Watch: Bow Wow- Roc The Mic featuring Jermaine Dupri

Bow Wow has a new video for his first single off his 6th album called “Roc the Mic” featuring Jermaine Dupri. It is very rare that I say this but this song low key needs a “no homo” disclaimer. I know Bow and JD have a father/son relationship but there is something a little odd about this song. I’m surprised that someone thought a song about how Bow and JD fell out but are now back to being aces was a good choice for the first single. Perhaps they were going for the Kanye “Big Brother” feel, but the production on that song had much more of an edge to it whereas Bow Wow’s track sounds like it could be a love song. Anyway…I’m sure his fans will like this, but I say he needs to go back to the drawing board.

What do you guys think of the song/video?

    I’m not sure how I feel after watching this video.
    I get what they’re going for, I’m just not sure that it worked. I’m glad that they were able to let bygones be bygones, but this song/video leaves me feeling…well…strange. I’ve never understood the love affair with the Baby/Weezy (father/son) dynamic, but maybe I’m just “getting old” like B-Dub suggested.

    They should have just kissed like Baby and Lil Wayne and skipped making the song.

    its like a…duet. it comes real close to crossing the “no homo” line. it does seem like an attempt at the whole “big brother” feel; but its not quite there. its not too bad i guess

    That should be played at anti-prop 8 rallies.

    laaaaame… i liked 6 year old bow wow’s raps better (or however old he was when he came out).. both of these dudes suck now and this song seems like something they should’ve kept to themselves.. maybe in some sort of scrapbook or something… single material? hell no.. i expect them to get laughed at for this one

    i agree with Mark H.

    they are too old to be making songs like this.

    I don’t mind the idea of the song, but it shouldn’t have been a single. A good album song, but not a single
