    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."

    Word this is my favorite Gangstarr album as well.
    Speak ya clout - that Jeru beat is one of the best beats I ever heard in my life
    Alongwaytogo - that organ sample is incredible and guru snapped. The q tip cuts at the end too
    Words from the nutcracker- I wish this was a full song. The beat was a foreshadowing of what he would do on that group home album. Wish guru had a verse on this

    Gang Starr is my ATF hip hop act and for me this is their best album. Mostly because Premo's production is at G-O-D level. 1994 was an unbelievable year for him. The best 3 songs are "Mass Appeal", "Code of the Streets" and "DWYCK". But my 3 favorite songs on the album are completely different.
    #1 is "Speak Ya Clout". The beat Jeru rhymes over is insane. I can't even explain the sound, its super creative. And the transitions are just perfect.
    #2 is "Now You're Mine" because like Soren said there was an intensity to Guru's vocals that you don't normally hear. And the beat complements that intensity.
    #3 is "Blowin' Up the Spot". Again Guru shone with some clever lyrics and the 2 song George Clinton samples are tight. And like other joints plentiful scratching on the chorus.

    Yes! This is also MY favorite Gang-starr album! It's the standout singles AND the presence of the Gang-starr Foundation that set this apart from Moment of Truth. Dwyck, Code of The Streets, Mass Appeal, Suckas Need Bodyguards. Album cuts such as Tonz 'O Gunz, Mostly The Voice, Words From The Nutcracker, Speak Ya Clout, Blowin' Up The Spot, Alongwaytogo and Now Your Mine are all fantastic! 10/10
