---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.
BallerStatus will keep you updated as details are revealed.

Yeah all that violence is bad, but it's not going to stop anytime soon. It's crazy how the drug trends follow the rappers though, back when Nickatina was big, people were getting coked out, then Mac Dre and Thizz blows up, so way more people pop. But that's been going on for a while, so they back to coke with Messy and Keak rapping about it.

Hopefully he pulls through this. I liked alot of his lyrics back in the day. Stop the fucking violence already.

i totally agree, but if u dont have the heart to murder someone when your sober, and you gotta do it when ur coked out, that just shows how weak you are, and in the end, those cowards will get theirs. on a side, please believe its west block ALL DAMN DAY!!!

HAYWARD — A Hayward man was recovering from a gunshot wound after being shot in the chest early Monday while sleeping in his car, according to Hayward Police Lt. Reid Lindblom. The 37-year-old man received serious but non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, Lindblom said.
Police did not release the man's name.
The man apparently had been sleeping in his car in the driveway of his house on the 26000 block of Chiplay Avenue when, at about 12:30 a.m., he became aware that someone was standing next to his car, Lindblom said.
"A shot rang out. It went through the car window and hit him in the chest," he said.
The victim then went into his house and family members called 9-1-1, Lindblom said.
Nothing was stolen from the man or taken from his vehicle, the lieutenant said.
The shooter was described as a white or Hispanic male about 5 feet 7 inches tall and dressed all in black.
Lindblom said investigators do not have a suspect or a motive for the shooting. Investigators will interview the victim and process his vehicle for evidence, he said.
"We'll just see what comes up, what shakes out," he said.
Anyone with additional information is encouraged to call the Hayward Police Department at 510-293-7000

From sohh.com:
Bay Area rapper Spice 1 was shot in his car during the early morning hours of Monday (December 3). SOHH has learned that the rapper (born Robert L. Green, Jr.) is reportedly in critical condition.
The incident took place around 12:30 a.m. in the 26000th block of Chiplaw Ave. in Hayward, Calif. Lieutenant Reid Lindblom of the Hayward Californina police, spoke to SOHH about the shooting.
"The victim was asleep in his car, parked in the driveway of his house when an unknown suspect apparently came up to the side of the car and [shot] him in the chest," Lindblom said. "The victim indicated that he was asleep and became aware of somebody standing next to the car."
Other reports have said Spice 1 was shot twice, but police confirmed he was actually only struck once.
Police say a motive is still unclear but investigators have been assigned to the case.
"It's premature to say that there are no leads because I'm sure there is some evidence," Lindblom said. "Investigators are talking to people in the neighborhood ...we're working on it. It's an open and active case."

The 37-year-old Hayward man shot Monday while sleeping in his car has been identified as Bay Area rapper Spice 1, whose real name is Robert Green.
Green was seriously wounded in the shooting and is recovering at a local hospital, Hayward Police Lt. Reid Lindblom said. Lindblom said that Green has been interviewed at the hospital by detectives but did not have additional details.
"He said he dozed off in his car," Lindblom said. "He guessed he had been in his car for about 30 minutes."
Green apparently had been been sleeping in his car in the driveway of a house on the 26000 block of Chiplay Avenue when, at about 12:30 a.m., he became aware that someone was standing next to the vehicle. A shot was fired through the car window, and Green was hit in the chest, according to Lindblom.
Green then went into his house and family members called 9-1-1, he said.
Nothing was stolen from the victim or taken from the vehicle. The shooter was described as a white or Hispanic male about 5 feet 7 inches tall and dressed all in black.
Lindblom said investigators do not have a suspect or a motive for the shooting. Investigators are processing his vehicle for evidence, he said.
Green's manager, Scott Bibiano, who goes by the nickname "Six," said Tuesday that the residence belongs to Green's parents. Bibiano said that Green is in critical condition and has been through surgery.
Bibiano added that Green's parents have been with Green and that they are holding up

well.
Green has released more than a dozen albums since the early 1990s; his latest, "Thug Association," was released earlier this year.
Bibiano said that he and Green were in Las Cruces, N.M., and El Paso, Texas, over the weekend for performances.
"He is well respected in the rap community," Bibiano said of Green. "He is one of the icons, one of the fathers that started it in the Bay Area."
Green has worked with several high-profile rappers, including East Bay rapper "Too Short," as well as Tupac Shakur, who was shot and killed in 1996.
The Associated Press also reported Tuesday that 33-year-old rapper Chad Butler, known as "Pimp C," was found dead in a Los Angeles hotel room on Tuesday. Butler collaborated with Green in the past.
Hayward City Councilwoman Doris Rodriquez lives around the block from where Green was shot. She said she did not know Green, but was unnerved by the shooting.
"It's pretty close to home," she said. "It's always been a fairly quiet neighborhood, but periodically things have happened." She said neighbors recently formed a Neighborhood Watch due to shootings and a firebombing that occurred in the neighborhood earlier this year.

