Young Buck Album: “T.I.P. [PA]”

Buck is back with another tight album. No big names are on it (other then Bun B) and production is done by someone I never heard of (and he's tight) this is a very solid CD the more I listen to it I'd say equal to his "Straight Outta Cashville" album and closer to 5 stars then the 4 I gave it. Of the 13 songs on here, 1 is a classic, 2 are almost classics, 2 are ok, none are bad, and the rest are good. Guests are on a good amount of the songs as only 3 songs don't have anyone on them, but the guests hold their own as well. Smoov Jizzell does all the production (Jordan Suecof co-produces one track) and he is pretty tight. Lyrics are typical Young Buck, about hustlin and gangstas witha few more personal songs, but for the most part it's his same formula. A good album to have for his fans or fans of southern rap.

#1 - 9 (f/ Rizin Sun -- nice beat)

#2 - 8.5 (f/ Bun B & Smoov Jizzel -- nice beat)

#3 - 8 (f/ D-Tay & Rizin Sun -- good beat)

#4 - 8 (about hustlin and crime to pay the bills)

#5 - 7.5 (f/ D-Tay)

#6 - 8 (f/ D_Tay)

#7 - 7.5 (f/ D-Tay)

#8 - 9.5 (f/ Rizin Sun -- tight beat)

#9 - 10 (CLASSIC -- nice beat and more mellow track)

#10 - 9.5 (f/ Rizin Sun, D-Tay, First Born -- tight beat)

#11 - 8.5 (has a real annoying hook but tight song)

#12 - 8 (f/ First Born, Bun B -- realxing beat and pimp-type song)

#13 - 9 (f/ D-Tay -- tight beat)

Check all my reviews

As this is a recording of past material, people need to appreciate this album for what it is. It's actually good to be able to hear what Buck sounds like, pre G-Unit. This album has a raw sound and the beats arent as over produced as they are on the Straight Outta Cashville album, but the rhymes are just as good if you truely appreciate rap for what it is unlike alot of these people who post these reviews just to look at their own text. Buy this album if you like Straight Outta Cashville. This one shouldnt let you down.

I am the most hardcore G-Unit fan ever, please believe that, but what the hell was Buck thinkin' man? The only remotely listen-worthy song on this CD is the one he did with Bun B. I was really disappointed with this CD, it is the only CD released by anyone affiliated with G-Unit that isn't worth buying, and ironically enough, Buck is my favorite member of the G-Unit. Come on man, you HAVE to step it up a notch!

This album is pure crap! Just a marketing move to capitalize on the sales from Straight Outta Cashville, until he can make a real new album, not this microwaved crapola. If you like Buck, get Straight Outta Cashville, an Beg For Mercy, than wait for his future release, with actual new tracks. I strongly advise you not to buy this. It is a total rip off. I wasted my time Downloading this.

I did not like his first album, but this one is hot as hell. It is probably a 4.5.
