This Right Here Is Buck 65 is a 2005 compilation album by Buck 65, intended as an "introduction" to Buck 65 rather than as a "best of."

The compilation is formed of acoustic versions of previously released songs, including a number from the album Talkin' Honky Blues (2003) and others, as well as some new tracks. This album represents a change in musical direction for Buck 65, from hip hop towards more folk and blues-oriented pieces.

This Right Here Is an EP

In order to promote the album, an exclusive EP was made. The EP contained four tracks: "Wicked and Weird" from Talkin' Honky Blues; a remix of "The Centaur" from the 12" single; a remix of "Sore" from Talkin' Honky Blues only found on the "Sore" single; and an a cappella version of the second verse from the song "Achilles and the Tortoise", from the 1999 album Man Overboard.

The Centaur

The track "The Centaur" features cleaned-up lyrics (although mainly minor edits); Notable changes include changing the passage "I have so much to say/ but nobody listens/ because my cock is so big/ and the end of it glistens" to "...because my clock is so clean/ and the hour hand's missing", and the line "all they care about is my big dick" to "all they care about is my undercarriage".
