Earlier today, we announced that Raptalk will begin an interview craze seeing us drop three interviews a week every Monday, Thursday & Saturday -- We begin right now kicking things off right with a west coast legend...

It’s only been a handful of months since Raptalk hooked up with the legendary DOC for an exclusive two part interview. In that epic feature, Raptalk went through the entire career of the DOC from the debut album, to the accident, to the fallout with Dr. Dre, to Detox and what’s going on now with the potential voice fixing surgery. So why interview the legend again just five months later? After a five month hiatus with no news apparent on the surgery or how Detox is coming along, fans and readers became weary so it seemed the right time for this interview – which is why Raptalk went out and chased down this feature. Read on to get an exclusive look at what is going on with the surgery, Detox and more major announcements from The DOC…
Raptalk.Net: The legendary D.O.C. is back on Raptalk.Net with yet another interview in just a few months. Speaking of a few months, that is when you made a monumental announcement regarding a potential surgery that would allow you to get your original voice back. What is the status of this surgery and are you still going through with the process?

The D.O.C.: Yes that is what’s actually going on; I am still going through with the process. It’s taking a little bit more than I originally expected but I’m too far in to not go through with it. I’m not sure if it will be getting back the exact voice I had or exactly what percentage that I will be able to get back. They’re pretty positive that it will be something that I can use, so I’m going to go through with it.

Raptalk.Net: That’s good to hear because some fans were concerned because they didn’t get an update in a while; they were worried maybe you weren’t going through with it anymore.

The D.O.C.: Well really I’m trying to focus on Dre’s record as much as I can because it’s so important for me to help this guy finish his record and get it done. Usually I keep to myself.

Raptalk.Net: That is why we appreciate you speaking to us. I definitely believe that and we’re going to get into that of course. Last time, you explained to me that it is a dangerous procedure. Are you more excited or nervous?

The D.O.C.: Maybe a little of both. The thing about what I’m going through, it’s a lot more painful than I thought. This shit fucking hurts. It’s a struggle but like I said before, I’ve come too far to not see it through. If I don’t see it through, I’ll always have that shit hanging over my head. It’s like I have to do it.

Raptalk.Net: How excited is Dr. Dre for you to go through with this?

The D.O.C.: I think Dre is more excited than me. I think that he is one of the guys that wants it so bad. He feels like we have some unfinished business. He is always telling me I fucked his money up (laughs). I think Dre just wants me to have an opportunity to really get my voice back but it’s a struggle and it’s tough. Like I said, that shit hurts a lot more than I fuckin’ thought it would. But I’m a soldier and I’m going to ride it out.

Raptalk.Net: Wouldn’t that be such an appropriate title for the final DOC album with Dr. Dre? “Unfinished Business?”

The D.O.C.: (Laughs) I like that kid. It’s not bad, I may use that.

Raptalk.Net: (Laughs) that’s what I’m talking about. Of course this would allow you to put out one last album. Is it too early, or have you thought about a theme for the album?

The D.O.C.: Yeah, it’s way too early for that. They may go into my neck and fuck some shit up and I may not be able to speak at all. I don’t want to put this shit on the ether like that but who knows, I have to focus on one thing at a time.

Raptalk.Net: When is the next appointment for the process?

The D.O.C.: Late September I have to go back in and they have to stick me in my neck again. It basically sucks but like I said, I’m filming all of this shit so win, lose or draw, I want everybody to see how fuckin’ difficult it was to go through this shit. So I’m filming every fuckin’ thing they do to my body because I want motherfuckers to see it. You want reality TV, I’m gonna’ give you some real reality because some of this shit is graphic.

Raptalk.Net: None of that scripted stuff. So you have filmed everything thus far? It is a possibility that we may get a TV show or a documentary out of this?

The D.O.C.: I’ve filmed every fuckin’ thing. I filmed every thing that I’ve had to go through. I’ve got it all documented.

Raptalk.Net: Have they even given you a rough time table of when the whole process may be over and done with?

