e-a-ski used to make some crazy tracks for him. and he had hella flow and styles. especially for a cali gangsta rapper in that era.

I remember songs like Trigger Gots No Heart and Welcome to the Ghetto but other than that coming from NY I didn't grow up listening to Spice 1. He's been in the game for a long time and put in a whole lot of work...it just seem like he doesn't get the same exposure like a Ice T, Snoop Dogg, Dre, 2Pac or even Ice Cube but I know that Pac had a lot of respect for him and even got his concept "I Wonder If Got a Ghetto" from him.

8 out of 10 for me

Spice 1 goes on the same list as Tech N9ne, Brotha Lynch Hung, Devin the Dude, UGK, etc. as far as legendary rappers who are criminally slept-on. I'll admit I haven't heard probably, his last 2 albums. Ever since he went independent, his distribution has not been up to par. That doesn't mean I think he should've stayed at Jive, which has a history of destroying good artists (Too $hort, Kid Rock, E40, UGK, etc.). One of my favorite Spice 1 albums is actually The Last Dance, which I think came out in 1999-2000. That album had some great features from UGK, C-Bo, Bad Azz, MJG, etc. and top-notch production. I strongly recommend peeping the Spice 1 track, "Chocolate Philly" ft. MJG from that album - classic. Two of my favorite Spice 1 features are Tear Da Club Up Thugz "Wet Party" and Devin the Dude's "Don't Wait" off of his first, self-titled album. Spice is the master of what I call that "rasta-style" fast rappin, kinda like what Lynch does sometimes. I've always felt, Spice, like so many other good rappers, has been the victim of shoddy, weak promotion throughout the majority of his career.

Big fan over here. His first four albums are all pretty solid and 187 He Wrote is borderline classic.
