His debut album from '92 is a certified monster...
I saw someone on here the other day posting something about playing basketball in Shipe Park here in Austin...well, Spice 1's 187 He Wrote was the resounding soundtrack to the Shipe Park basketball courts circa '93-'94. But hmmm, I wonder if young Texas rap fans nowadays have any clue who Spice 1 is. I mean, here he is with Chingy and some other unknown loseur from Bun B's Draped Up video shoot...
Better yet, maybe we can get the Pilsbury Dough Boy's cousin's sister-in-law who just happens to teach at a pre-k daycare in Rockridge to find out if Oakland is still even vaguely familiar with the East Bay Gangster-isms of the one S-P-I-C-E.

a great album.
D-Boyz Got Love For Me Featuring E-40, Strap On The Side, Hard To Kill Featuring Method Man. Shit I consider Jealous Got Me Strapped one of Pac's best songs.
Spice 1 has some heat on all his albums. Plaese to not fuck with the East Bay G.
I always liked Face of a Desperate Man.
also dope.
BTW I am admittedly a bit disconnect from that scene, but do people really take this dude "Chingy" seriously? I just remember that one lame single with the gimicky chorus. Are the streets feeling the one laughably known as "Chingy"?
PS Spice Spiggidy 1's Laker's jersey is NAGL.
It's a Payton jersey though...i.e. make the connection.
that tape was the soundtrack to my summer before 7th grade...until my parents found it and took it away. i guess they thought songs about setting bitches on fire in car trunks might be a bad influence.
When they did a hit it took them both to drive.
Didn't use nothin' fast like a Vetta or a Jag;
Did a drive-by in a Muthafuckin' Drop Top ZigZag.
Coke and his Sister Mary Jane,
On Marijuana block drinkin' 40s to the Brain....
That rhyme always stuck with me. I'll ride for the first record, and the days of my walkman.
and i have most of his LPs and singles...