Lindblom said investigators do not have a suspect or a motive for the shooting. Investigators are processing his vehicle for evidence, he said.
Green's manager, Scott Bibiano, who goes by the nickname "Six," said Tuesday that the residence belongs to Green's parents. Bibiano said that Green is in critical condition and has been through surgery.
Bibiano added that Green's parents have been with Green and that they are holding up

well.
Green has released more than a dozen albums since the early 1990s; his latest, "Thug Association," was released earlier this year.
Bibiano said that he and Green were in Las Cruces, N.M., and El Paso, Texas, over the weekend for performances.
"He is well respected in the rap community," Bibiano said of Green. "He is one of the icons, one of the fathers that started it in the Bay Area."
Green has worked with several high-profile rappers, including East Bay rapper "Too Short," as well as Tupac Shakur, who was shot and killed in 1996.
The Associated Press also reported Tuesday that 33-year-old rapper Chad Butler, known as "Pimp C," was found dead in a Los Angeles hotel room on Tuesday. Butler collaborated with Green in the past.
Hayward City Councilwoman Doris Rodriquez lives around the block from where Green was shot. She said she did not know Green, but was unnerved by the shooting.
"It's pretty close to home," she said. "It's always been a fairly quiet neighborhood, but periodically things have happened." She said neighbors recently formed a Neighborhood Watch due to shootings and a firebombing that occurred in the neighborhood earlier this year.
Not to thread jack and please don't stray to far...but don't you love how the media loves to make rap look so violent? Every time Pac's name is mentioned anywhere in the media they feel the need to remind us all that he was shot and killed in 96' How is Pac being shot and killed connected to Spice being shot by a white or hispanic male while sleep in his car?

Hayward is all fucked up right now.. buncha different wars declared between the sets.. especially in the South.. It this is very bad news.. It's easy to get caught in the crossfire.. hopefully he pulls through.
add union city and fremont to that list. im in south hayward right now where i own my storage company and yes it is gettin real bad. hella different shit going on. in union city the decoto niggas is going crazy right now. in fremont my nigga just got shot and his gf murdered driving just down my street. the east bay is on fire right now and i haven't even mentioned oakland and san leandro
oh off top! my decoto ninjas is as crazy as they come.. the east bay is bad, the whole bay actually.. out here in the west, they breakin record numbers too, from frisco down.. even in the south, in San Jo, the safest place around.. they done had 15 homicides in the past couple of months.. this is what was happenin a couple years back when niggaz was "thizz dancing".. now errybody "playin wit their nose".. which is much worse.. ha you already know.
I don't have a fuckin clue about the "thizz dancing",can you tell me if it was a drug influenced dance ?
I know this question sounds stupid,but 1)i don't live in the bay area 2)i'm curios
;)
It's alright, basically "thizz dancing" was a craze based off Mac Dre's song "Thizzelle Dance", and it is incorporated with poppin ecstacy and with the sideshow culture, jumping on cars and dancing on hoods and all that, just doing stupid stuff. You don't need to be on drugs to do it, but that whole movement with people acting ignorant was based on ecstacy pills.

I definitely agree, it just sucks when people turn fun events into violence, which happens way too much. People just get too out of control, stompin on other peoples hoods or people get jealous and offended, or try to look hard, and they start bullshit over nothing.

thanks for the reply,i didn't know this thing about ecstacy

stay up spice. Fuck that mark ass bitch that shot you.
-
hate to burst your bubble guys but spice 1 aint no gangster. he's been robbed a couple times in hayward for money and jewelry. so if ur looking for retaliation your not gonna get it. im sure spice is fully cooperating wit the police and would love to see the person who shot him behind bars

how would u know man
-
^^ umm i've lived in the area for 26 years. its not like spice 1 is some rich rapper living the good life. he's a regular guy tryin to make a living thats around the area. i also know he got robbed for his rope chain in front of a liquor store not to long ago. dont get me wrong guys hes a great fuckin rapper and one of my favorites. he's just not a gangster
-
Yeah we shouldn't be expecting Spice to retaliate, just hope that he recovers. Also, we shouldn't want him to come back and murder whoever attacked him, two wrongs don't make a right, plus Spice would get locked up, the violence would continue, things would only get worse.
-
yea it was jsut me getting fired up i had too many subs with that fuckin hot sause you know how it gets me
-
spice 1
BLOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!
-
damn.
you know whats a real damn shame though?
i was riding in my car and flipped on the radio just for a second before i pressed CD. i hardly listen to the radio anymore. and as i was flipping, i was dialed in to 106.1 fm. and the bitch(dj) was talkin about how spice was shot. and i was like oh shit. but then something really strange happened...she actually played one of his songs.
i know you guys is saying "what so amazing about that?" well, its just ironic to me that unless this nigga is on his death bad, the radio would refuse to play his shit. and if you think about it and say if the Bay Area radio stations, and the LA stations would promote our home grown shit a little more, this could have been somewhat avoided. i mean people get shot everyday over here. but spice should get way more credit and respect than what has been getting. this just proves why and how mainstream outlets do not give a FUCK about the community they are operating in, rather bite the hand thats fedding you and then lay a fat ass turd down they throat.
anyway, best wishes to a legend...period.

Very true, it is tough to get radio play, they barely ever played Mac Dre until after he died on KMEL, and that's the station that endorses local music the most. They have their little community events and all that, but they really fail to support their local artists enough, or push them to more markets. It also goes by requests, and everyone wants to request their love songs, so that cuts a lot of airplay away also.
yea it was jsut me getting fired up i had too many subs with that fuckin hot sause you know how it gets me
Haha i know, thanks for the explanation.

I don't know why there are people in this thread so damn stupid to post something like "yo,i hope spice 1 will murder that motherfucker" ::)
-
In the game you know, you got two real ennemies "The Cops" if only you said a word on them in a song and you got the haters, every artist got haters but in the rap game, real jealous ass can kill you for nuthin'... They used to be, maybe your friends, from your family, haters from nowhere, if you look better it's all about the money and being famous and annoying to some people etc... It's hard to be a famous rap star.
