Free Music Notes for Buck The WorldFree Music Review: Young Buck- Buck The World Hit: 5 Stars The first thing i want to say is that i agree with a statement another reviewer made on this album and that is that G-Unit is pretty much near death right now, but Buck can hold his own by himself. With that said, i know that many people will disagree with me, but i think this is honestly the best rap album since All Eyez On Me. I know that may be a little far fetched but this is truly the best rap album i have heard in a long time, and i really dont like rap at all, but i remain loyal to Buck. But he is about the only one left of the rappers these days that i consider to be gangsta wit his style...but at the same time he has something good to say on almost all his tracks. Buck is making music for the people that struggle, just listen to the Lyfe Jennings assisted "Buck The World" and you will see what i am saying. Buck is sayin things people can relate to, and that is why he is my favorite rapper right now, and this is my favorite rap album of the last 5 years plus. He just tore it up on this album. And the funny thing is that Strait Outta Cashville was tight to, but Buck the World blew it out the water. And the sad thing is that alot of people forgot about Buck because he took three and a half years off in between Buck the World and Strait Outta Cashville. Just look at the album sales in the first week of both albums SOC sold 230,000 and BTW sold 140,000. So there was a steep drop in sales from this album to his last. But trust me this album is definetly worth buying, there is something for everyone wheter your in the mood for the rowdy "Get Buck" or the baby making "U Aint Goin Nowhere". And of course there is the weed anthem "Puff Puff Pass". This album is far more mature than his first and this is honsestly the best rap album of the last 5 years. Dont sleep on Buck, he is the real deal. COP THIS ALBUM!!!

Free Music Review: Buck The World....Don't Ask Me For Ish! Hit: 4 StarsThe G-Unit crew haven't exactly had the best of times lately. Olivia was released from G-Unit, Lloyd Banks' album all but flopped, and 50 Cent has been incognito when it comes to his next album. And with word that has actually entertained the idea of a follow-up to Tony Yayo's album is totally beyond comprehension. So for Young Buck to put out an album amid this storm is definitely ballsy to say the least. The best thing for him to do is disassociate himself from anything to do with G-Unit even though he still reps for the collective for the time being. And outside of one song with 50, Young Buck accomplishes that feat with Buck The World, a project that further validates the rapper as a true emcee and not a fly-by-night, overnight sensation like countless others. Buck hits hard from beginning to end on this album, but he must utilize outside talent from about 2/3 of the disc. Hip-Hop artists like 8Ball & MJG and Bun B ("Say It To My Face"), Snoop Dogg & Trick Daddy ("I Ain't F@cking With U!"), and TI, Young Jeezy, and Pimp C ("4 Kings") all deliver the goods for standout tracks. Lyfe Jennings brings a little soul for "Buck The World," while Latoiya Williams shows off her uniqueness for "U Ain't Going Nowhere." But Young Buck does well on his own too, rocking solo for the hard-hitting "Push Em Back," the equally forceful "Buss Yo' Head," and the 'State of the Unit' address portrayed on "Clean Up Man." Young Buck does something that 50 and Lloyd Banks couldn't do and that's release a sophomore album that is just as good as his debut CD. Buck The World is basically for the streets, and thankfully that's probably the vision Young Buck had in mind this time out.
Free Music Review: Buck is 50's right hand man, G-Unit !!!! Hit: 5 StarsIn 2007, there was not much action coming from G-Unit. Yayo is still working on his late 2007 release, Lloyd Banks is contemplating his next follow up to his semi-unsecessful Rotten Apple, and 50 is obviously waiting to drop one of the most anticipated albums of the year in Curtis, on September 4th. While the Unit was busy working, Young Buck came out with his second album under G-Unit/Interscope Records.
With much anticipation from fans and the hip hop world (XXL magazines' third most anticipated album of 2007), Buck delievered with Buck the World. With collaborations from Trick Daddy, Snoop Dogg, UGK, 50 Cent, Jazze Pha, 8Ball & MJG, Young Jeezy, T.I. and Lyfe Jennings, Buck put to use his G-Unit connects.
Although his first single was "I Know You Want Me" feat. Jazze Pha, I believe that the better single was his second "Get Buck". "Get Buck" contains one of the neatest beats thats innovates marching band trumpets and tubas, with a little Gospel "Ohhhhssss". Overall it is the best track on the CD and really gets people pumped when they hear it, because the bass is insane. A real club banger, some might put it.
