Damn how's this topic getting no love!! Great news. I'm confused. He says it just came back without surgery of any kind and that it happened about a year ago while he was in jail. What was he locked up for?
-
thats big....lets see if he puts out any albums now. he should.
-
Damn this is big!! I think it would be epic if he came out with an album now. I hope he doesn't waste it on some rushed mixtape, but really puts his all into creating a worthy comeback.
...When you think of big comebacks in music over a span of time, the only one I can think of is Meatloaf coming back in his older age after disappearing for so long. So there would really be nothing on this scale, or with such extraordinary circumstances.
-
was hoping to hear the interview

just in time with the Compton buzz going... hope this is legit though Siccness as the only source so far is questionable lol
-
Dude is talking about it on Twitter. Apparently this is for real.
We NEED a new D.O.C. album now. We need the The Doc and the Doctor back together making some moves.
-
He's mentioned it a few times on Twitter. He also said that it's nowhere near strong enough to record an album (https://twitter.com/WESTCOASTDOC/status/630136095896793088) yet.
I went to the Box To Row (http://www.boxtorow.com/) website, but couldn't find the interview. Hopefully it will be uploaded soon. I'd love to hear it.
-
can't wait to hear his new voice
unfortunately he didn't recover it in time to make the Dre album :-\
what a throwback and surprise it would have been if he had his voice debut on the new Dre album
-
Congratulations to him, aside from any music-making possibilites this must be a huge moment in his personal life.
-
Perhaps new recording sessions with Erotic D... Anyway, this is very good news.
-
Would be cool with a new album.
I never really felt his old albums.
-
This is great news, I wonder how he sound now, but anyway he got his voice back, so that's alone is a big thing. Now we only need a comeback album & it's over

Yea it would be BIG surprise to see him on tracklist.

Sccit's right, this is dissapointing... I mean, at 9:24 it basically sounded like if he concentrates really hard he can do an impression of a white man.

lmao...i actually didnt hear that part, but if he can channel that for a whole album, would still be dope
-
No fuckin way - I've been wondering about this. He was talking about it as early as 2011. Why wait so long tho?
-
For those that didn't listen to the entire interview.
He's planning on making a documentary on his life with a "Voices Through Hot Vessels" album. He hopes to do 1 to 2 songs on the album with his new voice.
D.O.C.'s restored voice can be heard at 9:24, 10:38, 18:57 and 22:45.
-
Disapointed for what though?!
-
I think West Coast fans are going to go wild with the hyperbole for this. I think it's great for DOC but it seems like it's still a long road.
-
Disapointed for what though?!
for the prospects of a new album wit a regular voice by the d.o.c
-
I just wonder wth happened. He said he didn't go through with the surgery because of the risks and uncertainty of it. But how random is this? Could it be he's always been able to force a voice out and he just realized it?
-
He dragged couple years trying to get that TV show shit. Wasted time.

He was prolly able to do this all along, jus too embarrassed to let it out .:... Like infinite said, he sounds like he doing a white guy impersonation wit that voice.

He still sounds as though he needs the vocal cords repaired! Dr. Dre should have them scrape some of his stem cells and grow him new ones and then have those put in. At this point this can be done.
-
@nicinjection : @WESTCOASTDOC I've struggled with my speech since I was an infant. Don't give up the good fight. Have you done any speech therapy?
@WESTCOASTDOC: Vocal therapy is expensive as hell. I don't have it but I'm working on putting myself in position to do it. (https://twitter.com/WESTCOASTDOC/status/635629749390348288)
@WESTCOASTDOC: Chewy you don't know that. They said my chords would never work.... They work homie. Let God do work. (https://twitter.com/WESTCOASTDOC/status/635631476923482113)
@Chewy9991: @WESTCOASTDOC in that latest interview you sound the same?
@WESTCOASTDOC: Gotta listen to the whole thing bro. I can use the chords when I choose. But it's not easy. Chords that were dead. (https://twitter.com/WESTCOASTDOC/status/635632379474784256)
@Chewy9991: @WESTCOASTDOC ok good luck! did u not have that surgery snoop was talking about few years back?
@WESTCOASTDOC: No bro. The shit was too dangerous. They locked me up 2 years ago and while I was layin on my bunk I felt them (vocal chords) move

Actually his voice sounds pretty close to his original speaking voice. Not sure how it would translate to rapping but it's a good sign. Search for old interviews, u will hear the similarities.

"Gun Range" is not produced by Erotic D. Some kid from Miami produced it, DOC forgot his name tho'.
Song is still dope as fuck.
-
I listened to that interview. It didn't sound like he got it back. But man, I really hope he does. Had he not lost his voice, he would have easily been the best rapper from the south of all time. He was amazing.
-
^Really ? Didnt know that and was sure Erotic D. produced it. Sorry ;) Yeah, tha last song I hear from DOC.
-
This reminds me that Jerry Heller once said something to the effect of DOC's voice could be rehabilitated back to form but he wasn't hearing or having it post accident.
In light of him somehow figuring out how to manipulate the chords maybe what Heller said was true
-
To be fair man, that's not back AT ALL. It's good for him if he has to order pizza or something but really, if he has to MAKE his voice "come back" (which was really struggled), how is he going to create an entire album?
-

I don't believe a word he says but can someone post the quotes from that back? I remember someone on here posted that he claimed to have had a doctor who could've restored his vocals but DOC only wanted to drink and do drugs.

Jerry is a classic scumbag exec: take unsuspecting people to the cleaners through shitty contracts and agreements. He technically didn't rob anyone since nothing he did was illegal, but his crafting contracts such that he and Eazy took the lion's share was suspect. While he didn't break any law, which is what he always contends, he did take advantage of young kids as people in all business are prone to do.
I tend to believe him on a lot of what he says, I must admit. He said that Eazy picked up all the hospital bills, and that he himself paid for the down payment on the home DOC was scheduled to close on the week of his accident. (Also classic exec move to be eating off an artist's plate to the tune of millions of dollars then kick him back 70k for a house down payment). He goes on to talk about DOC's condition being very treatable and that it would have been on Ruthless's dime had DOC been willing. Somewhere in pages 153-160, I believe, for those with the memoir. (I had a copy I can't locate).

Heller confuses me though for his continued beef with Ice Cube all because Ice Cube saw that contract for what it was, a rape you deal that all new artist get. And Cube thought more of himself. Oh well.
And many labels do that, when an artist gets in a accident, they pay the bills. Because the bills are cheaper than paying the artist what they are really worth. It gives the artist a false sense of loyalty and a continued relationship.
-
Absolutely.
And I think the Cube beef comes from the anti-Semitic remarks.

Am I the only one that like The D.O.C's post accident voice?
Would be cool to hear him trading bars with the different voices.

I liked it as well but before he lost it in the accident he was as good as there was
-
He sounds pretty much the same. Damn shame.
-
everyone discouraged d.o.c from rappin after the accident...funny thing is that nowadays, people be forcefully usin that cracky voice. he'd fit in better wit todays rappers.
-
Has it gotten easier to use your restored voice over the last year? Can you use it for long periods of time?
@WESTCOASTDOC (https://twitter.com/WESTCOASTDOC/status/636898214336040960): Not super strong yet but I can get a few lines out at a time if I was busting
-

Make that 2 of us. Helter Skelter is a classic to me.. one of the best g-funk albums ever.
-
I like Helter Skelter and I like Duece. I wish his voice would have returned years ago. He was one the best ever.

i mentioned it many times in the past that i like the voice, it's just not very clear.

In this interview he uses his new voice a lot between like the 14th minute mark up to like the 22nd minute.
