Bow Wow signed with Cash Money Records sometime late last week and, personally, I feel like it's the best move he could have made for his [somewhat] stagnant career. His latest album, New Jack City, wasn't what I thought it was going to be but, for what it was, I thought it served its purpose in transitioning Bow towards a more mature audience.
That being said, I'm curious to see what comes of this new business relationship he now has with Cash Money because a lot of artists over there rarely get a chance to shine outside of Birdman & Lil' Wayne. Drake being the only exception, of course.
For that reason alone, I could see why a lot of people would consider this a "dumb" move on Bow's part; but, in the end, the only thing that really matters is the music. Nothing else. Sure, Bow may not have the flashy catalog of "Hip-Hop quotables", but potential trumps everything, in my opinion, and Bow has everything he needs in front of him to elevate himself to that ever elusive level of elite.
