🔴 YouTube Playlist: “Bow Wow (That’s My Name)“ is the second single from Lil’ Bow Wow’s debut album Beware of Dog. It features fellow rapper Snoop Dogg. It samples “Dernier Domicile Connu“ originally recorded by François de Roubaix and “Atomic Dog“ by George Clinton. The “radio edit“ completely removes Snoop Dogg’s rap and instead, includes a new verse. It also removes Lil’ Bow Wow’s mention of Snoop Dogg and Jermaine Dupri’s line as well, making it a song by Lil’ Bow Wow only. All versions censor profanities, including the second half of “motherfucker“ in Snoop’s verse, leading listeners to only hear “woof Dogg came to play“. The video was shot of Los Angeles directed by Dave Meyers. It was voted for the #1 video on BET’s 106 & Park. It was the first music video on 106 & Park to be retired. 2001 : Won Billboard Music Award Category Rap Single of the Year for “Bow Wow (That’s My Name)“ 2001 : Won BET Award Category Viewer’s Choice for “Bow Wow (That’s My Name)“ Bow Wow features in the video along with his alleged “Godfather“ Snoop Dogg, Fred Durst, Chanté Moore, Moby, and his ’mentor’ Jermaine Dupri.
