I've bumped Spice 1 for the longest, got every damn one of his CD's from out the gate right through to all his comps and collabs of the last five years, and I got to say even so, I co-sign this post.
That ain't hate, I been knowing about Spice 1 too but his last couple of CD's have been horrible and the sound of someone who is way past his best. Dude who reminding us of his OG status probably didn't even hear his recent shit.
I just don't see what putting dude on like this is gonna do. Gotta respect 40's love for his old peer, but this ain't a route the Bay need to be taking its new mainstream buzz, we should be promoting the cats who on the come up.
I loved 1990-sick, 187 he wrote, Amerikkkas nightmare and all that good shit but when Spice 1 comes out on a Lil Jon beat doin all that ol' biggedy biggedy biggedy O shit, cats it just gonna clown us on some Kriss Kross tip.
Anyway... I guess we'll see how this shapes up, I'll respect dude for getting it if this goes through, but in 2006 I think a lot of us know there are plenty more marketable artists who deserve major-label deals.
