The D.O.C. - The Formula (music video)

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

I get sad at times thinking what could've been if he didnt get into that accident

Hiphops biggest tragedy.

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

The album is a classic in my book. Dre and Yella killed it.

The mixing on Mind Blowin'

 

[detroit devil 3]

classic music video from a classic hip hop album

no one can do it better is an albums album. whenever i listen to it i never skip a song on there.

The energy within the first 3 tracks alone

 

[mortuus est]

will listen to his album later on tonight

 

[Big Mel]

legend. People often ignore just how far the west was ahead of the east before Wu and nas joined the scene. Outside of Kool G Rap, the West was way more talented

DOC > Rakim

get this doofy african outta here already. DOC from Dallas anyway, doofy head.

 

[Jayou Ayen]

One of my favorite songs, period.
There's a book I bought years ago called 'Rakim Told Me'.

About 20 classic albums, discussed with the artist, covering every track on the album.
Didn't feel like copying the text, so hopefully you can read from the picture I took.

[Shade]

One of not just the south's greats, but hip hop greats in general. He is also one of hip hop's biggest what ifs.

no one can do it better is an album that i really cant pick one favorite song from because its a complete album. but let the bass go is one of greatest hip hop songs of all time. the d.o.c.s flow and delivery on it is excellent and dr dre choosin to sample issac hayes no name bar song from the shaft soundtrack was a great idea.

 

[ManBearPig]

The major difference is The DOC never claimed the west. Read any old interview of his, he'd go out of his way to tell people he was from Texas.

Pretend like you knew he wasn't from there, though.

Fred.

U must never saw Beef 3

 

[Cat piss martini]

1 pre-car crash album and still
my favorite rapper.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Where do y'all come up with these goofy hip hop talking points?

D.O.C. been my dude from day 1, salute to the OG.

 

[Piff Perkins]

The video really shows how long Dre has been introducing rappers to folks. Showing him creating an MC in a lab, similar to the In Da Club video more than a decade later.

Also directly refutes the revisionist notion that making fun of Hammer was strictly an elitist east coast hip hop backpacker thing. Everyone dissed that nikka back then. He was a joke.
