Spice 1 is considered by fans one of the best rappers from the Bay. How the hell would you call him the most underrated rapper in The Bay? He's underrated in hip/hop in general, but he's a legend especially in The Bay. Dude was popular as f*ck everywhere back in the day. When most fans think of Bay area rap there's a few names that always come up. Too Short, E-40, and Spice 1. Pac too...
Larenze tate did a wonderful job as O-Dogg, but spice 1 as O-Dogg would have been legendary. Especially with Pac as shareef and MC Eiht was already in it as A-Wax.... that would have been an all star line up with those 3.
Spice 1 is a Legend I remember that '187' proof video as a kid and....The first song i heard from him was 'Welcome to the Ghetto' and 'trigga got no heart' ....Being from New Orleans all we listened too was West Coast music (well majority of us) before we started our own sound but this guy Too Short, D.O.C, Dr.Dre & NWA...Scarface & the Ghetto Boyz influenced us heavy in the early 90's...
Agreed, "give a G a gat" and "face of a desperate man" good stuff. His follow up 1990- sick was great too. My diskman always had a spice 1 CD in it at school in the 90's. I grew up in North Carolina and not many people knew about him.
Spice gave one of the best radio versions of a song ever in Hip Hop. I rather listen to Trigga Gots No Heart over the regular one. The skill to have such a hard clean version is talent.
for some reason i like "the trigger gots no heart" better then "a nigga gots no heart". from the title and the hook alone. the trigger gots no heart sounds more philosophical, while "a nigga gots now heart" sounds kind of bland
@@bigbaba4542 Well said. A lot of times in the 90s, the clean versions seem to bump harder than the dirty ones. I think it’s because the artists knew the clean versions were gonna get the radio and TV airplay, so they had to sound extra convincing.
@@AQUAPHREESH193 they had to be more clever with the lyrics and wordplay. I promise I feel like some of the radio versions back then had way better bars.
My pops brought Spice 1 and UGK to Amarillo Texas back at 1992. DJ Quik was supposed to show up too but the song “Jus lyke Compton” had just came out and he was scared to come to Texas lmao. He said UGK and Spice 1 were cool tho. 💯
@@abelperez1434 Pops said it was fun! They had to move venues because they venue wouldn’t allow them to perform without Quik. But they made it work! I wish I was there too I wasn’t even born yet 😭😂
I went to school with one of his cousins. He referred to Spice as Chico which is his nick name. When his shit came out in the 90s he said that he was related to him we were like gtfoh..lol....but we got a chance to meet him once. I miss that 90s rap!
Growing up with my gangsta ass cousins I remember listening to all Spice 1 cds' he is a legend. one of the best ever. Love hearing his interviews because it's authentic and official. Hope he gets paid big. Let's do a track big dog.
Finally someone interviewed or did a podcast with Spice 1, the homie is the spitta legend on the mic f.r people sleeping on him the Peace to my 9ine and in my neighborhood the best. Califas has so much underground Gems not just L.A sht Oakland and Sacramento has a lot of dope artists
5:45 his commitment to his craft & continued passion even after successfully into his upper middle age. Most people burn out by then. As a middle age man myself I find that inspirational
Just met him in Vegas @ a smoke shop. He did work w/my family (StreetLordz Chedda Boyz in Detroit) & I mentioned it to him. He looked, paused & was like "Damn lil homie, how you know about that?". He gave me a pound.
Mine too, l remember hearing things back in the 90’s that I always wanted to know the truth about, and now it’s like I’m finally getting the icing on the cake!! I really want to see the June 27th video that was recorded on D-Mo’s bday!!
@@MrEdge696 Clay Doe is who D Moe said recorded it would be nice to see, I'm a Screwhead so Donnie doing these interviews makes me realize my childhood was amazing I witnessed history in the making.
let's no forget spice is on dusted n discusted with pac off the bay area timeless classic:e40 in a major way,and spices'on the i got 5 on it remix rip shock g/humpty hump✌️
Dope ass interview them Tupac,too short, & his Lyfe stories is krazy lot of insight on who he is I always loved his musik when I get in my zone I gotta play spice 1 💯
Much love and respect to Spice 1. I had all his cassette tapes pinned to my wall as a youngsta. Very underrated artist and one of my all time favorites. 💯 and I would also like to say that this is a dope podcast and the questions were on point. Keep up the great work !!!
