1. No Gimmiks
Great way to start the album. It immediately sets the tone. The beat from D-Sane is knocking. Tight X-Raided sample for the chorus. Sarkastik is talking about his lyrics and just giving it to you straight. The only problem is that I wish it was longer because its so tight but it’s the intro so whatever. 9.5/10
2. I’m
The beat by Funk Daddy is real hard. Sarkastiks lyrics are hard also, they fit the beat perfectly. Tight chorus. Hes rapping about what he is and does. Great samples at the end of the song from a few of his old songs on the Sarkazm cd. One of my favorites on the whole cd. I can bump it all day. 10/10
3. Blaze Blocks
Another tight song. The beat from D-Sane is banging once again and it will get you energized and just nodding your head. Hard lyrics once again. On this song he is talking about what he does on his block. I can also bang out this cut everyday. 10/10
4. I’ve Been Gone
The beat from Sarkastik this time is slower and has a dark feeling to it. His delivery really fits the beat. I’m digging the sound effects. One of my favorite lines on this song “Fuck a punch line, fuck a freestyle/ I’ll punch you in the eye and we’ll see if your doctor bill is free now.” This ones talking about how hes been gone but he hasn’t stopped paying his dues and what others have been doing bad. I’m feeling it once again. 9/10
5. Mr. Troy
This ones about him being Kastor Troy but you gotta call him Mr. Troy. Hes not just your average person. His delivery is coming hard again, whaddaya expect? The beat from D-Sane is pretty good and it has a dark feeling to it again. Still feeling it. 9/10
6. End Of My Rope
The beat was made by Sarkastik and starts out pretty good. Hes talking about being at the end of his rope and losing faith. Also some stuff that has gone wrong. “Now I’m in White Center with a red belt and khakis/I’m running for my life ‘cause the Asians is shooting at me” was a good line. It was also pretty funny when the beat stopped and his mom yelled at him to take out the garbage. The lyrics are really good are some are sort of funny. I’ll be bumping this a lot. 9/10
7. Therapy Pt. 1
It begins with a psychiatrist talking to him telling him that he is very irrational and asks him why he is so mad which is pretty funny. Sarkastik is talking about why he needs therapy. He can’t take it and is frustrated with a lot of things. The beat is pretty coo, it fits his style real well once again. I’m feeling it. 9/10
8. My Main Girl featuring Koalition
This is a weed song. Mary Jane is his main girl. “Now I got you back, and I don’t know how to act/ when I see you banging that see through skirt I call sack” is one of my favorite lines. The beat from Scronnie Johnny, D-Skeem and Sarkastik is on point, mellower on this one. I’m feeling it. 9/10
9. This Evening featuring 151, Savell & K.J.
Not feeling the beat as much on this one. This is a club song where Sarkastik is talking about what he’s going to do for the night. His lyrics are on point and I’m feeling them, I’m just not feeling the beat as much or the chorus. I’ve heard 151 spit better. Overall it’s an alright song. 7/10
10. That’s My Dream
This song also appears on Bullets North Coast Rain. This song is pretty hysterical. In the chorus he talks about wanting plastic surgery on his nose, wanting cars, sold out shows and money. This was pretty funny “Now I’m all screwed, grew up without the dude/always confused not knowing it’s wrong to walk around nude” The beat from Sarkastik is tight. I’m feeling it. 10/10
11. No 1 Live As Me
The D-Sane beat starts out tight. The lyrics are tight. He’s talking about no one being as live as him. The chorus is tight, he spits pretty hard. Overall another tight song. I’m feeling it. 10/10
12. Underground Success featuring Skuntdunanna
Skunt spits first. His lyrics are one of the tightest in the northwest. This verse makes me want his album even more which I’ll be getting asap. Sarkastiks lyrics are tight also. They’re talking about being themselves and underground successes. In the last verse they go back and forth which is tight. I’m feeling it. 9.5/10
13. Krackin’
The beat starts out hard. He talks about keeping it krackin’. He spits hard with the beat. Need I say more? I’m feeling it. 9.5/10
14. Infectious Game featuring Crytical & Syko
WOW!!! This beat is from D-Sane and is my favorite beat on the whole album which was pretty hard to choose since 90% of them knocked hard. Crytical spits first and he’s heated. Next is Syko with a tight verse, then Sarkastik. This is one of my favorite songs that any 3 of them have ever been on. They talk about rappers having infectious game and ruining it for others by all their hating. I’m feeling it. 10/10
15. World Of Hate featuring Wanz
Sarkastik starts spitting while the beat starts up. The beat by D-Sane is tight. Wanz sings on the chorus and is very good. I don’t like singing that much but Wanz is tight. Sarkastik talks about how the world has done him wrong. I’m feeling it. 9.5/10
16. One Mo Gin
The beat is alright, another dark feeling beat. Sarkastik comes with a lot of energy on the chorus. He’s basically at it again on a mission trying to get what he needs. I’m feeling it. 9/10
17. Therapy Pt. 2
The beat is different from Therapy Pt 1 and is tight. Once again he talks about needing therapy. Some lyrics are funny on this one too. I’m definitely feeling it. 9/10
18. I’m Right Here
The beat is very tight and will get your head nodding and feeling it. This song is in my top 3 favorites on the album. Sarkastik is talking about how hes here and wants other rappers/haters to bring it. It’s great song to end the album. 10/10
Overall 9.3/10
This cd is a Northwest classic. I can listen to the cd the whole way through. There was only one single song that I didn’t feel that much. Sarkastiks delivery, lyrics, and voice were on point. He never disappointed. This will be in play for months to come. I HIGHLY recommend this cd to anyone wherever you’re from. This is one of my favorite cds ever. The production on this was banging too. The beats were knocking. Congratulations to Sarkastik for his lyrics on this and D-sane and all the other producers for creating this masterpiece.
