Free Music Review: Everyone Dies On This Album...Including Spice 1 (Rating: 5 out of 10- -2.5 stars)
Hit: 2 Stars
Spice 1 dropped this fourth album, 1990-Sick, on Jive Records back in late 1995/early '96, after coming off such a great AmeriKKKa's Nightmare. If I remember correctly, I read that either he was locked up when this album was released, or he was released from jail before this album came out (due to overcrowding). Spice 1 has been one of the greatest from the bay since the early 90's with 187 He Wrote and his self titled debut on Jive in '92. His fourth album takes you down the life of Spice once again, a road that many of his fans (such as myself) were very familiar with.
To get straight to the point in this review, the concept is average, and Spice 1's lyrics rarely breaks any new ground with this album. Pretty much that he doesn't say anything new than he did on his earlier albums (his later albums after this will suffer the same problems too). The production here is decent, but some of the beats are kind of dry, and are missing that sound that other Bay Area rappers had back then (see Too $hort's Cocktails, or Luniz Operation Stackola). To be fair, he always threw a twist into his rhyme style that many others lacked, which separated him from other rappers from his region.
There are a few good tracks that are worth listening to. The album's title track features MC Eiht, and works in their favor (the last track is a Spice-1 solo). "1-800-Straight-from-the-pen" Spice talks about his life, and his friends in the jail yard, and has a catchy hook "They dialing 1-800-C-O-L-L-E-C-T/ straight from the state penitentiary". Following that song is "Ain't No Love" which sounds pretty deep. Those are the only few tracks I can think of that stood out. Most tracks that were unnamed were not good, or not good enough to stand out. "Sucka A** N****z" is good as Spice-1, G-Nut, and X-tra Large play Run-DMC and Jam Master Jay.
The overall result of this album was really not that good. It's pretty average in my opinion, and most of his albums (especially on Jive) after this have the same problem of redundancy and blandness. Spice really doesn't say anything new on this album, but there are a few good tracks that are worth checking out. Spice 1 might be 1990-Sick, but I think he's loosing his "187 Pureness" (thank you Source Magazine...they never explain their ratings). Looks like this album just went out of print. If you decide to buy this album, definitely get it used. If you want to hear Spice at his best, buy every album he's made before this one. Peace.
