HIP-HOP ALBUM REVIEW
Young Buck
"Buck the World" (G-Unit/Interscope) 3 Stars

Like a superhero ready to rescue his beloved art form, rapper Young Buck, the Nashville-based member of 50 Cent's G-Unit crew, does his best to bring angst and intensity back to rap on the searing follow-up to 2004's "Straight Outta Ca$hville."

The stellar 17-cut collection maintains a muscular, vibrant and vulgar tone through virtually all of its **********, resulting in an album that could have served as a companion piece to the David Fincher film "Fight Club." Crisp drums, horn blasts and eerie keyboards make Buck's kidnapping and other taunts on "Buss Yo' Head" all the more alarming. The heavy brass sound of the single "Get Buck" provides a burly sonic background, while the sinister bass of "Clean Up Man" works well with Buck's deadpan delivery.

Even when Buck tones it down, it is all relative, as his tune with Snoop Dogg and Trick Daddy contains a smoother beat, but the lyrics remain raw and confrontational. Even when he's rapping to or about the ladies, Buck hits hard on this potent work.

— Soren Baker

Albums are rated on a scale of four stars (excellent), three stars (good), two stars (fair) and one star (poor). Albums reviewed will be released Tuesday.
