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."

Great interview. This is my era of rap ...Kane, Kwame, Special Ed, Stezo, Biz Markie, Heavy D, Kid and Play, Mc Lyte, etc. Man...such great memories. A fun time being a young teenager. I miss those days.
Daniel Robinson, we're glad you enjoyed our Kwame interview. #SorenBaker said that's probably his favorite interview he did in 2019. Did you see the second interview with Kwame? We had Kwame discuss the Impact Of Biggie Dissing Him & Being The President of Struggle Nation. Here's the link, czcams.com/video/Nk0vQOdVCbo/video.html. Check it out & let us know what you think. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.
Word
Ironically, though Hurby was tellin Kwame that lyrical rappers wont go anywhere due to the hardcore stance and lyrical complexity, those same rappers (ie Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, G Rap) are legends. Kwame is a legend and an icon to me though he's not at all considered in the ranks of the Golden Era rappers. He proved you can be your own man and bring something to the table.
It's interesting, indeed, Amoni Strong. Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess.
Hurby was no Diddy
I wish I could go back to the 80's , just to get the feeling of hearing a song for the first time. social media messed up everything and no one wants to admit it .
Dude.....nothing more true on CZcams. Great observation.
Yeah, Valentino Icon. Things just aren't the same. In this instance, we think it is not for the better. Alas. Thanks for supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
Definitely, Mr. Motivation. Thanks for supporting #UniqueAccess.
@Valentino Icon, man I still remember how I felt when I heard my first Rap/Electro track. I was blown away and i can even picture my expression. It would have been a shocked face as if I'd just seen a ghost. I would luv to relive that buzz.
Sample Bobby Byrd and James brown drums and horns. Play a synth bass line, shakers and gogo drums. Find some little kids to make funny raps about dancing, having better style than the next and random story telling. Give them a wacky style, nothing too provocative. There you go
FINALLY SOMEBODY WHO INTERVIEWS WITHOUT DOMINATING THE INTERVIEW SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW WHAT A RELIEF
Wayne Gooden Shout out to Vlad. Lmao
Funny, Wayne Gooden. We're glad to have #SorenBaker on the team. Thanks for watching #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.

Yeah I really like his interviews. Very professional not trying to start controversy.
@@angelstricklandiii6200 I agree with that. But I was irritated enough with the timing of the chiming in.
This was a really good era in Hip Hop when Kwame was hot... Kwame, Salt n Peppa, Kid N Play, BDK, Special Ed... It was a good time. I was in middle school and it was the best time of my life.
Me too. I was growing up in TAMPA, FL. Nothing but NEW YORK MC's/DJ's in my boom box.🎤🎚️🎛️🎶
You said it, Megan Robinson. That was a magical time in rap. Did you see our episode with Dana Dane where he explains why Salt 'N Pepa's "Hot, Cool + Vicious" is one of the #BestAlbums?

