Since 50 Cent announced that Young Buck had been dropped from the G-Unit group, but remained signed as a solo artist, fans have been wondering whether the relationship would ever mend to the point that Buck would be able to release another solo album.  In any case, it’s safe to assume that the Cashville native doesn’t give a Buck about his major-label career.  Why would that be so?  ‘Cause he’s so head-over-heels for his street roots that his favorite sound is the “ping-ping” of shell casings hitting the pavement—as he says, ya Gotta Love It!  As the rapper reminisces about his first love, Bellyflop serves up a reflective, downtempo beat that makes the record perfect background music for just about any activity.  Though the names Curtis Jackson, Christopher Charles Lloyd, and Marvin Bernard are likely to inspire automatic one-stars from many Booth-heads, fans can rest assured that David Darnell Brown won’t stop making quality street music anytime soon.

The piano on this production works beautifully. Surprisingly, Buck's rough vocals work well over it (except the hook, which drowns it out a lil too much). I could def listen to this again.

Always been a fan of Buck. This production suits the song well and he spits some good lyrics over it. I haven't really followed this whole controversy so I don't know too much about what's going on, but I sure as hell hope he releases another album.

I love sincere, soulful street music. This is definitely a hot joint.

The production is off the chains. He should have got someone else to sing the hook part though.

Good joint though. I think Buck should just drop a free album or an album independently (but I suppose that's against the terms of his contract....Fif is such a lame)

Someone e-mailed me the day this dropped and told me they felt it reminded them of 2pac. I wouldn't go that far - BUT - it really does have a personal feel.

Pac was able to speak directly to his listeners; if you listen to "Gotta Love It," Buck has that personal touch. His storytelling is compelling.

Big props to Bellyflop who killed this soulful production.

HAHA!!! Never mind! I have previled over the technology!! Mwa ha!! *Ahem* Anyways...

@GStan10 - Yep. Hence the incredible mood I am in right now. :)

Now this song...brring my good mood, this song is not all that amazing. The production, as Z said, is incredible. Buck's flow is just...not worthy of such production. It could have been used in a much better way by another artist. But, I will put this in rotation, nonetheless.

DJ Z, I have been saying that about book ever since I saw this one performance. He just reminded me of Pac so much. I think he could have the power to rise to that ability if he gets with the right people to make it happen.

I like this.. solid production, and that nice melodic flow from Buck. I'd really like to hear more from him.. maybe a new LP? Not looking like that will happen anytime soon.

@BDF44 - Wow, thnks, fam. That means a lot comin from one of my fellow Residents. :)

@MichealHannah - It's interesting that you say that. After listening to Pac's music (which I did all because of that Eminem/2Pac debate, by the way), I must say that he does resemble Pac in a sense. BUT!! He still has a ways to go before he can be considered to rap at Pac's level.

I can see the Pac similarities, but Buck is far from Pac as it currently is. I've liked Buck, but the whole G-Unit thing was sorta ruining it for me; say what you want, I can listen to the music if it's dope, but there are times you just can't respect someone at all. Hate is far from a good thing in any situation, so I wouldn't go that far. I'd leave it at a lack of respect.

I still play a good deal of Buck tracks, off his last album and especially "New York City".

i havent heard good ish like this from Buck in a loooong time...He fell of my radar for a min but he's back baby...i agree with young son about letting someone else sing the hook (i think lloyd would be a good choice) for some reason i keep thinking that the piano in the back and lloyds voice would be amazing...
production itself if phenomenal!!! Classic in my book

This a good song here. Beat is bangin and Buck is on point as usual. The only thing that keeps this from a 5 star rating is the chorus, im not really feelin it. Other than that, its a great track. 4.5

Young Buck always comes through. The production came correct and Buck did what he does best, get personal. And for the whole pac comparison, Buck definitely does try to with songs like All Eyes On Me. But he get as deep as Pac does and can be as street. The thing that kills it for him is the whole G-Unit thing.
