Bow Wow Wants Respect

A Rocky Williform Company

Bow Wow continues to make himself harder and harder to root for. First off, he named his European tour "Underrated," which is just laaaaaaame, and now he's popping off to MTV about (you guessed it) being underrated and how no one respects his track record.

"I feel like a lot of dudes who get recognition in the game," Bow Wow said. "I’ve been doing it longer than them and I think people are stuck in the right now, that they forget about the past and that’s one thing that I don’t do. That’s a discredit to somebody’s past and especially their numbers, because like J (Jay-Z) said: ‘They don’t lie, stats don’t lie.’ I just get tired of that sometimes, when you work so hard and you’re passionate about what you do, you want to get acknowledged for it. Other than Eminem and Jay-Z, I can’t tell you another rapper who has sold out Madison Square Garden five times, besides me! I’m in that bracket, but people won’t say that because they are so caught up with the past and Lil’ Bow Wow and are not focused on the current."

Can we PUH-LEEZE stop acting like sales numbers and tour numbers imply that an artist isn't wack? Especially if that artist is Bow Wow?
