all that anyway…and his looks in my book were never all that but I think this whole “retire thing” he pulling is a shame this foo only doning this to get publicity for his new cd

retire wat…he aint even been doin nothin…he came out wit marco polo wit soulja talkin bout tryin to grow up…now he talkin bout retirin like his azz been out here doin some hard …come on lets be real…he been done!!

he didnt even live yet…. retire what….atleast make to age 25

Don’t you have to have had a career Braggin about your rented lambourgini, making CD’s that only your mom would buy…. Boy you need to go to school get an education and make something of yourself, maybe you could be a good lawyer or doctor or something, but one thing we know you can’t do, RAP!!! and Urban Daily, run an article people would actually care about, like a dog born with 5 paws, instead of one that didn’t have a career to begin with… NEXT!!!!

Retirement get real he cant even rap to me………

hay bow wow its over on the music end u gotta find urself soulja boy got ur fan base on lock keep acting nigga

lol he saying retire like he been in the game for 50 years, lol bow wow is a mess. he gonna retire and change his name to something else and do a come back like all the rest of thm… go feed the hungry, give to the poor, do some something good with ur life for a change like “pray for the economy” lol…thy suck

Wow, you fake as motherf**kers do half the s**t that he has @ his age and then come talk….Keep your head up young man.

rofl…deelove u crazy!!!!

WELL, FIRST LET ME JUST SAY THAT I WOULD RATHER GO TO A MILLI VANILLI CONCERT THAN LISTEN TO HALF OF A BOW WOW CD….BUT I THINK THAT HE PROBLY IS JUST FOLLOWING JAY-Z IN THIS WHOLE RETIREMENT CRAP….WE AREN’T LUCKY ENOUGH FOR HIM TO REALLY MEAN IT. IT’S FUNNY THOUGH I SAW SOME KIDS ARGUING ABOUT WHO WAS MORE LYRICAL BOW OR SOULJA BOY…I ALMOST CRIED. WHEN I WAS YOUNG IT WAS KRS-ONE, RAKIM, AND YOU KNOW THE REST. POOR CHILDREN HAVE NOBODY TO LOOK UP TO THESE DAYS.

ahhh…. If only he would stay retired… he hasn’t come out with a song that I’ve ever liked… but best wishes to him and his life…

Hold On Wait arent you supposed to retire at the PEAK of your career NOT the ALL TIME LOW.

LOL@RETIRING HE’S NOT RETIRING
WHAT IS HE LIKE 22? HOW THE HELL YOU GONNA RETIRE AT 22
THIS IS A JOKE
I DON’T REALLY CARE EITHER WAY TO BE HONEST THOUGH

AND WHY ISN’T THE VIDEO WORKING FOR ME?

Bow Wow is not retiring. He is too talented and way too young to even think about retiring. He has the style and swagger. He is just the victim of unwanted publicity. He’s got these sick, pedeophilic, grown ass men in the media stalking him with their homoerotic fantasies of him. They post sick You Tube videos and stalk him. He doesn’t want that kind of attention and he doesn’t need it. He is doing what Hillary Clinton is doing after the sick sexist woman-hating men on CNN and MSNBC (Chris Matthews and Jack Caferty) couldn’t keep Hillary’s name out of their mouths without disrespecting her with sick sexist comments. Bow Wow should not retire. He is a talented young man. Unfortunately, people in this country can’t keep their sickness to themselves.

It’s really unfortunate that rap has come to this. I’ll give Soulja Boy his credit on the fact that he does sell records. However, it’s not like he’s going to be legend. I don’t think people will be talking about him 30 or 40 yrs from now. Bow Wow has made his mark on the industry. Yeah, maybe he doesn’t write his own music buy he has definitely made his mark. Soulja Boy has no substance in his music, and of course any record label would want him b/c he sells records. Yeah, I know that artists are in it to make money, however making your mark in the industry is important, as well. Bow Wow has made his mark and is a true veteran…..

the dude is wack anyways… who cares whether if he retires. i think this is jus a stunt to get ppl to listen to him.

He just trying to recollect is thoughs on some of the things that has happen in is life! He’ll be back Once he get back to the way he want to be!

BOW WOW Your not done man!

It’s that gayfish s**t right!

Was he ever really in the game like that for him “retiring” to be substantial at all? I’m just saying…

Bow Wow needs to regroup and come back with a great hit. I know he will. He needs positive people around him. The kid is actually talented, but at the end of the day he is still a kid. The media has been merciless to him and sometimes outright disrespectful. It is sickening. We can’t be doing that to our young black children. He is someone else’s baby. The media, and sad to say mainly the black media, has been treating Bow Wow with mild contempt and it is sad. Let the boy be an artist. He is very talented and he will sell records and entertain the young kids.

i agree with the person that says he’s a kid but he’s a paid kid and he dont have to rap no more. And he’s still have more money then anybody any of us knows. So the people that say he’s whack is whack cause that little boy can probably buy and sell they ass. STOP HATIN he did his thang

who cares let him go, he’ll be back when actually finds out that no cares, and he needs the attention again. i only hope he is for real, maybe he can convince some of these other wack ass rappers to go with him.

maybe he should retire,T.I. writes his lyrics and that makes T.I. look bad. he did the “face off” album with omarion(their version of best of both worlds) and that flopped. he tried to stir up beef with soulja boy,even tho to me bowwow is better,nobody was paying attention. he just dropped an album “new jack city” and that’s not selling either. also rumor has it that he’s with a tranny witch i wouldn’t be surprised if he is. he should hang it up but i doubt it will stay that way.

