Here's what some icons have to say about the book!!!
Ice-T: "Respect to Soren Baker for documenting the history of gangster rap in these pages. Some hate it. Some love it. But you can’t deny its brutal, hardcore honesty."
The D.O.C.: "History has so often been written by the victors, that you very rarely ever get the real story behind anything. So it’s really important to hear from the people that were there, which is exactly what Soren Baker shares in this book. He writes about it and he’s honest about it."
Xzibit: "Hip-hop changed the world. Gangster rap changed the narrative, and then changed the world again. Soren Baker has been a very integral part of documenting hip-hop on the West Coast for as long as I can remember. I don’t think anybody is more qualified to write this book."
Leslie “Big Lez” Segar: "Soren Baker has changed the perspective of gangster rap by putting his pen to paper. He has given hip-hop power, proven its potential, and made non-believers contemplate all of its possibilities. The truth in his writing leaves no stone unturned, something he's done again with The History of Gangster Rap. Soren doesn’t just champion hip-hop. He also reveals its flaws and its truths."

Hi-C always seemed like the level headed dude of his crew. Very likable artist if you ask me. What’s funny is, me & Hi-C knew some of the same chix back in the 90’s. Everybody always spoke positive of dude. Good Interview & God🙏🏽Bless Hi-C

[@klerktrent4143]

Man, I'm in a meeting at work, but trying to listen to this interview. I could wait until after work, but yo, it's Hi-C!! I grew up on that whole camp. Good to see Hi C getting an interview For the love of God, will someone ask what happened to JFN?? He was with the crew all on Way II Fonky, but by the time Safe n Sound came out, gone. We know why AMG wasn't around at that time, just curious. Jack move, the whole first album Skanless F a 40 oz, and the tell me what's going on track Let me know And anytime they were all on a track together..🔥💯 "He kissed Sue and said " Goodnight" I threw my left hand on his chains, I bombed with the right" "Hi C still sip pssy like soup" " My name is the Crawf, the C.R.A.W.F.O.R.D. , The poet Hi C" 🔥🔥💯

[@crookedthacon]

Man I’ve been wondering what happened to JFN as well! Tha FWN lol

Skanless is a mother%^%%% classic. Right up there with B^%$$$ Betta Have My Money, 2nd II None, and Quik Is The Name. But Swing'n is bulls%$#$. I guess Hi-C went solo and had Tony A send him a few beats. Then tried to produce the rest of the album. He fell tf off after that. AMG did too whem he released that Balling Outta Control bs. Quik and 2nd II None are the only two from that clique that had decent sophomores. Even 2nd II None's unreleased official 2nd album was classic as f%$$
