Straight Outta Cashville

Cool

Review Score:

(6/10)
When G-Unit was first introduced, I paid no attention to Young Buck. But with the introduction to his first video, I realized who he was and appreciated his stage presence and his energy. Overall, I believe he can rap. I like the fact that he explains his point of view without being just flat-out ignorant. But this cd sounds like something I've heard a million times before. I love "Ride With Me" to death via video (Pauly Shore is pure entertainment) and I like to see Young Buck visually, but in my car, I'm just not excited. I won't say the cd is bad--it's just the regular old I-got-a-gun-I'm-not-scared-of-you-I-lived-a-hard-life tale that I've heard millions of times before and am growing very tired of. BUT LUDACRIS'S VERSE ON "STOMP" IS PHENOMENAL. I love T.I.'s rapping style, but Ludacris? Whew. I had to pop my collar FOR him on that verse.
P.S. As usual, the beats are five stars...but look who he's with? I expected nothing less.
