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’m Shock G the one who put the satin on your panties”...Rest In Peace my brother 🙏🏽
I just want, so damn much, for all of our mc's, dj's, and producers to live to nice, ripe old ages, and to get their heartbeat props while they're here. This is ridiculous, it's not right, and I'm angry. We need to take better care of our people, and keep their names out there.
Thank you for sharing this, Soren, and I'm even more glad that you're one of the ones providing a platform for these men and women that paved the way and kept it strong and thriving.
Well Said!!!
Mom say's "Bring flowers to my door and not to my grave." Love them while they're here 😞
Bring my flowers now, while I'm livin'g
I won't need your love when I'm gone
Don't spend time, tears, or money
On my old breathless body
If your heart is in them flowers, bring 'em on! - Bring my flowers now - Tanya Tucker
Heartbeat Props
True 💞 that 😌
Man Freaks of the industry is a classic!!! Shock knew how to merge funk and hip hop seamlessly. Rest well Shock G/Hump thank you for sharing your genius!!!
Digital Underground was the first concert I ever went to. Had so fun partying with them. It was Too Short, Digital Underground, 415 & Dangerous Dame. R.I.P Shock G 😞

RIP to a real genius, the great Shock G.
Rest EZ Shock G ... Your Contributions are Greatly Appreciated
Thank you Soren for giving Shock G his flowers in life, as well as during his transition from this life. The man was ahead of his time in many ways, and let’s not forget he was a very talented instrumentalist too. You said it best at the end” Pay homage and show love to the ones around you” Rest In Power Shock G
Thanks for sharing your love for Shock G, Soren.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS HEARTWARMING APPROACH TO REPORTING ON SHOCK. I can’t mess with other outlets, probably out of fear of them using the “Another Dead Rapper” tone. Keep doing your thing. One love.
Yess this is the best one!
DU had some of the most creative videos, stage presence and album/CD artwork. DU was great live on stage.
Shock G brought the P Funk to hip hop...RIP
Digital Underground and Too $hort introduced me to P-Funk through their samples and style...
I saw the same show when they came to Chicago. It was great and digital underground will never be duplicated. They embodied "the funk" in a way that was uniquely Hip Hop and that was because of Shock G's vision. Rest In Power. Great tribute.
Thanks for this! Other outlets never gave Shock and D.U there proper respect and flowers they deserved. Shock G was way ahead of his time 🕊🙏🏽
This one hurts... Shock is one of the people you expect to live forever 🙄 😒
RIP
I grew up in Toronto listening to hip hop day and night throughout the 80s and 90s and had a similar testimony as Soren Baker. I had all D.U. and Raw Fusion's albums and loved them. I never saw them live but Shock G's music will live on forever.
Soren, u mentioned Raw Fusion!! I found the Live from the styleetron tape at my middle school's in school suspension Room 6th grade '91. Lotta Ppl sleep on "#1 with a Bullet", the last song w/Pac.
That is a GREAT album. "Wild Francis", Hangtime" and "Throw Ya Hands In The Air", to just name a few...
They came to Gary,In... 2 PAC didn’t come and everybody wanted to see him they said he was shooting Juice movie.... they rocked out that night...90-91..... great times
We're going to have to start checking in on our people. What a shame. RIP Shock G.
Rest In Power Shock G. Another hip hop hero passing Away condolences to his family
Thanks for making this, Soren. Shock will be very missed.
Great, timely post.....everything stopped for me last night when I heard this news. I was a big fan of DMX and had met Black Rob, but this news hit hard. I was at that same show Soren -- Cap Centre had some great shows back in the day!! Way to go Mr. Baker for taking you guys!!
This one hit home, man. Give the legends their flowers while they're here, not when they're gone! R.I.P. Shock G. 😞
RIP Prince Markie Dee, DMX, Black Rob, and Shock G. 🙏🏽s for the families!! Big Up Soren BMore Baker, and Unique Access!!! 👊🏾
Thanks Soren....This one hurts HARD....Capital Center, great memories there. D.U. were so underrated and they had SOOOOO many talented artists that came from the group. Of course,2Pac ,Money B, Raw Fusion...I always said that if Pac had stayed with D.U. he would've been more grounded. "Who Got The Gravy" and "The Greenlight EP" are two of my favorite albums that didn't get much rotation by the main stream.
Great tribute, Soren. The world has lost a true musical genius. Bought Sex Packets as the original cassette version and that album is a masterpiece. RIP, to Shock and Humptyness forever.
