To say that the pressure is on Young Buck would be like saying George W. Bush might have made a slight error in sending American troops over to Iraq. Here’s why though. Like every other rap dynasty that has had a stronghold over record sales and mainstream rap aka 15 and 16 year old kiddies, G-Unit’s reign appears to be coming to an end. Let’s see…Yayo flopped. Banks flopped with his sophomore joint and Mobb Deep barely registered on the map with their album which equals a flop. Young Buck is the only soldier left in the field before the weighty burden of keeping G-Unit alive is shifted to the clique’s general, 50 Cent. Buck The World, Young Buck’s sophomore effort, will be either the resuscitation of G-Unit or a harbinger of their eventual fall.
Young Buck addresses the omnipresent pressure of bringing back the Unit on his track the “Clean Up Man.” Young Buck, in a very forthright manner, discusses the drop in record sales saying “[we] took a couple losses/still we some outlaws” which admits he knows the Unit isn’t hitting home runs like they were a couple years back. But boldly, and I stress boldly, Buck proclaims he can shoulder the Unit through the slump saying, “I can carry the weight 50/put it on my shoulders/G-Unit is the gang/I’m a motherfuckin’ solider.” This is Buck’s response to the doubters but not a very convincing one. G-Unit boss, 50 Cent, lends Buck a hand on perhaps the best track of the effort, “Hold On,” an interesting mixture of jazzy funk and gangsta rap. The brass section sings on the underlying track while 50 and Buck trade bars about blasting firearms, their hoods, homies and families—you know the usual. 50 Cent’s presence on the track overshadows Buck’s very average rhymes and the production and feel of the track make it sound more like a 50 song than a Young Buck track. Buck struggles with creating his own sound making few solo appearances on his own album and having a litany of guests. “Push Em Back” has Buck going in solo but the track doesn’t have much direction with the topics being the very cliché subject matter that is within most gangsta rap tracks and a very forgettable beat. “Buck the World,” title track of the album, featuring Lyfe Jennings takes the album on a more interesting turn. Buck relates the hardships he conquered to make it to his current state of success. It chronicles his career. It is the most personal track on the album and proves to be a decent listen. Buck closes the album with “Lose My Mind,” a very shocking effort to say the least. I applaud it because it’s something different but that’s where the props stop. The track is slow moving with blaring guitars and Buck’s flow resembles that of a heavy metal rocker. He rattles of his bars half rhyming, half screaming. Who would have saw this one coming? It’s different but different doesn’t necessarily equate to good. Will Buck save G-Unit with “Buck the World?” Hmmm…No. Buck tries to incorporate many different feels but fails in that you never really settle into the album. Some tracks have an East Coast feel, others West Coast. Some tracks are laid back and others are crunk. There’s nothing wrong with a variety of feels on a LP but when you’re moving from laid back straight into crunk with no transition it makes the album feel fragmented. Buck’s claims he can bring the Unit back but there are so many guest appearances, it seems like he’s saying he’ll need help. Jeezy shows up twice, T.I. pops in, Snoop and Trick are on one track, MJG shows up and the list goes on. The production is solid. The rhymes could be better, but are not terrible. Content is weak and creativity is of the same grade which is common these days. It’s safe to say pass on this one. Bottom line: It looks like 50 is the last hope for G-UNIT. source : nobodysmiling.com |

Fuck this bullshit, dude dont no shit about hip hop. Its clear he is a G Unit hater, please, you telling me Push Em Back aint a dope ass song? Fuck him. I dont care what some 30 something year old fucking desk nerd, whos hip hop preference is like on some Lupe type Common rap, or some fucking nerdy white guy tell me what is dope and what isnt. Fuck this site, fuck that guy. The fact is people read into reviews too much. For example, the Source gave Jays Kingdom Come album 4 1/2 mics, now to that guy he thought Jays album was that good, me I thought it sucked. The thing is, I dont let some guy tell me what I like. Someone can say this album is mad dope, XXL did, others may not. And some say XXL rides G Units dick, well they gave Banks an L, so that aint the case. And since when is selling 800k like Yayo, when he came out the same week as Kanye, who did 900k, and Yayo is the weakest in G Unit, was on house arrest so he couldnt do all the promo tours and show, since when is that a flop. Shit last year how many albums that came out in 06 went plat in 06? A couple, yeah, The Re UP and Game are plat worldwide, but that was in 07, so TI, Jay, mabye a few others. The fact is sales are way down, it aint 04 where everyone went mulit platinum, so you have to adjust what is a sucsess.
