1. its amazing how many ignorant people are on this site. if you think being a rapper equals death then that shows how narrow your mind is.

2. Obviously, some of you ignorant jerk-offs don't have a life if you're posting comments about something you know nothing about, but this is TMZ, so I'm not surprised. Spice 1, in my book, is one of the top ten most influential rap artists of our time and I'm relieved to hear that he is recovering from this unfortunate incident. We just lost Pimp C, one-half of the legendary texas rap group UGK, and now this!? If Spice 1 would have died, I would have lost all my favorite rappers I grew up listening to. Keep ya head up, Spice. Don't let these haters get you down. R.I.P Pimp C
