Bow Wow is celebrating his 39th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed rappers of his generation.

Popular rapper-actor Bow Wow (Like You, Bow Wow, Bounce with Me, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 39th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Bow Wow, a cultural icon

Born Shad Gregory Moss in Columbus on March 9, 1987, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Bow Wow's not just a great rapper, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Bow Wow hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Bow Wow as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 39.

Happy Birthday, Bow Wow, you're the best!
