    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."

    I used to break down metal hangers and rigged a couple of wires together in order to get a good frequency for those stations to come in clear (WNUR & WHBK) While Living in the Robert Taylor projects in Chicago, They played the best music back in the early 80's....

    Wow... I wish people knew the rich history of Chicago Hip Hop is a GREAT story. Everyone has their regional bias though... it just is what it is. 🤷🏾‍♂️ The mainstream has NEVER pumped our scene (like they have other cities) either therefore most people don’t even know our scene even existed.. I don’t get how people think Chicago could produce a Kanye & a Lupe without a certain environment with a lot of interesting things going on. Chicago also produced Juice & Rhymefest the 2 dudes who washed Eminem... & there’s other MONSTERS like Profound, Capital D, Hell.sent, Prime, Akbar, No Pity, Rubberoom, D 2 Tha S, 3 In Da Chamba, Macadamian Thorne, The Molemen & other Chicago pioneers that y’all will never know.

      I remember bobbito played a demo by Macadamian on 89.9 in New York that I had on tape and I can’t for the life of me remember what it was. It was definitely just a demo tape and not an official release.

      Yeah most people only want to hear the drill music and all the "chiraq" stuff. Oh yeah and lupe/kanye. That's literally it.
