Young Buck's sophomore album follows his infectious single, "Get Buck."
However, the rest of the songs on the album (minus the other single "I Know You Want Me" featuring Jazze Pha) are a major let down.
The CD tracks are largely formulaic with uninspired "crunk"-style choruses and the familiar verses about street-life.
The album will probably sell well because of "Get Buck," with its catchy beat and strong lyrics. This song is probably his greatest song to date.
It should sell particularly well in the South, especially in Young Buck's hometown of Nashville.
The problem is that the album rehashes familiar territory without a new spin. The album fails to engage the audience from track to track. After one complete listening, the CD most likely may end up in a CD case hidden somewhere.
"Lose my mind" offers a light of hope. It is sung somewhat like a rock song and is refreshing to the ear.
However, the best songs are the singles. In today's age of technology, an artist cannot afford to put out a sub-par record when people can simply download the superior songs.
Trick Daddy, T.I, Snoop Dogg and Memphis's own 8ball and MJG are some of the featured rappers. It is a bad thing, when listening to the guest artists on the album, that you suddenly wish you were listening to their CD instead.Unless you are a rabid Young Buck fan, save your money and just invest in the singles.
