Come on, Young Buck. I know you’re afraid of what will become of you now that you’ve been kicked out of G-Unit. But don’t demean yourself by crying over the phone to 50 Cent about your IRS problems and how confused he makes you–especially because as befitting a celebrity who’s rapidly losing his superstar status, 50 is pulling a Nixon and evidently taping his conversations, and he’s not above sharing them with Miss Info. Stop crying, Buck. Just look at the bright side. You’ve still got fans, and you’ve still got a record contract with G-Unit. And you didn’t have to appear alongside Cap’n Curtis in one of the gayest videos in recent history.

The tears start falling around 4:45, but he’s clearly on the verge from the very beginning.

It’s not clear when exactly this conversation about Young Buck’s “confusion” happened, but it was probably before Buck was yelling “Fuck G-Unit!” at shows.

Around the same time 50 was reading forum reactions to the tape and giggling, Young Buck put out a track about the split, “My Whole Life.” The forgettable track covers many of the same grievances he shares in the phone conversation, though in a tone more irritated than blubbery. If only he’d thought to let the song cry.
