Young Buck has reacted to being called the G.O.A.T of Nashville rap. The 42-year-old has certainly enjoyed an incredible career. Indeed, he is the man who first put his city on the hip-hop map during his run with G-Unit. One of hip-hop's biggest stars being from Nashville was a big deal at the time. Typically, the city is more associated with country music than as a hotbed of hip-hop. However, Buck has competition for the crown of Nashville's greatest ever rapper. Jelly Roll has also staked his claim as the best rapper to come out the Tennessee capital.
Subsequently, a clip was recently shared by Ricky Robinson’s If You Alive Subscribe Show. In the clip, Robinson says that he respects Jelly Roll. However, he didn't mince words in saying he believes Buck is the better rapper. "I know you think Jelly Roll can rap better than Buck, but he can’t,” Robinson flatly stated. “I love you, Jelly Roll, I respect you," Robinson continued. "But Buck is the G.O.A.T. in Nashville! And I’ma stand on that. Tag Jelly Roll and tell him I said that.” Robinson would further elaborate on his position in the video's caption. "I said what I said post no disrespect towards @jellyroll615 but it’s a no for me," he said.
Young Buck Creates A Legacy For His City
Additionally, Robinson argues that Buck is also better than fellow Nashville standout Starlito. "And by the way to my grind hard homies @starlitogrindhard can’t f**k with a picture of @buckshotz on No versus. let’s clear that up now," he said. For his part, Buck took to the comments to seemingly agree with Robinson's passionate assessment. Buck simply posted “#TalkYoTalk” Buck first achieved mainstream fame when he joined G-Unit in 2004.
Originally, the group had been founded by high school friends 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and Tony Yayo. Unfortunately, Yayo was incarcerated around the time the group began working on their second album. Subsequently, Buck was hand selected by 50 Cent to join the group after Yayo's imprisonment. Buck would go on to achieve superstardom with the group. Additionally, it's obvious that Buck's city still loves him for the contributions he's made.
