109. As I sit here, recently mourning the loss of my Uncle, I am amazed that there are people out there who actually take the time out of their lives to post such awful words. Do we really need to read comments such as

7. Keep shooting one another idiots. Is this all these thugs do?

4. OH NO. A RAPPER IS SHOT?! STOP THE PRESSES!!!!

Just for an example.

Number 7, do you happen to know Spice 1? What made him an idiot? Or a thug? He chose his career and has done extremely well for himself, what do you do? He is someones grandson, son, brother, father, husband......what gives you the right to generalize?

Number 4, So now when people are rappers, and I am sure you do not listen to any rap at all, right, we can all just sit back and not worry about it, they are just rappers after all. So when people go to the mall and shoot the place up and kill innocent people, what do we say then? When Men take their family and murder them what do say then? People who are invloved in a violent crime are VICTIMS and do not deserve to have their lives ended by anyone!

Really people, if you don't have anything nice to say, go work in a homeless shelter, expand your horizons and meet people you would never hang out with, it may make you a better person.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Spice 1's friends and family and let us all pray that he can come out of this alive and well.

110. LOL Nick Cannon was right " the paparazzi ( and the people who care about the paps)don't care about black people" you can see that from the post in this room. No one knows who he is because there isn't a camera up his ass everyday like the caucasian "celebrities" that haven't even done some much as release a bad album. At least Spice 1 was ranked 56 of the 115 best rappers. Hayward isn't a ghetto ( it's actually verrrry nice for the most part) and neither is San Francisco or Oakland. Just like any large metropolitan area there are some very rough neighborhoods.

111. Spice 1 was one of the rappers that helped move rap into what it is today. There's no need to disrespect people who actually got up and did something. Know your facts before you speak. Listen to 187 proof, welcome to the ghetto, the entire Amerikkka's nightmare album then tell me he's nobody. Freaking losers! We sit here doing nothing but looking at nonscense, at least read the items that intrest you.

113. First off, it's sad as hell that Spice got shot. Hope he recovers well. Secondly, all you people making a big deal out of other people saying "ghetto" make me laugh. No one is comparing Hayward, California to any other city except you people. Let's keep it real. Yeah, Hayward has decent areas and some nice areas too, like the Hayward Hills all around Cal State Hayward, but so does every city in the country, hell, in the world, that is considered "ghetto." Every city you crybabies have mentioned, from Oakland, to Richmond to San Francisco. Even L.A. and NY and Chicago and Detroit have nice areas. There is NO CITY in the world that is completely 100% ghetto or slummy. I don't know why you're all getting into a pissing contest about which city is more ghetto. You sound like idiots. I'm from Oakland and when you compare other cities to Oakland, not many cities are ghetto. Oakland has 100+ murders every year. No city in the Bay Area even comes close. But that's like saying if you're not as dark as Wesley Snipes, then you're not Black. I've lived in the Bay Area my whole life and Hayward DOES have problems, bad neighborhoods, gangs, drugs, prostitution, murders, assaults, rapes, robberies, etc. It is a mostly Latino city, with diversity since there ARE Blacks and White people etc. too. It is FAR from the suburbs. So don't act like it's Walnut Creek or San Ramon or Burlingame or something. And I know people in Richmond love to talk about their city, but keep it real folks, Richmond is nothing compared to the streets of Oakland.
