“I wanna be a muthaf**kin' hustla!" Those were the opening words on Snoop’s classic, Doggystyle and they were voiced by a then eight-year-old Lil” Bow Wow. Strange hearing those curse words from a youngster’s mouth, but 14 years later, Bow Wow is now old enough to talk any way he wishes.Dreams of being a hustler have come true for “Mr. 106 & Park” who not only has the ladies going wild, but has opened his own shoe chain, Prestigious with two stores in Atlanta and is in the process of owning a McDonald’s franchise at 20 years old. Throw in his Homeboyz series, set to debut this month on MTV and the network might have a Black version of Entourage in a cartoon form. The braids are gone, the material has grown, and he’s gone through his first year of being in the tabloids. The Price of Fame is a true album title for Bow Wow, as the boy-turned grown man sees the scrutiny of growing up in the Hip-Hop eye. However, Bow Wow is still here, and he’s got something that grandmothers and Young Jeezy all respect.
