Although not revered as he once was, Spice 1 is an OG who has been putting down his unapologetic gangsta raps in the Bay for a decade plus. Along the way, his friendship with Pac let to a collaboration between the two on his “AmeriKKKa’s Worst Nightmare” album. In a recent interview with Davey D, Spice had some angry remarks regarding the rappers abusing Pac’s legacy. Here is an except:
“Everybody eating off Pac – Ja Rule, Nelly, all them cats. What pisses me off is the rap crowd and the audience should say something about it. I can’t, I mean I’ve been there and I’ve seen already. What pisses me off is they know damn well that Pac did not like Nas or motherfucking Jay-Z. And they’re playing the song on the radio. That shit is outrageous and it makes me mad as fuck. It makes you wanna take one of their motherfucking beats and rap about them on it.
But the thing is, if I did that, then the West Coast is hated on that much. If I did that shit, I probably wouldn’t even get heard. If I die and someone do that shit to me [steal my beats and rap about me knowing I didn’t like them], I swear if there’s a way for me to come back, I would just to serve their ass.
I already told my homeboys. I said, “If I die, nigga, and any of these niggas that I didn’t like make a song try to be like me, whoop their motherfucking ass. Check these niggas. They know God damn well Pac didn’t like them niggas, man.”
