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."

Didn't know Breakdown was his first mixtape under Steve...putting that info in the data bank! Tony A is legendary not only on the West Coast but on a personal level to my life. I was just a kid who worked right next to Steves booth at the Roadium!! Thank you Soren for the interview!!

Big ups to Tony A👌it was because of him i started djing and using a Tascam 424mk3 4track recorder making super mix tape👍👍

[@CaliforniaSurveyor]

Soren you mentioned you are from Maryland. I was in Northern Virginia, Maryland and D.C. area last week. Beautiful part of the East Coast. Last year I drove from Northen Virginia all the way to Jersey City and took the subway into New York.

[@doggfox]

The Legend Tony-A and Hi-C, just want to say that I got the skinless album when it came out and it was one of the best albums out there at the time and I'm in the UK, the album still gets nuff airplay today it's a favourite of mine I also have the 12's from the album so nuff respect due to Tony-A and Hi-C and I'm shocked it didn't get gold certification because its platinum to me and my people . I'm 51 and it's still up there with the bet of them.....peace 5000g

I have to disagree with him saying it is impossible to use 4 turntables at once! I did it for over ten years making live mixtapes in one shot recordings to cassette tape! I’ve seen others do this as well. I guess you just weren’t quick enough 🎣to use 4 turntables🤷🏾‍♂️

@@mreastla2953 I grew up during this time in those areas visiting those swap meets he's talking about. He connects all the dots and paints the picture that looking back makes sense now. Plus there it's nothing major that he needs to lie about he's just trying to preserve the memories of what it used to be. He doesn't gain anything by lying no need to
