Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Bow Wow opens his fifth CD, The Price of Fame with a solemn interview clip in which the rapper/actor discusses 'the mental breakdown dealing with the price of fame,' thus setting the stage for a deeply emotive release. For a handful of tracks, he does exactly that, showing fans--and his competition-- just how refreshing that can be. The disc's first single, 'Shortie Like Mine,' featuring fellow teen heartthrob Chris Brown finds Bow Wow spitting rapid-fire rhymes and embedding lyrical skills with his especially melodic rap style. 'Tell Me' combines those same talents mixed with surprisingly candid subject matter: a plea to get his ex to come back to him. As he implores 'I'm a whole different individual now/everybody but you invisible now' to compelling back beats and samples (thanks to co-Executive Producer Jermaine Dupri), it feels like the pair could create a new genre: emo/electro/hip-hop. Dupri's amped-up hooks drive the disc, staying consistent while Bow Wow's identity oscillates between a lover and a wanna-be gangsta. Other songs worth noting are the hidden track, an R. Kelly duet dubbed 'I'm a Flirt' and the cheeky 'Damn Thing' featuring Da Brat. On the downside, a number of tunes contain far too much thug posturing: 'Bet That,' '4 Corners' (featuring Lil' Wayne) and the 50 Cent-inflected 'On Fiya' are filled with clichéd car/money/thug lyrics, causing Bow Wow's uniqueness to get lost in the flow. --Denise Sheppard

- Bow Wow - The Price of Fame CD
Excellent CD! I think it contains some of his best music yet. Received in perfect condition, and quick and easy transaction.

Rating:

- just barely over average
Not really one of Bow's better cd's i prefer Wanted myself. This is one cool though with tracks like "4 Corners w/Lil Wayne, Pimp C", "Outta My Sytem w/T-Pain", Shortie Like Mine feat Chris Brown and "I'm A Flirt". It makes for a decent album but i'm hoping that Bow Wow's collabo CD with Omarion will up the game a little bit. Its not a cd that really does a whole lot besides the tracks i listed and a couple others. Its only average and worth a few listens at best.

- I like it but the edit has to go!
The CD is overall really good but its edited!!! His last album "Wanted" isn't edited at all he says "N****" plenty of times but on this every bloody word that is "innapropriate" is gone... Even Da*n... CMON!! UR MATURE NOW BOW WOW time to make an Explicit CD!!!