Spice music coming up my mom and everyone was on spice one....that was stay yo ass in school music for me.... thought he was born in bread in California but to hear he's from H town iz very enlightening.....East bay G💯🤞🤞🖤🙏
MANNNNN!!!! Bro, Spice always been in my top 5, from 187 He wrote to.Amerikkas Nightmare that ish raised me !!!! Wordplay was crazy and lyrics so vivid him Pac and Face are my fan story tellers. Can't believe this.
“When I was broke y’all didn’t give a fuck if I was shittin on myself or pissin off the Bay Bridge … I got my hand on the gun cause they got me on the run / Spice MF 1 known for leaving bodies numb / I’m a G MF, can’t you see I’m a G…”
amerikkkaz nightmare with pac,and method man with spice on the cd cover with the tar hills jersey was hard af back in 94'.the first 3 spice albums were my favorite.another ill interview dh highly enjoyable✌️
A bunch of Louisiana music is like Texas at least until you get to Lafayette I would like to see Donnie interview a few rappers Like X-Mob(rip vicious) they come from Pimp
Spice is one of my all time favorites! I hope he tells some stories about Bushwick Bill. If you ain’t heard him tell one you’re missing out! Check out Roadium Radio on Tony A’s channel to hear Spice tell some hilarious shit!💯🤣
Its crazy cuz im sitting watching this & looking at those sunglasses he's wearing; & it reminds me of the Self titled album where he's in the str8 jacket with sunglasses on lookin goofy & crazy at the same time in a looney bin 😂🤣😂🤣. Spiggity One 💪🏿💪🏿🔥🔥
I grew up loving spice too, lost a lot of my niggaz behind listening and living by this music. We were young doing all kind of crazy ass shit really doin it. Half of us are fucked up now ,just getting out prison or dead. We grown now black people, time to face the truth facts, all of these rappers putting devil music out here for our youths. We all been doing devil shit for the last 30years. Time to wake tf up.. Same way they brain washed us. Wake up brothers and sisters, we need to put out more messages than just killing a mf. I didn't know any better back then.. Just wake the fuck up ppl
Ain't nobody brainwashed you. Take some accountability for your actions. The music had nothing to do with what you did in your life. I grew up listening to spice 1 too and I never did none of that shit that he talks about in his music
I really enjoyed this video with Spice 1, a real and cool guy. I esp. liked him talking abour Tupac. Yes, that was a set up with Tupac, at that studio in NYC, by Sean Combs, esp. and Biggie, "Who shot you", literally bragging about it, in that song, afterwards. I guess they felt safe, and protected thinking Tupac was tucked away, in jail, for a long time. But then entered Shug Knight, who got him out, and history was made when Tupac came out with, "Hit Em Up", that sounded like a bomb. No need to scratch your head about were they involved, in that setup. Like Spice 1 said there are some real haters, in the world. I enjoyed Spice 1 talking about his memory of everyone he worked with. He's very believable, and his memory is clear as a bell. Thanks

That's just dumb.
Major Facts!!!!!
I still got all Spice 1's first 3 studio albums when his music was on that jive label from 1992'' to 1995'' And i got them on cassette tapes!!!
Larenze tate did a wonderful job as O-Dogg, but spice 1 as O-Dogg would have been legendary. Especially with Pac as shareef and MC Eiht was already in it as A-Wax.... that would have been an all star line up with those 3.
PAC knew playing shareef would be a bad look 💯
On GOD! Imagine Eiht, Spice, Pac, & $hort Dog in that movie. Smmfh
chroo...and all 'uum were pahtnaz, dat would'a been fy ✌🏿
Hell na 🤣 2 pac would of NEVER played shareef
