Just because you haven't heard of them or barely heard of them doesn't make them not big. LOL. Spice 1 was a huge name in rap in his hey-day and one of the greatest to ever touch a mic. Although San Quinn isn't huge outside of the Bay Area, he is well known and respected a rap artist amongst hard core followers of the genre. Quinn and Mess Marv dropped one of the greatest underground albums ever (Explosive Mode) and gained much notoriety amongst hip hop heads. ESp lol at spice 1 not being big.

no no he's absolutely right nobody knows spice 1.. dudes in ny in the early 90s had never heard of him, ever.. and method man/2pac were collaborating with him because hes a nobody.. same with mc eiht, UGK etc. and BIG didn't almost get killed for talking about spice 1 (and 40) either when he was out in sacramento, because spice 1 is a nobody. he isnt on soundtracks like jason's lyric, menace to society either, because he was a nobody.
the other rappers/groups i listed are either more recent or have always been underground.. but that still doesnt mean ppl never heard of them, esp hieroglyphics, who doesnt know hiero they been around since 1947

I know about 40 water and the BIG beef, but what was the deal with him and Spice 1? What happened?
it was the same incident. Big said somethin like he was rating certain rappers and said spice1 is a 2, and 40 is a zero LOL
next thing he knows hes in sactown gettin pelted with nickels and surrounded by a bunch of hoodlums smh
40 checked his ass real quick.
just further proof of big rappin about sht he was never a part of. how does a "don" get his card pulled like that. all that mafia crap went out the window real quick.
AUTOTUNEis the worst thing that has happened to hip hop.
I couldn't agree more!

Yeah I couldn't stand 99% of that Hyphy crap when it was hot and I'm glad it died out. But there were a few tracks that were OKAY:
basically early 90s mac dre is the only thing worth listening to. all this gay thizzing /feeling myself/ look at my huge sunglasses and my corny dance crap is wack.
songs like stupid doo doo dumb/ its raining game.. when it seemed he was actually trying to make good songs are what i can listen to.
"thizlamic, thiz iz what it iz, thizz iz how we do it, pill clinton".... gay ass sht.
too short, 40, san quinn, spice 1 >>>>>>mac dre
Yeah I'm not all that big on the vast majority of all his later stuff, but he had some tight sh*t in the 90's. I always dug this one right after he got outta prison:

And you could even take it a step further and throw in Digital Underground, Hammer, Oaktown 3-5-7, Paris, etc. The spectrum in the Bay is pretty wide.

LOL I read this right after posting Spice 1's video from the Menace II Society soundtrack. Spice 1 actually is huge just like those two, and so are Heiro. Del and Zion I are huge with the backpacker type hip hop heads, and San Quinn is known from coast to coast, although he is not at all mainstream. Z-Ro and SPM and K-Rino aren't all that well-known outside of TX either, and San Quinn is at least as well-known as they are.
