Young Buck overcame the sophomore jinx better than his boss with Buck the World. On the production end of things, it has a bit more of a southern sound than his debut. And, lyric wise, while there is certainly plenty of aggressive content, Buck also offers a bit of introspection as well. Album highlights include "Buck the World", "Hold On", "4 Kings", and "Puff Puff Pass". Whereas 50's The Massacre seemed like it was merely an extension of Get Rich or Die Tryin' , Buck the World shows a real growth from 2004's Straight Outta Cashville. I had the pleasure of meeting Buck a few years ago at an after party for a southern hip-hop event, and he was a real nice guy. I've followed his work since 2002's Born to Be a Thug and have enjoyed it all for the most part. However, as of right now, Buck the World is still the collection of songs Young Buck has yet to top.
