The D.O.C. interview by Playboy Magazine (April 2013 issue)

[surv2syn]

Yeah I think he's trying to pull new artists out of his home town. Salute to him. I'm glad he didn't let his accident discourage him and he's continuing to be involved in the music.

Lord knows Dallas needs it....

His debut album shyts on a lot of classic albums. I still listen to it. Jay-Z was giving him praise in his decoded book. (I know that doesn't mean much of anything, but Jay-z doesn't really give anybody praise like that)

No skippable material on that album.

yes, album was a classic without doubt and he first caught my ear on NWA and the Posse. I have been pumping Apollo Brown and O.C.'s record..."The Formula" a homage to the D.O.C.

Deuce was a good album. Although he didnt rap on it much he produced the bulk of it.

He was a major influence in East Coast and West Coast hip-hop.

 

[Skooby]

The Formula is one of my favorite songs.

He's like the unofficial 6th member of N.W.A. He was part of the whole movement.

You can't talk about hiphop history and not mention The D.O.C.

 

[Shade]

One of the greatest rappers to come from the south. Hell one of the best rappers to have came out period. I really wish he didn't have the accident and was able to live up to his potential.

He was the closest to being a perfect rapper. Great song writing, producing, beats were on point. Really wasn't a bang bang, "shoot em up rapper himself, just confidence and charisma before it was renamed 'swag" Impeccable flow and delivery. If he had put out another album before the accident, he would be talked about being top 5 dead or alive.

 

[surv2syn]

back in 87 when he said.."I'm an annihilator, standing a full 6'3" and I really dont think u wanna fukk with me!" we was wildin out over that line. may not sound like much now, but back then, one of the illest lines up at that point.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

yall hear that Helter SKelter album? some of that sh1t is flat out scary

 

[Cat piss martini]

I've said it for years.......he is the greatest
Mc to ever touch a mic.
1 album and nikkas are still talking about the kid with
the golden voice.
the studder step/tongue twist is his.......twister,bone thug etc bit the DOC.
coppin that issue on GP.

 

[JuvenileHell]

Yup, The DOC's potential was INSANE from what I've heard. Dude easily could've become one of the more prominent MCs in the 90s. He absolutely killed the songs on No One Can Do It Better.

Life can be so fukked up...dude's rap career came to a halt with that accident.

Simple as. I remember my dad showing me "the formula" video back when I was like 15 or something (21 now), and I remember being an old East Coast hip hop fan and to hear a dude with flows like that from the west with that still west coast vibe weird thing was I could Never get past The formula on his album cause the shyt was just too fye, I truly never listened to the whole album.

jerry heller said doc could have had his voice back back in the day but he said doc didnt care he just wanted to smoke and drink

 

[El Jefe]

dem dudes were lost .. all dat talent n half dat shyt sounded terrible ..no wonder dre scarapped detox

 

[Flav]

DOC had THE BEST voice in Rap when his album dropped.It was just amazing to hear a voice so full and loud mixed with those deadly lyrics that boy was with the perfect Rap voice.

I was gonna say this, if he wasn't an alcoholic he could have got it sorted, hell Dre was willing to pay for his surgery recently but he never went through with it.

Deuce was dope, Six Two was a good vessel for DOC. The last album he really worked on was Blue Carpet Treatment, and that was Snoops last dope album, results speak for themselves.
