Young Bucks talks IRS Raid, Eminem & Dr. Dre not reaching out, and more
Posted by Mikey Fresh under quotes[47] Comments
Mikey: While current members of the G-Unit crew are off signing new major label deals, the group’s former Southern cohort has been busy going to war with Uncle Sam. Last Tuesday, news broke that IRS agents raided Buck’s Nashville home and seized a majority of his assets and possessions including jewelry, recording equipment, plaques, even his kids’ playstation (that’s cold blooded). Earlier this week, I talked to Buck on recent his tax problems, still being contractually tied to 50 Cent, not speaking to Em or Dr. Dre in years and more. (via VIBE)
The media has been reporting that you still owe $300,000 in back taxes…
I don’t owe no $300,000, they was telling me I only owe them $164,000. And they saying they were trying to create some communication with me for three years. But my accountant was 50 Cent’s accountant, my lawyer was hired through his lawyer, my manager was 50 cent’s best friend.
When’s the last time you actually spoke to Fif?
I’m still stuck contractually. I haven’t spoken to anyone from G-Unit in three years including 50 and I still have albums left over there.
Speaking of Em and Dr. Dre, have you had any kind of communication with them lately?
Dr. Dre is an individual who I wish I heard from at some point in time because his voice in my situation would means a lot. He don’t have to on my side or [50’s] side, but just say something, bro. I even told Game to say “what’s up” to Dre for me, but I haven’t heard anything.

How long exactly?
I haven’t received an email or spoken to Dre in three years.
That’s crazy; you put your life and freedom on the line for Dre at one point…
As far as the whole VIBE awards situation, I’m never looking for sympathy. But I haven’t heard from Dr. Dre or Eminem… not to say my situation is any part of their business but at a point in time I was sitting in front of these dudes. And I’m not looking for them to take sides or anything, but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what is being done to me from their artist.
[Publicist: “If you write that Buck is dissing Dre, I’ll come find you in New York]
I’m not looking to stir up nothing, I’m just speaking the truth of that situation. But I wish Em and Dre the best of luck in everything. I’m going to be alright regardless, you can’t stop this even if you put the devil in front of me. The people are just now starting to understand my situation. One of the worst things is an individual to know that a person is doing wrong and still stand behind that person. That’s who I fear—the ones that know but are getting theirs anyway with evil. Karma is real.
So have you made any progress in being released from your contract with G-Unit?
Listen, in those three years since I’ve been away from G-Unit, have you once heard 50 Cent say “I want this much for Buck to get out of his contract or anything like that?” No! So that right there should be enough to understand the kind of situation that I’m in. All I need is the support of the people right now. 50’s been on a mission to starve me out.
[Publicist: “Buck can’t discuss any legal details.”]
The media has been reporting that you still owe $300,000 in back taxes…
I don’t owe no $300,000, they was telling me I only owe them $164,000. And they saying they were trying to create some communication with me for three years. But my accountant was 50 Cent’s accountant, my lawyer was hired through his lawyer, my manager was 50 cent’s best friend. So once I was actually pushed away from that crew—I had to reconstruct my circle of people that was handling my business, and I ended up catching the backlash of that with this whole tax situation. I’m not trying to blame anyone though, I accept full responsibility, but one plus one equals two.

business is business, at the end of the day young buck and game was the 2 artist with the most selling potential on G-unit, 50 was crazy for lettin his emotions ruin the business. dre and em need to speak up, 50 got a bunch of yes men around him, no one wants to step up to him and tell him when he’s makin bad business moves. do you really think banks and yayo can carry G-unit on their backs alone? even 50 is not sellin no more. he made a bad business move getting rid of Game & buck. just my opinion

game is signed to Aftermath/Geffen/Interscope/G-Unit
Whereas Buck was signed G-Unit/Interscope
Buck is signed directly to Gunit then Interscope ; contract constructed by 50
While Game is signed through Aftermath/ Dr dre

Game sold7 mill and to interscope it was worth working a deal out also game cried to dre. That’s why buck saysbhe wishes dre would say something cause that’s similar to what dre did for game which was speak to Jimmy iodine. Bucks last cd went triple wood n nobody expects him to come out an do anything…..

if your gonna hate atleast get your info correct first
1. Buck The World Went Gold in the US which is hardly ” triple wood ” like your claiming (and was more than Rotten Apple and Blood Money sold)
2. Bucks only signed to G-unit now (cuz unlike 50 interscope actually allowed buck outta their part of his contract) so Jimmy Ivoine/Dre cant do shit about Bucks contract cuz its strictly between 50 & Buck

Game was signed to Aftermath/G-unit
So not only was 50s money involved it was Also Dres money aswell
Once 50 was no longer willing to work with Game…Dre and Jimmy still thought there was money to be made and since at that time Dre was siding with 50 they moved Game to Geffen which is a subsidiary of Interscope
Buck on the other hand is signed ti G-Unit…technically he signed to EMI with BAnks and Yayo now but he will never see the light of day
Dre and Em cant say anything to 50 cuz he doesnt listen to anyone especially those 2 at this point in time
Buck did it to him self and will now Rot until 2050 lol

Although that was a good point w/ da whole vibe awards reference to how buck was ridin’ n all dat, it looks like he’s wanting to Dre to play Captain Save A FuckUp…and Dre is a nigga dat always get to something super late…so maybe in like ‘014 he’ll chime in Buck & remember to say “thanks for ridin” while he’s at it!! Til then u are wat u’ve been for like 3yrs now bro…FUCKED!

