That's right, it isn't a typo! Raptalk.Net hooked up with the living legend and Dr. Dre's right hand man for the past 20 years, The DOC himself.
In this exclusive interview which lasted nearly an hour long, myself (Lunatic) and The DOC touched on every aspect and every project his career has ever been apart of. We start this interview off nice and appropriately with The DOC letting the fans know how he got hooked up with NWA way back in the 80s.
The DOC talks about his greatest and most memorable studio memories for the recording process for the classic and legendary NWA album, "Straight Outta Compton", quite the experience The DOC was polite enough to share with us!
That ofcourse later brought his solo debut to the table, the classic "No One Can Do It Better." The album which was entirely produced by Dr. Dre, is one of the greatest Hip-Hop albums ever released and The DOC gives us his in-depth outlook on that album today. We even get a cool tidbit regarding how much leftover material from this album exists and what DOC's favorite track from the album is! Did you ever wonder how "The Formula" record came about? It went down in quite spooky fashion, a story we have exclusively for you in this interview!
After the success of this album, tragedy struck. As all know, The DOC shortly after suffered a car accident injury which severely damaged his vocal cords and ruined his solo career as a recording artist. The DOC lets us into his mind and tells us how thoughts formed about life in the days, weeks and months that followed the accident.
The DOC did however remain an important staple in west coast Hip-Hop and talks about his help creating "The Chronic" album and his thoughts on that, plus the "Doggystyle" album.
DOC had a falling out with Dr. Dre but then re-formed their positive relationship and The DOC was once agian at the helm of Dr. Dre on the "2001" album being invited to recording sessions. Which album does The DOC prefer? The Chronic or 2001? The answer is inside!
Enjoy...

...Visit back next Monday for part two, the finale in this DOC interview. The subject matter is heavily weighted around "Detox" as The DOC talks about the recording process, how often Dre and the rest of the camp are working on the album, how much of the album is done, a possible release date, leaked songs and more!
ofcourse, the interesting rumor circulating around the net is that The DOC is in the process of re-gaining his vocal cords and coming back for one more album! Talk about a story book ending, huh? We have ALL the details on this story, next week...

well put.

Great interview, Luna.

since doc is taping everything i wonder if he might get a reality tv show documenting his road to recovery. if snoop and dre are involved that would be enough star power to spark enough interest. it would be a unique story as well. ..a legendary rap star getting a chance to make another album 20 years later.
And if he does make another album i wonder what type of theme it will have. Even though hes written a shitload of classic gangster lyrics, he hasnt rapped about that before. In No one can do it better he basically bragged about his MC skills, Helter Skelter was some dark NWO conspiracy shit and Deuce was just a compilation album.
-
^i dont think he'd write the g-shit for himself, that just shows his talent as a writer. i think his own album even today would be more straight hiphop shit like his 1st album was
-
still can't nobody do it better
-
^i dont think he'd write the g-shit for himself, that just shows his talent as a writer. i think his own album even today would be more straight hiphop shit like his 1st album was
i wouldn't be so sure of that.
he wrote on Helter Skelter as well

i guess will wait and see!

yeah ;)
although i have to admit that the concept of Helter Skelter, was Erotic D's idea
-
Good interview. I wish he would've talked more about the Helter Skelter album.
Also, I think he was bullshittin about not having any leftover material from "No One Can Do It Better" because the song "Bridgette" seemed to be a leftover to me.
-
Good job on the interview, makes me wanna bump No One Can Do It Better again 8)
-
cool stuff, Good interview, Lookin forward to part 2. 8)
