I gotta be honest.. when I first heard about this, folks were acting like something was seriously wrong and thought it was funny that Young
Buck found himself breaking down. Whoever thinks dude was wrong or weak, needs to take a close look at themselves. Far too often we as brothers hold a
lot inside and have allowed ourself only one or two ways to react to troubling situations. The usual course of actions is to lash out and be angry all in a way
of saving face. Far too often our aggressive actions results in death.
I don't know Young Buck. I only meant him twice and he seemed like a pretty cool dude. If he breaks down because of pressure, then I would hope we all
respect the honesty of his emotions and recognize all of us are a heartbeat away from being that vulnerable.
I would hope that our sistas including somebody like Miss Info who broke this story doesn't run around clowning. I hope and pray dude gets
it together and comes out from under whatever pressure he's been feeling.
Young Buck is supposed to be a G-Unit soldier.. We often toss that word 'soldier' around like they are hardened men who can keep their feelings in
check at all times. That is certainly neccessary when engaged in combat and all your energy and attention has to be focused on the battle at hand. But if
anyone caught the heart-wrenching testimonies of the 'Winter Soldiers' who spoke before Congress about what they experienced in Iraq, then you know
only an insane man would not be crying. many of our folks are dealing with enormous stress and mental upheavals, both in real war and the day to day war-like
conditions we face in the hood.
Keep your head up Young Buck-Allow yourself the space to stay heal and get strong

Young Buck Pleads With 50 Cent, Breaks Down During Phone Conversation

A very emotional phone call between former G-Unit rapper Young Buck and G-Unit boss 50 Cent found its way to the
internet.
The Cashville rapper exposes his fear of being kicked out of the group and tries to become a part of the family again.
Radio personality Miss Info provided the first 2 parts of the conversation and give listeners an insight look at Buck..s current situation. Buck's pleads
and promises of loyalty and even cries in the end of the conversation, while convincing 50 Cent that he is a loyal soldier.
"I don't want you to dismember me from the crew," Buck said. "I've not said nothing out here in the media-other than me putting in the
statements of 'I'm my own man creating my own thing,' but I have never dismembered myself from the family.
"
Buck went on to talk about his label Cashville Records and credited 50 for the idea.
"You gave me the idea. You gave me the whole-and that's what I explained in my interviews," he admitted. "All of this is under your whole
thing-it's just that I don't really have no lead on what's going on for me. I ain't getting no whole lotta money, only money that really came
out of that deal for us from Sony was $75,000 for production-going in to marketing and promoting. They gave me 79 percent [and Sony] took 21 percent from the
record.
"
Furthermore Buck talked about the money he still owes 50 along with payments he still owes to the IRS.
"My whole goal is to actually get back what I've paid for you and hopefully I can actually get that sh*t back-work out the kinks," he continued.
"I know [Lloyd] Banks and [Tony] Yayo gotta feel a certain way towards me 'cause of the way sh*t is and just iron sh*t out and hopefully get back to
the G-Unit record. Outside of what I owe you, you got tax time rolling around-and my taxes. I still owe money from last year's taxes. It's so many
other debts that I'm in for as far as the last year and this year's about to roll around.
"
In the end Buck says that he is confused by the various debts he owes and he breathes hard into the phone while 50 tries to calm him down.
"You gonna be all right, you hear me," 50 asked. "You gotta be able to stay closer to me, Buck, so you don't f*ck up. We'll fix the
sh*t. You just got to stay closer to the space 'cause there ain't no-it's not gonna happen. Sh*t is different, Buck, and if you don't stay
closer to what's going on it's gonna f*ck up. Tony's been the safest one, you know why? He's been staying closer.
