Sarkastik-"No Gimmiks, No Image, Straight Lyriks"

1. No Gimmiks, No Image, Straight Lyriks- Tight beat laced by D-Sane. This is obviously the title track, and Sarkastik puts it down on this track. His aggressive style and voice go well with the beat. This is a good first track. 8/10

2. I'm- This is a tight beat laced by Funk Daddy. Sarkastik eats up this beat real well. Talkin about who he is, hense the songs name. This is one of my favorite tracks on this album. 8/10

3. Blaze Blocks- This is a faster paced, hard hittin beat laced by Mr. D-Sane. Sarkastik spits a little bit faster over this beat and spits nothin' but heat throughout this track. 8/10

4. I've Been Gone- The beat starts out with a heart beating, then starts into the actual beat. The beat seems to be missing something to me. It's a cooh beat, but not my favorite. However, the lyrics on this song make up for the lacking beat. Sarkastik comes real tight on this track. 7/10

5. Mr. Troy- Another tight beat, some hard hittin rap shit laced by D-Sane. Sarkastik's style fits this beat very well in my opinion. He's got that rugged voice with the aggressive flow, and it matches the beat perfectly. This is a tight ass cut. 9/10

6. End of My Rope- Another sick ass beat laced by D-Sane. It's got a commercial type feel to it, but it's still a savage beat. Sarkastik once again comes tight on this track. He rides the beat perfectly and spits some tight ass lyrics. This is just another one of the slumps on the album. 9/10

7. Therapy Pt. 1- Intro of the song is real tight. The beat is pretty tight, its got a different feel than the rest of the beats. Sarkastik comes with more heat on this track. He's just straight clownin' on this track. 8/10

8. My Main Girl feat. The Koalition- This is a slower to medium paced beat. It's got an R&B feel to it. Not really feelin the beat. Sarkastik comes tight on this track tho, the lyrics never lack. This is a cooh weed song lyricly, but the beat didn't impress me that much. 6/10

9. This Evening feat. 151, Savell, & K.J.- This is a layed back hip-hop/R&B style beat. The beat is cooh and the singing on this track is tight. Everyone that spits a verse on this track comes tight. They all bring their own style to the track, and when it's all combined it makes a tight song. 8/10

10. That's My Dream- Filthy beat...some shit that really compliments Sarkastik's whole style. Sarkastik came sick on this cut as he always does. This is one of my favorite songs on the album. The song talks about what his "dreams" are.
10/10

11. No 1 Live As Me- This is a harder rap beat laced by D-Sane once again. Sarkastik's style and D-Sane's beats always go together well. Sarkastik spits some raw shit on this track. This is a sick ass track. 9/10

12. Underground Success feat. Skuntdunanna- This is a pretty tight beat laced by Skunt aka Mafia. Sarkastik and Skunt both come filthy on this track, this is definately one of my favorite songs on the album. 10/10

13. Krackin'- Darker, rap/rock-ish style beat. I'm not really diggin the beat, but it goes well with Sarkastik's voice. Sarkastik spits heat on this track as well, even though the beat isn't the best, his lyrics make up for it. 7/10

14. Infectious Game feat. Syko & Crytical- This is a real filthy beat by D-Sane. Crytical starts out this track with some heat, a very good start to the song. Syko comes next on the line and as usual, he spits a savage verse. After the chorus, Sarkastik comes in rippin' shit up. This track is hard as fuck. I'm diggin it 206%! 10/10

15. World of Hate feat. Wanz-The beat starts out feelin' eerie and then it starts beatin. This is a real tight beat once again by D-Sane. Sarkastik's voice and style sound perfect over this beat. Wanz adds his sick ass vocals on this one, which makes the song even better. 10/10

16. One Mo Gin- This is another hard ass beat laced by D-Sane. I'm diggin this beat especially with Sarkastik spittin to it. This track just comes off raw as fuck for some reason, another one of my favorite songs. 10/10

17. Therapy Pt. 2- The beat for this has a harder, hip-hop feel to it, but it's pretty savage. Sarkastik rides the fuck out of the beat and spits fire all over the track. I'm feelin this track more so than Pt. 1. 9/10

18. I'm Right Here- This beat has a eerie feeling to it, hard hittin, some of that sick ass D-Sane shit. Sarkastik comes raw as fuck on this track, it's unbelievable that he can come tighter on each song. This is by far my favorite song on this album. A perfect end to a savage ass album. 10/10

Overall, this is a hard (solid) album. I'm feelin' it to the fullest and I recommend that everyone swoop this shit. I am very impressed with Sarkastik's skills on this album.

Rating: 9/10
