Young Buck is out to show the rap world that he's no mere 50 Cent lackey. Yet, Buck and 50 share an equally intense love for firearms and hustle-specific wordplay. 50 utters death threats on the hook of "I'm a Soldier"--right after the gun shot sound effects, of course--and the thuggery just accelerates from there. "Do It Like Me" and "Prices on My Head" reveal Buck's Tupacian persecution complex. Burgeoning beat miners Midi Mafia rework a classical music sample to perfection on "Thou Shall," offering a little something to ease the tension. And when the G Unit comes together, the results are usually breathtaking: "Bonafide Hustler" finds 50 Cent dissing Wyclef Jean while Tony Yayo flips keen verses about peddling drugs, to the tune of "Mama's Gonna Buy You a Mockingbird." Crunk beats from Lil' Jon ("Shorty Wanna Ride") and Three 6 Mafia ("Stomp," "Taking Hits") bring Buck's Tennessee roots to the fore, perfectly matching the rapper's country cadence. Although the boasts about his 'hood exploits can get tiresome, Buck delivers some nasty, first-rate storytelling and jeep beats. --Dalton Higgins
Product Description
G-Unit star Young Buck's solo debut, "Straight Outta Cashville." "It's all the way street," says Buck. "You won't really get a lot of the mainstream, lovey-dovey side because that wasn't a part of my life in the beginning. "Straight Outta Cashville" is just a lot of headbusters. "Straight Outta Cashville" is a hometown testament destined to mark Country music's ground zero as a place where hip-hop bumps as much as Brooks & Dunn. "'Straight Outta Cashville' speaks for itself," says Buck. "It tells you my way of living up on to this day. I want the world to get a feel of me, showing them the way I am & the way I get down."

If I could rate this CD a 4.5/5, I would, but it's not quite noteworthy of a 5/5. I bought this CD today for only $10 (I would've bought it anyway, if it was $15) and I gotta say, this was a solid debut by Buck. If you like G-Unit, rappers from the dirty south, and/or general hip hop, I highly recommend you buy this CD.
Lyrics- 7- The actual complexity of the lyrics aren't that deep. He rhymes about G-Unit-ish things like money, killing, and respect. There's no real lessons hidden beneath the thug talk. It is what is claims to be and there are no real hidden "moral" lessons. That's one of the things I like about rappers like Tupac and Eminem: beneath the tough talk, there's usually something to makes you feel good about yourself...Buck's not that deep. Still, it doesn't really bother me, and if you're fan of gangsta rap, you'll have no problem. Kids/teens can listen to this CD, in my opinion, but only if they're mature enough. As long as the kid takes it with a grain of salt, like they're supposed to, and don't really go out there killing people, it's fine. One plus side about Buck's lyrics is that he comes up with an extremely clever line once in a while. One that you'll probably be saying in your head for days.
Beats- 8- Simple yet effective. Again, something you'd expect from a G-Unit soldier. Nothing that'll really stand out in your mind, but it's hard not to nod your head with the beats.
Voice/Delivery- 10- This is where Buck shines. Buck's biggest strength is the way he has a distinct "feel" whenever you listen to him. It's hard to explain but you'll understand when you hear him. One of the best deliverys out there.
Guests- 7.5- Buck's buddy 50 Cent does a great job here on the songs that he's in. I like his chorus in "I'm a Soldier" especially. "Im'a Soldier, I Done Told Ya, Don't Make Me F**k You Up. Leave You Head Bust, Im'a Head Busta, Man I Don't Give A F**k." Lil Flip and David Banner also do a good job on "Welcome to the South." Other than that, everyone else does okay.
Length/Replayability- 10- Another spot where this CD stands out. If you "preview" this CD and just listen to 15 seconds of every song, you're gonna get the idea that they all sound the same. In a sense, they do, but it takes time to really enjoy what Buck has put out. This is one CD in your collection that you're gonna wanna pop in pretty frequently, it's that addictive. Nice.
Overall- 9/10- If you're a rap fan, you should seriously consider buying this CD. As long as you don't have a strong hate for gangsta rap, this is money well worth spent.
So to sum it up...
Pros- Delivery, replayable, addictive, choruses, better than Banks' so-so LP, leaves you wanting more
Cons- Not very "compassionate", lyrics are a little simple at times, leaves you wanting more (the CD as a whole isn't that long).
Best Songs- You literally have to pick a favorite. They're all pretty equal in terms of quality. The only one that isn't hot would probably be "Look At Me Now." (which is coincidentally, the least thuggish song on the CD).
G-Unit: You love them or you love to hate them. Almost everyone can admit that at one time, they thought G-Unit was gonna fall off...but damn. Album after album, the Aftermath/G-Unit keep on producing. They just won't die, will they?
Note: I complained a little about being TOO thuggish at times but it's also nice to see that at least Buck's keeping it real. Some think that's what Banks and 50 were lacking so if you're into that kinda lifestyle then there's another reason to buy this CD.

Young Buck is the G-Unit southern representative, and an excellent one, I might add. Unlike other southern rappers, Buck isn't restricted to southern topics. His wide vocabulary and life experiences enable him to rap about practically anything, a rare talent in today's hip-hop world. Not only do his lyrics make an impact, but his delivery enhance them to a level that is almost unmatched.
A strong, thuggish track opens the album with "I'm A Soldier", an instant southern style, street classic. Another strong song is next with "Do It Like Me", with powerful lyrics to match the smooth beat. And up third is Buck's first club-banger "Let Me In", not up to 50's "In Da Club", but a fine song nevertheless.
Young Buck continues the awesome song trend with the next eleven songs. There's not a weak song to be found on the entire cd, a near miracle today. Standouts include "Prices On My Head", "Shorty Wanna Ride", "Thou Shall", Stomp", and "Taking Hits". And the songs not mentioned are very powerful as well, keeping the flow throughout the entire listening experience.
Overall, Young Buck has dropped an undeniable classic debut. This is definitely one of the best rap albums out there, and a great buy if you want some good rap to kickback to throw it up in the club. An excellent choice for any collection.
