Whether it's a decided distancing or not, Scarface and early Mobb Deep come to mind as "Push Em Back" kicks open the door. None of this really matters in the long run because drama and talk aren't really part of the final listening experience, but it's worth noting because Buck the World doesn't outright look like a G-Unit release (the artwork isn't as loud as usual and there's no visual references to money) and it doesn't sound like it's from the house of 50 until about halfway through.

Young Buck's sophomore effort arrived as his crew and label (G-Unit) plus his career savior (50 Cent) had come under scrutiny for their struggling sales (struggling as in they weren't always going platinum). is much closer to classic than failure and should reassure fans that this slow-moving tank is pointed in exactly the right direction. Even with its wobbly mix of yesterday, today, and a better tomorrow, T.O.S. isn't an around-the-world affair, and with the Buck tracks included - as good as they are - it isn't thematically sound either, with 50, Banks, and Yayo relaunching G-Unit one minute, then re-creating Beg for Mercy the next. Dre, and Lil' Kim tracks are missing and "Straight Outta Southside" isn't really a commentary on the Sean Bell shooting after all - could have made this a more well-rounded effort. On the other hand, Yayo has never sounded so good, stepping his game up with a faster and more urgent style dropping wittier lines like the title track's "I kick Game like Pele and Beckham." The minimal, Dre-influenced beats are back in abundance, most supplied by those promising unknowns 50 always seems to discover, save superstar productions from Don Cannon for "Let It Go," with gun-talking dancehall superstar Mavado as guest vocalist, plus Swizz Beatz, who brings the blitzkrieg to "Get Down." If there's a reason to be disappointed it's that the broken promises - the announced Eminem, Dr. 50's return to form finds him delivering sly lyrics like "I'm a work of art/A ghetto version of Mozart/I move the keys/They call me the Piano Man" and making the hood rock like it's 2003 all over again.

Without him, the trio of 50, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo is a lean and tight attack unit with Banks as cool and cold as ever, while 50 and Yayo come off as newly inspired. Buck also figures into "I Like the Way She Do It" - a typical 50 club track in a "Candy Shop" style - and the thug pledge of allegiance "No Days Off," a track where he feels the odd man out. 2" is quintessential G-Unit, and when Buck declares "Even if 50 drop me/I still wouldn't sign" on the cut, it's a drama-filled bonus for fanboys. Throwing its guns in the air and making the club rumble, the addictive "Rider, Pt. tracks are relics from the mixtape world, albeit worthy ones that deserve their aboveground status.

As the album dropped, Buck was out and his five T.O.S.

Even so, 50 Cent's crew remains the thing that anchors his hip-hop career, connecting him to the streets through mixtapes, guest appearances, and venomous beefs with other rappers, including two of its own.
