Pionnier de la bay... Sa toute première sortie, sous le blaze 187 proof avec quelques anciens du 187 fac, est apparue en 1991 sur Wax Tha Azz Records, c'est une tape old school mais funky à mort
187 Proof - Dope Like A Pound Or A Key

Si tu l'as tu déchirrerais si tu pouvais l'upper!

Sinon l'album du 187 Fac "Fac Not Fiction"(avec Spice 1 seulement en featuring) est mortel!

Moi j'ai vraiment accroché sur Amerikkka's Nightmare avant 2000 et j'aime bien Spiceberg Slim,ms en tout cas c un mc complet que je met ds mon top 5

ouuuuula je connaissais pas ca, il a changé de nom dans la meme année en tout cas parce que pour son premier EP avant la signature sur Jive il s'appelait deja Spice 1 et ca date de 1991 aussi...

un ou deux extraits feraient bien plaisir en tout cas!

Stumbled across this joint while lookin` thru one of my boxes of cassettes trying to find an older mix tape I put together back in `99....LoL, at first glance I thought it was just some gangsta`D up mix I got from a friend. Then I took a look at the tracklist on the back & noticed a couple familiar Spice-1 song titles such as "187 Proof" & "East Bay Gangster", so I popped it up in the ol` tape deck & hit play. Gotta say that this joint`s a trip, not only does it contain some early Spice-1 tracks, but I`ve been told that it also includes an early mix as well as a remix of "Foul Play" The Coup`s very first recorded appearance. The track itself later appeared on their debut album "Kill My Landlord" album which dropped on Wild Pitch. It also has a few trippy instrumentals/dubs ("Lights Start Flashing") , interludes ("976-Spice" & "211 At 711") & the posse track "One Nation". It`s sort of like a weak attempt at a "We`re All In The Same Game" type of track, exactly who is on the song? I couldn`t tell you, sorry. There isn`t much info` on this compilation, but I can tell you a lil` about the Spice-1 tracks. First off, I gotta say that I`m actually DiGG`n this mix of "East Bay Gangster" more than the version that ended up on Spice-1`s debut album released on Jive Records. Maybe I just love how they used the bassline from the O`Jays` "Give The People What They Want", either way it`s DoPe! "Gangster Thang" is Spice kickin` some of his trademark gangsta tales over a simplistic Ol` School soundin` beat, there`s even a lil` Chuck D sample. “187 Proof” is a track that most folkS should know, lyric~wise it`s exactly the same as the album version. The beat`s a lil` different & there`s a bit of an intro before the track starts with Spice takin` a few hits off a joint & a sample of someone saying "A Green Leafy Substance..." followed by a sample "Roll up a phat one & pass it around..." over & over until the song sparks off. “2 B Reel” is a rare/unreleased track, Spice kicks gangsta flowS over a beat that just seems a lil` too soft for a Spice-1 track. Who knows maybe it was an attempt at a radio joint. So there you have it a lil` run~down of this relatively unknown compilation, check it out for ya`self...
