I don't know much anything about Young Buck. But I do know that he was in G-Unit, and he might have had a terrible year! It's hard out here for a 2004 Underground Artist of the Year. We have a lot to cover here, so let's go!
First of all, right now our friend Young Buck resides in Mississippi, at the Yazoo City Medium Security Federal Prison. He's there on a gun charge. That is no way to live.
I know what you're saying: He might be in prision, but at least he's rich. G-G-G-G-Unit! Right? I mean, look at his video of him dancing in front of his mansion (in the "hood"). So rich.
Well, he got evicted from there.
In fact, our friend declared banruptcy in 2010, and he had to sell all his stuff. That SUCKS. Anyway, here is one of those things that he sold. We spotted it on eBay! G-Unit!
YEP. Young Buck had to part with his Southern Entertainment Awards "Everything Underground" Underground Artist of the Year Award! I must admit, that it would be tough to part with anything as important as that. But he HAD to, and then it sold on eBay for $275. That's a lot of denerio.
He also sold his G-Unit Vibe Award. This one I actually remember because when Young Buck won this award, he also took the time to stab someone at the Awards ceremony who had asked Dr. Dre for an autograph or something. This award sold for $355.
That doesn't seem like much, for a stabbing and all.
I'm not much of a Young Buck fan (or an award fan), but why are they taking his awards away from him? Look, let the guy have his awards. He earned 'em. If you bought them maybe you should give them back to him. Consider it a gift to a guy who is way down on his luck.
Finally, we've learned that Young Buck is broke and in jail, at least he's got his health, right? Well, he was also targeted in a drive-by shooting in 2012, and even though his SUV was hit 11 times, he was safe. So, yep, he's got his health. That's about it. Maybe buy a Young Buck album to support our friend. He's got like seven albums and twenty mixtapes. Buy one. You need to because I won't, even if they are just $1.75.

This is where I review an album cover without listening to the album. Enjoy.
Imagine you're walking around Zoo Atlanta with your family. You're making friends and checking out the Parakeets when you venture off a bit to get a Coke. Suddenly you are snared in a trap and find yourself blindfolded in the back of a crunk van. After a short drive you're pulled out and the blindfold is removed. It turns out that you're at some abandoned "parts and salvage" building. Is this a nightmare or a mixtape album cover? Wait, you're surrounded! Your captors introduce themselves (as listed in the album description):
Parlae of Dem Franchize Boyz
Yo Gotti - A/K/A Lil Yo from J Records
Starlito - A/K/A the All $tar Cashville Prince, from Cash Money Records
Young Buck
Slick Pulla from United Streets Dopeboyz of America and the Corporate Thugs
Gucci Mane
and you also see the Bo$$ Ri¢k Ro$$ (without his famous chain of his own face)
This is serious. But it gets worse, the mastermind behind the whole operation is called "http://mrelectriccity.wordpress.com/" (a website!) who you immediately know by his alternate name "U Know I Got Them Xcluzives". It doesn't look good. (That website is hilariously listed as presenting the album, wtf?)
So let's examine the scene. All of these rappers are known as "Quap Gettas" and trappers, and everybody knows what those two terms mean. Actually not many people do, but from your experience "Back Door Boomin'" with Young Buck you know that Quap Gettas are quick money makers and trappers are rappers who wear t-shirts.
The abandoned building is just a common place that trappers use as a hideout and to keep their wheelbarrows of cash and to rap (seriously, wheelbarrows? I hope there isn't a gust of wind). It looks like a dreadful place, and, trust me, you're not getting rescued if you're a hostage there, I mean there is trash everywhere and nobody wants anything to do with Quap Gettas. But you notice something odd as you cower in fear, among the five hostage takers standing before you (one has a vest and a machine gun, so he was probably in the Navy Seals...Also, is he kneeling in the Wheelbarrow? Because his legs don't touch the ground.) There are stacks of money that have fallen to the ground. Rick Ro$$ (the guy on the far left with the sunglasses who looks like he is saying "I have an idea!") is standing near some money that fell out of a wheelbarrow, but the stack is bigger than his shoe! You realize that these aren't real people, they've been poorly superimposed! And that's not real money, it was also superimposed, it's not even kind of flying around that middle guy at all (or is it falling out of his hat?). Those guys were never even there! It even looks like their chains were superimposed on their chests. You're all alone. Or are you?
You soon realize that you were never really a hostage, you were still at the zoo and everything was superimposed the whole time (that building even looks somehow fake). It was a birthday surprise from your loving wife. Happy Birthday, this cover is awful.
