Lil Bow Wow Remakes Eazy-E Classic For New Album

[CWalker187]

Most of Lil' Bow Wow's Christmas wishes aren't too extravagant. Granted, his list includes an airplane ("I'm serious," he says, "an airplane!"), a life-sized wax figure of Batman, and a winning season for Allen Iverson and the Philadelphia 76ers, but the adorable tyke who rocks the mic really just wants you to take him home.

His album Doggy Bag (December 18) even has a theme song for those who wish to do so.

On the Neptunes-produced "Take Ya Home," Bow Wow's backup singer belts: "I said, Lil' Bow Wow/ You just don't know/ The way you move so fast across the floor/ I mean, you run through my mind like all the time/ To the point where I just wanna take you home."

Bow rhymes on the track about avoiding the fate of former child star Todd Bridges, the rumor that he dated a member of 3LW ("Girls in groups saying we go with each other") and being a greater family attraction than the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus. He's hoping to prove that last boast sometime in 2002.

"Next year I'm 'a be hitting off with my headlining tour called Scream 2," Bow said before a taping of "NBA's Inside Stuff" on Friday. Although Bow said he hopes to kick off the tour after he finishes filming his first Hollywood starring role in "Like Mike," which ramps up on Monday (December 10), he's still not sure who'll open up for him.

"I really don't need nobody, but it's whoever wants it bad," he said, revealing clear braces on his teeth. "I like to take new artists nobody ever heard of."

Bow is too young to remember New Edition's 1984 hit "Candy Girl," but he was down to sample it for "All I Know" after hearing it in the movie "Love & Basketball."

"All I Know" features Bow rapping about falling for a girl who is truly "off the heezey." "Both got cornrows/ Two bags each/ Roll so fresh from our heads to our feet," he rhymes about a trip to the mall with his girl.

Outside of the studio, Bow's not letting himself get caught up in any females. "I'm focused, maaan," he declared, taking a line from Jay-Z. "If I get a girlfriend, I won't be that focused. I'm trying to concentrate on things right now."

"We Want Weezy" (as in Bow Weezy) borrows from Eazy-E's "We Want Eazy." "Weezy, we want Weezy," children's voices chant on the chorus. Meanwhile, Bow pilfers from the late OG's rhyme book: "A miracle minor creation/ Bow Wow on the set/ Hyped up with the bass and/ A little bit of what you love."



Bow recently shot a video in Chicago for the song "Thank You," in which he gives props to everyone who has supported him. "That was real cool, just sitting with the fans and getting to know them," he said. "They got to know me, too. It was beautiful."

Doggy Bag's track listing, according to Columbia Records:
"We Want Weezy"
"Thank You"
"Take Ya Home"
"Get Up"
"Perfect Girl"
"All I Know"
"The Wickedest"
"Pick of the Litter"
"Crazy"
"Crazy Girls"
"Up in Here"
"Jimmy Cricket"
"Off the Glass"
