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."

Yo Dre want you pump it some...
@@christophermcalpin9528 i pumped it up now what's up?
He's a well spoken business man. His 2 solo albums are pretty good too, when he was in NWA he should've been featured more on the SOC album.
Agreed, Ice Cube. It would have been interesting if Arabian Prince & Ice Cube would have stayed in N.W.A. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.
One of the best voices in hip hop.
Agreed, Derrick Leachman. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.

Erick Contreras, we've got several interviews with MC Ren. Here's one where MC Ren talks about Seeing Ice Cube After "No Vaseline" & Why N.W.A Didn't Respond, th-cam.com/video/NgK4Lb9yBxk/w-d-xo.html. Check it out & let us know what you think. Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess.
Thank you for the insights. ✌ tight interview
Appreciate it, rarespeciez. We're glad to have #SorenBaker on the team. Thanks for supporting #UniqueAccess.
Appreciate it, shayla sapphire.
I loved Boyz and Dopeman when that tape came out but I also loved Panic Zone. Panic Zone and Rockberry Jam are my favorite 80's L.A. pre gangsta hip hop. Techno influenced that early 80's L.A. hip hop.
Nice, Mac Fleetwood. People tend to forget to mention those records. It's a shame. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess, as always.
Panic Zone's roll call at the end also sounds a little like Rockberry Jam's roll call. Rockberry Jam shouts out Wreckin Cru.
Indeed, Mac Fleetwood.
RIP 💪The Almighty #DJTrain 🚘🔊🚾
Indeed, Tone West. Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess.
Unique Access Ent. I'm fairly new to your channel & your interviews that I've watched so far are dope & on point. I didn't know about The History of Gangsta Rap book until I watched the debate you had about "The Last Song" by Above The Law (which btw happens to be my favorite Rap group of all time) So I went out & bought the book a few days ago. #KeepItGangsta 🔫 🚘🔊🚾
Dope interview...is there a part 2? Would like to see a Dazzie Dee interview #lenchmob
Thanks for the kind words, TheFranconr1. We've got the second part of this interview with Arabian Prince coming soon. We'd love to interview Dazzie Dee. Great idea. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.
He needs to specify that he was the first mf Professor X. Not the X Clan mf who passed away years ago. Because every time he says that ish, I think of X Clan.
We hear you, Diane V. Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess.
He right..it was actually that beat in Supersonic that got people dancing at the house parties out here in L.A. in them late 80s
He was a solo artist I saw his videos 😅 it was lit
#Legend. 🙏🏿🎶
Indeed, Dope- C. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.

You probably thought it was d.o.c I'm guessing
I don't know why ARABIAN PRINCE was not given his just due in the STR8 OUTTA COMPTON BIOPIC...
👍
I remember him on panic zone him and crazy d
Let me tell the other part's of the ststory I promoted the original version of 12 inch on Dream Team records in went to do my follow up on how the different records I was promoting was doing at the clubs I had dropped them off at. A teen club on La Cienega Avenue near the Beverly Center one of the promoters was Jason Winborn . So I was in there just chillin and the dj put on Super Sonic but I was pushing another hoe in the young kids and that club Rush the dance floor and lost their mind I called Rudy that night and told him we need to flip the single put Super Sonic on the a-side that's the single really and that's what happened
That's wild, Doug Young. Thanks for letting us know & for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.
Prince you were supposed to be Eazy you should've taken that opportunity
I didn't know that he was Professor X
Not the X Clan one, of course, Calvin Gilmore. But yes. Arabian Prince had done & contributed more than a lot of people realize. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.
We're glad you learned that, shayla sapphire. Thanks for supporting #UniqueAccess.
@@UniqueAccessEnt profesor x is pseudo for electro funk work of arabian
Wow didn’t know that Super sonic is my shit
That's a great track, for sure, Mvp_me. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.
Something to dance to didn't fuck up the gangsta flow at all.
We hear you, Steve Borelli. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.
Nwa had a friend menace to society
Say what you like but Heller took Ruthless and NWA to the next level. Arabian Prince makes it sound as if he enjoyed selling records from his car trunk more than doing it the way everybody else was doing it. It's normal that people who make you sell 3 x more records take a cut. I always liked Arabian Prince but his reasoning sounds pretty dumb here. PLus, he walked away from the hottest rap band on the planet right when they were blowing up, also not the brightest move ever....
Interesting, Brainsy. We'll have more with Arabian Prince soon, so we hope you check those out & let us know what you think. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.
Well, Arabian Prince wanted money over fame, so if he made more money doing his thing, more power to him. I'd choose money over fame any day!
Did you not hear him say they had to ASK for their mo ey? And then Ice Cube left for the same reason! They didn't get alot of money under Jerry Heller. They got FAME! So FAME is great but without the money what's the point. Too many artist had FAME but not the money! New Edition is a great example of that!
Bro, it's almost like you're not listening.
The man brought a massive hit to Ruthless to build the damn label and allow NWA to exist in the first place. Then Heller shows up and not only doesn't pay him, but he also starts withholding payment from other guys.
The "box of records" thing Arabian Prince mentioned seemed more to illustrate the fact that things were fair without Heller involved. When Heller became involved, things were not equal anymore.
Lets be honest, Heller didn't make NWA. NWA was gonna blow up regardless. Just look at the sheer amount of talent in that group and the subject matter. They didn't need Heller. I don't think Heller is a movie villain or anything, but I do think he saw that they were all young and he definitely tried to take advantage of them.
Not really dre got 2 cents a record so prince would of got the same contract he was smart left first dre made 75gz for his work on nwa music
