What happened to bay area hip hop? The early 90's were DOPE in the Bay Area. Countless good artists. Mac Mall, Mac Dre, E-40's early stuff, Spice 1, TOO SHORT, The Click, Totally Insane, C-Funk, MOP, Rappin 4tay, Dru Down...the list goes on and on.
Today's segment focuses on what had to be one of my favorites of all time: Spice 1. We were talking about him last night. That dude was dope. Wonder what he's doing these days.
Per Wikipedia: Spice's creative output has ballooned since his release from Jive. He has released more than 10 group and solo albums since.[1]He now resides in Lynnwood and rooms with Domino while recording for Kop & Flip Records.
Spice 1 was shot on the morning of December 3, 2007 while sitting in his parents' driveway. The shooting is believed to be motivated by robbery, rather than any sort of rivalry. Spice 1 is currently recovering at Eden Medical Center[3] and is expected to make a full recovery. Spice 1 talked about the shooting 6 days after it occurred from his hospital bed.
