Bow Wow, the first rapper to visit The Breakfast Club from the YMCMB camp, came to talk about his coming album Underrated, tearing up on 106 & Park when talking about his daughter, reconnecting with his father and more.

With a recent appearance on BET’s 106 & Park, Bow Wow almost teared up when he discussed his daughter. “She’ll be 1 in April and I’m not even gonna lie, it was hard for me to look at [Rocsi] while I was talking about [my daughter]. It’s a touchy situation because I love her so much and it is my first [child], but I had to reel it back, even Stunna was like:, ‘It look like you was about to drop one.”

Angela then mentioned reconnecting with his father and if that decision was inspired by his newborn daughter.“I did it out of self because it felt like something that I needed to do as a man.” It had been four years since Bow Wow and his father spoke and they stopped due to his father’s issue with alcohol.

“My father is a heavy alcoholic, been that way my whole life. I’m grown now and I felt like I wanted to connect with my fam and build what was lost. So that is why I reached out to him, it was all out of love and I guess he felt like I was tryna disrespect him somehow by having it on my webisode. But if you watch it, I was estatic talking to my pops like ‘what team you like? Who you running with this year?’ But then all of a sudden I see something crazy pop-up, from my two half-sisters, on the ‘net, they rachett ass.”

Charlamagne then advised Bow Wow to share his personal experiences on his next album to help him transition from being seen as a child star.

“I do, and that’s what makes this album so special. It’s less of the bling but, ‘Underrated’ is really my story, like Charlamagne just said he aint even know that [my father was an alcoholic] and that’s the same thing that Snoop said. I just put this 3-min video with Snoop talking about me. He said, ‘man you a fool, you do all these movies but you never did one on yourself?’ and I said to him nobody wants to see that. He said listen, you got a story that needs to be told regardless if it’s you or not. As a five-year old kid you were around Death Row, you was around me and Dr. Dre, we fell apart and you went to Atlanta. Someone else got you, you’re moms had to get in a car pack you, the story of a black woman, single woman, the whole nine yards and when he said it I was like, ‘Yo, that sounds crazy.’”

Watch the full interview for more especially for Bow’s timeless reaction when asked if he ever dated Kim Kardashian.

Birdman says he was forced to rap, and goes on to explain the White Boyz mixtape he has coming out with Mack Maine. He discusses how much he loves white everything, but has never had a white woman. Baby says he has never gotten caught up in a woman and it will never happen:

Birdman says his main focus in life is to be a billionaire. He says he wants to produce movies with Cash Money Films. He lists artists he likes other than Cash Money signees including Rick Ross, Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, Gucci Mane and Brick Squad, including Waka Flocka.

When asked if he is planning a documentary, he agrees that it would be a good idea but admits that it is difficult to bring up the past, because you try to put your past behind you when you’ve lost so much. Birdman reiterates that R. Kelly was one of his biggest mistakes having wasted 2 summers with him:

SKILLZ “WAVE YO HANDZ”

If you don’t know the homey Skillz is way more than the guy that does the year end wrap up’s.  He a skilled MC that’s been putting it down for years.  This  one bumps with the throwback chorus so support the Virigina representative and catch him on tour along with the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff

BIRDMAN “MONEY AND THE POWER” FT. GUCCI MANE & BUN B

Well Weezy the Cash Money cash cow is officially in the clink for a hot sec so it’s up to Baby and the rest of the squad to pick up the slack.  With Drake and Niki up next the Birdman should be straight and will def rep during Weezy’s absence so he doesn’t have to shoulder the load by himself.

CONSEQUENCE “DOWN THIS ROAD” FT. MAINO

It’s a Queens/Brooklyn collaboration from Con’s long awaited album.  Rumor has it he put together a solid album so if this is any indication of what’s to come listeners should be happy.

YOUNG CHRIS “STILL THE HOTTEST” FT. J. COLE

Philly/Rocafella former young gunner recruits another young gunner in  J. Cole as they both provide blistering verses from this track from Chris’s upcoming mixtape release.  Chris falls into that slept-on MC’s category in my book.  Anyone care to disagree???

Bonus: Check out this interview with Jay Electronica when he called up the morning show back in December 2008.

BLACK ROB “INFINITE”

Reef’s take:

Some material Rob recorded before his incarceration that is just getting out now so while it’s not 100% new it’s new to us and the record is fire. Black Rob is definitely on my “slept-on MC list”. Word is that Rob may be released by the fall so that is good news.

Caller’s take:

Callers repped for Black Rob heavily

BIRDMAN “SOUTHSIDE” FT. LIL WAYNE

Reef’s take:

It’s been quite a year for this cash money millionaire thanks to Weezy so you knew the Birdman had to come to the party to scoop up the rest of the money.

Callers take:

It’s definitely a love or hate thing with the Birdman and callers were serving the haterade ice cold this morning.

BEANIE SIGEL “READY FOR WAR” FT. FREEWAY AND YOUNG CHRIS

Reef’s take:

Solid (pause) offering from Beanie’s new mixtape.  Another member of Reef’s “slept-on MC list” for sure!!! Will be interesting to hear what the Broad Street Bully has in-store for listeners.

Callers take:

Callers responded favorably to the song for the most part.

LIL CALI “RICK FLARE” FT. YOUNG DRO AND MOUSE

Reef’s take:

New Louisana hot sauce from the folks that brought you Webbie and Lil Boosie. Cali is next in line but I wonder if he even knows about the original Rick Flair the wrestler from back in the day. Oops I’m showing my age so prob not.

Callers take:

Cali did not get love from the listeners.

DRAKE “THE SEARCH” FT. SAUKRATES

Reef’s take:

It’s a Canada thing as Drake leads the new school while Saukrates reps as a Canadian MC that’s been putting it down for a minute and he makes some mean sounding beats as well.

Callers take:

Callers were all in support of the flavor from north of the border.
