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.

all the songs are hot as HELL, u don't know hardcore gangsta if u didn't pick this album.......best rapper, my favorite rapper of all the time......i just got his new CD T.I.P.
songs that i like the most
1)THOU SHALL<<<<hardcore spit
2)let me in<<<<u know what i would say
3)Shorty wanna ride<<<<<nice beat..great beat..
4)Stomp<<<<<<<<<is better than the hole 50 cent the massacare and Hunger for money by lloyd
5)Bonafide hustler<<<<fo shou

This is one of the all time greatest rap cd's to ever be recorded. It's an instant classic. I love every lyric.

I am reviewing this cd while I am listening to 50's new cd "the massacre." That cd sucks. Now, "welcome to cashville." This cd is way better than all of the other g-unit cd's, except the game's cd, "the documentary." Buy both of those cd's. You'll LOVE those.

Young Buck's solo debut is much better than Lloyd Banks. The beats are better the flow is better and Buck's style is better. He holds it down for the DIRTY SOUTH, best tracks are Shorty Wanna Ride, Let Me In, Stomp, Do It Like Me, and Bonafide Hustler. The other tracks are good too but these stand out. Best solo album to come out of G-Unit so far since 50 came out.
Holla At Ya Boy!!

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.

Great album, i like all tracks on it. Definately the best album of any G-unit member i came across.

Young Buck's debut is dope. Every single track on this CD is ON FIRE. Don't know why there are so many haters. I guess it's easy to hate on someone cuz they have more $$$ than you. But anyways Young Buck is the illest can't wait for his next album.

I listened to this early, and didn't pay any attention to people's reviews, as I never looked at 'em. But lately, I've been looking at 'em, and there's so many people hatin' on Buck. Especially on my favrotie song "Taking Hits". ANyway, no classics on here, but still a great CD. Here's by reviews in number form.

Young Buck I knew was hot when i heard Stunt 101 one of the best southeren rappers to come out i didn't think buck could hold his own on a solo debut but he proved me wrong and that he's in fact better than 50. The cd has great production he spits true southeren life like i've never heard before while still sticking to the usuall G-unit gun talk while maintaing that the cd features great callabos the only thing keeping this cd from a 5 to me is that he put ja in his mouth on the track Black gloves.
