Young Buck didn’t waste a single bar in this freestyle 😮‍💨🔥

In 2003, G-Unit stepped into BET’s “Rap City: Tha Basement” with Big Tigger and traded verses over the instrumental from 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Runnin’.”

The timing made the session even more important. By 2003, Young Buck had joined G-Unit and brought a Nashville voice to a group whose foundation was in Queens. Their debut album “Beg for Mercy” followed in November, making this freestyle a snapshot of the group as one of hip-hop’s biggest runs was beginning.

The “Rap City” booth became an important part of hip-hop television because it placed the focus on delivery, presence and personality. Buck’s energy and Southern cadence helped him stand apart while still fitting naturally beside 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks.

More than two decades later, this remains one of the clearest examples of what Young Buck brought to G-Unit’s early sound.

What are y’all rating this Young Buck freestyle out of 10? 🤔⁉️