Very sad news, rest in peace Shock G a truly unique and original artist.
Heart-felt. Glad you did this video
My personal memories Digital Underground was my first record, it was the Humpy Dance 12' single. I put the needle the groove on that one. The funny cartoon picture of Shock G on the cover. I was about 17 years old and drove with friends from Ontario to Daytona Beach and Yo MTV Raps had a stage set up on the beach by the hotel I stayed at. Digital Underground played on the beach. It was one of the best times of my youth. Good Times and fun memories. How time flies. I'm funky I like my oatmeal lumpy... let me hear a little of that bass groove Durrrrey Durrrrreyy Durrrrey! Bless
RIP Shock G. The guy who handled groups Digital Underground Raw Fusion and No Face in his career. A musical genius and a scholar.
The way Shock made it sound back in the day, sex packets was not just an album concept. It was something someone he knew was really trying to make.
R.I.P OLD SCHOOL LEGEND so many memories with his music freaks of the industry we will remember 🙏
I went to the concert when it came to Chicago in 1990.
I remember that tour!!! I was 10 and my mom took me to the show at the Norfolk Scope!! I forgot tours like this used to actually come through Charleston SC back in the day!! RIP SHOCK G!!!
Schoolly D is an artist that so many don't credit with inspiring others . Schoolly Schooled the rap game.
Great Video, Prayers for another legend 🙏🏼🥀🤴🏽💝
Such a sad loss, I'm jealous of anyone who saw DU live, they must have been amazing.
RIP Shock G
Coming from the bay, I interned at a legendary recording studio, The Grill. After a few months of interning, when given the chance to speak to the owner, out of all the LEGENDARY bay artists to ask about, the first person I asked if he met was Shock G.
“Greg? Yeah. I know him. Cool guy.”
Shock G always made benign yourself cool. Love him. Respect him. RIP!
It really hit me when I found out he passed. I cried, which I don't really do when someone I don't personally know dies. I was trying to figure out why I felt that way. He is one of the greatest, for sure, but I bump other artists way more than Digital. Why did this one hurt like this? But you hit it... he was the guy who was always SO COOL by just BEING HIMSELF. That was a really important thing for me at that time in my young life, to see how cool you could be by being yourself. Thank you for saying that.
@@trackatlas6626 All good Atlas! I feel you. Yeah, Shock got love from all the bay cats, although they were on some gangster shit, Shock was on some 'I'm being me' shit. Shock G was the prototype 'for being yourself'.
RIP Shock G. Damn this hurts. I remember playing the whole Sex Packets cassette over and over when I was a kid and loving the whole album (and I was pissed that the CD was missing 3 songs that were on the cassette). I used to love all the music videos they made, and would be hyped every time one would come on Yo! or Rap City. Like Soren says, it's like a piece of my childhood being taken away. Much love to Shock G & Digital Underground family.
Just heard about this - only had a strong reaction to a couple of artists passing, David Bowie, Prince, but the news of Shock G leaving us has hit very hard. Thoughts to his close ones.
2021.....Its only April and we've lost Shock,Rob, DMX, P. Markie Dee and Ecstacy. The way this COVID thing is going, we will never experience concerts the way we used to.
Yup. End of an era honey it's real.
@@oliviarodrigues2323 For sure,I'm already OUT because I refuse to wear a mask outside for a concert or sports event
@@ravenaider Right on 👊... I'm not allowed in any stores because i refuse to wear shoes or a shirt... They're trying to control us. FIGHT THE POWER
The music industry be changing so fast it's hard to Keep up with true visionaries, leaders and innovators, Digital was right on time with its look, style and message! We don't even have young rap groups no more! Good video for recognizing greatness ,R.I.P. Gregory Jacobs (Shock G and Humpty Hump) always stayed the same even with 2 personas!
Yes they made great music. You know it wasn't till the late 90s that I figured out that shock g was actually humpty hump lol. I know I was slow on that one but that's the greatness of shock, RIP brother.
Danger Zone was my favorite track. RIP Stock G
The way that baseline growled!!!!!!!!!!
That track hits HARD... "Bitch, I'd rather give a crippled crab a crutch"... "Why you wanna clown me"... "It's simple, I don't like fiends hangin' 'round me"...
Musical Genius, Sex Packets way ahead of its time 🙏🏾❤ RIP
R.I.P. this ones hit hard. thanks fr this Soren
Rest easy shock. Definitely a pharaoh. Thanks for the words Soren. Your story made it that much more real to knowing about him
Good looking Soren Baker much love from Oakland Ca Rip Shock G
Heatbeat Props for our brother Greg Jacobs/ Shock G/Humpty Hump. Rest In Power & Peace. He never got "No Nose Job", no sellout.
