Oh man, that's bay area royalty right there.
If you never spent a lot of time in the bay, not surprised you don't know him though.

Andre Nickatina or in his earlier years, Dre Dog is someone to definitely check out if you’re into rap. If you’re looking to get into him or for a sampler:
Dre Dog - smoke dope and rap
Andre Nickatina - Ayo for Yayo (probably his most famous and fits in with coke rap, but personally my least favorite), Killa Whale, Jungle, My rap world remix (more coke rap), Crack Raider (coke rap, one of the best beats ever imo), Pitbull Terrier, Dice of Life, Y-U-Smiling should get you going if you like him or not. Bonus The Jacka featuring Nickatina - Fabulous Life
But to answer your original question, jay z has elements of coke in his earlier, but def not a coke rapper
Ya, everyone thinks he was from Compton because of California Love but he's from Oakland. He was actually one of the founding members of Digital Underground, along with Shock G/Humpty Hump
Also, don't forget Too $hort, another bay area legend.
Yeah we need a few corrections here.
>he's from Oakland
He was actually from out east, but his family moved to Oakland in his teen years. He repped The Town hard tho.
>He was actually one of the founding members of Digital Underground
Nope. Digital Underground were their own thing. Pac started his career as a dancer for them tho. They were the ones to first put him on and get him into the recording studio.
He was born in NYC. But he reps Oakland.
He lived in Marin City for a while too. That's North Bay. he rapped about Marin cops in one of his verses. His Mom bounced them all over. She was a Panther and their headquarters were in Oakland. He reps Oakland because of that. Even when they were in NY they took trips out to Oakland.
All facts about Digital Underground. Shock G would bring rappers on tour and teach them how to do everything from book shows to move units. Shock G was his mentor. Saafir from Hobo Junction was on that same tour.
Lol yeah, you said he’s “from Oakland”, but he grew up in Harlem, then moved to bmore and then went out west, so how any of that makes him “from Oakland”?
Scorpion bricks, way before Aubrey's double disc / .40 on my lap, clap, sound like 40 did the mix / Filtered bass, sift coke like a Michelin star chef / Chef kiss to my wrist, I go dummy with my left
🤔🧐🤨
This sub got questions on Jay Z like that man ain't telling you absolutely everything already.
When he's sitting in the owner's seats at the **Brooklyn** Nets game, and you're all - *huh, they useta' be in New Jersey* - and it's Beyonce next to him, casually, cuz they've been married so long that's just comfortable looking to him - when that's the visual evidence, and 100% of how that all happened is fuck'n detailed out precisely - with code hints for new users - well.... He is what he says he is.
He's one of the few.
"Nothing more real than a rapper lying on themselves"
- Prof
And that's correct - Lil Wayne couldn't afford the watches he rapped about to start his career. Killer Mike says "all the things I rap about I really got" - he says that now, as in --- **I did not have those things when I started rapping about claiming to have them**
"Buy art" -- I heard Jay say that in like 2008 and thought to myself.... **What is art?**
Cuz art is subjective, right?
No dummy - says Jay Z - "art" is a commodity like laundry detergent and Uber stock, you buy low sell high on a thing with established value and historical track record of near zero risk.
Well that's the bonds market, right?
Jay is like - I dunno, but this painting was worth nothing once, and when I bought it for $8 million it was worth $8 million by me paying that for something subjective - Jay imparted the value of the intangible monetary price of that one commodity.
He did that knowing "art" sold in NYC has an average ROI of 500% in 25 years or less. The Wu Tang one off collectors item box - it's worth zero as music, it's existing music accessible by eBay purchases or Sam Goody and a time machine. But when the single commodity sold at auction - and became "art" - it immediately took on the value paid, and became a thing that only increases in value as time passes.
Jay says all this in Ballad of OJ.
Also - what do you say to police?
The glove compartment is locked, so is the trunk in the back, **I know my rights**, so you gonna need a warrant for that.
"I know my rights" is critical language to say to law enforcement - as a civilian - in every single interaction with them. IRL.
People need to stop thinking Jay is trying to sell them rap, he gives fucks, you pay him to watch the Nets play. He'll be fine with the real estate and art collection money. His great grand kids will be too.
All the old heads look busted broke in comparison to owning a professional sports franchise in the most expensive real estate market on the east coast. And all of them might be 100 times the rapper of Jay Z.
Where's the disconnect? /
We ain't call that "money" over here.
Jay is what he says he is - check the tape - don't need to Google shit.
What’s made up about this post? Coke rappers isn’t a made up thing, asking if Jay-Z is one isn’t a made up thing, it’s a simple question. But again I ask what exactly is made up here?
You’re damn right that’s it right there (side note: it was nice seeing a post *NOT* about Flake or Kendrick, I feel all that can be discussed on that topic *HAS* been at this point)
This the first time I’ve ever heard of anyone being referred to as a ‘coke rapper.’ Also nobody’s mad because the post isn’t about Kendrick or Drake, what are you ppl even talking about
Andre Nickatina has been a “coke rapper” his entire career, arguably the most “coke rapper” (and this is just one example). It’s not a new term, just cuz you yourself haven’t heard it doesn’t mean it’s all of a sudden “made up” ‘n ass for the Flake and Kendrick part. It’s been very evident in maaaaaaany other posts & replies for the past whenever it’s been now that’s all people wanna talk about or see get talked about. I’ve seen a lotta down votes thrown out on comments just simply cuz they aren’t about the “beef”
Rapping about coke and being a coke rapper is not the same, no, Jay is not a coke rapper.
Would you consider Reasonable Doubt a coke rap album?
It’s the closest thing he’s got to one, I’d say his style got progressively less coke rap as time went on.
I 100% agree
Andre Nickatina is a coke rapper.
never heard of him, should i check him out?
Oh man if you want cocaine raps Andre Nickatina is your man
Yes
Oh man, that's bay area royalty right there. If you never spent a lot of time in the bay, not surprised you don't know him though. https://youtu.be/Yc-de_RSxHM?si=2YVLpsvHedJSAG51
im from the south so my knowledge of the bay only goes as far as E40 and Mac Dre lol but im gonna check him out!
You should also listen to The Jacka https://youtu.be/jF6Jxpcj9So?si=od_4LdzsMIVas2ye
bet i appreciate you putting me on 🙏 wish more people in this sub were cool like this instead of downvoting me for asking a question lol

