Picks of the Week 2
Andre Nickatina At Hard Rock
|
August 10, 2011 | 11:59 AM In the Nickatina of Time
Saturday (August 13), 2pm (all ages)/10pm (21+), Hard Rock Cafe, Lahaina; $30
Rap luminary Andre Nickatina (born Andre Adams, FKA Dre Dog) is back on the Valley Isle--this time as a double-feature headliner. (Most recently he played the Hard Rock touring as Mickey Avalon's opening act, last December.) Rhyme-pining youngins will be pleased to know there's an all-ages show on Saturday (Aug.13) at 2pm--the wafting sounds of which, I'm sure, will provide delightful augmentation to White Stag-clad tourists' Front Street maundering--followed by a 21+ show at 10pm. Rarely granting interviews, Nickatina's earned an enigmatic rep and has been heralded for his quick wit. One fun fact that digs back to the beginning of Nickatina's professional career is that his earliest effort The New Jim Jones (a 1993 indie record, then under his nom de plume Dre Dog) was re-released in 2006 without its original, controversial crucifixion cover imagery. If you're thinking album's title might reference the rapper Jim Jones, think again. See, Jones the rapper didn't debut until 2004 (with On My Way To Church) and Jim Jones the cult leader (who in 1978 coerced more than 900 of his followers to commit suicide in Jonestown, Guyana) is way more famous anyway. With such a provocative start, it was no holds barred for Nickatina there on out. His follow-ups include I Hate You With A Passion (1995), Tears of Clown (1999) and Conversations with a Devil: Cocaine Raps, Volume 3 (2003); and his latest, Kahn! The Me Generation his record store shelves last April. [874-8199; hardrockcafe.com / luckymanhawaii.com]
