I had never heard of Spice 1 until a couple of months ago when i was reading a listmania list on amazon.com and spice 1's 187 he wrote was on it. Then all of a sudden i started seeing this album on more and more listmania lists so i decided to check it out. I was expecting a mediocre album, but this was definetly worth the [money] i spent on it. Spice 1 has a hardcore delivery and hardcore lyrics. He also shows he can get deeper then just killing, which is a skill that i have only seen in a couple of other gangsta rap artists, such as the greatest rapper of all time, Scarface. The only thing that holds this album back a little is the production. I really wanted to hear Spice 1 flow over a hardcore beat but only a couple times did it happen. Other then that, this is a great cd. It also sounds pretty cool when he stutters in his verses like on the first song when one of the entire verses is him stuttering his words. The best tracks are "187 he wrote", "Clip & Trigga", and "Trigga Happy".
