As a 15 year old, I fondly remember mowing lawns armed with my walkman, wearing out DOC's cassette. Between songs, he states something to the effect of "I feel like I have all of the knowledge there is to know." ...and thinking "so true, I agree DOC, we have all the knowledge there is"... as I pushed that lawn mower under the Florida sun. LOL Yes, we were both a little over-confident in our knowledge back then, to say the least. I still love that album. Great to see/hear that the DOC has such a positive attitude in life and didn't take the lower path after his devastating accident. Also, good to hear about his great vision for creating a youth center to promote music and technology. Lots of respect for the DOC. We are still and will always be learning.
Bro. He’s top 5 lyricist. NWA, Eazy-E, Chronic, Doggystyle…. He shaped a whole generation of “gangsta rap”. Just his catalogue til Suge kicked him out of Death Row is crazy. My favorite NWA member who wasn’t a member.
D.O.C is a legend, selfishly we wish he hadn't lost his voice, but it could be no where near how he felt. Even with his tragedy he still found a way to contribute to some of the greatest songs and artist we love, he seems to have found peace and thats what matters, salute to the Diggy D.O.C!
@@KuzzO_Bahn I mean thats the good stuff bout AI. It can give people who don't have a voice anymore or at least the voice they don't have anymore a place to make music. But if it is in the wrong hands it can cause destruction. In the case of the DOC it could lead him to create another album that he otherwise would be unable to create. AI in the right circumstances can lead to really good things. And since it can replicate voices it can lead to albums being created (willingly of course not by force) by people who have lost their voice.
Dude to this day.....when DOC speaks we listen. This man is intelligent all around, but he is a intelligent man on the genre. He always has his finger on the pulse of rap. He is beyond legend, and so humble with his status. Check his work out y'all. It is some of the greatest. His rap songs he did to the productions and behind the scenes of the music now. He is a monster pillar of it.
The kids born born after 1990 will never really appreciate how OG this gen of hip hop was and how many true MCs have come since. Only maybe 5 today I like. The rest is nonsense. Just marketing
DOC and Big Daddy Kane were my 2 favourite artists from the mid 80s into the early 90s when rap changed forever and the whole Gangsta era started. I feel their harder edged shit was the sword that drove the music to start the whole gangsta / f-funk era ultimately
@@daedevillewrestling I totally agree I like his voice he got now I can always go back too listen too his first iconic album nobody can do it better with his original voice.
The man was ahead of his time, in a era when the flow was changing. He stood at the time along with Rakim, Kane, & Kool G as the top lyricist is the game imo. 1989-90. Him losing his voice is was crazy at the time. Stunted his growth in that sense. He’s raps version of Penny Hardaway or Grant Hill.
So, back in 2001, I lived with The DOC’s producer Erotic D (who did the Helter Skelter album) and was also one of Dre’s producers. I was an aspiring rap artist who had been on The Queen Latifah show twice in ‘98 and ‘99. The first time I was with Snoop Dogg who wanted to sign me but couldn’t at the time because he had just signed to No Limit. He turned me on to Erotic D since I lived in Dallas. During that time, I met the DOC first at The Men’s Club, where he listened to my album while we sat in his Benz. The second time was where he lived at the Southside on Lamar where he and Erotic D were planning on making another album, of which I was going to be on. Nothing ever transpired after that, as I moved back to Washington State after getting married and decided to pursue a different avenue. About a year later, I spent several days with the CEO of Ruff Ryders in Seattle and was in talks about signing. I would have except my manager fucked off the deal by asking for too much and ruining any chance I had at success. DOC is the real deal. He was gracious and very humble and to this day, I respect the hell out of him as one of the pioneers
For once this new AI technology could be put to good use. Reviving the DOC's career as an artist and giving us atleast 2 more albums using an AI voice generator. If he and Dre can pull this off how dope would that be? I'm here for it! 💯
His time has passed. I just wished he never would have lost his voice in that accident. He was on his way to perform in my city and had the wreck. So yea never got to see him in concert. We were all waiting to see him and then ICE T came out and told us about the accident.
Bless you D.O.C. Whirlwind Pyramid & Portrait of a Masterpiece used to tear the dancefloor apart in the day, i would drop them along with Wrath of Kane, Lyrics of Fury and Poison , but on top of that your first album was perfect! it had everything. x x x
Ice Cube still has the greatest debut rap album of all time. The stories he spits make you feel like you're reading a novel that's a literature masterpiece.
❤this guy man, all the best to the D.O.C. A living legend of Hip Hop/Rap. Grew up on his music and balled hard in the late 80's early 90's. N.W.A. was the shits my nigga. A movement like that will never be again🤙🏾👌🏾🤟🏾👊🏾
With how much disrespect he gets because folks these days know him more for movies than anything, but that mutual respect between Cube and D.O.C. That they give each other is amazing.
Now im sweatin now im nervous cuz you din said dat 🤣🤣🤣🤣.... Talk about DOWN TO EARTH. Yo real talk DOC in all of us and we all DOC...legendary truth to the game💪🏾💯💪🏾💯💪🏾💯
Respect Always to The D.O.C. Forever. But Boston we we’re all White,Black,Latino,Asian Breakdancing in late 70s! Huge EpicMusic Fans and I’m on my 3rd Album as the Realest White MCs in the World. Rap is Huge in The Bloody Bean. Always has been.I’m shocked People in Cali don’t know about how tough Boston is???Always has Been!!! 👊🏼🥊🥊🥷🏽👐🏼🤘🏼🧱💯Respect,Salute from SouthWest Quincy\Boston Taxachusetts
The question about how was the aura when they was recording the chronic album the interviewer should have clarified what was the excitement like recording those songs not the element surrounding them while they were recording The Chronic album. Still a awesome interview.
Over the "The Bridge is over" By BDP and your from NY🤔 I'm from Philly and I know better than that piece to Schoolly D "PSK" first gangsta rap song facts" 85" 🧐
I already think it is the best...2nd to none..but I never thought about it about him making it in the east coast...classic...these are the certain reasons why cube edges the greats..and can rap on any beat..most rappers can't do that
D.O.C. is one of the best to bless the mic and the pen. I'd love to help you with Dreams Experience. I am a enterianment industry computer programmer, happy to help.
This is my first time seeing DOC being interviewed. Well spoken individual and a humble guy. Much respect to him.
He's this way in any interview I've ever seen, always humble and always positive.
You should definitely check out his older interviews with Vlad 💯