 The D.O.C.: Nope, because I’m really taking my time with it. If I had to guess a date, I’d say late spring next year; maybe around April or May but my attention is somewhere else right now.

Raptalk.Net: And I imagine your talking about Detox. Is it possible that the surgery process may be over with in time to land you a verse on Detox?

The D.O.C.: Hell no. Hey, we’re trying to be done with this record by November.

Raptalk.Net: Wow! This record should be done by November?

The D.O.C.: That’s right. I think we have enough songs right now but Dre is Dre, you know. Will be doing it until he gets the 12 that he is in love with. But I do think we have enough right now. I don’t think he’s putting it in as hard right now which makes me believe that we have pretty much what we need. So now we have a 3 month window to fuck around.

Raptalk.Net: So would you say at this point in the entire recording process, were as close to having Detox finished as we’ve ever been?

The D.O.C.: Oh yeah. This guy has really great music and it’s some cool shit, but it’s up to him. I think they just started promotion for the Slim the Mobster record. I’m not sure but somebody hit me over the web and said they heard that they finally started promoting the Slim the Mobster so if Slim is coming, I don’t think Dre will be that far behind him.

Raptalk.Net: Is it true that Mel-Man has made some recent contributions?

The D.O.C.: I don’t know. I’d be speaking out of turn if I said yes or no. I don’t know.

Raptalk.Net: How do you think “the team” putting together this album compares to that of the “2001” team that included Hittman, Eminem, Knoc-turn’al, DPG, Xzibit and so on?

The D.O.C.: Wow, that’s a pretty good question.

Raptalk.Net: Thank you.

The D.O.C.: It’s different because every album is different. It was a different album from Straight Outta Compton to Niggaz4Life because (Ice) Cube was missing even though the nucleus was the same. It was a totally different feel when he was making it. This is a Dr. Dre album – this is probably more of a Dr. Dre album than motherfuckers have ever really got in the past. It’s a lot more of Dre in front. I think for his last album, that’s pretty up and above.

Raptalk.Net: You mentioned Slim the Mobster and I’m not sure if you heard or not, I’m sure you did but he just signed to all three powerhouses that is G-Unit/Shady/Aftermath. I imagine you are especially excited about this as you’ve been a big fan and believer in Slim since the very beginning.

 The D.O.C.: Slim is the first one to do what?

Raptalk.Net: From what I understand, he is the first one to sign to all three imprints at the same time, G-Unit/Shady/Aftermath.

The D.O.C.: I didn’t know that.

Raptalk.Net: That story was recently broken.

The D.O.C.: Wow! That’s amazing.

Raptalk.Net: That’s great news for him and that’s why I brought it up – last time we spoke, you had mentioned that you were a big fan of his and he’s next up from the west. Clearly you’re not the only one who thinks so.

The D.O.C.: Oh no, Slim is hot. He’s the new west coast kind of guy. He’s probably the best thing smoking out here right now. He’s better than a lot of guys. As a matter of fact, he might be better than 99.999% of motherfuckers rapping today. He’s pretty goddamn dude.

Raptalk.Net: I feel you. Do you know anything about Stat Quo recently being back in the studio with you guys?

The D.O.C.: Yeah, he was with us in Hawaii.

Raptalk.Net: It is good to hear there is no bad blood with him being dropped and all that.

The D.O.C.: Oh no, Stat Quo came in and actually came up with two really nice pieces.

Raptalk.Net: Reflect on your “The Shit” track with Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, MC Ren and 6’2 off “The Deuce” album.

The D.O.C.: I wanted to make a record that felt like the old shit and that was the shit when it was all that we were doing was the shit. I wanted it to feel like that. But Dre and I kind of got into an argument around that time. You know if Dre doesn’t touch it, I have to admit that if Dre doesn’t touch it, then it will sound lackluster.

Raptalk.Net: Absolutely, totally agree. We’re not even going to bother about getting in the past with the Dre argument because it’s clear you two are rolling together stronger than ever.