Rest easy, Shock G. (I didn't know when I was a kid that he and Humpty were the same guy either - lol)
On another note, Soren -- you are amazing. Thank you for documenting the culture. It's during times like this when we can't talk to Phife and we can't talk to Shock G that your interviews help document their legacy beyond just listening to the albums.
Rest in Power Shock G. You attended a MEAN CONCERT!!! Heluva line up when you think that PAC, Hev, Trouble T Roy, and Shock G have all passed.
Hi, From The Chi Lites Musician Son Darren Cubie ♥ I Exstend My Condolences To Shock G Family 👪
We Appreciate Your Inspiring Music And Fun Sprite, I'm Inspired To Tale Pride In My Black Entertainment Industry From The Inspiration You Brought With 2 Pac And Digital Under Ground Your Music Continues To Delight And Entertain Us All.
RIP Shock G
AH...damn. Hip-Hop's takin a lot of shots in the last year. Excellent tribute Soren Baker, couldn't have been easy to do. Funny how at the time DU wasn't considered Ol School by any meana but now that you're 40+ they definitely were. Wonderfully so. RIP 🙏😞
Digital Underground forever! I like the way they swing! R.I.P Shock G. Thanks for entertaining us with your crazy style man!
For real. I saw DU perform once at Red Devil Lounge in SF (with Mac Mall and Ray Luv as surprise guests). I ain't seen nuthin' that funky...
@@trackatlas6626 Wow bet that was a spectacle and a half! I've been to see quite a few artists but can't say I've seen many West coast artists here in the UK. Bar maybe Pharcyde/Jurassic 5 and People under the stairs. I love a lot of the Oakland groups though, $hort, E 40, Spice, DU, The Coup, Souls of Mischief, my mind couldnt handle it if I ever saw these cats live! Haven't got into Mac Mall yet but i hear he's a legend.
@@doctorvonbrown881 All the YBB/Romp cats are great, and when Khayree was producing for them, it was even greater. Check out Mac Mall "Illegal Business", Young Lay "Black N Dangerous", Ray Luv "Forever Hustlin" and Mac Dre "Young Black Brotha: The Album". Also look for Young D Boyz (I don't know the album names, but he produced them) and his solo release, "Khayree: The Blackalation". Good stuff.
@@trackatlas6626 Cool thanks that's really good of you, definitley gonna check them out. I also forgot to mention Richie Rich/415 how can I forget! Oakland got so many big names in the music, respect!
@@doctorvonbrown881 I actually still have a 415 cassette tape!!! The one with "Groupie Ass Bitch" on it..
I was at that concert too when they passed through Chicago. I remember the dolls.
RIP Shock G! I love him💕😘🙏🏿
Such a talented man.
He did some of the most creatively important things for Hip-Hop, and music in general.
I never met him, but I will miss him.
PEACE
Rest In Palaces god!!!! The Hip Hop FunkaTeer!!!!! Shock G🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿✌🏿✌🏿✌🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿Much love from one of your best FANS!!!!!
I literally memorized the first four albums and still listening to them and the entire catalog. Shock is an amazing artist overall. Definitely a musical genius and top 5 HipHop producer all-time- no question. Rise In Power.
Thank you
Didn't know about the artwork. Super creative man!
"Take the Train" which I can't find in its proper form anywhere - RIP Shock G. Time is moving fast 🌹🔑
It's called "The DFLO Shuttle"
ruclips.net/video/z9C53nOkqeM/видео.html
Just a follow-up, this song is called "The DFLO Shuttle", but there is STILL another version of this. RIP Shock G we will never forget. WHOLE world was open to us.
"The D-flowstrumental" - thanks Tommy Boy Records. This was SO IT taking the train back in the day to work, school and back to work. Hotep and Build!
This is a sad day for a lot of People. RIP 🙏 Shock G.
RIP OG SHOCK G much love Sorin 4 the respect 4 hip hop and 4 Humpty hump.
This man was a certified GENIUS!!!
Rest In Heaven To Shock G In Da 21🌇💿💻😍🎄🎓
Rest In Paradise. Sending Prayers to the family.
R.I.P. Shock G thank you for your POSITIVE contributions to the culture.
RIP Shock G, Rest Easy LEGEND!
Future Rythm might be my favorite album from DU.🙏🏿 Shock G
Mine too!!!! I especially like "We Got More" and "Fool Get A Clue". Wait, are you THE Freddy B? From Dangerous Music?
