Live Review: Andre Nickatina W/ Cool Nutz, Prof and Mumbls
Friday April 27th, 2012
Fortune Sound Club

The white boys were in full effect for Andre Nickatina’s sold out show at Fortune Sound this past Friday. Making his way to Vancity for the first time on his “Where’s My Money Tour”, nostalgic fans packing in the club by the hundreds for some real West coast underground rap. Openers Cool Nutz, Prof and Mumbls got the crowd started until they were ready and hyped for the man of the night.

Dre Dog didn’t fuck around. Without much delay, he stepped on stage and went hard from start to finish demanding to know “Where all my weed smokers at?” from the jump. The crowd went bananas chanting “put the phone on your butt it’s a booty call” for “Scottie 15” while throwing up deuces for “Ate Miles From The City Of Dope” and “Fa La La La”. A predominantly male audience seemed to rap along to every word of the coked out Fillmore anthem “Ayo for Yayo” and even spit the N-word without shame during most of “Crack Raider Razor”.

A tribute to fallen solider Mac Dre had Nickatina stepping away from the mic for a minute while the DJ dropped “Since ’84”. “Are there any Pisces in the house?” he asked before going hard on “Killa Whale” and eventually finishing off the night with “Fly Like A Bird”.

A sharp and lively performance had Nicky on and off the stage in 50 minutes leaving the audience craving more. Vancity being one of two Canadian cities on his tour Andre Nickatina no doubt left everyone in Fortune Sound feeling privileged to have seen such an epic performance from this West Coast marvel.