The D.O.C.: That’s been my friend for 20 years. Dre is probably my best friend. He always reaches back no matter what we fuss about. We may cuss each other out and all that shit because that is my brother. I really feel like I do look at him like a brother to me.

Raptalk.Net: Absolutely. Do you know what the status is of the Bishop Lamont situation? Rumors floated around saying he was dropped, he is saying he wasn’t dropped and the whole situation looks like a mess.

The D.O.C.: You know what, I’m not too sure about Bishop Lamont and his situation. Once again I’d be lying if I told you anything on that.

Raptalk.Net: What’s next up for you?

The D.O.C.: You know what, I wrote a book and well actually, I’m writing the last three chapters right now and Dre is writing the fourth chapter. I don’t have a title for the book yet. But it is about our lives. It’s an autobiography if you will. It covers maybe the last 30 years – I give it all to them. It’s the entire story from the beginning of Ruthless to the middle and end, the beginning of Death Row to the middle and end, all of me and Dre’s blow ups and fusses. It covers all of our wines and losses. It’s a pretty exciting piece if I do say so myself. There is something happening on every fuckin’ page. These people are going to have a lot to read about. We can’t wait and I really wanted to wait because I was waiting for a particular happy ending before I finished the book but once I started doing this bullshit, it would appear to me that the happy ending was already here; I just hadn’t seen it.

Raptalk.Net: Wow! That’s a wonderful quote and a huge announcement on the book. We’re going to end it on that note but will definitely be keeping in contact with you to get more words on the appointments, books, Detox and everything else you have going on because there is so much positive energy for you right now. We’re really happy to see it and I hope all of our readers continue to keep you in our prayers regarding the future surgery and appointments to hope everything goes well. Thanks a whole lot for your time DOC, do you have any last words?

The D.O.C.: It was my pleasure man. Thanks a lot.

Ok what the fuck is really going on with Bishop? How hard is it to say he got dropped or is still in the label, fucked up situation.  :-\
Jimmy told them to not even promote him by saying his name or something?  :laugh:

Good interview, although I'm skeptical about the Detox & never though that neck process could take like over 2 years.

good to know that The DOC didn't take the safe route: i really hope that he'll feel more confident after the surgery is done, even though it's not how it's supposed to work in life.
as far as a reality show is concerned, well i'm not really interested in it, but he should use some of the footage for a video of a new song!
funny to see that DOC is writing a book :laugh: i'm curious of how deep he's willing to go.

as far as Detox:

12 songs on Detox? Please not that again  :(

Detox will actually be more of a solo Dre album then the previous guest heavy Chronic compilations.

D.O.C doing what he good at writing, a book that is!
Dre writing the last chapter (so now he finally wants to write) about their hip-hop adventures.
Will be a best-seller.

Props on a well conducted interview.

i dunno detox could be 'finished' in november...but allow at least 1-2 years for final mixing and other releases that are supposed to come first before it actually drops. fall or late 2010 is an optimistic timeframe. the american economy will be in a seriously bad state by then though.

50 cent, bishop, slim da mobster, relapse 2.

all supposedly meant to drop before detox. its been a completely free schedule this year and we've only heard 1 album thus far (relapse).

they need to drop everything and release detox when it's ready. no plans to release anything else beforehand, or it'll never come out.

its a shame DOC wont make detox, wudda bin nice to hear him on there, the "Unfinished business" album is a great idea aswell,

i dont see how its taken so long for this surgery aswell, i mean we still gotta wait till march + recovery time, the guys gonna be like 50 lol

If they were smart they would release Detox (the most hyped album of all time) and use that for promotion for 50, Em and Slim the Mobster....They could ride the coatails of Detox (if it lives up the the hype)

Its like how 50 set the stage for G Unit, or Snoop setting the stage for Doggpound ect...

