I Post You With A Passion

"This shit remind me of, like, Andre Nickatina Killa Whales type shit... foreal, foreal"

Nef The Pharaoh - Puppet Theatre
(From Vallejo Playa album; 2024)



Dre Dog - Killa Whale
(From I Hate You With A Passion album; 1995)



Here's a melancholy knock from Nef The Pharaoh's latest album which he compares to Andre Nickatina's Killa Whale. The kid really missed a trick by not AKA-ing himself as Changdre Nickatina or Nef The Fillmoe. Not sure I catch Nef's drift with that comparison tho tbh. This is more like some Andre Nickatina Ghost Of Fillmoe type shit innit? Whateva, man - Puppet Theatre best gets in where it fits in as the B-side to Don't Stop.

Just revisited I Hate You With A Passion for the first time in ages (to the point I forgot about most tracks). Killa Whale really stood out, loved it a lot alongside a few other tracks). Talk about a coincidence.

What I love about Bay Area rap is that most current and new artists still pepper their lyrics with references to their OG’s.

It's true. Very little generational too-cool-for-skool posing in NorCal Rap.

Seems like Nef is getting his groove back

Forever inconsistent, but always dependable for a at least a couple of choonz per year.
