According to Baller Status, Bay Area rapper Spice 1 was shot in the early morning hours of Monday, Dec. 3, in Hayward. There are few details, but here's what the Web site ran:
"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."

It is soooooooo sad again !
A another man gone, life has so much to offer,
why don't these young men get it!
What is the solution to something that's happens every day? I can only pray for peace one day. Then their is the mothers' children , families , freinds left with big holes in their hearts ,for a love one that will never come back!

I remeber when I first heard spice1 in the back of my friends cutty, while riding the Independence Ave. He made you feel like a G, when we were nothing more than a couple of Youngbloodz doing nothing right. Those days are missed and I will never forget it till the day I die.
