D.O.C.'s Top Five D.O.C. Ghostwritten Songs (LA Weekly)

[Unforgivable by Sean John]

I found it interesting that there are a couple of other versions "Next Episode" out there.  I wonder if they were recorded during the early Death Row days like the OG version or later on.

when he said "we did that song three or four times"... and that the next episode line in g thang was what started it....

i kind of got the impression that next episode OG was recorded sometime after g thang (which was recorded in 1990 according to this?? damn), that next episode (retail) was recorded during the 2001 sessions, and that there was a version or two in the middle there somewhere....

so maybe DOC wrote dre's verses on next episode (OG)?


also - another point. if DOC really wrote that much of the ruthless material... i mean didn't cube also say he did a lot of writing? i always thought that cube and DOC went like 50/50 on dre and eazy's verses basically, and that Ren did some writing also.

2001 also raises question marks. from what i've heard, and seen in credits, royce, jay-z, eminem, snoop, hittman, knoc, mis roq, and DOC ALL did writing for Dre. and dre only really has so many verses on that album, even if u include throwaways and leaked tracks. so... i think this is just another situation where everyone is laying claim to the work, and everyone is exaggerating what they did.

and as for how much RBX did on the chronic... jeez we will simply never know haha. but whatever he did definitely cuts into what snoop and DOC have claimed to do.

^I believe every word of what DOC says...highly doubt he's exaggerating any of the facts.

[samutahjazz]

idk man he seems mad at the world. could be stretching the turth a little. and d.o.c. did help snoop write doggystyle. snoop has said this and doc said it on "from ruthless to death row (do we all part)".

Eminem wrote Dre's biggest hits. He must be west coast.

On topic, you can see how D.O.C.'s ghostwriting changed. On Eazy Duz It the songs he wrote were pretty similar to his own style. Then he started writing g shit and dumbing it down for Dre's lyrics.

show me 1 track where eminem repped the west coast lmao

Crack a Bottle. "But what else can I say, I love LA"

how about DOC's best ghostwritten albums? Doggystyle?

He didn't write on Doggystyle

LMFAO@u considering that "reppin" the west...again, slap yaself.

lmao at you considering lyrics that were ghostwritten for Dre for the Heltah Skeltah album proof of repping the west. The D.O.C. Always has lived in Texas. He was born there, raised there, and never left. Leaving your state to permanently move to another location is one thing but the D.O.C. has clearly never done that. He slept at Dre's crib so he could be part of his friend's career.

he left to live in LA in the late 80's-early 90's, and thats when his rap career took off. LOL@u making excuses, he ghost wrote it for Dre, thats why he reps the west on his albums? LMAO, then he coulda very easily changed the lyrics to rep the south (ie: shouting "southside hustler" instead of "westside hustler") when he realized Dre wouldnt be spitting it, but he obviously wanted to rep the west, genius....he is a staple of west coast rap, and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to get up on game.

and as for how much RBX did on the chronic... jeez we will simply never know haha. but whatever he did definitely cuts into what snoop and DOC have claimed to do.

Check the booklet for the credits. The D.O.C, Snoop and RBX are credited on a lot of songs.

Written-By – Colin Wolfe (tracks: 1, 2, 6, 12), D.O.C.* (tracks: 7, 8, 10, 11), Daz* (tracks: 4, 6, 15), Dr. Dre (tracks: 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 to 13), Kurupt (tracks: 11, 14), Rage* (tracks: 11, 13 to 15), RBX (tracks: 3, 4, 11, 12, 14, 15), Snoop* (tracks: 1 to 11, 14)

Didn't RBX win a Grammy for writing "Let Me Ride" or somethin' like that?

those claims are false, he even claims to have written most of NWA's material.

Wrong. You need to read your interviews more carefully. He was a vocal coach and teaching Snoop how to make a song. Snoop wrote his own rhymes.

[fette_chico]

ive heard some of the reference tracks that big and jay ghost did for lil kim,  its crazy to hear them rap about sucking dicks and shit lmao

I heard the big one but what one did jay do?

Snoop is a better freestyler than writer hence Tha Shiznit one of the best tracks on the CD. But Snoop did have help with some other tracks, he would come up with lyrics and ideas and DOC would perfect them into making a song.

[J-FUNKTION]

lol as sick as doggystyle is and always will be...its nothing to be lyrically proud of on snoops behalf for the most part...spelling yours and dres and dazs name in every verse, ending everything in a me, see, we, g, aint too flabergasting..

As I said, he was a mentor for Snoop and helped teach him how to make songs. He didn't ghostwrite for him.
