- Insta @lilbowwowclub - Shad Gregory Moss a.k.a. Lil' Bow Wow at the Arsenio Hall Show in 1993. A story of a six-year-old who made it till these days...
Snoop was coming to Columbus. Shad begged his mom to take him to the concert. Along with former NWA member Dr. Dre, Snoop was promoting The Chronic Tour. Named after Snoop's latest album, a celebration of a protent form of the illegal drug marijuanna, The Chronic Tour wasn't a place most parents would consider taking their six-year-old.
Then again, Theresa wasn't most parents. She took Shad everywhere. During a pause in the show, the announcer's voice carried over the crowd. Did anyone to come up and rap? Shad's hand shot up. That moment, his life changed.
The crowd began to cheer. Shad felt himself being lifted up - over his mother's head, over the heads of the fans. Suddenly he was on stage. Looking out into the audience, he saw the thousands of people there for his heroes, for Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. Now they were all waiting, waiting for him.
During a break between sets for musicians, fans were asked if they wanted to get up on stage and rap. Most of them weren't very good. So when Shad approached the microphone, nobody was expecting much.
They were about to be surprised. He wasn't very nervous. He'd done this before, at local talent shows and in his living room. Now it was Shad's time to shine.
By that evening in 1993, Shad was ready. He freestyled, making up the rhymes as he went along. Soon the audience began to clap, keeping the beat set by the kid with the microphone. After his set, Shad was rushed backstage. The headliner wanted to meet him.
Snoop had heard Shad's performance. He was impressed. Until then Shad's stage name had been Kid Gangsta. Backstage the older hip-hop star looked at Shad and saw something familiar. He saw the same energy, the same stage confidence, and the same skills he had.
He looked at Shad and gave him a new name; Lil' Bow Wow. Snoop had just one question for the new kid: Would he like to join the tour? Theresa agreed.
For the rest of the summer, Shad (now known as Lil' Bow Wow) played before packed stadiums. When the summer ended, so did the tour. It was time to go back to school and play with kids his age. Except Shad still wanted to rap. He wasnted to follow in the footsteps of his hero Snoop Dogg. Soon he'd follow him all the way to Death Row.
Finally, Shad got the call he'd been waiting for. Snoop Dogg wanted him to record a song for his next album 'Doggystyle'. With luck, maybe he could sign a contract with the label Snoop performed for, Death Row Records.
For Shad, rapping on Snoop's album was a word apart from freestyling on stage. He had to memorize someone else's words, and them say them again and again, perfectly. This wasn't easy. ''I was in the studio with Snoop, and he had written something for me,'' Shad explained to Billboard.com. ''I really couldn't get it. They were yelling at me and I did't like. I wanted to quit. I went back home and studied that rap. I went back the next day and showed them I could do it.''
Los Angeles gave Shad more than just recording experience. Another Ohio native gave Lil' Bow Wow his next big break. At the time, Arsenio Hall hosted on of the most popular talk shows on late-night television.
When Shad performed, he was seen by millions. People were beginning to recognize his name. This is where it all started. The rest is history... - Hudba
On national TV Bow Wow like 5 yrs old talkin bout a nigga tryna do me in 🤣😭
Yeah he goated for this one 😂
I was like is he saying "nigga"? Just all freely!😂
He looks like he’s 3 years old 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 .
He was probably like 5 or 6.

3 decades in. That boy deserve a lifetime achievement award.
He really does
Facts
Naw
@@brentad2004actually yes. be quiet lil bro 🤫
@@rance783He does not. Take his Johnson out of your mouth.
I honestly think that we don't give him enough credit that he actually deserve..
It's sad and stupid
A lot of bitter and jealous people in this world but just like Usher and Chris Brown...his own ego trips backfired to the point where he was a punchline for random jokes but the work he put in at a early age basically ended in accomplishments that most entertainers in their late teens to mid 20's ...dream about now!
