    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."

      Big Mike's name is rarely mentioned in rap discussions. I think that would be much different had he gone to Deathrow, especially with *"Straight gangsterism"* and *"Crooked officer"* anyway, I'm glad to see this interview. I hadn't seen or heard from Big Mike in years. Good to see he's still alive, healthy and in good spirits, sharing Hip Hop history.

    Big Mike, the Original Gangsta. I always felt he was underrated and never received the shine he so deserved. Comin' from the Swamp was Somethin' Serious. Havin' Thangs like Burbans and Impalas & was Still Serious. He went from Playa to Governor with that Southern Dialect. Everybody Wants a Name and Big Mike got that respect. There were Grey Skies but it wasn't All a Dream. Heads Like us be Southern Supreme. 12 O'clock, Sunday Morning, it's the Return of the Gangsta Shit. Hustlers, and Made Men are Hard to Hit. None, is fucking with this one. None, even with a 1000 Guns. Big Mike was Claimin' Real, from the Giddy Up. From Nawlins to Houston, the first to put 2 cities up. Salute to the O.G. all bangers.

      For my self, I was in prison in mid 90s when I got a hold of the track something serious. Never heard anything like that the way he molly whooped that beat with the talk box. That's was amazing. Here's the funny thing no ever schooled me or maybe they didn't know I always thought big mike was the creator of the talk box. It wasn't until 2 yrs ago I was with this white dude a co- worker he always liked how I went deep into my hip hop memory bank and brought up old school tracks. Played something serious and I was gushing over the talk box his creativity. That white hipped me up the original master and creator of the talk box was peter Frampton. Old school rock roller, but he was just different than his counter part's of his rock era. He's the creator of the talk box check him out on you tube. Sad thing is the rock roll hall of Fame still has not inducted him yet. Why I don't know. But the dude carear was trippy , he hot back in his era then he just went ghost for 10 yrs than resurfaced again with different styles. But luv that track for ever from big mike.

    That album Hard To Hit was so low-key as it was being unheard of. But I remember that album. I remember seeing this advertisements of his album in 1999 from the XXLs, The Source and Vibe magazines. After 1997, Rap-a-Lot sound was going through transition. Hard to Hit album was the album when Big Mike sounded so angrily and aggressive unlike his early projects. Mike was right about the label. He said he went to prison. Why???? He burn one of the Rap-a-Lot office at that time. Even though I love that album, but Big Mike wasn't happy with the label. So, he was right. Anyway, the Rap-a-Lot sound from the 2000s couldn't touch the OG Rap-a-Lot sound from the early-mid 90s in my opinion. I'm proud for Big Mike leaning his lesson after serving his time in prison. I'm also happy that he's staying humble and safe without toning it down.

      Yeah, I agree with you as far as the Rap-A-lot sound and production in the 90's, they were at their best during that time. Guys like Mike Dean, Tone Capone, N.O. Joe, etc... Their in-house production team was top notch. To this day, Scarface's song, "Mary Jane", is one of the best instrumentals i've ever heard in music.

    Big mike is a true og. His verses on the geto boys were unforgettable and he was a worthy replacement for willie d in 1993... something serious was a great album, borderline classic. The follow up (still serious) was awful - and now we know why!! It is a shame mike didnt get the career he deserved because of contract desputes and jail time... he still put out some very good albums in the 2000s and i am glad to see him happy in life

    Thing I noticed is all the people signed to Rapalot aren't millionaires but J prince is well off. That doesn't seem right and he speaks about how he loves black people but Geto Boys are broke and have classic hits. Fucked up. I would never sign with Rapalot that is like signing to Suge Knight.
