Either way, Buck 65 has added one more to the heap with Situation, a concept album about 1957 and the lasting effects of that year’s events on America at large 50 years down the road. What events, you say? Situation is a 2007 studio album by Canadian hip hop musician Buck 65. It is a concept album based around the year 1957. It peaked at number 31 on.

Here’s the link to download an ‘authorized leak’ of the new Buck album Dirtbike. This is the first in a series of three, with the rest coming soon. The album is put together like Buck 65 albums of old, flowing as a continuous track, and features a few guests including collaborations with Buddy Peace, Moka Only, and Doseone. This album is dope! He even covers “Enter Governor Bolts” on here.
Lovers, I’ve been doing some woodshedding. I’ve been making beats and collecting them from some friends. I put together this thing called Dirtbike. Actually – at the risk of sounding nuts or esoteric or pretentious – the project is called Dirtbike (I figure it will be an on-going endeavor) and the first piece of it is called Lettersongs (Different Kinds of Dirt). I don’t really even understand it myself. Anyhow, it’s a new project. It’s kind of an album. It’s one very long piece and in many ways it’s a lot like the original versions of Vertex and Man Overboard. It’s an hour and ten minutes long and is very lo-fi (sounds like crap). This is just something I did on my own time for fun – like I said: woodshedding. But I didn’t work alone. My old friend and collaborator Jorun contributed an amazing beat that Moka Only raps on. Moka also contributed a beat for a part that was inspired by Vivienne Westwood’s Active Resistance Manifesto. There’s a “hook” in the song that goes “take action…”. I also had input and added production or instrumentation from: Buddy Peace, Emily Wells, Tom Inhaler, D-Styles, Skratch Bastid, Andrew Glencross and Serafina Steer. Oh yeah, and Doseone raps on a part – yes, raps. There’s a “song” about Fatty Arbuckle, one about St. Anthony the Great, one about La Golue who was featured in many Toulouse Lautrec paintings. There’s also a cover of a weird French song (in English) from the late ’70’s (maybe 1980). Anyhow, it’s a very strange, experimental, un-commercial project. I made it for my own perverted pleasures and never considered for a second that it might be a proper release. I gave a few copies to friends and that’s all I ever planned for it. Well, I tell you about all this because it’s out there. If you’re interested in hearing it, I don’t think you’d have to search on the internet very long or hard to find it. The key word is Dirtbike1/3. Before I put it together I felt as though I was sitting on around four hours worth or material of the same sort that I now plan to complete before the end of October. So there may be more of this kind of thing to come – soon. I’m also working on the “proper” follow-up to “Situation” and the Bike For Three! album will be out in January. That’s all. Hope you’re good. Buck
Label:Year: 2007Price: $10.95Format: CDNo customer reviews yet.Out of stock.DESCRIPTIONBuck 65's brand new album released on Sage Francis' Strange Famous Records! The funny thing here, you may or may not remember, a few years back Richard Terfry (Buck) was bated and led on by a journalist and quoted as saying 'I hate hip hop now,' and later continued that he'd somehow moved on, he recieved some serious backlash over the comment and one of the loudest voices speaking out against him for this comment, was Sage Francis. Buck 65 later apologized for the comment and merely wanted to end the poorly conducted interview by playing devil's advocate. While it had no effect on his fanbase, its obvious now that the apology had been accepted, he produced 'Got Up This Morning' on Human The Death Dance, even touring with Sage, who fought for The Situation to recieve a North American release in conjunction with Buck's Warner Music of Canada, after his last album, 2005's Secret House Against the World, never made it Stateside with an official release date. If you found his later material to be less hip hop and more blues-y or folk-ish, fear not, this one is much closer to Square or Man Overboard more than anything!TRACK LISTING1.Intro2.19573.Dang4.Ho-Boys5.Lipstick6.Shutter Buggin'7.Spread 'Em8.The Rebel9.Way Back When10.Cop Shades11.The Beatific12.Mr.
