I’ve been off of my “rappers’ official Web sites” game recently, half out of boredom and half because the new Firefox has been acting buggy with me and doesn’t always get along with Flash. (One of the rules of putting together an official Web site for a rapper is that is must use eight times more Flash than necessary.) So it wasn’t until today that I got over to Bow Wow’s site. I bet he’s kinda pissed that his URL is still lilbowwow.com after spending so much effort to get rid of the “Lil” in his name, but bowwow.com is owned by Bow-Wow Auto Parts, and maybe despite their cute doggy logo they’re really gangsta about owning their URL. Maybe Bow Wow has been following the sex.com saga and wants to avoid the hassle of all of those lawsuits and murder attempts, although I think a rapper-vs-Web site beef just screams “next level.”
