1990-Sick 1995 Album

Spice 1

I listened to this straight after listening to his follow up, 'The Black Bossalini', and less stands out here. Again, like all the Spice 1 albums I've checked out, which at this stage is just his '90s records at this moment in time, it's a solid, consistent body of work, but I don't come away with as much. 'Sucka Ass Niggas' takes it back to the '80s, with Spice borrowing some classic Run D-M-C lines. 'Snitch Killas ' borrows from Ice-T's classic 'I'm Your Pusha'/ Curtis Mayfield's 'Pusherman' for the hook. 'Faces of Death' feels odd. It kind of feels like a demo and is the worst song here. I give Spice credit for trying something a little different with it, but that one doesn't work. His albums either side of this one, 'AmeriKKKa's Nightmare' and 'The Black Bossalini' are better than this. As the ratings below show, it's mostly all good, but the production and hooks aren't as great.