If DOC didn't lose his voice.....the whole pecking order of people's top 10 would be different.

No questions about it
@@BigMac785also wrote for the Chronic 2001 album too
All factual!
I got chills hearing D.O.C describe reasons for not drinking. I stopped drinking on August 13th 2018.
good work mate.
I'm still bumpin my NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER cd around town in 2023. YOU HEARD!!!
I had that shit on cassette.
I wore that shit out. lol. Had to grab the cd in 96, last NWA track ever on the Grand Finale. Funny fact, no cussing until the last track.
it's a timeless album that still stands proud against every hip hop album ever made, it really was a portrait of a masterpiece
Insane album
Mad love to what DOC brought to Hip Hop and the humble attitude he brings to the space. Much needed in this game. TY Legend!
D.O.C is a legend, selfishly we wish he hadn't lost his voice, but it could be no where near how he felt. Even with his tragedy he still found a way to contribute to some of the greatest songs and artist we love, he seems to have found peace and thats what matters, salute to the Diggy D.O.C!
Imagine if DOC were to create an album using AI-type vocals and recorded..would he?
@@KuzzO_Bahn I mean thats the good stuff bout AI. It can give people who don't have a voice anymore or at least the voice they don't have anymore a place to make music.

@@bedrock6443 Doc can still rap after the accident tho, he has an album made after he lost his voice
I am a Dallas TX native & no one can do it better that DOC!!! He is a Dallas legend!! He is the formula 🎯🔥

His music reached us here in New Zealand, late 80's. Still playing it now. Never gets old, just gets better with age.

It’s impossible to not like The DOC.

I need the whole DOC discography. Where can i find it. I want ever verse. Same for Kane
He still looks handsome!!!
Salute!!!! ❤
The DOC really should do voice acting for cartoons. Could spawn a whole new career.
I agree tho with the voice he got now but from your opinion do you believe his original old voice is coming back one day?
That would be a blessing if it did. But his voice now is very cool and unique. Could see it in the Marvel or DC universe
@@daedevillewrestling I totally agree I like his voice he got now I can always go back too listen too his first iconic album nobody can do it better with his original voice.
he has done many einstein think before you flap your gums
@@vincerodriguez209 That’s great! What has he done? I couldn’t find anything when I googled it before I posted
OG. Very genuine and humble guy. Peace. From the heart of Africa
❤ my favorite rapper of all times, I'm 50 though, then 2Pac, DOC, MOST ICONIC RAPPER EVA 🎉❤🎉
Eazy duz it, straight outta Compton, no one can do it better. WOW
Legend! The D.O.C. should write an autobiography.
The man was ahead of his time, in a era when the flow was changing. He stood at the time along with Rakim, Kane, & Kool G as the top lyricist is the game imo. 1989-90. Him losing his voice is was crazy at the time. Stunted his growth in that sense. He’s raps version of Penny Hardaway or Grant Hill.

Great storytelling. Legend in the business. Looking forward to interview him.
I used to listen to DOC when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.
Huh?? Those ages aren't adding up
@@Tj21415 he's got benjamin Button disease.

The DOC is a wonderful human being.
The DOC is among the greatest of hip hop artists. He should be in everyone's list of the greatest. Period point blank.
