"The Murda Show" is a 1993 song by West Coast rapper Spice 1. The song originally appeared on the album, 187 He Wrote. It featured a guest appearance by fellow West Coast rapper MC Eiht, and this song would mark the beginning of a business relationship between the two rappers, and would be the first of many collaborations between the two over the years. Released at what was arguably the height of Spice's career, the song peaked at #50 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart.[2] A music video was made for the song and the song would be released as a 12-inch single. A sequel song, entitled The Murder Show, Pt. 2 was later recorded by the two rappers in 2004 for their first collaboration album entitled The Pioneers. The song is featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto V in the in-game radio station, West Coast Classics.
