In a recent interview with MTV, Bow Wow spoke about possibility retiring from the rap game in the near-future:"I wanna be the next Will Smith," the 21-year-old recently said, restating his growing passion for acting while sitting poolside at L.A.'s Le Montrose Suite Hotel. "After the eighth album, I'm done. I already feel it. I love acting. I love my music like I said, but I feel it. After this one, probably one more in me and that's eight. Like, I'm one [album] behind Nas, and that's crazy."
LP number seven comes out later this year. It's called The Pedigree.
Reading this, you'd think he'd sold albums by the truckload or was held in any kind of critical regard. Unfortunately for Shad, none of these apply lol. I'm guessing it's more the fact that next to no one is checking for him on the music tip anymore, so acting is his new 'passion'. That said, I can't down him on this one; get in where you fit in, I say.
Any thoughts?

Bow Wow and Omarion stopped by MTV's TRL in New York today to promote their forthcoming collabo album 'Face Off'. Call me a hater or whatever, but I doubt the CD will be saying much. I felt their collabo on 'Let Me Hold You' to be pretty underwhelming. What's more, neither have proved their worth as solo stars; with their recent albums just scrapping Gold status. I'm guessing this joint project is just a way of ensuring each of their fan-bases buy it - hence equalling larger sales overall.