Who managed his money working all these years he should be rich rich not just trying to maintain
Exactly
he doesn't even write his own bars lol
The had to get bow wow off stage quick before he said too much more 🤣🤣🤣
Damn. Its 2023. Bow Wow is 36 now and has been rapping for over 30 years 😂
Bow Wow has earned his dues. The industry better put some #respeck to his name.
Bow Wow better put some respekk on HIMSELF and get his head and career back right! He put in the work in his youth and he was flying in acting and somehow JUMPED out the aircraft mid flight!
For real

Birdman might wanna speak with you sir !

Factz
You can tell he was a protégé of snoop back then he had Cali swag written all over him😂😂😂
Yes and he`s from Columbus, Ohio
He actually moved like Snoop but his rhyme pattern had Kurupt written all over it. Straight Dogg Pound.
in Nigeria at the time, we thought he sounded like Jamal and illegal from EPMD .
Snoop brought him to jd..he grew up around them.. Lol

THIS IS WHY BOW SHOULD GET HIS ROSES!!! HE Knew How To Work The Crowd Hold His Mic And The Delivery! Give This Man Credit!
But damn sure did not write his own lyrics.
@@houseofpets1572 He was a kid. How do u expect a child to write their own rhymes that young.
@@youngm.a.r.s2614 that is why his ass should had stayed in school.
@@houseofpets1572 it wasn't his fault his mom wanted him to be in the industry so young🤷🏾♂️. Apparently her, Snoop & JD saw something in him to make him become a star.
Uncle Snoop taught him that, uncle Arsenio had to stop that.
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 lil nigga got snatched up
LMAO
The good uncle and bad uncle at the family reunion
Legend has it, he hasn’t grew since
He just kept dropping the word “ninja” like it was cool.....I know Arsenio was like “”oh s**t”😂😂😂 probably why he carried him off the stage!!!
He was like shiit,who the fuck wrote these damn lines🤣🤣
damn ..I wasn't sure I was hearing right ....geesh ....

😂 you doing too much now 👉🏾🤡
I truly believe that social media and reality shows bring out of the worst in the celebs we once thought good of. Bow Wow really has always been on his A game & deserves his props!
This was recommended randomly but 😭😂🤣
Right
The way Arsenio picked him up at the end. 🤣
Yoooo I died I’m like nooo he didn’t just grab his little bitty self like that 🤣
@@sungaze342 for real!!!😆
😂
Cause he was cussing he didn’t want to get fined by the fcc back then the other networks hated him because he was kicking they late night Host azz
Epic ❣️ I love how u can scoop up lil ones like that 🙌🏼🥰🙌🏼
Ain’t nothing like a 90s Bass Line !!!
RIIIGHT. *DOOOOOOOON...DOONDOONDOOOOOON...DOOONDOOONDOOON....HUUUMMMMMMMM*. If you don’t get it just forget it
Those basslines were the foundation of most 90's hip hop songs.
Bow wow been popping since he came out the womb !! Longevity is his name !!😘💯
Arsenio was like, "U finna get my ass fined, lil' boy, up there cussin' like that"!!!
He rapping tight but lyrics not for a kid.
Definitely not. Like WTH??!!!
That’s why JD had to tone him down to be more relatable to kids his age.
poisoning the kids at an early age.
@@spippins01 True
a century of black music he’s probably seen more than what he should’ve at that at
Damn he was rapping better at 6
YEP BUT HE NEVER DEVELOPED THE SKILL TO WRITE
Da brat was writing his music
@@youniggasgoofys4840 IN WHICH AT THE END IT DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR HIM
@@youniggasgoofys4840 CORRECTION SHE'S A MULTI PLATINUM ARTIST...FAME AIN'T NOTHING WITHOUT THE FORTUNE...HE BARELY MADE A SPLASH...HE SHOULD'VE SET HIS GOALS HIGHER
@@Sir-Kay but what he’s saying is FACTS sorry to say WHEN HE WAS RAPPING THEY WAS GETTING PAID he was just getting handouts basically GOOD HANDOUTS at that bekause of HOW MUCH HE WAS WORTH it was enough FOR THEM TO GET PAID AND HIM TO BE HAPPY
classic bow wow a legend fr no matter how much ppl hate on him.
