Bow Wow says he’s going to do two more albums and then retire from rap. He wants to do films and recently said: “I wanna be the next Will Smith,” during a poolside interview at L.A.’s Le Montrose Suite Hotel.
He went on:
“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.”
His 7th album “The Pedigree” is due out later this year and he says: “It’s funny because everybody always wants to talk about, you know, ‘Bow Wow doesn’t curse. He’s clean,’ which is true,” he explained. “I think a lot of people that are jumping on Bow Wow now are new people, and if you listen to my first album, I was being bad on my first album. Being that that’s the first album, a lot of people probably didn’t catch on then. But I was already saying words at 13 that I probably shouldn’t be saying. If you go back and listen to my first album, every song is bleeped out. You’ll notice words that are being bleeped out. Now it’s really nothing, and I’m looking at y’all like, ‘What’s the big fuss about?’ Like I said, that’s just me being me. I’m not saying that my album is profane. I still gotta remember about the little kids. “It’s kinda tough to walk it,” he adds sharing his thoughts about walking the line between being a grown-up and still appealing to the younger set: “I still have the younger generation. The younger kids look up to me. Then again, I have that other fanbase who was with me from the jump who are now adults too. And it’s almost like I gotta cater to both, but if I miss one of ‘em, they’ll go find that other person to fill that slot.”
Poor baby. He’s trying to tell us all he’s all grown up and wants to flex on stage and be taken seriously as an actor. He just filmed some scenes for an episode of Entourage where he plays a comedian and has to get naked and lay down with a porn star… should be interesting! He had this to say about his experience which will air in September:
“I know the girls, they’re going to go crazy when they see it,” he said of his appearance on the HBO series. “The ladies are gonna go crazy when they see Bow Wow’s first sex scene. It’s crazy ’cause for me, it was normal. It was normal, but I know when I look back at it, when I see it, I’m gonna be like, ‘Damn! Look at this. This is crazy!’ I stun myself sometimes, I can’t even front. “It was with a porn star. I don’t know her name,” he said of the actress. “She probably watching this like, ‘What?! I did a scene with him, and he doesn’t remember my name?!’ Nah, I don’t remember her name, but she was bad though. She was baaaaad! I was cool. I was comfortable with it. I was definitely comfortable with it. It is what it is — normal stuff that happens.”
Within four hours of the announcement that his controversial, politically charged ninth album was number one in the country, Nas was standing on a small podium in front of Fox News headquarters in New York City protesting what he views as racist attacks against Black Americans and presidential candidate Barack Obama.
In a brief prepared statement, Nas said this:
“Fox poisons this country every time they air racist propaganda and try to call it news. This should outrage every American that Fox uses hateful language to talk about the person that may be the first black president.”
Nas gave examples of what he and ColorOfChange see as a long racist smear campaign against the Obama family and they were as follows:
–The onscreen graphic that referred to Michelle Obama as the Senator’s “baby mama”
– Bill O’Reilly sarcastically using the phrase “lynching party” to refer to attacks on the Senator’s wife — Referencing on how Obama and his wife’s fist thump each other by commenting it to be a “terrorist fist jab.”
He stood beside 19 neatly stacked cardboard boxes, with the number 620,127 taped to the side of each one — indicating that over 600,000 signatures gathered by ColorOfChange are demanding that network president Roger Ailes “find a solution to address racial stereotyping and hate-mongering before it hits the airwaves.”
Fox rejected the petitions, but Brave New Films says that Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report will accept them instead.
ColorOfChange contacted Nas after seeing the lyrics to “Sly Fox” posted on the Brave New Films website. “We looked at it and said, ‘This is exactly what we’re talking about,’” ColorOfChange deputy director Andre Banks told Rolling Stone. Just two weeks later, Nas was here speaking to fans, protesters and press spilling out into 6th Avenue, some even holding homemade signs markered with lyrics from the song.
When asked what his response to “Sly Fox,” was Nas said: “Nah, they’re scared of me.”
Pete Doherty received a suspended jail sentence yesterday for possession of drugs relating to his arrest in May.
Police had found a number of substances such as crack, heroine, ketamine and cannabis – on him and in his Jaguar in Kensington, West London. Doherty also plead guilty subsequently to a number of driving offenses. At a West London Magistrates’ Court on Thursday he was given a four-month custodial sentence, suspended for two years. He was also given an 18-month supervision order and a 12-month drug rehabilitation order by Davinder Lachhar, the district judge. She also ordered that Doherty pay a £400 fine for driving with no insurance and a £75 fine for having no MoT certificate.
About Doherty’s attempt at rehab Judge Lachhar said: “You have made strides and I hope you will continue to do so. I would hate to see you go backwards.â€
He left court to a chorus of cheers from his fans, who had packed the public gallery.
Pete Doherty’s cats are addicted to cocaine! I guess he leaves it lying around the house. This guy really needs to be put in jail for the rest of his life. I don’t think their is any rehab out their that will cure him.
An RSPCA rep told the Daily Star, “It is a police matter, so we cannot deny or confirm the identity of the man who had this kitten removed. But it is very important to protect animals from substances that can do them serious harm.”
Oh and he named his cat “Dinger” a slang term used for syringe! What a sick f*ck!