Yes, Jarrel Ely.
Kwame is dope. I was bumpin the hell outta "The Rhythm" and "The Man We All Know and Love" when it came out. That whole late 80s era is special. Kwame is a damn good producer as well. 1988 will forever be etched in my memory as the greatest year in Hip-Hop IMO. Great interview!
Thanks for the kind words, Trey Trey. We're glad you enjoyed our Kwame interview. He's definitely a great rapper and producer. We'll have Part 2 of the interview coming soon, too. We appreciate your support of #UniqueAccess.
Yes, the rhythm!
I'm from London UK and went to Bronx NY from 87 to 91 boy it was A magic time in hip hop and one of the greatest times of my life, I was 17 when I went to NY and it changed my world and life big time...Soul Train, Video Music Box, WBLS, Kiss, CoolAid , Slice Pizzas, Shopping in Fordham Road, Basketball, Coming To America movie, High Top Fades ... EU, Doing the Butt, Epmd, Kane, Salt & Pepper, Al b sure, Guy, Heavy D and the Boys, KRS1, JAZ O,Tribe called Quest, cool g rap, Eric B Rakim, Kwame, special Ed, PE, Fight the power music Video, Spike Lee Do the Right Thing, block parties ect ect most definitely the best time of my life!!...
It was a great era, indeed, MANGO ZOO. Thanks for watching & supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
@@UniqueAccessEnt I'm so glad I experienced it especially coming from London...my friends don't understand stand here when I tell them what it was like in the states at that time in Hip Hop
Bro let me give London and Europe in general for at least at that time embracing our GOLDEN ERA so-called underground artists. To provide you with an example, THE BEATNUTS have to taste European love and never come back 😆. Shout out to my fellow NYC Dominican-American B-boy JUJU. First Hip Hop Your ever early 80s was in London.
who is down voting this? kwame is legend. and if you don't know, soren baker has been in the game for decades. he's an og journalist who wrote for the source before many of you were born.
Thanks for the kind words & support, t3rr3nc388. Kwame has been putting it down since the 1980s & #SorenBaker since the 1990s. We appreciate you watching & supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
Mr. Soren well done my friend I think this is probably one of the best interviews I think I have ever seen besides the great Arsenio Hall. I like how u are patient and let Mr. Kwame talk, and complete his thoughts without bringing up gossip, and distasteful topics brother.

"I do my own thang, speak my own slang, B in my own swang.....know what I'm sayin'?. 'Cause baby I'm a star. U know who the hell I R?". Respect 2 The Kwam.
I was 14 when Kwame came out and shit was lit the blonde streak the polka dots the dancing all that shit was new and dope at that time and we loved it
You said it, TRAP tv. Thanks for watching #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
Dope interview! Kwame is a certified hip hop legend and music pioneer.
Appreciate it, rondeisel. We've got Part 2 with Kwame coming soon. Thanks for watching & supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
Thank you for the kind words, rondeisel. I always have a great time talking with Kwame. I think this conversation was particularly insightful. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Kwame was my first favorite emcee. I'm glad to see another old school cat that's stil eating good, flying under the radar, but doing well nonetheless. It's a real blessing when you can make money doing what you love for so long.
spainman2020, definitely. Kwame has a lot of great material coming up soon, too. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.
It's good to see my man Kwame
Definitely, harold bishop. It was great having him on #TheSorenBakerShow. Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess.
n-damn-deed ✌️™
Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess, marcus.
Good to see Kwame after all these years and the brother is still looking young💯
hey this Del The Funky, shouting out...excellent crazy interview, Kwame is a big influence because he was so advanced when he came out and reminded me of myself so much...I did a show in Jersey a while back and got to talk to him, he wanted to hit the show but couldn't...dumb cool, his production is fire too. Learned crazy shit from this, I always draw parallels to get deeper understandings of the present and possible the future, so this was crazy. Keep up the good work bro ;)
and he was 16!! younger than me & you!! lmao
i felt like he spit better than his affiliates salt n pepa & kid n play.
you already know we was on your 1st album, but no need for alarm was just bananas!!
stay up, del.
Teren Jones word he was a great rapper back in the day the rhythm still my favorite joint by him
Jarrel Ely I gotta say kwame cause I really didn't listen to jaz o no disrespect to jaz
Jarrel Ely No I don't

Just stumbled across this interview. Very well done. Kwame' was such a breath of fresh air during the late 80s early 90s. His songs "Ownlee Eue" and "Oneovadabigboiz" are my favorites. Loved the drive and direction of those joints. The latter is so positive and encouraging. Promoting self-esteem and individuality. Kudos, Kwame'.
We're glad you found our first Kwame interview & that you enjoyed it, iluvmyboba. He's got so many great songs. We've got another great Kwame interview where he talks about the Impact Of Biggie Dissing Him & Being The President of Struggle Nation as well as other aspects of his music & his career.