He snatched him up expeditiously🤣😆😅
He a lowkey legend
And he was crisp and clear…at that age That’s talent
Lmfao he used more profanity when he was 6 than he does now.
Fun fact: Suge knight was the one who bought Bow Wow to arsenio hall he was with death row at this time
Bow wow was so cute and talented . He's been around for a min! Worked with a lot of influential people! I'm sure he could still make some more hits...if he wanted too!!!
Bow Wow gives a damn good performance. He let everybody know on Veruses that he is an all around artist. Great stage persona
Hate on him If you want but he's a living legend. None of y'all would have been able to be around Snoop Dogg or DPG back in those days. I give him props for not growing up to be a statistic. Snoop Dogg kept It real and gave him to JD so he didn't lead him down a path of destruction so Snoop a real one for that. This world is full of unappreciated people who will love you while you are popular and young but when you grow up and become mature now the jokes come. Bow Wow a real one and exceeded past alot of kids who came up during his time. 💯
I’m glad JD got him snoop & knew how to develop him correctly because him cussing at 6 was all bad
Lmao thats because he was with death row kurupt wrote his first rap
Thank you My Brother....Amen! I made a Comment about that. That was kind of Scary!!!
His parents soild him out.
Homeboy Snoop TOOK him to Jermaine Dupree bcuz He didn’t kno what to do with Him.See what you have to understand is Snoop himself had just came out in 1990 introduced by Dre and he BLEW ⬆️ quick He really didn’t have time to hone in on Him and mold Him into something other than a Lil Gangster rapper
He was a cute adorable kid
May God Bless and lead this young man in the right direction 🙏
If you don’t think Bow Wow is a legend, here’s some proof:
This my first time seeing this Wow, Outstanding Performance by Bow Wow, back then I graduated from Highschool in 1993 and Bow Wow seems ahead of his time.
Watching this a day before his birthday . You deserve more flowers than you get my first and only celeb crush ❤️💐💐
We forget he was an actual rap prodigy. Wow!
Bow wow deserves his flowers 💐
The way he took bow at the was like get your ass over there boy 🤣🤣😂
You would think cause he started out that young, he would be one if the best rappers alive right now. I thought I was tripping when I heard him cursing.
@James Brown actually Wayne first cussed on record at age 15 with the song titled "Fuck The World".
He's still a very good rapper (especially if you saw VERZUZ last night....he still got it). Bow is underrated. He's very talented and has had a better career than most rappers. People just like to clown him but he's definitely a rap icon. The cussing here did trip me out a bit as well though. Too young for that. Glad JD had him tone it down when he signed him later on.
Cause jd toned him down
He would be one of the best rappers unfortunately for him people wrote most of his songs and his versus. By the time he started using his own pen he was lil Wayne’s son…Sounding just like him
@@Kemetblack90 But it's normal for teenagers to curse lol
WHAT A FREAKING CUTIE! I can't take the cuteness!
Wow! The youngest old head in the rap game.
Man his baby boy look just like him.....He really has been doing it along time....Well done Sir.
The legendary Bow Wow was making moves when Nas, 2pac, Mobb Deep, Jazy and many more were still underground trying to make it. He did it before Eminem, 50cent and Many more rappers that claim to be kings right now
True
Yeah “Jazy” must be your favorite rapper uh?...
@@chrish8016 he is one of them
@@siyanomagqwathekane3581 I think the spelling you are looking for is “Jay-Z” my friend...
