Young Buck Post?

Usually I don't fucs with anyone associated to G-Unit but seeing as 50 himself said in a interview "Buck is no longer a part of the group G-unit but is signed to the G-Unit Music Label". This all coming after speculation of Buck's leaving or wanting to leave for awhile now. Culminating with his allegations that he has yet to see a royaly check. Nice move if you ask me. Anyways heres a video(Lose My Mind)off his upoming dvd "A Billion Bucks"