Buck's effort was excellent on the LP. All the tracks kept me listening and I felt hooked to each one. It was good mixture of beats that kept me thumping and then kept me thinking and relaxing. It is a great CD if you need to let some aggression out, because tracks like "Lose My Mind", "Hold on" feat 50 Cent, and "Buck the World" allow the listener to feel Buck's struggle, relate and just vibe to it. Then the tracks like "Get Buck" (Produced by Polow da Don) and "Money Good" (produced by Lil Jon)get you pumped and excited. I always feel like moving to these two songs and showing everyone that the Unit is down for life!
Buck the World is a straight 5 star LP. No getting past that. If 50's album doesn't sound better, than their is no hope for the Unit, because rumors are that Buck might be leaving after he spit a recent diss in a few bars at a hired function. (notice that Yayo and Banks aren't featured on the album)
Top 5 tracks:
1.) Get Buck
2.) Hold on feat. 50 Cent
3.) Money Good
4.) I Know You Want Me feat. Jazze Pha
5.) 4 Kings
Honorable mentions:
1.) Lose My Mind
2.) Pocket Full of Paper feat. Young Jeezy
P.S. to those that want a preview of 50, wait a few seconds after the last track to hear "Funeral Music" by 50 Cent. It is a diss track geared toward Cam'ron of Dipset, after he made a few comments towards 50, that 50 didn't appreciate too much. I don't think it will appear on Curtis, but it is a pretty hot track.
Go and cop Buck the World now, you won't regret it.
G-Unit !!!!!!!!!
Free Music Review: 615 Representing Hit: 4 StarsFirst things first, I, in no way, like G-Unit as a rap group, a clique, a family, or whatever. My biases against them wouldn't let me check out "Straight Outta Cashville", Young Buck's first solo album. I usually check any artist coming straight outta Tennessee, because it's my state. I wasn't feeling "Let Me In", or whatever it was called, and "Shorty Wanna Ride With Me" either. Then this year, "Buck The World" drops with little to no hype, and honestly, I was curious as to how it sounded. "I Know You Want Me" got no attention from me, but the rest of the album came as a pleasant surprise.
The opener, "Push Em Back", will get you hyped up in no time. "Say It To My Face" features Bun B and Eightball & MJG. It's a tight track with excellent production and good verses from all guests. "I Ain't F******* Wit U" is a cut dedicated to snitches. Snoop Dogg and Trick Daddy come in to drop their verses, and the smooth singing by _____ provides for a good chorus. "Buck The World" is definitely one of my favorites. Lyfe Jennings gives the listener a powerful chorus, and Buck gets a little introspective but still keeps it gangsta. "Slow Ya Role" speaks on growing up too fast. On paper, a Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) and Young Buck collaboration would sound bad, but Bennington lays down a nice backdrop to Buck's chorus and lends a nice bridge. It's another stand-out. "Haters" features Kokane and is another track where Buck goes hard at whoever his adversary's may be. The beat and chorus are both excellent. "Hold On" featuring 50 cent is catchy as hell. "Puff Puff Pass" is self-explanatory. I usually don't like songs commemorating reefer, but this has such a good vibe and sound to it that you can't help but listen. "4 Kings" has been out for awhile but it still bumps. "Lose My Mind" is an excellent way to close out the album (if you forget the bonus track). Buck yells out his feelings over the beat. This is the perfect song to listen to when you've had it with the world.
There are plenty of good cuts here, but there are also some throwaways. "Buss Yo Head" may energize some people, but it sounds rehashed. It's simple and is used strictly for filler. I may get hated for this, but I also do not like "Get Buck". In some way it comes off as boring to me. However, I do think it was a good choice for a single. "Pocket Full Of Paper" is ruined by Young Jeezy. "U Ain't Goin Nowhere" featuring LaToiya Williams is lackluster. "Money Good" is also pretty self explanatory. Yes, we know your money is good. "I Know U Want Me" is a supbar single that lacks substance. It's no wonder it didn't get much play (atleast not here in Kentucky).
Those mentioned above don't make the cut, but it's still a solid album. I'm glad I decided to check it out, for it is atleast worth a download. If you remotely like G-Unit or southern Hip-Hop, you'll appreciate the disc entirely. If you're not really into those that much, you'll still appreciate hits like "Slow Ya Role", "Buck the World", "Lose My Mind", and "Haters". Overall "Buck the World" is an enjoyable listen and offers something to everybody.
Free Music Review: DIRTY SOUTH IN THE BUILDING Hit: 5 StarsAnother hard CD by young buck. About equal with SOC. My cuts include buck the world, slow ya roll, hold on, puff puff pass, 4 kings, clean up man, buss ya head, and i ain't f---- with you. Cop it if you like good down south music.
