....is kinda ridiculous that his mother still work  ::)

from the dubcnn interview:

I had smoked hella weed I was high as a muthafucka and I didn't wanna wake my mom up anyway, that's why I fell asleep cause she had to go to work at like 6am.

You'd be surprised how many parents of rich/famous people still work. A lot of people don't just want to sit around all day while there son/daughter gives them money.

I don't find it too rediculous. Spice has had a nice career, but never been close to being on a level like a Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Dre, Eminem, 50 Cent, Diddy, or some of these other HUGE artists that have cash for days.

I don't think he's even really had one big commercially successful radio single, has he? Doesn't really matter to me, but I'm sure that plays a major part in getting paid like the big names always do.

he was only really big back in the early 90's and thats when rappers got screwed in deals by their labels.  I don't think many of his albums have sold well since the black bossalini.  I'm sure he is comfortable, but not totally ballin.  he didn't even have health insurance from the sounds of that interview.  plus, living in the bay ain't cheap...its nearly the highest cost of living in this country.

His first 3 (maybe even 4) albums went platinum, I'm sure about that.
However, as someone stated he used to have a fucked up contract with Jive.
Anyway, I'm sure he lives comfortably, don't you worry about Spice paying his bills.

his first 5 albums on Jive went Gold, his last one "Immortalized" on Jive did not, and so Jive wanted him to clean up his image to sell more, so that is why Spice left in the first place and went indie...
