Bay area rap legend Spice 1 remains in critical condition, after being shot after he fell asleep in his car on Monday morning (December 3).

 

Spice 1, born Robert Green, fell asleep for about 30 minutes in the driveway of his parents’ home, when he noticed someone was standing next to him.

 

According to police, the gunman fired one shot through the window, striking Spice 1 in the chest.

 

The rapper staggered into his parents’ house and family members called 911.

 

Spice 1 has undergone surgery for his wounds at a local hospital, but remains in critical condition.

 

While nothing was stolen from the 37-year-old rapper, police have started processing the vehicle in hopes of finding clues.

 

Police are seeking a 5-foot-7 White or Latino male who was dressed in all black.

 

Spice 1 is a Bay Area rap staple, who has collaborated with a who’s who of artists, including UGK, Three 6 Mafia, Too $hort, C-Bo, Tupac, Yukmouth, MC Eiht, B-Legit, E-40 and others.

 

"Spice 1 is a Hip-Hop legend and I pray that he makes a speedy recovery," E-40 told AllHipHop.com.

With the loss of Pimp C I hope we don't overlook Spice 1. For if something was to happen to him then that'd be two tragedies in less then a week.

Hope for the best yall..

Spice 1 is a official bay area gangsta, haven't listened to any of his new stuff as I kind fell back on the hard core gangster rap of the 90's. But I still have a lot of respect for his previous work including "The Trigger gots no heart" and "Murde Show" w/ Eiht. Hope they find the cocksucker who tried to murder a legend in the game. Peace.

Whats so funny about the way his life was put in critical condition. Whats so funny about a man walking into his parents home shot in the chest and 2 people who birthed and raised him having to go threw that. Ive fell asleep in my parents drive way before as well, and if i would have got shot i wouldnt find it funny...maybe i have a different since of humor though.

Spice 1 MUST make it thru. fa real.

i'ma keep him in my thoughts and prayers.

mos def a Bay Area legend, forever and a day.

all u bustas and don't knows...keep a G name out ya mouth.

do ur homework 1st.

this is the reason that Hip Hop is where it's at today,

these youngstas don't know shit about Hip Hop other than what they see at present.

SMH

there should be some sort of historical exam (like the one to get citizenship in the U.S.)

b4 u can claim to be a Hip Hop fan, aimed strictly at the youngstas.

real spit.

@ Phila,

Honestly if you do not know Spice 1 is then you must be a kid....Seriously....This man is gangsta...What we hear from his music he lives...it just so happens that he has to live through this gun shot issue...

@ Phila, you think its funny hey for a man to get shot while sleeping in his car....hope you dont fall asleep in your car....you dont think KARMA is going to get you for that comment?

@ Phila, i hope KARMA treats you well in the coming days or months....when you least expect it...KARMA will hit and when it does...then we as Spice 1 fans will laugh at YOU....Tell your family to watch themselves...Karma is going to hit hard on you...

*******************

Please make it through Spice 1...One thing for sure though is that person who shot him will be dealt with as soon as Spice 1 gets back into good health...

I still remember his tracks in the early 90's and the songs him and Pac made....

Hope Spice 1 gets well.....to the people that say it doesn't make sense...nobody knows what happened yet.....but hayward is mostly hispanic and niggas out here don't beef wit hispanics like that......whoever shot him probably saw him in his car and was about to rob him and spice probably just woke up....dude pops 1 off, spice gets hit in the chest, dude runs off, and now he's in the hospital.....

Random shit does happen....just cuz a nigga gets shot doesn't mean he always into something....its heartless niggas out here....hopefully we won't have to give anymore r.i.p.s out anytime soon