@@defmaster88 check me out maybe we can do a freestyle collab of some type jus for the fun and art no profit....
Like word is bond...Kwame is SO underrated, underappreciated, and undervalued. There were so many kats with a blonde streak in their hightop fade...including myself. Much love to u Brother. U shaped alot of our hiphop experience bro. Same thing for Steady B & Special Ed.
You said it, Opaque28. That's why we wanted to have Kwame on #TheSorenBakerShow. He delivered a lot to the game. Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess.

Great one-on-one artist interview. Not the hyped shyte with someone on and hawkin' their upcoming - whatever... No diggin' up old dirt, no shade to other artists; just down to earth and straight up conversation. I pushed the audio of this through my house system and it almost felt like Kwame', Soren and I were just kicking back choppin it up. Respect to you SB for the style and format illustrated on this interview. Just subscribed and plan to keep following.
Yea I agree with that wholeheartedly man he is a raw host, he even lets Mr. Kwame talk with out cutting him off, and or interrupting. No instigateing, no gossip etc very well done sir.

What a damn good interview! Hats off to Soren for asking good questions, letting the artist go, and for doing the homework. So great to hear the details and stories behind one of the all-time classic hip hop albums. Always a Kwame fan, but even more so now. Smart dude with hella talent. Kwame's got a well of great stories and ideas to share, and this show is the perfect platform for that. Great stuff!

Beat biter go bump duck alert by Craig g
@ 44:34 Meanwhile when people talk about the legends of Hip Hop, the names of Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap and Rakim are mentioned but basically no one mentions Kwame. He was good doing his very short run but he is pretty much a trivia question in Hip Hop history. Hurby " Luv Bug" was WRONG! What worked for female Mc's ( Salt and Pepa ) wouldn't work for men. Matter of fact most never mention Hurby as a legendary producer and dude did have a big impact during his era. Powerful lyricist stand the test of time, it's the simplistic bubble gum BS that doesn't last . Ironically enough, Kwame was a good lyricist with a slick delivery. He just came out in an era of Hip Hop giants.
Interesting, A. New Paradigm. Kwame still produces and tours, though (he's going to be performing in the DMV with Dana Dane, Chubb Rock, Special Ed & Monie Love tonight, in fact). He made it. Thanks for watching & supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
At the same time
People (we, us, me, you, them) use the term Legend too losely imo. Kwame wasnt a "Legend". He was just one of many talented people who was just that much more talanted than the rest...worked that much harder than the rest...stayed that musch more determined than the rest, and as a result👉 "made it". After which, fame was a result of it.... Yet, everyone has a back story but it doesnt always have to be "LEGENG-ary" as people are making it out to be...just because you are dis-covering their becomings. Feel Me?
Funny you mention bubble gum, it's a Migos song. They are far from legendary but they act and their fans act like they are timeless. Dust in the wind, time will tell.
Indeed, Me You. Great points. Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess.

Let's not forget Steady B early joint when he took LL's radio.
LL came to see him but Steady didnt want it
Carl Muhammad That's correct. I'm sure will x know this but wants to sneak diss.
Yeah Hurby Luv Bug Starsky look at the success and fame of Rakim Allah and The Big Daddy Kane compared to yours. I'm sure your words are weightless now 🤔
Dr Fangaz Hurby has made more money than the both of them put together. I’m sure he’s not bothered.
LONNIE HALL Money? What does that have to do with being known for their talent and image? Are you crazy or the type to push the sell-out, pop, weak, sugar coated, mediocre, bubble gum irrelevant crossover rap music? Hurby had to clear all those samples used bacc then and he's not getting any checcs now from those songs. If anything, those royalties are going to the original copyright and Publishing owners. Kane and Rakim still receive royalties for their publishing as writers for songs and videos that are still playing to this day. Is Hurby touring and getting money? Is he recognized in public and getting kiccbaccs? Hurby was a biter anyways. Trying to sound like Hitman Howie Tee
Soren Baker is the man and Kwame is a legend. Respect!