Bucks a clown, first look I get he didnt grown up with Fifty and them, but he was riding with Juve right? They were doing nothing for him, Fifty met him and said he would come back for him when he got on, he did, he made Buck rich, famous, took him into his crew, made him someone, did all that for him, giving him money etc, so that right there, I dont care if you have beef with that man ever, the words fuck him would never come out my mouth, or anyone who is real’s mouth, now thats not saying he has to be his slave or nothing for life, they could go there separate ways if they had to, but how you come out and say Fuck G Unit, FUck 50 and talk shit like he did? He would have been Juves weed carrier, bus driver and laundry cleaning dude had Fifty not come back for him and put him on, that shows what a bitch ass Buck is.
Then he cries like a bitch on the phone, fuck him, he is broke, and is nothing, Fifty is doing him dirty to, not releasing him, but he should let him go, let him go and flop and then he cant blame nobody but whatever.
As for Em and Dre, they only fucked with you cause of 50, dude would be nothing with 50, he thinks he is owed something cause he stood up for Dre, well Dre did produce tracks on Buck the World didnt he? I dont believe Dre did any tracks for Banks 2 albums or Yayo’s album, I know Live By the Gun on Yayos album was done some said Dre did it but it was somoene in the Aftermath camp, Focus I think did it, so I dont think Dre did any tracks for Banks or yayo, but he had atleast 2 tracks on BTW I think, so thats payback enough, and Em he only fucked with you cause of 50.
They dont owe Buck shit. Fifty put you on and you bit the hand that made you, now you have to deal with it.

In all reality Buck is being starved out. He could sell his contract, and still get a percentage off of whatever is sold. Eazy E did it with Dre, Puff did it with The LOX. He’s trying to humiliate him. 50 didn’t even clear an appearance that Buck made on a B.G. record. Fif turned down $10,000- $20,000 in clearance fees so Buck couldn’t eat.
I fuck with both of them, but let’s call a spade a spade. Buck fucked up and 50 is going to hang that over his head as long as possible

Look Buck i was fucking with you bro. but you got to much into yourself and i really truly don’t feel bad for you. YOu fuck with the hand that put money in your pocket. Look Game talk shit but at the end of the day he still had to pay the unit there money. If anything you fuck yourself money and drug don’t mix at all i feel you let the drug over come you. If nothing else bro. i pray you get yourself together and if nothing else fix your business side with fif straight so you can get you business side complete. I hope and pray the best on the real but stop bitching and handle your business homie and that real. Holla at a brother i know you on the sight. peace and love to all ……

GAME is still technically 50’s artist… He’s gotta pay 50 1 million dollars NOT to put the G-UNIT logo on his CD… for starters!!! Why do u think his new album aint out yet???
Reply
August 13th, 2010 at 7:06 pm
@tayluk The reason game still got to put his record out is because he just came off selling 5 Millie. The label won’t allow Game to be shelved because of the potential money that could be made. Buck is different. Had he did this after his first album, maybe but after Buck The World bricked, it was over for him. Money talks!

He brought this on himself. He’s the one wanted to buy big cars, jewelry, cocaine, take care of disloyal “friends” and when the well reached the bottom try to bite the hand that fed him. I have no sympathy for this cat and if I was 50 I’d do the same thing.
Hey Buck, don’t be mad UPS is hiring.

what I don’t understand is why y’all are straight riding on Buck.
What happened to all his loyal fans back in the days that SWORE that Buck was so nice?
Dude has always been trash. This is REAL TALK.com. He has a couple of decent joints, but dude is simply not a caliber artist. So I really don’t give a fuck that his 15 minutes is up.

It’s sad that so many of you are happy to see another man with a child struggling. Yes-he was wrong and made some stupid mistakes-personally and financially-and is now seeing the ramifications of his actions. But I fail to see what 50 is gaining from this other than vengeance. I think Buck should be an example to any aspiring artists out there why PROPER legal representation is important in the music industry.

for the record, Dre never asked Buck to stab no one.
And I’m sure those 3 250k beats got from Dre for his 2nd album didn’t cost Buck a dime.

agreed, buck needs to grow up and stop looking for a handout..he once had millions but now he is broke because he thought it was better to blow that dough on chains and cars instead of saving it for the future…he needs to grow up and get a job. He sounds like a spoiled little brat honestly

he’s not looking for a ” Handout ”
and as far as the ” get a job ” comment he has one (he still makes more off of shows then he’d make working a 9-5 not a whole lot more but stil more and in alot less time)

Yo fuck that. 50 is out for self right now trying to act in films now after he realized he didn’t have anymore hits in his near future. I hope Young Buck is a lesson to all of you. Read all of your contracts and don’t be bamboozled by “G code” (no pun intended). Fuck that! Business is business. Handle yours with you in mind and this type of shit won’t happen to y’all. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL!!
Aside from that, this is a shame because Young Buck had or has (as evidenced by the new track) more talent than any of those bitches in G-Unit.
