The DOC on Dr. Dre, Eminem, Suge Knight, Snoop, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Erykah Badu (Full Interview)

Interview by: Justin Hunte

[@kofiboateng1241]

This is my first time seeing DOC being interviewed. Well spoken individual and a humble guy. Much respect to him.

[@johnniewalker23]

He's this way in any interview I've ever seen, always humble and always positive.

[@DCranYT]

You should definitely check out his older interviews with Vlad 💯

[@germxv]

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

[@CMH_1975]

FACTS

[@BigMac785]

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.

[@ejomena808]

No questions about it

[@ejomena808]

​@@BigMac785also wrote for the Chronic 2001 album too

[@soleking78]

All factual!

[@trevorstine8647]

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.

[@NatHenrickClarke]

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]

Imagine if DOC were to create an album using AI-type vocals and recorded..would he?

[@bedrock6443]

@@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.

[@ST-wn7zt]

@@bedrock6443 Doc can still rap after the accident tho, he has an album made after he lost his voice

I got chills hearing D.O.C describe reasons for not drinking. I stopped drinking on August 13th 2018.

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!

It’s impossible to not like The DOC.

[@daedevillewrestling]

The DOC really should do voice acting for cartoons. Could spawn a whole new career.

[@jordanbass705]

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?

[@daedevillewrestling]

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

[@jordanbass705]

I am a Dallas TX native & no one can do it better that DOC!!! He is a Dallas legend!! He is the formula 🎯🔥

[@Chas-te7uz]

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

[@pv1nny714]

Much respect to The DOC

[@bahamutskingdom]

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.

I used to listen to DOC when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.

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

[@jikosauce]

I need the whole DOC discography. Where can i find it. I want ever verse. Same for Kane

[@seldomsceen]

Somehow the beard NOW matches his voice

[@ChrisBarnette-zk8iy]

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.

[@mauricekiner1835]

❤ my favorite rapper of all times, I'm 50 though, then 2Pac, DOC, MOST ICONIC RAPPER EVA 🎉❤🎉

[@Supreme36074]

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.

[@CGRuthlessSports]

Great storytelling. Legend in the business. Looking forward to interview him.

If u think about it that boyz in the hood beat definitely sound like a east coast beat it’s got the rock guitar stabs that Rick Rueben was known for with run dmc and beastie boys and ll cool j the west coast didn’t really establish themselves sound wise until NWAs second album that tape was the first time sonically that you could point out a definitive west coast hip hop album then the chronic blew that out the water

I like the way he answered the "Biggie/ Ice Cube" question. Very diplomatic response. BIG's my GOAT. I like Cube. I just never connected with his music on a personal level. I see him as a director and actor.

[@Supreme36074]

Would mean you’re under 44. It was a evolution. Cube was probably just as respected in the hood & a bigger artist in his prime. Biggie came along a few years later after Cube them kicked in the door & took it to the next level flow wise.
