Well, at the very early stages of 2012 this is the thing I have enjoyed the most from the year thus far. I've always thought Buck did hardcore hip hop well, with his deep dirty voice providing the mood, and he proves it further on this tape. There may be too many similar-sounding tunes, but songs like 'Car Clowdy', Death of Me and 'No Place for Me' provide softer melodies to change it up often enough. Some other reviews have criticised the beats, and they may not be to the level of the tracks like what he got at G-Unit, but they more than do the job. In saying this, 'Dusted' at track 19 is quite reminiscent of 'Get Buck'. For twenty tracks the consistency is good, and Buck fans should enjoy.
A pretty hard tape from Young Buck & Tha City Paper that has quite a similar feel to Buck's recent mixtape, 'Live Loyal, Die Rich', although this isn't as good from start to finish. It's worth a listen if you like what Young Buck creates. He is one of the better rappers doing this kind of harder hip hop in my opinion. I can't stop playing 'Shoot Em Up' and 'Yo Turn'. They are fire!
Best Tracks: Oh Lord, Turn Myself In, Your Not Here, Droppin It Off, Shoot Em Up, Yo Turn
I've appreciated Young Buck more since he's been off a major label and this continues his run of good hardcore/trap tapes. All in all, he makes pretty simple music, but there are always some memorable hooks and enjoyable beats. Goes hard.
Best Tracks: Throwed Off, Plastic Bag, Rubberband Banks
