Amazon.co.uk Review
Young Buck is out to show the rap world that he's no mere 50 Cent lackey. Yet, Buck and 50 share an equally intense love for firearms and hustle-specific wordplay. 50 utters death threats on the hook of "I'm a Soldier"--right after the gun shot sound effects, of course--and the thuggery just accelerates from there. "Do It Like Me" and "Prices on My Head" reveal Buck's Tupacian persecution complex. Burgeoning beat miners Midi Mafia rework a classical music sample to perfection on "Thou Shall," offering a little something to ease the tension. And when the G Unit comes together, the results are usually breathtaking: "Bonafide Hustler" finds 50 Cent dissing Wyclef Jean while Tony Yayo flips keen verses about peddling drugs, to the tune of "Mama's Gonna Buy You a Mockingbird." Crunk beats from Lil' Jon ("Shorty Wanna Ride") and Three 6 Mafia ("Stomp," "Taking Hits") bring Buck's Tennessee roots to the fore, perfectly matching the rapper's country cadence. Although the boasts about his 'hood exploits can get tiresome, Buck delivers some nasty, first-rate storytelling and jeep beats. --Dalton Higgins

mediocre material
i am a huge fan of g unit,especially 50 cent!! i heard this album for the first time last week and i was slightly disappointed, compared with get rich or die tryin' and the G unit beg for mercy this album doesnt really compare. young buck's style is unique and he has a way of really making you listen to what he is saying. the best songs on the album are so seductive, look at me now and bonifide hustler.

Young Buck is the least known member of g unit, but he is definatly the best. This album keeps it gangsta throughout with no R&B tracks like the other G Unit releases, e.g. 50 Cent's 21 Questions and Tony Yayo's Curious. The guest list is full of world class rappers such as Ludacris and 50 Cent. The best song is by far Stomp f/ Ludacris and the Game. This track should have been released as a single. It is now obvious who is G Unit's most skilled rapper. I also have 'Da Underground vol 1' which is a Young Buck and D-Tay release and Young Buck's flow, and the beats improve greatly on here. If you like G Unit or dirty South rap, by this NOW!

Welcome to Cashville
This is a truly excellent rap album from Young Buck. I, like many others I'm sure, feared that this might be a swift cash in from one of 50's entourage - how wrong you can be!

Buck displays his gangster credentials from the intro onwards but never loses focus on captivating beats and inventive, hard hitting lyrics all delivered in that Cashville drawl. A lot of rappers just rhyme by numbers but Buck really raises the bar and in my opinion this is the best of all the G-Unit clique's releases - and that includes 50's work.

If you like gangster rap, in fact any rap over a good beat then buy this. It never strays far from its grimy roots, but always lifts itself that little higher over most of the genre. It's an album that you'll return to again and again. Even when the other members of the G-unit come in to help out on some of the tracks everything sounds really slick and Buck never misses a beat.

What more can I say? Buy this album, you won't be disappointed at all.

Welcome To The Dirty South
In my opinion the best and most artistic member of G Unit, I'm suprised he hasn't released any music videos yet in this country because his stuff is excellent quality.
There are fantastic guest appearances from fellow G-Unit members 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo, and also appearances from Ludacris, D-Tay, Denaun Porter (D12) and The Game. They combine to make the sickest rap album out there. I would rank this as one of my favourites, even edging out Get Rich or Die Tryin' from 50 Cent.
This is why more Southern rappers should be a part of G-Unit. Hip Hop Gold.

Similar to the reviewers above me, I'll rate each track:

1. I'm A Soldier 8/10
2. Do It Like Me 6/10
3. Let Me In 9/10
4. Look At Me Now 6/10
5. Welcome To The South 9/10
6. Prices On My Head 7/10
7. Bonafide Hustler 8/10
8. Shorty Wanna Ride 6/10
9. Bang Bang 6/10
10. Thou Shall 7/10
11. Black Gloves 10/10
12. Stomp 10/10
13. Taking Hits 10/10
14. Walk With Me 7/10
