Why D.O.C’s Album Is a Game Changer for Hip-Hop ( Part 1 )

[@tyjacc5]

I remembered when D.O.C was Doc Tre from the Fila Fresh Crew in Dallas and we used to to meet up at different spots like Shamrock skating ( In Lancaster) End zone (In Oak Cliff), Stars(In the Grove), and other places throughout the city to hear different crews battle rap. D.O.C was a few years older than me and we didn't have too many rapper being on the radio except for crews like Nemesis and Ron C being played but when I heard "Dunk the Funk" and "I hate to go to work". I started writing myself. Salute to all the rapper from Dallas that never got to spot light yourselves but we pay homage to D.O.C!

Tuffest man alive! Was my shit.. i was like.. this dude should be in NWA 😂!

[@TPandEscomusic]

True students of this , much respect to all honestly love it

[@brandonmauricejones9183]

During the time of this classic I was 8 years old & heavy on NWA & Ruthless plus I used to watch Yo! MTV Raps & Rap City religiously The D.O.C. had the it factor & I still listen to it ‘till this day!✊🏾💪🏾💯#89classic

The DOC's album, DJ Yella deserves some credit as well in the production of this album, was the freshest album to drop from the west coast at the time in 1989. It showed that the west coast had dope lyricists that weren't just so called gangsta rappers like NWA, Ice T, Too Short, but true MC's like the east coast was presenting in the likes of Rakim, LL Cool J, Big Daddy Kane, KRS ONE, Chuck D and so forth. The DOC's album along with Above The Law's 1990 February released album: Livin' Like Hustlers (which brought G Funk to the game) were two of the dopest albums of their era and were both basically recorded in 1989. The albums also had very little cussing/nwords/bwords - just dope lyrics and dope beats with a conscious twist in many of the songs.

d.o.c one of tha coldest eva…he was tha reason eye start’d rhymin’…well, him and rakim 👑

[@primeminister66]

Top 5 West Coast and one of coldest ever along with ATL Living Like Hustlers

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Those two albums, two of my favorites of all time, showed that the westcoast was more than gangsta rap (NWA/Ice T/Too Short) because both of those albums were very different. The DOC's album had dope beats while showcasing his lyrical ability, style and flow which no westcoast or eastcoast artist was on at the time. The DOC as he said was the "freshest of the freshest". ATL's debut album introduced G-Funk to the genre and was full of dope beats, dope lyrics, conscious lyrics, with a street edge to it. Also, there wasn't a lot of cussing or nwords, bwords or either album.

[@JeramieTate]

He is from Dallas.

[@IceManLikeGervin]

@@JeramieTate I believe everyone knows that as it was said in the uploaded video. He still came out of LA with his first album after being a part of Ruthless Records. He is considered to be a west coast artist - it's not where you are from but where you are at.

[@JeramieTate]

@ I’m suggesting not to put the D.O.C. in a small box like that. He is arguably the greatest rapper of all time. You played that album all the way through, no skips. The man had an album with 97% no cursing. One of the greatest rap albums ever by one of the greatest to ever do it.

[@antwoinechester9371]

I agree with you 💯 slept on by a lot of people but in Chicago we was bumping both cold shit 🤧

[@LanceG007]

Keep this thangs coming great episode

[@biggdough1]

Salute to D.O.C

[@thomasmcginnis2782]

D O C's album ruled Saint Louis sound systems the summer it came out. That's when they started passing out the "loud music" fines ". So much talent. His contribution to the art is underrated. My 1st set of personalized plates was FNKY NF...Much love and respect.

[@prolificcdpg]

Chuuuuch🌴🐾🏁

[@JeramieTate]

He should be in the GOAT conversation

[@MrMaroonmen]

Top ten LP, easily

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Career too short just like Biggie... neither are top 10. But their debut albums could each be argued as top 10 albums.

[@JeramieTate]

@ Biggie was trash to me. Great is great. He wrote for Eazy, the Chronic, NWA, Doggy style , & his own album. What do you mean? He taught Snoop!

[@IceManLikeGervin]

@@JeramieTate Ice Cube, Ice T and Tupac are the top west coast MCs. After that you got Spice 1, E 40, DOC, Too Short, Kurupt, Boots Riley (The Coup), Baba Zumbi (Zion I), Paris, Richie Rich, King T, WC, Kam, MC Eiht, Cold 187um, Ras Kass, Xzibit, MC Ren, Gift Of Gab (Blackalicious), K Dot, and a few more in the conversation. Snoop without the DOC guiding him is a weak rapper. After Doggystyle Snoop fell off and never got back up to his lyrical delivery level on his debut album.

[@JeramieTate]

@ I go back to King T, King Sun and Mix Masterspade. I knew Richie Rich when he was in 415 and when Tupac was rapping with Ray Luv. I will do you one better. I got a Ganster Ern tape , he was from San Diego . Check out Askari X . The DOC , Too Short, Ice Cube, Scarface, & Rakim should be a subject in any GOAT conversation. MC Hammer and Doug E Fresh are the greatest entertainers in concert. Run DMC is Run DMC! Whodini best Old School duo and 8 ball and MJG have been the best duo over the last 3 decades and still together.

Ice cubes verse on the Grand Finale is the verse EVERY rapper needs to be considered a great. In this case The greatest of all times ICE CUBE! For youngstas, J cole is what DOC was.

[@mikemuthafunkinpage]

Ice Cubes best verse ever

[@Omowalemayasa]

Wtf is cholestreol? 😂😂😂 I agree but that line always cracks me up

[@JeramieTate]

@@SlickemStickem you said a mouthful! The whole posse went in. I like the folks on Parental discretion is advised also.

I was 12 and knew Ice Cube played himself with that cholesterol line. It'll never not be goofy.

I have bought his Heltah Skeltah album by D.O.C. and thought it had dope dope beats and always wondered if his voice wasn't messed up, that album would've been something.

[@mvcentertainment5295]

I knew @doc was something special when I heard of female Spittin “funky enough“ word for word… he said he took that picture in front of the statue because he wrote a rhyme one time and prayed to God that he made him successful ..He would give all glory to him and that’s why he took that picture for the cover

[@Chris-o7w6w]

I remember he dethroned BIG DADDY KANE and took the #1 spot on the countdown. Everybody was shocked.

Every west coast lyrical artist who came after The D.O.C, was influenced by THE D.O.C

[@arveediscatafire9204]

Yeah, but now days so called Hip-Hop is ga'bage
