I think it's cool that these kids like Lil' Bow Wow and Lil' Romeo are in the music industry and all. I just hate what they're rapping about. I mean, they're rapping about "grown women who wanna be my wife, and wanna be in my life..." etc etc etc etc. These 11 year olds have no idea what they're talking about. I wish they would rap about, maybe life in grammar school, or maybe beginning puberty, or maybe they're favorite cartoons. Just hearing them rap about women irritates me to the fullest. Had to let that out. Any opinions? ------------------
I agree It is BS to me . . the worse part is there are like 20 something year old women swooning for them because they got money I remember on kid . . he was with Erick Sermon He was rapping back in the day . . . He was talking about f*ckin' a 26 yr old when he was 11 and on tour . . . . The Life. . . .huh Rocket River ------------------
Fo'Sho', its all good, know what I'm sayin'? Let a little homie get his, know what I'm sayin'? Its better than slangin' dope, know what I'm saying? But seriously, it really is all good. If they can flow, let 'em go! ------------------ "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and you suck forever."
Uuuuuungggghh... Romeo's dad is... uuuuuuunnngggh... nana na naaaa.. Master P... ya heard? Just look at the people they hang around and that ought to give you a clue as to why they act the way they do. The lyrics to the song say his "uncles" are Silkk and C Murder. lol... and ya wonder why they act the way they do... ------------------ "I had mine chewed off by a boss one time." -- Behad leaves us wondering if he gets hazard pay...

Anyone remember CHI ALI? I think Black Sheep produced him, if I'm not mistaken. Man that kid was great! Then his voice changed and it was all over! Oh, then he bcame a murderer and it was really all over! In the early 90's, young rappers were all the rage. You could throw a rock from a tall office building and hit some random kiddie-rap group. Kriss Kross enjoyed the most commercial success, but groups like Illegal, Da Youngsta's, and Quo had their share of hit singles and long-forgotten LP's. However, out of this glut of young talent, a solo young rapper named Chi-Ali made a name for himself. Of all the pre-pubescent hip-hoppers, Chi-Ali seemed to have the most solid foundation. Debuting in 1991, he was affiliated with the Native Tongues family, which was at its peak, encompassing De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, and Black Sheep. Chi-Ali turned a few heads with his verses on Black Sheep's debut LP, but few knew what to expect from the 13-year-old rapper. Then the mega-hit "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number" dropped. The Mr. Lawnge-produced "Age Ain't…" single blew up overnight. Chi's lyrics about macking older women paired with Lawnge's typically fat beat made this an overnight success. Chi seemed prepared for stardom as he warned all potential goldiggers "Stay out of my pocket and everything will be splendid/I make my money, so I will spend it." Next up was an LP from hip-hop's flavor of the month. "The Fabulous Chi-Ali" full-length dropped spring 1992, and was notable for two reasons: first, it would be the only LP Chi-Ali would ever release, and secondly, it marked the debut of the Beatnuts as a dominant production force. The highlights of "The Fabulous" are simple: the Beatnuts provide a hot beat, and Chi-Ali spits some hilariously high-pitched lyrics. Check out "Maniac Psycho" where Chi is a "14 year old lord on a skateboard/strangling suckers with mic chords" or the bordering-on-illegal ode to preteen sex on "In My Room." In fact, the Beatnuts don't drop a subpar track on here; from the slow thump of "Check My Record" to the spacey funk of "Roadrunner," the beats make Chi's squeaky lyrics tolerable. The standout of this album is easily "Let the Horns Blow," where Chi, Dove, Phife Dawg, and Fashion represent over a sinister groove. The experienced Native Toungers run laps around Chi-Ali, exposing the lyrical limitations of this LP. However, this song produced two additional hit singles, "Roadrunner" and "Funky Lemonade" (and 12" remixes by A Tribe Called Quest and the Beatnuts, respectively) which seemed to bode well for Chi. But these singles were the last songs ever to be released by Chi-Ali. Like many groups, Chi was never able to release a follow-up LP. The rap world moved on, and people weren't checking for Chi-Ali's style anymore. Unfortunately, Chi's personal fortunes followed his rap career. After a series of dead-end jobs, Chi-Ali is accused of murdering a man in the Bronx in a dispute over $300 on February 14th, 2000. It's hard to believe Chi-Ali, dancing happily in his videos, would end up a murderer. But before he joined Steady B as the butt of many jokes, Chi dropped a solid album, gained the adoration of thousands of preteen girls, and helped put the Beatnuts on. Ultimately, the latter was his greatest contribution to hip-hop. ------------------ "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and you suck forever."

I hate these kid rappers. They have no skills and they have no experiences to rap about. Plus, Lil Bow Wow comes across as being one of the most arrogant people east of Shaq, and he's only 14. I also hate the fact that girls and even young women drool over these little kids. It's disgusting what money does to some women. ------------------
Who was watching Teenobananza or whatever the hell that show was called tonight on FOX? Lil Bow Wow came on and all those damn teeny boppers went nuts. I just wanted to jump into the TV and slap Lil Bow Wow and his homie on the stage, and all those little girls screaming for him. ------------------
More power to 'em. If some stupid ho is going to "bend over" for 'em.... ------------------ Anger is a weed. Hate is a tree.
Chi-Ali, yes...find his song "Roadrunner" on iMesh or Morpheus or something...damn that kid was good! ------------------ "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and you suck forever."
Lil Bow Wow is cool, though, and he's got BBall game. Saw him on MTV playing against Steve and Cat last year. It was funny, but he is an arrogant little P****. By the time he's 18, he'll be telling people he used to be Lil BowWow. ------------------ Some days you eat the bear. Some days the bear eats you.
Chi-Ali. That name sounds familiar? I heard it on TV? America's Most Wanted or something... ------------------
I believe I was correct, no? http://www.americasmostwanted.com/site/thisweek/20001104/griffithchiali20001104.html ------------------
How about that idiot that is little bow wow's sidekick. He has got to be the most obvious coattail rider this side of Snottie Quitten and Phil Jackass. ------------------ What's a Nubian?
Life in grammar school? puberty? I don't know...Hearing some kid rap about failing a math test or discovering his pubic hair for the first time just doesn't interest me that much... What happened to the great musical acts like Wilson Phillips or those dogs that barked "Jingle Bells"? ------------------ If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding!!
OH My GAWSH! Thats him! If you see him call the number! ------------------ "Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and you suck forever."

If you mean Jurmaine Dupri, he's not riding Lil Bow Wow's coattails. If it wasn't for him, there would be no lil bow wow. ------------------