Indeed, onlyrog5. Thanks for watching #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
THAT HAT JUST GAVE ME SO MUCH INSPIRATION!!

Nice, Delander Henley. Kwame is super talented, for sure. Thanks for supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
kwame my guy your music was 🔥
I wanna say you started the Polkadots trend.around 1990 you came to my block in baltimore city with my homie Angelo .
This was (and still is) my guy back in the day!! I WAS this dude!
It’s obvious Hurby didn’t know what he was talking about when he told Kwame Kane and Rakim wouldn’t make it.
Indeed, cubedmack. Thanks for watching & supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
When I try to put myself in the frame of mind that Herbie had to have back then I think maybe he was thinking that hardcore bulshit don't nobody want to get jiggy with that they need this happy Snappy popshit I make that other s*** too hard...... that's the only thing he could have been thinking, in my opinion.
It's definitely an interesting thing to think about, CD Shawn. But regardless, Hurby was having so much success that his way was definitely working. Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess.
@@UniqueAccessEnt no doubt I ain't trying to dis the man cuz back then I was still trying to learn my "get up on this" scratch with the Salt and Pepa Push It album.....I bought a few of s&p projects but could not pull myself to buy a kid and play project
Got it, CD Shawn.
Great interview!!!
Great interview. Why was your video quality so much better in 2019 vs your recent videos??
Damn, I remember WKTU with Paco. And the best rock station in New York was WPLG. Then there was WSOU pirate radio at Seaton Hall University and WBLI in Long Island. SOU would play underground metal during the day, avanti gard jazz fusion in the evening then hip hop late at night and BLI would play hip hop at night. Listening to those stations was like going music school. You learned who and what was important and the history behind what you were listening to. Especially when the show Liner Notes would come on SOU. They talked about all kinds of obscure facts on how different songs were created, how the engineer came up with certain recording, what the producer was think when he was asked to producer the recording, who created what, who arranged what, how bands got together. Man, things were really different back then. I even remember the music building out in Queens.
Yeah, marc777danielle. That was a different era of music & what surrounds it. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.
Dope interview..I liked how he explained everything in detail.... I was only 9 when his 1st album came out but I always thought he was from Philly and I told him thru social media after finding out he was a Queens native and I know I wasn't the only one who thought that...It must've been the Tat Money affiliation I said.
Appreciate it, Prah Eightsixty. Kwame delivered a lot of great insight. Thanks for watching & supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
This popped up in my suggested videos. “One of the big boys” was MY JAM!
We're glad you caught it, Will Schoewe. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.

Funny, o01q2w3e.

