Bow Wow Puts “Underrated” On Hold, Says “Fuck That Album”

    Bow Wow has had his Young Money album Underrated in the can for a minute, but he’s temporarily shelving the album to focus more on performing live.

    Last night (August 15th), Bow Wow took to Twitter to air a few grievances, stating that he’s “doing everything on my own” anad that “when i win im thankn [sic] myself.”

    “Shit so fucked up maaan.. I swear. Im tryna stay focused but its like at this point ‘Fuck that album’ & Fuck a release date. Im doin shows…,” he wrote.

    Bow Wow previously revealed that Underrated would feature guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli and more, and that it would release on June 12th. Underrated is currently without a release date.

    1. Sound like he mad cause Birdman and Tunchi won’t hold his hand to the radio station. Ahp the fuck well ((Listens to Gza Liquid Swords))

    2. He should’ve just stuck to his guns and let “New Jack City 2” be his last album. Stick to doing movies.

      1. Bow Wow didn’t even break 20k on first week sales with his last album, and that was back in 09 when hip hop was starving for some decent artists. Now we actually have some decent new school rappers, there’s now way Bow Wow’s selling more than KRIT, the only good bars that dude ever spit were written by Jermaine Dupri & T.I

    3. BOW WOW you better wake the fuck up! I will trade places with your RICH ass if you think you haven’t made it or have it made.

    4. Birdman got his ass on ice cause he can’t come up with a hot single to push the album plain and simple. Now i’m figuring he wants out of his deal with YMCMB.

    5. Isn’t this the same cat who was yellin, “cash money” on every “freestyle” released since he signed.

      Hows that deal working out for you? What percentage they taking from your shows?

      “Tell promoters in advance its a hundred thou to book me” – bow wow …. RIGHT!!!!!

    6. LOL @ at least he can feed his fam,

      apparently hes a dead beat dad who seen his daughter like 6 times in years

    7. If you want that album to come out you better gets some knee pads..lol. We know how baby and wayne get down.

      Case Closed

    8. fuck all u haters on here. laugh all you want but he’s still making more money than your broke asses. come talk when you release an album or sell out a show. do you bow!

      1. @youngsta ever get the impression everybody doesn’t want to be a rapper and just may have a pretty descent life that is not tied to a contract. And how do you how much money people have on here, you know everybody checking account number or bank branch.

      2. I think this is You Bow Wow! Standing up for yourself, how cute! Wack ass rapper. Your not bankable anymore fool, retire your wack ass! Cash money doesn’t need you to sell records, they just wanted to give you another 15 min of fame before they burried your ass into ground!

    9. lol so he really thought he was gettin a release date soon? nigga thought coach birdman was gon bench wayne drake or nicki so he could get in the game. lol i guess he said if tyga got one i know i can

      1. Dude, I dont understand why you are doing this ja rule trolling, but it is indeed hilarious. Keep it up! Ja rule for president 2012!

        On a side note, I read somewhere that Ja Rule actually was the person who created hip hop back in 1972. I heard he also invented the cell phone and was the first musician to sell 200 million albums in one week.

      2. Ain’t doin’ trollin’ son! This is just a setting for Ja Rule’s big comeback when he gets outta jail in December! 50 cent’s videos gettin’ trolled bad (I’ll get you that, we trollin’ the enemy) and he turned off the ratings, not to mention these Ja Rule comments will take over the internet and other rap sites.

      3. This week it’s funny, 2 weeks from now they will turn on you and sh_t on your existence. Good luck with that.

    10. I agree with a nigga few posts down.

      JA RULE FOR PRESIDENT.

      Also, Bow Wow, you need some Ja Rule in yo life nigga

    11. I forgot this little N-word still alive i have a hard time believing this midget is selling out shows

    12. Guess he realize he is just a tax write off for YMCMB. This dude is slowly becomming the Gary Coleman of the hip hop industry…child star who can’t handle the fact they he is not as hot as an adult. In hot I mean musically and relevent. YOu can tell as an artist Bow Wow still has not found himself…he is constantly trying to sound like who ever is hot at the present moment. When Souljah boy was hot…he tried to sound like him….lil wayne is hot..he tried to sound like him….when Ti was at his peak..he tried to sound like him…and so forth

      1. “YOu can tell as an artist Bow Wow still has not found himself…he is constantly trying to sound like who ever is hot at the present moment. When Souljah boy was hot…he tried to sound like him….lil wayne is hot..he tried to sound like him….when Ti was at his peak..he tried to sound like him…and so forth”

        So True.

