Good interview.

But on the real if the interview with Snoop is not gonna get released at least write it down. I want to know what he said about 213. Plus you touched other cool topics so drop the content man! Would be appreciated.

It's not comin' out? Why?

Look guys, I would like to write it down for y'all but I can't.

Last time I spoke with Nima, he said that he got some new guy, whos' editing all the videos and he'll touch the Snoop one. I let him handle it the way he wants, because both version - polish and english were supposed to be upped @ the same time and due to miscommunications between me and dudes in Poland, our version was up earlier..


I know the sound on it is pretty fucked up, (I remember trying to made the Hotel service turned out that fuckin' music) but you had to wait and see what will Nima do with the english version I've send him - I still hope he will upload it on the main site, but he must be hella busy now cause our communication has been always on point up until mid-December 2012.

So all I can do is ask you to strain your ears and try to listen to the Polish version :)

Big respect to you but fuck Nima, that shit aint never dropping on the main site.

by influence I mean people bumped Spice 1 from coast to coast, nothing more. in Guerilla Maab's first album, Z-Ro quotes Spice 1. when a rapper uses lyrics from another rapper, then he's somewhat influenced by him. just like Daz, MC Eiht, or Bun B are influenced by Rakim when they use "we came in the door, said it before".

I understand your feelings, but no need for negativity. If it wasen't for DubCNN @ Nima, I prolly would not be able to convince Snoop to talk with me, cause they had a very busy schedule and were 2 hours late with everything on that day. I told Snoop, that I'm a forum member of DubCNN and that caught his interest and attention.

That's why I will never diss DubCNN no matter what, cause this is the place to be for a West Coast fan, no matter how bad it could get. Point blank.  :)



Anyway, here's the second part of my interview with Spice 1. Again, plenty of good info in it (I tried my best) - including Mac Dre, Tha Realest, Dr. Dre, Hyphy Movement and many more:

Good interview, thanks!

Great interview.  Spice 1 is def a legend and seems like a real down to earth dude.  It's crazy to think guys like Spice were going platinum back in the day...hip hop has changed a lot since those days.  


u were almost guaranteed platinum on a major label back in those days and u had rappers like richie rich, jayo felony, ras kass, etc all droppin on majors...game has definitely changed a whole lot.

Spice never went platinum though... Amerikkka'z nightmare sold 900K, and he has the previous two albums gold as well. I see your point though, Jerome. I often think about it when I bump Spice 1, I'm like damn dude was one of the biggest westcoast act in the early 90's and people bumped in from coast to coast (you can hear his influence on non-westcoast rappers that are younger like Z-Ro for example). it's crazy to think that about Quik too, dudes were as big as 2pac when they first came out in 91-92.

A major label wasn't any guarantee for platinum success, even in the 90's. Spice had tremendous success thanks to classic singles like "welcome to the ghetto" or "murder show" but a host of legendary artists haven't had the same fate commercially. A lot of artists, from East to West, had major record deals and never went gold or platinum : South Central Cartel (Def Jam), Richie Rich (Def Jam), King T (Capitol/MCA), Mac Mall (Relativity), The Twinz (Def Jam), Jayo Felony (Def Jam), Kam (East West / Atlantic), Souls of Mischief (Jive), the list goes on. a lot of westcoast artists were signed in the wake of the G-Funk Era but never got the promotion they truly deserved. Also, artists/entrepreneurs that had a huge buzz in the 90's locally and ended signing distribution deals never went gold or platinum either. Young Black Brotha Records signed with Atlantic Records, they flopped hard (hence Mac Dre's diss of Khayree on "macstabber").there was a bidding war to sign JT The Bigga Figga after his "playaz n the game" album which sold like 100k independently, and he ended up on Priority with his label Get Low, never went gold or platinum either and he went back to the independent game. only E-40 managed to get his gold and platinum plaque with the same type of deals, and it was only for his projects (the click & solo albums), for the rest of the roster (celly cel, b-legit, the funk mobb, lil bruce, playaz tryna strive, the mossie), they didn't promote it properly and artists often blamed both 40 & Jive.

anyway thanks Mietek23, good interview and initiative. i'm glad Spice's favorite solo album is Amerikkkaz Nightmare lol, always been my favorite too lol.


spice-1 went platinum twice with "spice-1" and "187 he wrote"...duno if it was ever certified by riaa, though.

lol, dont wait on nima, man....if he aint gettin back to u, theres a chance it's not even on his mind. just up it yourself, or hit up rud and let him know the whole ordeal. with rud, theres actually a chance of him hitting u back . nima seemingly got his head way far up his ass, i've hit him up numerous times to no response, and for u it's even worse, cuz u sent him a vid he's supposed to be editing....but like i said, up the english one urself.

BIGWORM

Big Ups you did a good job!

My favorite part is when he's talking about the features on Amerikkka's Nightmare and the Full Metal Jacket album....

Spice-1 is my favorite rapper for years...

Thanks, glad y'all like it :)

Spice has been one of my Top 15 greatest rappers, ever since I've first listen to "Amerikkka's Nightmare" on cassette back in 1997 so it was really a great expierence to be able to talk to him face to face :)

Plus, I must say once again - he's one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. Very down to earth guy, with a great sense of humour and no "star attitude" whatsoever.


Anyway, feel free to share the interview with y'all people and also post it on other sites/forums your contribute to, so we can gain more views :)


Oh, and please take a minute and subscribe to my YouTube channel ---> www.youtube.com/Mietas23  :) I got some more good stuff coming out this year so watch out ;)
