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."

The whole Hit Squad story needs to be made into a biopic.

[@UniqueAccessEnt]

You said it, Mysterelom. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.

[@GlassTarantulah]

To me 'straight up sewaside' is a classic. Das Efx one of the greatest duos.

[@Marvilloso]

Dead serious and straight up sewaside are classics

[@waakiylhardy3888]

Hold it down was a CLASSIC.

[@derrickjohnson8504]

No doubt

[@freedomilla]

Hold it down is an underrated album. Still listen to it to this day!

Awesome. Thank you so much for the interview. Really appreciated. Much love and well wishes to Das EFX. Jussamen that's on the mic.

[@rooseveltdarbey9493]

Great Crew I liked these guys if they could have All did an album together. EPMD, Redman, K-Solo, Das Efx, Keith Murray, Jamal, Nocturnal.

[@freddi_myers9467]

That would be lit 🔥

[@91Definite]

Got damn! The album would’ve been crazy but I don’t think today it could work. But maybe back in the day? It would’ve been monumental but who know in the studio cause Wu had egos! I can honestly see Sean P and ODB wrecking in the studio 🤣

[@Mr.Majestic77]

@@91Definite EPMD, GZA & Buckshot all on one track still could happen in 2022. That, or a Ghostface Killah, Reakwon, Keith Murray, K-Solo & Smif-N-Wessum (aka Coco Brovaz) collaboration

[@mustafahajj]

I thought the same

[@yznerf23]

The Dasses are super dope duo,I have all their music and still expecting new stuff-Kraze!

[@91Definite]

He done a solo album “Showtime” which was in 2012. It was an okay album although it wasn’t production from producers like Pete rock or DJ Premier

[@fastesteddiealive]

I was the only one w the das efx tape in 6-7 grade and everyone made fun of me. Smif n wessun buckshot boot camp I loved that crap n everyone else hated it. It’s all that was on rap city and fab 5 Freddy n yo mtv raps. It’s all we had back them

[@dmoney668]

Das is so good, incredible

[@UniqueAccessEnt]

Agreed, dmoney668. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.

[@kabeyz]

@9:35 common first album was heavily on some diggety das efx. As far as LOTUG I can see where he coming from. Yo das efx really set the trends for a lot of artists afterwards

It’s funny I really liked straight up sewaside. I think it’s the last hot album mostly because am a solid scheme fan. They did the whole album and I got used to that

[@nathanharris7815]

Solid Scheme are dope producers.

[@maleekpate6770]

Classic in my books, I enjoyed it a lot more than the 1st

[@seanberry1969]

[@dopeopolis]

That Showtime album was an instant classic. Drazy is a super dope lyricist.

[@UniqueAccessEnt]

Definitely, dopeopolis. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.

[@RussellMills1877]

One of my favorite DAS EFX songs is real hip hop because that beat was booming and their lyrics are tight. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.

[@UniqueAccessEnt]

That's a great song, Russell Mills. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.

[@juliancolvil5124]

I completely understand why he said he regrets not doing features with the guys he felt bit their style. He was justified because they all did!!! However, the mass majority of artists stole from KRS ONE! From Guru to Wu Tang to Eminem and he didn't trip. He knows he taught everyone how to rhyme, but wasn't salty about it. They know who taught them how to formulate a rhyme even though they didn't admit it! He maintained his relationships with them and capitalized off of them when necessary.

[@UniqueAccessEnt]

Yeah, Julian Colvil. KRS-One is often imitated. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.

[@ThaMizphit74]

I remember Common saying Cube "went from gangsta to Islam to the dick of Das EFX" on "The Bitch in Yoo", when he did the exact same thing on his own first album. 😆

[@CEENAS646]

Wow bro, your remember lol.. I still felt him but he sounded like a combo of Das EFX and Biz when that first album dropped. One of many who had "Das EFX syndrome" 91-94..

[@box5bastard277]

Finally, someone other than me I heard say this. Always side eyed that common line. Nigga had ny style production and das scheme, and topics in his verses lol yell

[@91Definite]

@@CEENAS646 yea Common was still was tryna find his voice in hip hop. When he did “Ressurection” he was solidified 💯

[@mustafahajj]

@@box5bastard277 Can't hate on Comm. Things were still biased in hiphop for non NYC emcees. Resurrection though ✊🏽 now that was Chitown representation.

[@91Definite]

@@mustafahajj I always heard that album reflected so much on Chicago. That album should've went Gold then

@9:46 Common Sense? What was he biting from Das?

[@dariuszkopec2567]

Erick discovered Redman,and Parish discovered Das Efx thats self explanatory.

[@UniqueAccessEnt]

EPMD judged a talent show in which Das EFX performed, so both E & P were there together, Dariusz Kopec. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.

[@dariuszkopec2567]

@@UniqueAccessEnt Yeah they were both but in Redmans case decisive sentence had Erick and with DasEfx Parish then in both cases started real friendship. So after Epmd broke up these rappers stay loyal to their main discoverers and friends.

[@trevorjames4619]

DAS stood for the names of the members Dray And Scoob, while EFX simply meant Effects. That's it.
