Photo: Thug World Ent. Legendary Bay Area rapper Spice 1 was shot in Hayward, California during the early morning hours of Monday (December 3), but details regarding the incident are sketchy.
The rapper's manager, Six, confirmed the shooting to BallerStatus.com, but said despite rumors, Spice is still alive and in critical condition at an unspecified hospital.
According to Six, Spice was shot twice, once in the chin and another time in the chest, which just missed his heart by inches.
"Yes, it's true," Six told BallerStatus.com. "Right now, we're asking for everyone to keep Spice in their prayers."
Spice 1 is being treated at an area hospital, unknown due to the circumstances of the shooting. Despite being in serious condition, Six says he is expected to pull through.
Spice 1 (real name: Robert L. Green, Jr.) hails from Hayward, California. He is a legend in the Bay Area who has been releasing music since the early 90s.
He has more than 15 albums under his belt, three of which were certified gold during his days as an artist on the Jive Records roster.
He left Jive Records in 1999, and has since released numerous albums independently. His most recent was
Thug A$$ociation, which dropped in May and feature B-Legit, Roger Troutman and C-Bo.

Can't believe someone done that. This guy were here before anybody, you have to show mad respect for that. The guy who shot him is maybe selling CD's or makin money with music becuz there are people like Spice. KKK nightmare he used to say. This time it seems your own brothers are the nightmare...Damn, welcome to da ghetto. Peace, plz we need you.

Okay all you retarded half thug half savage motherfuckers, let this be added to the many signs on why the fuck you should stop supporting this so called GANGSTA SHIT! How many fathers, sons and brothers have to fucking die before you wake the fuck up. I pray that Spice 1 pulls through and the retarded savage who shot him burns in hell. WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!!! Stop praising these gun toting assholes. Support rappers who drop knowledge and these criminal ass fucked up labels that kill two birds with one stone (destroy the black race and make money) Will stop selling this shit. SUPPLY AND FUCKING DEMAND! Stop buying this GANGSTA shit and they will stop selling it and people will stop getting shot. Just like the tobaco industry, DUTCH MASTERS slaved your people and now they kill you buy selling you the shit your forefathers farmed for you fucking blunts and you get high and kill eachother!!!! So you are financing your own fucking ignorance. Get well soon Spice!
