![]() ![]() "Big Dreams": A Much better track than the opening tack that features nice drum programming, a nice serious and believable rap from Bow Wow with a nice hook. "Do You": Bow Wow tries too hard to be older here, the production is ok with a nice choral effect in it. For the most part, Bow Wows raps tend to focus too much on his age, being grown up, and on cockiness. The production for the most part is fine, yet sometimes it sounds too much like the song before it, flawing the particular song. ![]() But, just like his R&B contemporaries Mario (18) and Omarion (20), they all try just a little too hard by adding adult references and "mainstreamed" CDs as I like to call them that don't feature the infamous PARENTAL ADVISORY label (Mario was the most successful in pulling off his CD). His constant use of the "n" word just goes to show you that Bow Wow tries a little too much to act grown up. On WANTED, Bow Wow tries to act older by cursing and using terminology such as "n****". Yet still, he can't just completely change his pop-rap style (which sometimes tends to be corny as a rap-style), which he is known for. Bow Wow, who was a child star rapper, is now in transition to becoming an adult rapper and so naturally, he must shed his young image and try to appeal as harder and edgier. Children stars really have a hard time being accepted as truly credible artists in the music industry. ![]()