@@chrish8016 lol yeah that 1
Now that shit dope to still be alive and watch shit you did as a kid .grown man shit 💯
Wow the way he carried him at the end 😂😂😂❤️
How he picked Bow Wow up at the end tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bow wow is a legend! Hate him or love but none has ever come thus far, Respek🤜🤛
Underrated! This man is special and should be treated like the gem he has been! Give Bow his roses!!!
Lil mini Snoop & Da Brat rolled into one...... Arsenio Was the bomb show back in day ,had everybody on that the other shows wouldn't bring on.
Same year as Snoops 1st Album Doggystyle. Damn Bow. #Legend
Bow Wow a legend!!!
Bow wow had some major West Coast gangsta swag back then
Being around Snoop I'm sure he looked up to him and snoop dogg's swag and mannerisms came out of him naturally
Listen y’all can joke on him all y’all want but he is a young legend. He really was out there making moves and was the kid that collared with damn near everybody until he held his own. Him, brat, JD and occasionally MC THE DREAM TEAM. Stop playing with him. After that, Soulja boy took over and was the first one to make going viral look cool. Everyone started going on CZcams looking for that man’s songs, to learn the dance to it . He had a whole website and personal phone number dedicated to his fans that went viral with him. Give that man his flowers too. Everyone wanna joke until it’s time to look at the facts.
And the lie detector test says...... your telling the truth
Love the way Arsenio pulled him off stage 😂
In 1993 I was 7 wow just enjoying what am seeing, Bow wow the young Legend
No body predicted how this early fame would negatively impact his life later. Let kids be kids
How did it affect him negatively? Bow Wow is doing better than most child stars. You don't hear about him being on drugs or in trouble with the law. He's still out here making movies (he's in the latest fast and furious movie), touring and makes an occasional song here and there. He also is a producer on We TV's "Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta" and has his own online merchandise line. He also has two kids and seems to be a good father. Sometimes he does some silly, try hard stuff on social media but it's harmless really. I don't see what's so bad about Bow Wow's life. He seems to be doing just fine. He could be doing a lot worse.
@@Keezie27 that was a very good point you man.
@@Keezie27 he actually was depressed af. He said it himself he grew up fast and wasn’t able to really be a kid like he wish he coulda.
Boy had swag even in his early days.
Regardless to how he's been trending lately... there was a time when BOW WOW lit shit up! He was doing it for a long time.
ya.. DeathRow had him trained.. "Say nxgga right when you start" lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bow been doing thing Bruh he’s my age and he’s was out during the golden age of hip hop crazy this man deserves more respect 💯
Arsenio eye must've grew big when he heard bow wow saying ni88a and f**k! lol 0,0 he was like oh no i gotta grab this kid lol
Wait I thought I heard n-
Lol he wanted to be like snoop Dogg so bad too. I'm glad he never went down that path.
@Lady Bella del Ray, at least 3 times...
@@theonlyladybella44480 yes bow wow was cursing back then.
The old 38 year old mom voice took completely over like “WHAT DID HE JUST SAY!!!!” Like a few times too! Now o had to be about 10 when this aired, I do not remember him being on, or I simply was doing 10 year old things and could care less🤷🏾♀️
Omg he was so adorable..but why would they let him go out on t.v. with explicit lyrics😩? He was just a baby.. 🔥 but just a baby they should have made his lil song pg for the show.. Lol
💯 tru he wuz jus freestylin off da head lol
Lil homie gets down Dpg4life
Snoop probably
Deathrow records 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿😂😂😂
Grabbed him right up 😂
Love Arsenio! Miss his show abunch.
Bow Wow is my age, he started rapping at a young age, 6 years old, very cool!!!
That whole “gangster” image would’ve never worked for bow wow it just wasn’t him he’s a grown ass man now and it’s still not him .. I think jd probably saved him form a lot of dumb shit and possibly a early death 👍
It's all a show. He was a plant. What 6 ye old has niggas trying to " do him in"?