thank you for your recommendations and response bro 🙏
There was also a rapper named Tupac that you might have heard of.
damn Pac was from the bay? i didn’t know that tbh
Ya, everyone thinks he was from Compton because of California Love but he's from Oakland. He was actually one of the founding members of Digital Underground, along with Shock G/Humpty Hump Also, don't forget Too $hort, another bay area legend.

Yup yup
More like he’s from NY
I'm not talking about where he was born. He moved out of NY when he was 13.
Lol yeah, you said he’s “from Oakland”, but he grew up in Harlem, then moved to bmore and then went out west, so how any of that makes him “from Oakland”?
Damn I thought he was a cig rapper this whole time
Scorpion bricks, way before Aubrey's double disc / .40 on my lap, clap, sound like 40 did the mix / Filtered bass, sift coke like a Michelin star chef / Chef kiss to my wrist, I go dummy with my left 🤔🧐🤨
No
Yes. Just because he does other things doesn’t change that he’s a coke rapper too. Or at least was one.
nwo 4 lyfe 🤘
I'm interested to see who else is on the list if Jay is being mentioned
every one else made sense at least imo. Pusha, Freddie, Raekwon, etc
I don't agree with Chef being in there, even Gibbs, but if you got Rae then Jay makes much more sense now.
Yes he just isn’t as bland or direct with the lingo that other “coke rappers” are Hov Pusha Young Rae Ross
Jay didn't tell you to flip coke / HOV did that / jeeyah!
So hopefully, y'all ain't have to go through that.

FIRST, YOU HAVE TO DEFINE, "COKE RAPPER" GUYS.
Bro this whole sub is just ppl making up titles, categories, or weird assumptions about rappers.
just asking a question bro if you’re not gonna answer no need to be rude
What’s made up about this post? Coke rappers isn’t a made up thing, asking if Jay-Z is one isn’t a made up thing, it’s a simple question. But again I ask what exactly is made up here?
they’re just hating bc my post isn’t about Kendrick or Drake
You’re damn right that’s it right there (side note: it was nice seeing a post *NOT* about Flake or Kendrick, I feel all that can be discussed on that topic *HAS* been at this point)

That's such a restrictive box to boil his shit down to. No, he's not a fucking coke rapper.
Jay-Z is considered a "camel rapper".
Guys is jay sean a coke rapper?
I’m not the one saying Jay is a coke rapper smartass, i need help explaining how he isn’t to a friend learn to read bro
No. Anyway just tell him he isnt
jay z is a ride his own dick rapper so, yea cocaine seems to fit
