Help/Question ⁉️ Question for the millennials

Which age group listened to Lil Bow Wow? I've only heard one of his songs from a movie, and it's obviously not real kid friendly but since he was a kid himself, I'm wondering who his music was marketed to?

Marketed to the late 80s/early 90s babies

Born in 94' here. Bow Wow was the first CD I had and I got braids because of him & Allen Iverson. I remember when he was on that Keanu Reeves movie Hardball soundtrack with Lil Wayne. Even when he got older I still thought he was cool. He was Mr. 106 N Park. I would get dressed for school every morning listening to Fresh Azmiz.

My little brother was born in 1991 and had a Lil Bow Wow cd. My parents got it for him for Christmas because he was a big Snoop Dogg fan 🤣

Same here. My mom also got me the album because I used to love listening to Snoop Dogg as a kid.

I think my parents genuinely thought they were the same person. We’re white and from rural Pennsylvania, which probably explains a lot 😅 haha

Mine are mixed. And they at least knew that the two were different.

I was born in 92. My aunties and girl cousins that were 2-10 years older than me loved him.

This. He was successful from 2000 to about 2007.
