Young Buck - Straight Outta Cahville (15 tracks) +Album Reviews

Not the greatest rapper out there...

"I know what you're thinking: "this kid just dissed the artist in the title, but gave his CD 5 stars?" Well, let me explain.

****THE ARTIST****

I would describe Young Buck as a very decent, above-average rapper, who given the chance, can explode.

His previous songs were inconsistant and just "blah". He was good as a guest on other artists tracks, but not really worth mention.

Ahh, but 50 Cent and G-Unit came along and gave Buck his chance to explode. First by giving him his own track, with no collabs, on G-Units "Beg For Mercy". On this song, (Footprints), he definitely impresses. He sure got my attention.

But personally, I still wasn't sure about him. I remembered him from Cash Money, and that he wasn't new to the game, but I wasn't convinced.. Well, not until I heard his song "Sleep With an AK" Off of DJ Whookid & Lloyd Banks "SWAT: Global Mixtape Strike Team" (http://sandbox.pair.com/abstract/djwhookidswat.html).

So I knew he had it in him. He does a good job riding beats, but every now and then he explodes. A friend of mine put it best when he said "wow.. this man can rap his a** off".

So is Young Buck a great rapper? No. But he can sure sound like one. Lloyd banks is, all in all, a much better rapper than Young Buck. I would, however, reccommend Young Bucks "Straight Outta Ca$hville" over Banks' recently released "The Hunger For more".

****THE CD****

Yes, buy it, get it, it's great. It's definitely one of the more "gangster" CD's out there, but I'd say most people into any form of rap would love it.

The beats are nothing short of amazing. Track 2 "Do It Like Me" Is incredible. The beat is genius, and Buck really goes nuts on it. Other stand out tracks are "Shorty Wanna Ride", "Stomp" ft Ludacris and T.I., and "Welcome to the South" ft Lil Flip and David Banner.

****COLLECTORS EDITION?****

The collectors edition just comes with an extra song and some DVD you probably won't even end up watching. The song is good, but not worth the extra $5 or whatever it is. It's a song by "DPG Unit" (DPG being Dogg Pound Gangstas; Snoop, Kurupt, Nate, and Daz Dillenger). Just do like me and download it.

****RECOMMENDATIONS****

Since we're talking about DPG, let me prescribe to you a favorite cd of mine: "Kurupt - Space Boogie, Smoke Oddyssey". With tracks produced by Daz Dillenger, the man who made most of Tupac's beats (including the brilliant "Ambitionz Az a Ridah"), the CD is sure to please. Sht, it's so good that even Fred Durst impresses."

Not A Fan of G-UNIT

"Im not a fan of G-Unit but out of all of them, in my opinion Young Buck is the best. Why? because I love the south period. Cash Money, No Limit (is kinda wack these days), artist like Usher, B.G. are all in my favorites. Yes YB is from the south if you didnt know.YOUNG BUCK STRAIT OUTTA CA$HVILLE is better than Lloyd Bank's solo attempt. Young Buck warning Ja on "Black Gloves"(Is'nt this enough, he's been beatin to death by Eminem, 50, Obie Trice, Proof, Lloyd Banks, Busta Rhyme). The beats are dark, the lyrics are hard what more can I say. One of My favorite tracks on this album "Bang Bang", you might remember the hook from Kill Bill. Best Tracks are I'm A Soldier, Do It Like Me, LET ME IN, WELCOME TO THE SOUTH, PRICES ON MY HEAD, Shorty Wanna Ride, BANG BANG, Thou Shall, Black Gloves, STOMP, WALK WITH ME, DPG UNIT.

"This Cd is hott. Buck reall knows how to use Tenessee roots and put it into 15 crazy songs with both southern rap styles, east and west coast rap too. There are no bad songs on it but bang bang annoys me because of the begining otherwise it is a very good song. The thing i don't like is that on Stomp they used the one with The Game which is still a excellent song but the one with T.I. is better because putting a west coast rapper in the middle of two sountern rappers doesn't seem right. I suggest you go pick up a mix tape such as Welcome to Cashville from DJ Mello or find online a way to download the Stomp w/ T.I. from the internet.

The G Unit is in da dirrty South and its hot

"I thought that the latest from tha g-gu-g-gu-g unit was straight pimpin. Young Buck brings g unit's signature hardcore gangsta lyrics in a true dirty south style. Like previous gunit records, most of bucks songs reflects on tha life in cashville and how much of a gangsta he really is. He portrays a real hardass, grimy thug who seems to run the show. I thought that most of the songs were excellent and the special features was hot. all tha songs repped wat gunit and buck are all about. i personally liked "thou shall", "Stomp", "let me in", "im a soldier", and "bonafide hu8stler". I thought "welcome to tha south" was a dope rhyme featurin David Banner, another gritty southern rapper. Young Buck had songs with colabos includin 50 cent, lloyd banks, game, yayo, ludacris, david banner, mr.porter, and others. this music is really gangsta and quite violent, a style that g unit has nearly perfected. i found it really pumped me up when i was goin to play ball and drivin my whip. listenin to it gave me a feelin of arrogance and relative invulnerability. U dont get that to often and thats why i thought that was one of the best from g unit. they just gonna keep on countin stacks of green for years to come if they keep it up. that said, the flaw was that basically all the songs reflected on the same topics such as killin, thuggin, drug pedallin, etc. i luv dis kinda music so it was all good for me but some may grow tired of such topics. i think that gunit is the east and new version of the nwa. i definately recommend this album if u a fan and even if u aint. all in all, its yet another great g unit album. its a must cop if u liked lloyd bank's "hunger for more", G unit's "beg for mercy", and/or 50's "get rich or die tryin'". peace out yall and look out for 50's new album scheduled for february."
