Idolator: Young Buck

Despite Young Buck's manager claiming that his client was too much of a "real man" to respond to 50 Cent's recording of Buck crying over the phone, Buck has already released a track, "Taped Conversation," which offers his side of the story. Buck claims that the conversation was from "about a year ago" and that while the tape reveals the "emotional" side of Buck, it reveals a very unflattering side of 50. "I know you think this makes you look big, it really makes you look bad...You don't know me!" 50 Cent has since released the entire recording of their conversation, including mentions of an upcoming show in Canada this weekend, which would suggest it was not recorded "about a year ago."

50 Cent Stays Classy, Releases Tape Of Young Buck Bawling

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.

50 Cent has thrown Young Buck out of his ...

50 Cent has thrown Young Buck out of his G-Unit crew for public insubordination. While the rapper is still signed to to G-Unit records, his recent public complaints about his diminshed presence on group mixtakes struck his employer as disturbingly "Game"-like in their whininess. Said Fid: "In order to validate himself as a man, he feels he has to go against what I'm doing, similar to some of the things we've seen from Game..." And the empire of Curtis crumbles a little more.