Dre needs to set the stage for this next generation aftermath shit.  Kick in the fuckin door with Detox and let that shit be known!!

no one said you had to. it's nice that he's even opening up as candidly as he is, being & knowing plenty of Gemini's myself, we're THE MOST RECLUSIVE personality types. be grateful that we're even being graced by this undeniably iconic hip-hop legend. there are so many rhymes he's penned for other artist, that if you even began to understand just what exactly he's touched it would utterly shatter you perception of not only the west-coast artist's he's worked with but a slue of others abroad. figure that one out 1st.

Well let Jerry Heller tell it he declined having the surgery done years ago. Either way it is good to hear he is doing it.

ok, believe Heller all you want, that shit is just NOT true! your just  :'( your not in his position to be so close to Dre.

i didnt believe one fucking thing he said

no one said you had to. it's nice that he's even opening up as candidly as he is, being & knowing plenty of Gemini's myself, we're THE MOST RECLUSIVE personality types. be grateful that we're even being graced by this undeniably iconic hip-hop legend. there are so many rhymes he's penned for other artist, that if you even began to understand just what exactly he's touched it would utterly shatter you perception of not only the west-coast artist's he's worked with but a slue of others abroad. figure that one out 1st.
congratulations on being a little girl...  :-*


I did not say I believed Jerry Heller.

it's not even fair for me to challenge you, someone who's clearly less educated than me, I'll leave you to a close minded lower-intelligence...

I know you guys aren't saying you believe Heller, so don't take my statement as me stating that, but definitely a lie lol. U can see that as now that he actually found out this surgery was possible, he is jumping all over the opportunity.

i don't want to start an endless argument & everyone is intitled to their own opinion,
but how you can you state for certain that it's a lie?
obviously i wasn't there, but DOC is the same person that claimed that Eazy got The DOC's publishing rights in return for jewelry, for example.
i could go on and on but it wouldn't make a difference.

it's more important that DOC is getting his voice fixed & i'm happy for him, but let's keep it real as well

as an album it's an ok idea, but it's more realistic he'd play with that concept for a song.

Ha,ha... Common',d.o.c is one of my all time favorites. A goat,but hey lets be realistic for a minute... All that racist,jew this, jew that bullshit got to go.
yeah let's turn it around, a lot of people judged Jerry Heller, yet they never met him, let alone know him ;)
besides, how many people have actually read his book properly

i know there's two sides of the story, maybe DOC just wasn't any where near the head-space to consider doing that risky surgery shit back then, but think about it, obviously somethings being brought to his attention NOW that clearly wasn't there before, concerning the matter of reconstructive vocal surgery. hell there has BEEN breakthroughs with surgical technology & medicine since 1990, would you have done it back then when it was still necessary to NOT fuck up an already messed up voice, or would you rather just keep on keepin' on till you have nothing to lose? today DOC has less desire to use the voice he has now than he did in1995 or in 2000. at this moment in time he's got nothing to lose and everything to gain. he's comfortable just kickin it wit Dre & raising his daughter. he don't have to do shit, that's why I'm a lucky fan who's "persistence has payed off" as he says. so I guess it's up to people like Lunatic & I to trust and have faith in the man. there's a vast difference from THEN & NOW.  8) 'which was, which is & which is to come' THE D.O.C.

50 cent, bishop, slim da mobster, relapse 2.

all supposedly meant to drop before detox. its been a completely free schedule this year and we've only heard 1 album thus far (relapse).

they need to drop everything and release detox when it's ready. no plans to release anything else beforehand, or it'll never come out.

off course technology has advanced a lot! that is out of the question.
the thing is, The DOC is stating that he didn't know it was possible to get the voice fixed & that Jerry's story is false.
yet he can't back this up.
however, we do know that The DOC was living wild 20 years ago(heavy drug & alcohol use), so his vision was blurry at the time.

by the way, i wouldn't state that DOC has less desire to fix his voice now, than in the past & that he's comfortable with the current situation: that's not true.
after 20 years, he still hasn't fully recovered(mentally) from the accident ( i was really shocked when i found how slow he's progressing).
but he is in a better position, than he was 20 years ago
