My Review of B.A.R.T. to the 91Siccness Compiliation (Pre-Release)

[Blutarski]

B.A.R.T. to the 91Siccness (Pre-Release)

(These songs are in no particular order when it comes to the release of the album. I also
didn't have all the production notes for each track, so I just listed whether the beat was
tight or not.)

Disc1
01. "206 Ways" - Syko, J-Dub
This is a little anthem for the 206. It has a medium paced beat to it, some good
instrumentals in the background. The lyrics are great. One of the best tracks on the
album. This is from Syko's "Sykotherapy."

02. "Cali Raised" - Lil Menance, Riko Loko, Main 1 of II Sicc
The beat is pretty good. It has a nice pace to it. I'm not sure who all these guys are, but
the first verse is pretty tight. The hook is tight and fits the track perfectly. The flows
are on point and they fit the beat well. A tight track overall, I'm feeling it.

03. "Do as I Do" - Nasty Nate, Mr. Kee, Shady Shay
A solid beat to get things started. A tight ass track right here. Nasty Nate, Mr. Kee and
Shady Shay put it down on this one. The flows are on point and come hard as fuck. A tight
ass track overall, can't really say more about it, bump it loud!

04. "Dumpin' Somthin' Sicc" - Yun-Gun, Sac-Sin
A gang of gunshots start off the track. A tight ass beat starts it off. Everyone comes
tight on this track. Just some mic rippin. I'm feeling both Yun-Gun and Sac/Sin's
flows. A clean track to start the album off with. This is from Yun-Gun's "16 Shots Bloc
2 Bloc."

05. "Makin' Moves" - Laroo, Deebo
A slower paced beat on this one. I think it needed some more background effects to it to
make it better, but it's alright. The flows by Laroo and Deebo are alright. They fit well
with the beat. I'm feeling Laroo a lot more than Deebo though. A decent track overall.

06. "Money & Game" - Game Insane
The first new track I've hard since their LP release last year. The beat is basic, but has
a tight feel to it. The flows are on point and fit perfectly with the beat. This track just
makes me want to hear more from Game Insane. A tight track overall.

07. "Natural" - NBD, Tray Sev
A slow paced beat, but it knoccs hard. NBD puts it down on this track. A slow laid back type
of track right here. It could have been a little better, but I like the slow, laid back feel
to it. A good track overall.

08. "Natural Born Playas" - Iced Out, JT The Bigga Figga, Otis, Shug
I'm not really into the background effects on this track. Sounds like a Big Hollis type of
beat. The flows are on point though and everyone rips up the mic. I like the soft vocals on
the hook too. A pretty solid track overall, except for the beat.

09. "Our Thang" - Nocturnal Hustlas
This is the first track I've hard from NH. The beat is alright, but could have been better.
The flows are simple, but fit the beat well. I like the hook mostly. A couple good verses
fit in with a decent beat make this a decent track overall. I would like to hear more from
NH though.

10. "Reality Bites" - Arsen
The beat is pretty basic for this track. Arsen certainly has a unique type of delivery. He
talks about some hardcore gunplay and some street life. The track is pretty short though, it
almost sounds like a snippit. A decent track overall.

11. "Side Show" - Caprice, Keak Da Sneak, Holy Quran, Black Mike
The beat is alright, but probably could have been a bit better. Keak Da Sneak is the only
bright spot on it. His flow is more like it was back in the 3x Krazy days. Not a very good
track at all. The only good part is Keak. The other flows can go and the beat is very basic.

12. "Theme Music to Drug Dealins" - RJ, Tac of 5150, ADR, Dretti
The beat is pretty basic for this track too, but the flows are much better. The first verse
is the best, but the other ones are pretty good too. It would have been a lot better with
some better production, but I like the flows a lot.

13. "Time of War" - Blac, Young Droop
This is basically the track called "It's a Cold Game" from Droop's Bootlegz & Collectionz
except with a few little changes. It's still a tight track though and the beat knoccs hard.
Droop comes tight on the mic and Blac has some hard flows also. A tight track overall, one
of my favorites.

14. "What You do This 4" - Dubble Negative, Chuck Chuey
A solid beat that gets your head moving. The flows are on point and fit well with the beat.
A very well put together track. The flows are tight and the beat is knoccin. A tight track
overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

15. "What You Livin 4" - San Quinn, Jiggalo, Money Hungry
A tight ass track overall. The beat knoccs hard and the flows are tight as fuck. San Quinn
starts it off with a solid verse. Jiggalo and Money Hungry don't dissapoint either. A tight
ass cut. I'm feeling it to the fullest. Bump it loud!

16. "You Don't Know Me" - Dutch
I like how the beat changes in this track. It starts with one track and on the hook the beat
changes to a faster paced one. Dutch comes with some good lyrics on the mic. I like his flow
on the hook more than his verses, but I like the lyrics he spits on his verses. A good track
to finish the first disc with.

