Spice 1
Robert L. Green, Jr. (born July 2, 1970), better known by his stage name Spice 1, is an American rapper born in Corsicana, Texas. He has consistently been releasing solo and group albums since 1992. Spice 1 was ranked number 56 in The Source magazine's Top 115 Hip-Hop Artists from 1988–2003. His self-titled debut was also listed in The Source's 100 Best Rap
JiveRecords (1991-1999)
Spice's stage name is an acronym for "Sex, Pistols, Indo, Cash, and Entertainment". He was first discovered by rapper Too Short. In 1991 he put out his first release, Let It Be Known EP, which was not widely distributed. In 1992, he released his self-titled debut Spice 1, a vivid and fatalistic gangsta rap album. He followed it with an even more bitter and nihilistic release, 187 He Wrote, in 1993.
Spice 1 released six albums under Jive Records along with one greatest hits album. Though was reported by Jive that he had an album called "Full Metal Jacket", Spice 1 has stated that this information was false. The album was never released and it is uncertain whether any songs were recorded for the project. He was supposed to collaborate with 2Pac on an album called "One Nation", along with other west and east coast rappers.

Critical reception
Allmusic - "...His style, an appropriate mix of irony, disdain, acceptance and confusion, never succumbs to the situation or seeks to justify or downplay the sense of impending doom."

Young Nigga
by: Spice 1Y'all ready to do this shit? Bust
When I was young, I had the lust to pull the trigger
And make change out a five dollar ass, nigga
And as time went on, I gained much love
But seein' niggas', guts bust at a nightclub
Too young to get my ass in but they didn't trip
'Cause if I didn't get in, they knew I'd start shit
So I was treated like the muthafuckin' Pope
Security see me, so they scope
And follow me around like a flock of hoes
I had a squab with a bitch with a big ass nose
I started to knock the bitch out but before I could
I'm stopped short by a redneck peckerwood
But he was slow, with the other hand slapped the hoe
Then security rushed us out the backdo'
So when I grabbed the nine, they thought I'd go nuts
I'd roll by and bust caps at the grownup's
Young nigga, got bold and got the liquor
As a young, yeah
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
Well, what do you know, it's summer time
And every young nigga my age, is on the grind
Workin' for the city
A drugstore on every goddamn corner and niggas actin' shitty
About who sell, where and whose dope is it
So, some niggas around the block, they paid us a visit
But we ain't comin' off shit but a drive by
I guess they wanna expand to go city wide
So we hung muthafuckas by the barbed wire
Whoever was a snitch or bitch or liar
And five O is gettin' kinda dense
'Cause the wire was missin' from a county jail fence
Breakin' off boulders
And the niggas from around the block, they said they told us
Not to short stop, so my nigga got popped
I looked down and I'm shocked
To see him layin' dead by the bushes
As a young nigga
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
Shit is gettin' hectic, my mission had to flow smooth
We hit the corner in a sixty-five old school
Bustin' at niggas twice my age
Muthafuckas catchin' heat from my guage
They tried to shoot back but it ain't like that
'Cause I'm the nigga with the biggest gat
Hoes get fucked and eat the bullet
'Cause the trigger that got my nigga, one of them had to pull it
My nigga with the nine said, "Forget it"
But I seen a nigga point his finger and say, "He did it"
I loaded up the clip and shot him in the dick
And kept on bustin' till his leg kicked
Now we Audi 5000, gee
The glasspacks on the sixty-five, got noisy
We had to smash
'Cause five O was right behind our ass
We had to get away, we dumped the A.K.
And the guage in the bushes on the way
The cops kept bustin', niggas kept cussin'
About which way to go fussin'
We hit the corner and they bust
At some niggas lookin' just like us
We knew it was about that time
Hopped out my homeboy's shit and into mine
We got away because they couldn't figure
Which one of the boys was that young nigga
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
He said, "Young ass, nigga"
You dumb nigga, you
