Maybe good for 2001 when the book came out, but that was almost 15 years ago. DJ Vladmir Putin has had artists from Death Row talk about their stay there. There's a guy on YouTube called JMIX and he does interviews with artists close to 2Pac and Snoop Dogg. He asks questions that you actually wouldn't have thought of or even knew the alleged answers to.
Good looking out. I'm going to check out this JMIX guy
