“Knuck if you buck, boy.” Oh, snap! Brace yourself for a fight, as the Atlanta rap collective Crime Mob asserts on the banger, “Knuck If You Buck”.  The Mob enlists Lil Scrappy for the catchy and repetitive hook excerpted above. “Knuck” appeared on Crime Mob’s self-titled 2004 album. Despite a modest showing on the pop charts (number 76 on the Billboard Hot 100), it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2006.  Fun fact: This is the only song by Crime Mob that has received a plaque from the RIAA.

“Knuck” features hardcore, dirty south production from Lil Jay and Doc Jam. The instrumental is dark, set in a minor key.  Minimalist, the colorful looped synth and banging beat pack a mean punch.  Each member unapologetically delivers compelling cadences and flows. Following Scrappy’s hook, Lil Jay kicks off the first verse. Memorably, he’s “Throwin’ them ‘bows up at these hoes / They screamin’, they bleedin’ from they nose.” Elbows can cause some serious damage! In the second verse, Princess “Pack heat like Saddam Hussein, Hitler, and Osama bin Laden.” Damn, girl! M.I.G. brings the fight to the fourth verse, spitting, “In my eyes, you wasn’t wise, I think it’s time I knuck you, ho.” In the fourth verse, Diamond raps, “Now we knuckin’ and buckin’ ‘cause I got a nine / I’ll blow you away, ‘cause you wastin’ my time.” Killa C caps things off, “Fuckin’ with no hoes, ain’t never been no lames / Ain’t never been no pussy, niggas scared to throw them things, mane.” Crime Mob brings the fire on “Knuck If You Buck”, no cap!
