Thanks to Buck 65 and his album Situation, at least this one listener will consider hip hop music to be something other than the negative. Buck 65 has produced an amazingly well crafted and uniquely individualistic album that is quite simply a fine production. Situation is an album that is a cut above the rest and is so varied in terms of sound the listener is guaranteed to be impressed by the musical production on the album if nothing else. 3 people found this helpful. This whole album is excellent with the exception of "Dang". The only song I don't like. I saw Buck 65 live at the Middle East in November and was much better than i thought he would be.

Warner/Strange Famous). It's an aesthetic that has served him well, but on his 11th album, things have got more than a little stale. As ever, Buck 65 is keen - perhaps too keen - to ensure that the listener realises how much of an outsider he is. This is a pose that swiftly gets tiresome, especially when it involves namechecking Che Guevara. But what hurts Situation most is the sense of deja vu about his tales of freaks, graveyards and other standard blues imagery
