Hip-Hop Listening Club of the Week #232 - Andre Nickatina aka Dre Dog - The New Jim Jones

Posted: 18 Apr 2017 04:40 PM PDT

Welcome to HHH Listening Club!

This week we'll be listening to Andre Nickatina - The New Jim Jones

Here's a quick introduction to the album:

This was the debut album of Dre Dog, the rapper from San Francisco who later changed his name to Andre Nickatina. Dre is probably most famous in his career for his raps about caine, and this is what he talked about right from the start, including the first song on this tape.

One notable part of Dre Dog's 1993 release is the samples used on 'The Ave' and 'Lips'. The beats on these songs are nearly identical to 'Juicy' and 'Big Poppa' by Biggie. That said they were both very common samples at the time and Dre/Biggie were far from the first or last to use them.

The album has one of his best songs 'Smoke Dope and Rap', a song who's intro samples the bay area classic Don't Give Me No Bammer Weed by RBL Posse.
