520    The History of Gangster Rap is a deep dive into one of the
       most fascinating subgenres of any music category to date. 
       Sixteen detailed chapters, organized chronologically, 
       examine the evolution of gangster rap, its main players, 
       and the culture that created this revolutionary music. 
       From still-swirling conspiracy theories about the murders 
       of Biggie and Tupac to the release of the 2015 film 
       Straight Outta Compton, the era of gangster rap is one 
       that fascinates music junkies and remains at the forefront
       of pop culture. Filled with interviews with key players 
       such as Snoop Dogg, Ice-T, and dozens more, as well as 
       sidebars, breakout bios of notorious characters, lists, 
       charts, and more, The History of Gangster Rap is the be-
       all-end-all book that contextualizes the importance of 
       gangster rap as a cultural phenomenon.