You’re not from Chicago and it shows.
@@LeonGotGrahams ? These comments speak on none of that?why so irrelevant ?
Jd as in J dilla?
No one seems to be disturbed by the words coming out of his mouth 😳.
Nah usher567, seems most people are in disbelief of the profanity of a five year old.
His legacy is so tight for his kids go bow wow 👏
. . . damn that's a hell of a flow
Wow, I am so surprised that they would allow a little kid to drop so many "N" bomb's like that!!!!!!!!
He is the little kid doing the interlude on G's And Hustlas "You better ask somebody", Snoop says he thought bow wow's mother was cool for dropping her kid and letting him speak that rough talk...
It was rhe early 90's...
It’s interesting that Snoop has HER 6yo son out there using such vulgarity and not either of his own sons
@@nm0852 Doggystyle era, I doubt snoop had kids.
I thought I was hearing things. I had to play it back again. I was like I know he not saying what I think he was saying.
Bow Wow co-existed with the likes of Snoop ,Tupac, Rakim, Big Daddy, BIG, DMX through to Eminem , 50 cent to the Lil Waynes and all of that until the Kendricks and Coles of this world..a true legend
Dang I remember that like it was yesterday! Mad Props to Bow Wow!
New Rory and Mal brought me here!
I was 7 when this came out I remember because I stayed up to watch it on a big back tv with the wood around it that sat on the floor if you old enough you know about the tv with the wood around it lol
He was Born with tha God Flow....Born a Star-And i wish him thee very Best sucess
Bow Wow a true legend out here 💜👑
Yep. THEY know who you are around about 6 years old! So if you 30..thinking you gonna become a rapper!..THEY got " other plans" for you!!!😂💙💙💙🔵🔵🔵🆗💙💙💙💙🔵🔵🔵🔵
Bow wow was wildin as a lil baby..much respect for being so young with swag..better than most of these new rappers even then..
if something happens to bow wow, the whole world gone come back on this lost footage
I didn’t even know he was rapping in 93’ I only remember him as far as 2000 when I was 9.
Lol nah. Bow Wow been around all his life
The movements was all Snoop. He learned from the best. And he was adorable. Bow really is a young legend.
Arsenio snatched him up because he was being too gangsta. 😂😂

Proof that even in 1993, niggas was still tryna do him in 🤦🏾♂️#legend
😂😂
Lol bro 🤣

Kid was made for this
bow wow the real legend
At that age he displayed more confidence and talent than most grown men.
Oh snap!..lol..I didn't know he started off that small..that's what's up!
Thanks for posting..I'm passing this on!💯
Aw he looked all shy in the beginning then you hear him rapping n****@ n**** 😄
Homie six years old ripping rhymes with that west coast flow 🔥
Even little bow wow throwing it up!
A short verse from Lil tiny bow wow murders the whole 6ix9 career
Name 1 rapper that controlled the stage at his age
The lil run at 1:18 i can't 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂😂
Im impressed, this sounds better than any of the stuff he came up with when he got older.....man long live 90's rap!
This verse was stolen from Tash of the Alkaholiks. Bow Wow jacked it. That's why it sounds better than any of his official stuff.
Check Tash's interview on No Jumper, talks about it at the 34 minute mark. Snoop ended up signing Bow Wow off this stolen verse 😂
No it does not stop lying and trying to be that “90s was the greatest”person. Dickeater
Bow wow got hit for years
As you can see it.. HE MADE IT!!
Was a star very young doing shows infront of adults. I’m scared to do that currently in mid 20s
😂😂😂 that's pathetic
@@captainhoopla7773 no not everyone can handle big crowds like that everyone isn't the same
You don't think about people judging you when you're 6.
It’s easier at that age.
Bow wow just showed how grown ups make a major impact on kids lives
Hes easily the most successful child hip hop artist of all time, that alone he should get his honorable flowers for
