"by far, andre nickatina bka dre dog is the most underappreciated rapper alive in my opinion. you have rappers like mase and puff who have no skills, but money rather to back them up and make them famous, yet andre nickatina has pure raw skills to make everyone bop their head and remember his lines. i am fortunate enough to have all of his albums, i hate you with a passion, raven in my eyes, the new jim jones, tears of a clown and cocain raps. i reccomend you do everything you can to get all of his albums because you will never grow old and tired from his songs. hes a lyrical wizard who definately deserves a shot if you are a underground rap fan. be on the look out for his upcoming album cocain raps 2: the daquiri factory."

"andre nickatina bka dre dog is bluntly a under appreciated lyrical wizard. there are many rappers, but few possess the lyrical skills which dre dog has. you see wannabe rap artists like mase and puff on mtv and what not, but they have no skills, but rather money to back them up and make them famous, and thats what ticks me off. its people like mase and puff who shouldnt be known at all and its people like dre dog who should be world famous. i am fortunate enough to have all of dre dogs albums: i hate you with a passion, raven in my eyes, the new jim jones, tears of a clown and cocain raps. every single album, including his upcoming album (cocain raps 2: the daquiri factory) are a must buy. you will never grow tired of his songs because when you listen to any of his songs, you are bound to hear a lyric or so that will get stuck in your head. his lyrical skills combined with ill beats make for an awesome rapper who will keep your head bobbin for as long as you own his albums."
Most underrated rap album...

"I've been fan of West Coast rap since NWA. I discovered this cd in high school, and it still is one of my all-time favorites. This album, along with "I Hate You With a Passion" are, in my opinion, Dre Dog's (now Andre Nickatina) best albums. "Smoke Dope and Rap" is probably one of the best rap songs of all time; Dre Dog's raps are just unreal. Good beats, original and distinct rhymes make this cd the deal. Do yourself a favor and get this."
If you like Bay Area or Underground Rap Listen to this

"Dre Dog aka Andrea Nickatina aka Jim Jones comes tight on this album. His beats are some of the sickest around and his vocals are dope as they come. This was Dre Dog's first album and one of his best. My favorite track on this album is #4 Smoke Dope and Rap. Other favorite tracks of mine are #3 The Ave # 8 Jim Jones posse and #2 Most Hated Man In Frisco. Dre Dog also comes mad tight with a freestyle on track #5 Off the Chewy. If you like this album Check his second Relase I Hate You With a Passion. Unlike some clowns seem to believe Dre Dog has other albums out. He now goes by the name of Andrea Nickatina. I think only reason Dre Dog blown up big is because he is from the Bay Area and a lot of Bay Area rappers don't get much expousre."