Disc 2 Next Post VVVVVVVV

 

[Blutarski]

Disc 2

01. "Thugged Out" - J-Locc of II Sicc, Mr. Kee, Jiggalo
A cool track to start the second disc. It probably could have benefitted from a little
better production, but the flows are on point. J-Locc comes tight, Mr. Kee comes tight and
Jiggalo comes tight. Can't really say more than that. A coo track to bump.

02. "A Playaz Theme" - Decoy, Mac Nab
Decoy is really impressing me with each listening I hear of him. The beat is hard and has a
perfect pace to it. Decay starts it off with a clean verse. Mac Nab is alright, but I'm
really feeling Decoy's delivery. A tight ass track overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

03. "All Day Long" - Mr. Balistic, Kim Overstreet
A nice acuistic guitar in the background to this one. Mr. Balistic puts it down on the mic.
A lot of heart being put into this one. Kim Overstreet handles some nice female vocals on
the hook. It has a good mix of R&B and rap to it. A tight track overall, I'm feeling it to
the fullest.

04. "All the Same" - Vic Vodka, Mexi, Amanda Lee
I'm not feeling this track at all. The flows are decent, but that's as far as I'll go. The
beat is just weak and the pace doesn't go well with me. A dissapointing track overall, I
just skip it.

05. "Bay Area Knock" - Baller B, P-Dog, CJ Smooth
A tight beat on this track, it knoccs hard. The flows are pretty good to go along with it.
I'm not really feeling the last verse, but the first two are tight. A solid track overall,
I'm feeling it overall.

06. "Best Coast" - Koaz The Assassin
Way Deep lays down a knoccin beat on this track that gets your head moving. Kaoz has
some heated lyrics on this track. He flows about the West Coast. This is one of the
best tracks lyrical on the album by far. I'm feeling his style as he rips up the mic.
A tight track overall.

07. "Calm Cool Collective" - Robz, C-Note, Mr. Silverado
A pretty good beat to get things started, but that's about it. The flows are forgettable.
They try to cover it up with some computer type effects over their voices, but it just makes
them sound worse. Skip it.

08. "Deal With It" - Mr. Kee, Sic Flow, LSD
Mr. Kee is all over this compilation and with a good reason. He puts it down on this track,
just like the previous ones. The beat is tight and gets your head moving. Sic Flow and LSD
also come tight, but I'm feeling Mr. Kee the most. A tight ass track overall, I'm feeling it
to the fullest.

09. "Boss Up" - C-Nyze, Syllky, Young Double, Web
A decent beat, but I'm not really feeling the background effects. The flows are decent.
I like the second verse and that's about it. A decent track at best.

10. "Do You Want Me" - Cucizy, Denise
Denise lays down some nice female vocals on the hook, but that's about the extent of this
track. The rest is a decent beat and Cucizy trying to rap. A weak song overall, skip it.

11. "Felonious Behavior" - Mac & AK
A solid beat to get things started. Mac & AK come tight on this one. The flows are on point
and the beat fits perfectly. Can't really say more than that, just bump it loud!

12. "Gettin Dough" - V-Boy, Illegally Insane, Unafied Souljaz
Another dissapointing track. The beat is alright, but the flows do not even remotely fit
with the beat. They are going way to fast and it almost sounds like the beat has just been
laid in to add some background effect to the lyrics. A weak track overall.

13. "Gotta Touchem" - King Czar, Ammunation
A hard beat to get things started. The flows are hard as fuck also. Some hard nosed gangsta
lyrics that fit perfectly with the beat. King Czar and Ammunation come tight on the mic.
This is the first I've heard from both, but I'm already interested in hearing more from
them. A tight ass track overall, I'm feeling it to the fullest.

14. "Highley Anticipated" - Errelevent
A solid beat to get things started. Errelevent comes clean on the mic. I like his delivery
and his flows are on point. He talks about how his appearance has been highly anticpated in
the rap game. A solid track overall, I'm feeling it.

15. "How We Comin" - P.B.K.
A tight beat that gets your head moving. The flows are solid by P.B.K. The first guy comes
a lot better than the second, but together they come clean. I like them when they flow a bit
slower than a fast paced flow. A decent track overall.

16. "Keep it Gangsta" - Mista Cane
A good beat from E.Q. A harder track from Mista Cane here. A good mix of hip-hop
and gansta rap. His style fits perfectly with the beat and his flows are clean. A tight
track overall, I'm feeling it. This is from Mista Cane's "Who Am I? Now We Begin."

17. "Money Hungry" - I.K., Suga-T
A clean beat, I think by D-Sane. I haven't heard I.K.'s album, but this is making me want to
hear it. He comes tight on the mic and with Suga-T they put it down on the mic. Another
solid track from the Street Level crew. I'm feelig it to the fullest.