Timestamps on the Rakim/BDK comment? Thank you
Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess, tochiRTA.
@ 43:46
@@DDylast thank you!
@@DDylast did he talk about the "Style played out like Kwame and the fuckin polka dots!"
@@DDylast cheers 🍻 *”me old china”*
Damn, Kwame was very creative 👌 👏 👍 !!!! God bless him.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm 46 so when Kwame and all the greats at that time was all about having fun.
You said it, Leo Martin. Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess.
It was most likely BLS, cause that's the first station I heard it on! BLS & 98.7 Kiss was the two stations on 🔥 late 70's - early 80's....
Jason Hazel, most likely. Thanks for the support of #UniqueAccess.
rakim is the goat period no discussion great interview kwame i liked him as a artist as well had his own lane
Biggie is why his era came to and end.. once the king of ny diss you it's a rap...
Kwame's era is still going strong, DaRel 2men and a Mic show urban talk videos. He's producing for a bunch of artists & still touring. Thanks for supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
I used to do security at the Music Building!! Great mention. Historical place!
Nice, Wendell Williams. We're glad you enjoyed that. Thanks for watching & supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
@43:46 is where he starts to talk about Hurby saying lyrical rappers like Kane and Rakim wouldn't make it.
Indeed, D Dylast. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.
Great interview from Soren with The Boy Genius!
Yeah, HD Investments. This is one of our favorite interviews on #UniqueAccess. Thanks for watching & supporting #TheSorenBakerShow.
One of the greatest stories I’ve ever heard about music history. Kwame is great. And his style is not played out like those f@ckin polka dots. Lol
moehammondmedia, Kwame dropped so many gems during this interview. We're glad you enjoyed it. Kwame is still dropping hits, too. Thanks for watching #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
I CAN VOUCH , KWAME ,,SPEAKS,, 100% THE TRUTH..I USE TO SEE HIM ON OCCASIONS FOCUSED..IN EAST ELMHURST QUEENS. EVEN BEFORE HE BECAME A RAP STAR HE WAS PERFORMING TO SUPPORT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD ...WE KNEW HE WAS GOING TO MAKE IT. ME/ MY CUZ ANTLIVE..R.I.P./ AND MY CUZ ERIC B WAS TOLD BY HURBY..PEACE AND ALL PRAISES ..FED.D///THE PAID IN FULL FAM..
Nice, Lorenzo Bailey. That's history right there. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.
REALLY DOPE INTERVIEW WITH GREAT MUSIC INDUSTRY INSPIRATIONAL STORIES KWAME IS A EARLY RAP VISIONARY LEGEND MUCH RESPECT ✊🏽 I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND KWAME, MADE MY FIRST DEMOS AT CHUNG KING IN 1984 & 1985 AND MADE MY FIRST LANCE ROMANCE ALBUM AT CALLIOPE RECORDING STUDIO IN 1986 & 1987 - 2/16/21 - LANCE ROMANCE 😊
R.i.p b flat I engineered all of 5th platoons demos at “lil Rascals studio” in the late 80’s. Shout out to my dude nugget.
Wow, G Branch. That's incredible. Thanks for watching #UniqueAccess.
Soren when you re edit, I like to hear an instrumental during these great interviews.
Thanks for the suggestion, Mike D. We appreciate your support of #TheSorenBaker show & #UniqueAccess.
One of my fav 4 MC's
Shan,kwame,steady b, slick rick
Purchased all of kwame's albums, and even had the dye, but had a step instead of a streak
Yell
Nice, BOX5 BASTARD. That's a different, but great, list. Thanks for supporting #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
@Jarrel Ely jaz-o
Great interview! Honestly? I didn't even know Kwame was still in the game. I don't think I've heard his name since 1990. I enjoyed hearing him talk and he seems to be doing well. Good stuff!
Yeah, Carlos Clivilles. Kwame has stayed in the game & has been doing well since he came out. It was great talking with him. We're glad you enjoyed the interview. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccessEnt.
Somewhere out there is a picture of me and Kwame... I'm at a black expo watching something and a flash goes off... I look over and this chick with a camera is smiling. I'm like why did she just take my picture? She must think I'm Al B Sure. She comes up and ask the guy standing next to me for his autograph. I look at him and I'm like who the hell is this guy? Turned out to be Kwame. Loved his music once I heard it.
That's a funny story, As you sow, so shall you reap. Thanks for watching #TheSorenBakerShow on #UniqueAccess.
I get flack about this in any favorite rapper conversation, but Kwamé is in my top 5. I almost got into a fight about 20 years ago during a Kwam vs Jada argument. A Day In The Life, Nastee, and Incognito have been in constant rotation since they dropped.
Yeah, Artful Dodger. We'd roll with Kwame over Jadakiss, too. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.
I know I'm sounding like a fanboy, but his is the only autograph I've ever gotten, from ANYONE. He wore his name like a mirror image. He performed at a club in Fayetteville NC, and I went, knowing I didn't have a ride home. I walked 8 miles home that night.
That's crazy, Artful Dodger. Dedication.
Dope interview ⏸
Thanks for that, GRATIOT BOSS. We're glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching & supporting #UniqueAccess.
Lets collab