Sadly, he is done. He just needs to go find him an HBCU and go to school for a while like ruddie did and get some training in their music dept or theater and get credibility to move up to the next level. Remake himself so that he is not a copy. Omarieon needs to go back to tv cause he was cute there and acting is his thing.

THANK-GOD!!!! one-less WACK rapper to worry about…WE need more of them to leave,it’s becuz of dudes like Jermaine Dupri that bring young kids into the scene.

No Matter what he does, he will always be a KID-RAPPER.

The funny thing is that MEDIA kill his character,because it’s the truth. That’s what happens when you rock with Jermaine Dupri.

Food for thought…we calm him WACK bcuz it’s known fact.

Yes, he’s paid out of his RECTUM but he got paid to be a puppet rapper. So his respect as a RAPPER will never be saluted.

Now…alot of ya’ll gona have something ignorant to say but it’s the TRUTH.

me personally i like bow wow and we all watched him grow up to be a talented young man. everyone that is saying he is whack is just hating because when bow wow was ten he made more money than they have ever touched and now he got even more money then they could ever dream of. cause they know if they meet him or jermaine dupri they would be trying to get signed. everybody have their own opinions. but anyway i did not buy his albums but i respect him as a young person cause even though he have a lot of money he did not get crazy like these other rappers who let their money go to their heads and still wanted to act like they was in the streets. now he do need to go get a backup like go to college like sammie did. even if he is retiring at least he got out of the game before it was too late cause you do not know how long you is going to be hot. cause one min you hot and the next your not. well bow wow i respect your decision just hope you a good plan. you will always be welcome to come back look at jay-z.

I grew up wachin bow wow nd followed his career. he is a very talented young man. for those who sayin he wack he cant be that wack if makin more money than u.

well personally, i dont think ppl think he’s wack because of his lyrics,i think ppl dont f**k with him because of his c**ky attitude and the fact that he says too much!!fans definately respond to soulja boy more than bow wow,which is sad because bow wow been on since he was a baby and soulja boy hit the ground runnin with bow wow’s fan base.the only ppl that may attempt to listen to bow’s music are young females..actually,there are a few songs of his that i really do like..he needs to humble himself more tho..immitating jermaine is not going to get him very far.and as far as retiring goes..how many albums has he put out?? and what exactly would he be retiring from??to me retiring requires a lifetime of hard work.ten yrs or so doesnt qualify.i will say it again,he needs to humble himself cuz there is only two lil niggaz that can be c**ky and get away with it and thats W…y and T. figure it out,its a man down situation!! holla!!

money dont equal skills it just mean idiots like you have supported talented rappers such as this guy. i hope he sent you a thank you letter for helping him buy his mother a brand new house.

I think its for the best, he needs time to grow because many mature adults cant take him seriously because we do know him from his songs as a child. I wish him the best and hope he takes as much time thats needed

He can retire nowbut I’ll be expecting nothing short of a blazing comeback

personally,i dont give a flying f**k what he does lol.he aint coming out with nothing to buzz the music industry nor outside his fan base.you gotta give the people what they want and that goes for the people outside your fan base as well.

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

is it because his fan base stays @ 14 yrs old and under?….

Who gives a f**k!! Bye!!!

About time!

Who cares

enough respect boy
i m in your side
even we the west cost tak on s**t.i belive u know your
steps boy?

Is it retirement from the rap game or from Trannies???

[...] Wow, who has been selling records longer than Kiss, moved 30, 944 units of New Jack City II (and announced his retirement soon after). Then you have MIMS, another reasonably popular New York artist, sold 12,404 copies of his [...]

Da hell with bow wow…i used to like him back when he started but when he came here and dissed my neice and some other lil girls by not signing their autographs and makin them cry, he gets no love from me…anytime ur head gets too big that u don’t have time to sign autographs for the people that help make u what u are then u become nothing…u need to take ur tired ass somewhere and sit down! good riddance!

Rappers always say they gonna retire,but they always come back !!!

I thought you had to have reached a certain level in your craft first? How bow wow retire before lil wayne who are you to retire you havent did anything we dont respect you in the streets and the way you flaunt your cars and money shows how wack your music really is!!

WE CAN ALL EXPECT TO SEE BOW WOWs COMEBACK ONCE TI IS RELEASED FROM JAIL, THAT WAY HE CAN FINISH WRITING HIS WACK ASS SONGS FOR HIM… SINCE THIS NIGGA CANT SEEM TO WRITE HIS OWN MATERIAL AFTER 7 ALBUMS… SOULJA BOI SHOULD FOLLOW SUIT

well all im gonna say is i still got luv 4 dis lil dude…he’ll be back as they all do..but i’ll bet ppl will like better as an actor than they do as a rapper or whate ever…just like ppl do with LL cool J..Tyrese…Will smith and so on…so good look to u

MMMmmmm!I personally like Rihanna because she is iconic/in many ways talented/attractive among other things. On the other hand although I dont think Rihanna is a str8 lesbian-Gay. I do beleive the girl is either bi-sexual or bi-curious. Come to think of it, if she loves it both ways? That makes her even more intresting. Rihanna girl you are WANTEDDDD! The Bsharpp2 “Rihanna Shakee” video on myspace/youtube about Rihanna/Chris Brown/Janet Jackson/Etc (even Oprah is in it) brakak it down perfectly that Rihanna could very well be bi-sexual or bi-curious. Check it out!

i like the very 1st on when he talk about v carter arm in the net

He was ok to me on his first album, but he is wack now to me. He’ll be back though.

Good for him