18. "My Entourage" - E-Money, 1/4 Spoon, D-Mac, Mr. Chu, Official
A basic beat, but it knoccs. I wasn't really feeling the flows the first time I heard the
track, but the more I hear the more I get into them. I'm not really feeling the first verse
though and same thing goes for the last verse. A solid track besides that though.

19. "Pure Playaz 2k2" - II Sicc, Deadlock Click
I think this track could have benefitted from a better beat, but the flows are on point and
come tight. The beat is just too basic for me. It needed some better background effects. I
can't deny the flows are tight though and II Sicc and Deadlock Click come tight on the mic.
A good track lyrically speaking, but the production needed a little work.

20. "Reprezentin" - Young Life
A coo little beat for this track. Young Life comes tight on the mic. He has a bit of a slow
paced beat, but it seems to get faster and faster as the track goes on. He puts it down on
the mic representing the bay, his friends in jail and in the hood. A solid track overall,
I'm feeling it.

21. "The Tree Theory" - A-Wax
A slow paced beat for A-Wax to flow to. He has some good lyrics on this track. He talks
about the ghetto life and the street life. It's a solid track, but I've heard better tracks
from A-Wax. A decent track overall.

22. "Pound" - Klosed Kasket Mafia (K.K.M.)
A good beat that knoccs, but that's about all I'm feeling. The flows are alright, but I'm
not into them at all. The hook has some soft male vocals on it, but it just doesn't fit
right. A decent track at best.

Overall this is a decent compilation. I think it's one of the those albums that has a track
that is either tight as fuck or just a skipper. There are definately tracks that knocc hard
with solid lyrics, but at the same time there are tracks that you just skip without thinking
twice. It's a good album to look at a lot of up and coming talent coming out of the Bay, Sac
and the 831 area, but I was expecting a little more from it. It's still a good pickup to see
some of the up and comers from the region.

Overall Rating = 3/5

yeah yal this is just a dose, so dont trip, there are bout 8 trax i did not give to him, they are all new, and they pretty much are the best trax on the album, they feature, c-lim, jaz, hollow tip, x-raided, and spice 1, and a few others as well.... but i didnt want to blow my load, so i just wanted blutarski to give yal an idea of what will be on it.... like he said, its alot of up and comers on it..... i cant lie, there may be songs you just skip, there may be some you keep on repeat..... this is to show off talent..... its got all different flavors of rap, so i would expect peoiple to have various ideas of what songs are good and not..... that will all be talked about when the album drops and everyone hears it.... but reguardless, i took what i was givin, that had a solid beat and solid lyrics, and the sound quality of the muzic was solid, i aint sayin every track is bangin...... but it is doin what it was meant to..... it is getting alot of no named artist out to the public for them to decide who got it on the mic...... there is alot of talent on here, and alot of cats that maybee dont go further then this album.... but i aint the judge..... thats on yal.... i think once you hear the whole album, youll give it a 4/5.... but it is a double album with 45 trax on it, honestly i cant imagina a 45 track album where every track is great...... but i do think there are a large quanity of very good songs.....


this was just a pre release, missing bout 8 songs...... it was givin to blutarski with out bein mastered and some songs have not been fully mixxed...... the album is being pressed in 2 weeks....... i will post the final track listing and release date at that time......

 

[MaddDogg]

nice review. It sounds like the comp. suffers from a lack of production...that makes it real hard to listen to new rappers when they arent layin their vocals on a dope ass track. But it looks cool...id pick it up but not for no tower records 18.99 trip.

Hey Bluntarski whats up with the Siccness Awards? I havent heard anything about em' in like a month?

 

[imported_MASTERED_TRAX]

^^^^ to be honest i think the production is pretty decent on the album but we all have opinions, like i said its a comp with 45 trax on it, i plan on having it in stores if the distributors help me get it in there around $12-14..... you really cant beat it, i dont know any album you could buy for $12 in a store let a alone a double album with big names and no names.....

if you want to see what talent is out there, pick it up.... you'll get your dose.....

it will be sold by me and the siccness for prolly $12 shipped..... tell me how that aint a great deal???

 

[Blutarski]

The production isn't weak by any means, but it could have used some work on some tracks. Shit though for $12-14 that is a good price. I would pick this album up for 12-14 bucks.

As far as the Siccness awards, well I only got like 4 people to email me back their nominees and on top of that I am hella busy with life. I got school, work, a girl and I'm coaching baseball to top it off. So needless to say I don't get as much of a chance to get on a computer as I used to. Maybe I might be able to get it going again, but I think I'll have to come up with some better format because getting all the emails just didn't work out right. We'll see though.

[GAME INSANE]

06. "Money & Game" - Game Insane
The first new track I've hard since their LP release last year. The beat is basic, but has
a tight feel to it. The flows are on point and fit perfectly with the beat. This track just
makes me want to hear more from Game Insane. A tight track overall.
