Young Buck - Buck The World Review
"Slow Ya Roll" is the track, much like the ballad on a hair band album, which shows Young Buck is a deeply reflective thug, and, much like those ballads from the late eighties, this track is a guilty pleasure. As a listener, you know these songs are forced hogwash intended to pull in a sap such as yourself, but you still fall for it. Trust me though, this track is no "They Reminisce Over You", and featuring Chester Bennington (of Linkin Park) nearly ruins the entire appeal. It's annoying that Young Buck (and/or 50 Cent) couldn't come up with an original idea, and felt the need to mimic the success of the Linkin Park/Jay-Z marriage. Note to rap artists everywhere: Chester Bennington can't sing (listen to him live), and anyone in their right mind would bet against him in a fight with Justin Timberlake. Please exile Linkin Park permanently from anything considered legitimate hip-hop.
Keeping with the previous theme, legitimacy is the major issue with Buck The World. Its rhymes, beats, and samples are, for the most part, as plastic as its title. Until rap can get legitimate artists with legitimate messages to dedicate themselves to the game, the industry will be a lineup of flavors of the month (like Young Buck) easily erased with the brush of a shoulder.
Tracks added to iPod: Push Em Back, Get Buck, Slow Ya Roll, Hold On
