The D.O.C. Reveals: I've Lived With Dr. Dre for Most of My Life

The D.O.C. has worked closely with Dr. Dre over the years, and the Texas-born rapper and writer opened up to us about their long-standing friendship, revealing that they have gotten into some "monumental" fall outs. However, they've always managed to come together for all of Dre's projects, including Detox, which The D.O.C. said he was working on since 2005. "The Formula" rapper explained that Dre initially "wasn't ready" to work on the project, and after the tracks started leaking online a few years back, Dre "went back underground."
During the conversation The D.O.C. spoke to us about one of the blowouts he had with Dr. Dre that centered around him not having his own money and essentially living off of Dre's dime. Afterward, The D.O.C. revealed that "I've lived with Dre most of my life," aside from a time when he lived with Snoop Dogg when they had a falling out, which you can hear more about in the above clip.

[@carlg2089]

I've been telling people for years. D.O.C deserves a whole lot more credit. First of all he was an impeccable rapper. Constantly ghost writing for people. Giving Dre all of his genius. Just like Dj Quik never gets the credit he absolutely deserves.

[@rb3060]

I swear to the realist and people who know about this music era The D.O.C is a legend he is so underrated. If it wasn't for the accident he would have put out so many great music. Probably some of the music that was rapped from other people he probably had some written down for himself. I bet the first songs that were given to others he probably already had it visioned for himself. It was the accident that kept him back for awhile. He probably just found someone of his style to rap for it. D.O.C is the shit he is the reason why so many songs were put out. Even till this day he is the one of the only that is great but not given the credit he deserves. Only people that know him personally and that are real close to him give him credit for being up there with them. The rest don't even mention him the way they should only the ones that were given the honor to share the studio with him know the real D.O.C. im not saying he fell off and wasn't as good nomore but the only thing was that he had to stay off from rapping for a long time if he would've gone back to rap. Even after he had rest he still didn't have the same vocals he did before the accident. Which in my opinion he should've done one last album before completely leaving his rap career. He didn't have to rush it or make it in a certain time he could've taken his time because at the end we all know what he went through. So if he would've made one last album or ah couple of last songs everyone would've been right there with him supporting him. From the rappers if he would've had them on some tracks to the fans being there for him with all the love and respect shown to him. We all would have loved to see him one last time on some tracks before he retired.

He still made a major contribution, but this dude was basically a living legend before the accident. He would have gone on to make an immeasurable impact/contribution to the music. For my money, I honestly think we could have been having different conversations regarding the music today if he'd put his voice to records throughout the 90's and into the 2000's.

Bro why are u shouting 💀

[@SuliyemanBouboul]

That’s not true for Pac. He got famous from being with Digital Underground and from being on their song “Same Song” and at the time of joining Death Row he was already a mega star because of the success from Strictly 4 My Niggaz and Me Against The World. He didn’t get famous from joining Death Row

[@shoominati23]

Special Ed and DOC were my MAIN boys for go to jams back in the late 80s u hear

[@savathmey3201]

Sad to hear the man worked hard for his shit and ain't got shit for it😑😑😑

[@moeskeetz5473]

D.O.C is a straight Legend! A Lot of people ain’t hip

[@behindthelenstv8734]

Good Insight from DOC, very honest moments he shared about his life. Respect to the legend.

[@SamarIqbal1-2-1]

Doc is very calm for some one being screwed over by dre! I would be cussing him out like 2pac on hit em up!

[@JP-en6cn]

No he got discipline no need to act a fool he's a humble brother

[@Akaya7777]

Plus him and Dre and friends you dont go talking shit about your friend to a random interviewer if you have a problem you say it to their face

[@xDreMack]

He knows not to bite the hand that feeds him

[@shadcharleston]

"charged him up" is a Dallas term, D.O.C. representin'.

[@joemontez8103]

Right?!! Vlad was lost there..lol Big D represent

[@yeahisaidit5633]

Yea that’s us all day

[@cynthiasolomon6383]

It's a West Dino term.Peace

[@nicksanford7390]

No it has nothing to do with Dallas. Like shut up. It's been said all over TX and other places for decades.

[@TonshalaAdams43]

Definitely a D-town lingo!

[@whatwhat9004]

I like how he smiled and said Jay-Z cracked the lock on the Still DRE song. Snoop even talked about how him and DOC were working on that song for days and couldn’t figure out how to do it.

[@xkluzivtv]

true friends never see eye to eye on everything. that's what makes them true friends.

[@districtmusic1440]

[@patrickfarrell1491]

They respect his skill so much eventhough his voice is affected , they always take care of him no matter what. And its not out of pitty but Love.

[@hysteriastyle]

This guy was a fucking legend. New generations can learn so much from this dude, keep the games straight!

[@jottaz144]

I heard somewhere that the "next episode" they talk about in "nuthing but a g thang" was actually a different song that never came out

[@justforkicks6755]

Respect. Definition of maturity.

[@marcb4364]

This is one of my favorite interviews. The D.O.C

[@williamclark8864]

This dude should have a lot more of Dre's money.

[@billan888]

DOC is a true homie.

[@bigchun420]

great interview a legend that needs his story told, thanks for years of great music D.O.C.

[@carllee9479]

This is the realest you can get in the hip hop industry. Nobody would’ve known this if DOC didn’t share this story.

[@sethmerson1756]

if you watch an Alonzo Williams interview he says Dre got his name as DR dre because everyone said here comes doc and dre