      2. exactly, now he’s tryng to sound like tyga
        lol he sounds like a spoiled brat. the consequences of having everything handed to him. and now that he has to make music on ur own his own his inefficiency is glaring for the whole world to see.

    13. Thats why I gotta give it to TYGA cus he aint the best but he work hard at building his own fan base, radio singles, etc. He didnt way on wayne and them to make him pop. He aint the best but he did sell almost $300k. thats pretty significant when you think that he proly didnt get much help from wayne outside of a co-sign and ymcmb brand name. plus people in L.A. fuck with tyga even though many people outside of here dont.

      Problem for Bow is he doesnt have a region or coast to fall back on… And his music sucks. I guess it used to be atlanta but they guy is the Military Brat of hip hop!!

      1. $300k of what little man? Listen radio spins are paid for so yes he did get backing from Wayne and Baby. The difference between Bow & Tyga is Bow already has what Tyga is wanting right now. If you have a couple of hit songs that people remember you will always be able to get some money, and Bow has that with movie roles that he gets paid for every time it’s shown on TV. Don’t believe in that knucklehead talk.

      2. U don’t have two songs hit number 1 on 106 and park without a fanbase. U tellin me Bow Wow can’t sell more then Tyga? Problem is Baby and Slim scared since Nicki not plat. Bow Wow could be in Cory Gunz or Jaez Millz shoes!

    14. “Bow has that with movie roles that he gets paid for every time it’s shown on TV”

      BET doesn’t count.

    15. Music is going back to how it used to be. Artist make their money touring and promoting their own shit. DIY. The lazy motherfuckers are going to get canned and forgotten. Shit like what is happening to bow wow is just the beginning. There are going to be even more shitty artists following the same suit. If you are good then your you have fans that will stand behind your work. If you suck then no one is going to support you.

      Artists who have talent could really give a shit about how much they sell on a scripted billboard chart. The ones who have talent are selling concert tickets. The record labels don’t get very much from that. Bow should take a hint. Stop being lazy and promote his own shit. Soon enough cash money and its faggot crew are going to fold. They are a trend and don’t have any talent. You can say Lil wayne sold 1 million albums….okay. How much did he do on tour. That will tell you something. People keep thinking the artist that are selling albums are making money. Bull fucking shit. The artist that are selling tickets are making the money.

      Wake up.

      1. I knew this shit from day 1, but the problem is that these brain washed idiots keep swallowing the bullshit that the media feeds them.

      2. So I guess both of u niggaz been living under a rock and never heard of I Am Music and I Am Still music tours that went all over the U.S.

    16. IT WOULD STILL SELL MORE THAN BIG KRIT OR PRODIGY

      BUT WE DONT HOLD HANDS AT YMCMB

      BOW WOW STILL GETTING MORE MONEY THAN KRIT TOO

    17. LMFAO. That album is 9th on everyones list….of albums that should never come out. This dude stay losing! If you are selling out shows, you must be playing the cash register section of McDonalds cuz ain’t nobody checking for you or your wack ass crew. If it does come out, it will go double copper, so maybe its a sign that you should stop.

    18. damn finally this dumb nigga gets it….i never heard one of my boys say “you hear that new bow wow!” LOL…nigga u got no fans and your music sucks

    19. bow wow gets a pass because Like Mike was cool as shit when I was a kid. so i will refrain from reiterating what horrible rapper he is

    20. why should anyone be surprised about this, unless you lil wayne, that skank nikki minaj, or that bisexual ass drake your not releasing any music no time soon…look at J millz, at the time of his height he was one of the dopest MCs out…look at busta rhymes he signed to them and he aint doing nothing…am I missing anybody….bow wows best bet would have been to go the independent route

    21. I actually don’t think your underrated I think you right where you should be, You got waaaay to big of a head over the years and everyone got sick of you and got sick of working with you. Now I will give you a little props for wanted to do it yourself. You know the old addid “If you want things done right then do it yourself”. Good luck but I think you ran out of continues in this game, but hey there’s a still a chance that you can prove me wrong..but ah I doubt it.

    22. Really? Dumbazz, you should have known that as soon as you read the contract that said “Cash Money” at the bottom.

    23. Bow Wow please, the album is on the shelf because you’re wack. You try to sound hard when you’re not and your rhyming skills, such as they are, are weak. You jumped on to Young Money because they’re hot right, but you’re not a bankable artist. And you may get some shows but you don’t have any hot new material (or old material for that matter), so you won’t make much money. Get out of the rap game and stick to the movies; you get more bread that way.

    24. When you’re trash as an artist, then you have the difficulties Bow Wow is having. Face it Bow Wow, you are a wack rapper; stick to the movies, you’ll make more money that way.