He passed away, crazy.
I saw Shock G/DU perform in person at X-Fest Summer of 2007 Modesto, Ca. I couldn't believe my eyes because I was a fan since 1989/90..I had a big smile on my face the whole show and when Shock looked at me the smile got bigger... hope he didn't think I was smiling in that other way lol just excited they were there...... peace
" what race are you talking about? my car ain't got no number on it" -Shock G
goddamn. double k, now shock g..
EDIT: unfortunately, my dad just made this list 4/23.
i didn't think it could get worse than 2020, but 2021 is hella worse. it's not even half way through, either.
Sorry for your loss!!
@@dorisd8907
thank you so much.
I can tell for you this was a very heartfelt video Soren. I appreciate all that you do, it really means a lot to many people who fell in love with the Hip Hop culture we all love and cherish so much. You have contributed a lot with all your interviews and other things you do. You always keep it real, MUCH LOVE! Peace
Shock needed more Heartbeat Props.
This was a great video, you brought me back to the 90s, and you broke it down with great history, very on point.
Shock G was sooooooo damn talented!! Under rated as a producer
Awe you had such a cool Dad. I'm glad he was part of that memory for you.
I couldn’t agree more Shock was a brilliant mind and contributed so much to hip hop! I hope he gets the recognition he worked hard for and truly deserves RIP 🕊🙏🏽
Thank you Soren Baker - Shock loved ya my brother....
RIP MR Piano Man
hey soran, i watched some of the videos you put together and all i can say Its dope and it shows that you appreciate hip hop music as much as I do. and thanks for uploading this video dedicated to Shock G who just passed away too soon and it happen too quickly like Woah wtf? same with black rob and DMX. Its way overwhelming, my head can't handle three people passed away from last week to this week. Its crazy. I grew up listening to hip hop from 1986 -traveling back and forth going to new york for vacation. and 89 was just a beginning, went to montreal and my uncle had a record shop so i used his djing fooling around and ended up becoming a dj. still djing currently. Anyhow Im looking forward of seeing of your videos in the near future.
DU was my first concert and I still remember how great their show was and Shock was a huge part of that. RIP!
Excellent video my brother, salute to the king
Thank you Soren for commemorating the Great SHOCK G! Much LUV TO THE G and the DIGITAL UNDERGROUND FAMILY! RIP HUMPTY!
BIG SHOUT OUT TO MR.BAKER
I had bought the set packets cassette, because of the humpty dance. But once I got home and listened to the whole album, I was blown aways. I was like all these songs are radio play .. of course the sensors would not allow it. But the album was so different, the beats the rhymes, and like you say, different characters...MC BLOW FISH... to this day one of my favorites. I had a neighbor that had his Suzuki samuri hooked up, he had a bad ass so d system..two 15z were in place of the back seat, and we would cruise it in Santa Ana, bumping DOWATCHULIKE... best memories...
Well Said Soren ....Hold on to your good memories of brother Shock G. Rest Easy Shock G You & Your Music will live on in our hearts & minds forever. 🙏❤🎶
Great remembrance video! Thank you for sharing! Cap Center was in my backyard so made this reflection even more real!
I'm right there witchu Soren. It feels like a piece of my childhood was ripped right outta me. The past year it feels like Hip-Hop Armageddon. With all the legends passing.
That’s real rap 💯😢
i grew up listening to D.U. as well and i was totally blown away because i thought Shock G. and Humpty were totally different people, so DOPE creatively
It was an honor and also a personal appreciated moment to see Chris Clarke as shock G and the Tupac movie knowing that shock even supported it.
RIP Shock G / The packet man 🙏
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !*
_Tappin' in from South Central Los Angeles_
Damn, what a way to start a Friday morning...
Thanks Soren. This is news to me ! I hv to say that the one song by DU that I still knock in my lowrider is:
"Slangin" them nouns and verrrrbs,
You couldn't hear me with binocularrrrs.
I guess I'm just a little different kz I _do_ love them hoes,
Just maybe not the same way that I love my nigga-roes !"
Oregano Flow.
Rest easy Shock/Humpty Hump.
✊🏾✊🏾
Super special and a super fuckin integral part of “ the street science “ Shock G made us all feel like we were part of the underground,,, rest in peace my brother,,,,.,,.
Great tribute bro. My first concert as well but on the opposite side of the country. I wore that Sons of the P album out! It's a good thing that we're rapping was on rewind!
