This man is one of the best EMCEES of all time. Go check his first ALBUM OUT. His lyrics, his flow, the production and ironically his voice is off the chain. If ppl would be honest and put his album up against any other great album. You will have to give the D.O.C. his props.
TC facts I was only 9 years old when funky enough came out we was in elementary singing "funky funky" lol and the formula then he disappear after the Vlad interview I went back and listen and that whole album the vocabulary the wordplay was dope and ahead of it's time
D.O.C is one rapper that I could listen to everyday thats how damn good he is and all that he been through all the reason why I have the most respect for him and I love the fact he is very humble about the contributions he made in the rap game
When Helter Skelter came out, i consumed it for years!!! I also think that if he would've tried to push it through a different channel it would've been more commercially successful, because those were they years of Horror Core Rap, and that album was very well alined with the style but not many knew about it. Never the less, it's still a BOMB album. And those records talking about the illuminati back in '96!?!! That shit was crazy!
'Its the diggy diggy DOC y'all.' Sway dropped what might be the most important interview on hip hop culture, if not American culture right now. #moneyispower
Thanks Sway for doing this and not selling out the Culture when you could have done it easily. I'm proud you are from The Town. And to the D.O.C, I've never stopped fighting for you in the one of the best to ever do it conversations homie.💯
man Sway and tech keep it a hundred...from day 1. For someone who's done as much as sway to be so humble...especially within a culture that's all about the 'flash' and self=promotion .....from day dot ...is insane humility bootsy collins, cool herc, afrika bambaataa...rakim ll cool j...pac and big to even the weirdos in skinny jeans today.....humility was the last thing on their mind..,lol But the negative is that, he's so humble....new-generation have no idea how pivotal sway and tech were to west-coast hip hop....especially for bay area spitterz
Bang Messiah DOC and Dre would have gave everybody in the rap game, a lot of pressure, Bang Messiah. A major problem. Easily one of the best duos ever. 💯
This is one of the best interviews. D.O.C. is and was the man! He told us a lot without telling us everything! Now, I see why he was in Outcast’s video Benz or a Beamer!
Yes!....The D to the O and the C to the period..suckers are fearing it!...Sway..keep it up bro. I hope the D.O.C new project blow up!.... None of those dudes would of had those classics without him. How could they not pay him...he should be paid at least from publishing....stay up D.O.C good work Sway
Being from the "D" we fell in love with N.W.A. I was at that concert when police ran them off stage. They introduced him CPO and forget who else was on the roster, but that "no one can do better" hands down👏
Frank Curl I'm from Detroit too. I remember going to see the movie the first night it came out and I could tell that the people in the theater didn't even know that the police ran them off stage here in Detroit. The reaction in the theater was classic lol
Iceberg Slim listen that concert was crazy, the atmosphere inside for me was intense. I was with 12 people and I tell you fights were everywhere in the Joe
"Rhythmic American Poetry" When I heard that line in The Formula, that was the first time I ever had one of those hip hop, rewind moments. I was used to MCs spelling words out in a song but he used those words to spell out RAP. That shit was ingenious. I appreciated lyrics a lot more after hearing The D.O.C. Thank you.
Hip Hop / Rap needs to realize we needed and still need each other. It is an element of all music but told in a poetic talking way. Crooning, poetry, drums, guitar, horns, and dance.
I am as diverse at it comes when it comes to rap music. From BDP, Rakim, Ice T, Geto Boys, NWA, Too Short, UGK, WU, Souls of Mischief, Snoop, Eminem, Jay, Run DMC, Nas, King T, new school, old school, whoever, whatever and whenever. No One Can Do It Better by the D.O.C. is easily at top 5 album of ALL TIME. You can not argue the lyrics or production from beginning to end and his story certifies it even more.
Just see these 2 videos, unbelievable guest, just awesome to hear from a pioneer in the Westcoast Rap game, D.O.C, You deserve Grammy Awards for your contribution to Music.
There really should be a movie made about the d.o.c.’s life from when he started rapping in Dallas to release of the n.w.a.movie. But I think there should be a dr. Dre movie that takes us to the release of the n.w.a.movie with some more emphasis on the d.o.c.’s part in the whole thing.
Wow I learned so much from this interview I used to hear his records as a kid and I believe that's why I love hip hop today but I'm truly glad this man is as humble as he is and you can tell he has a good heart
I remember finding out about DOC back in like 2009-10 and realizing he was from Texas. I was hype because I’m from Houston and knowing that Texas was holding back in the 80s. Great to heat him tell his story
good to be able to know this man. when D.O.C.'s album dropped it was a mystery to most. We saw the NWA connection with the addition of their members on tracks like The Grand Finale. It was a hype track, but only for those who got whatever was in the "Rap" section to discover. The accident was a disaster for those who wanted more from the DOC.
I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE D.O.C. movie. i didnt even see or Support the Tupac Movie Because of the Controversy behind it. R.I.P Afeni & Tupac Shakur! But we still have a chance to see a good D.O.C. movie in our lifetime
True legend I want to tell a story were I grow up at one day I was walking I was about 13 years old and I was doing bad things on the block already I remember I came across a green CD and it was the d.o.c first album
I totally agree with what D.O.C. says at the end about Cowboys owner. Nice try on trying to get The D.O.C. to drop a bar I wanted to hear that. D.O.C. may not have the voice anymore but I know he got them bars. Thanx Sway for that great interview it took me back, and it was really good to see The D.O.C.
This man is one of the best EMCEES of all time. Go check his first ALBUM OUT.
His lyrics, his flow, the production and ironically his voice is off the chain.
If ppl would be honest and put his album up against any other great album. You will have to give the D.O.C.
his props.
TC facts I was only 9 years old when funky enough came out we was in elementary singing "funky funky" lol and the formula then he disappear after the Vlad interview I went back and listen and that whole album the vocabulary the wordplay was dope and ahead of it's time
TC
damn right ✌
TC D.O.C. was the truth. Legend.
Right On!
To me he has the best flow of all time..biggie close second
One of my most respected Sway interviews. Thanks Sway, Heather B, Tracy G
Met him in the Phoenix airport a few years back and he sat and talked to me like we were lifelong friends. Just a genuine cat...RESPECT!!!
That had to be awesome!!
D.O.C is one rapper that I could listen to everyday thats how damn good he is and all that he been through all the reason why I have the most respect for him and I love the fact he is very humble about the contributions he made in the rap game
Candice Lowery Every day. I was told that if Eminem was black, he would be Redman.Not the greatest in the history of the Universe.
I know The D.O.C. voice wasn't the same but that Helter Skelter album is dope, he's speaking some real truth... Str8 Legend
#FACTZ
William W
yeah, junt still was dope
When Helter Skelter came out, i consumed it for years!!! I also think that if he would've tried to push it through a different channel it would've been more commercially successful, because those were they years of Horror Core Rap, and that album was very well alined with the style but not many knew about it. Never the less, it's still a BOMB album. And those records talking about the illuminati back in '96!?!! That shit was crazy!
That album was dark & dope. The production Erotic D did on there was nice.
Steel Will hell yes

It's God damn blasphemous not to mention The D.O.C's contribution to hip-hop. My heart pains for this guy. Same goes for Quik.
"The shade of your skin is only a shell". D.O.C. dropping some real gems 💎.
corinda Merino ....i mean, we all knew that. But it wasnt black folks that started this racism shit.
Fact: The D.O.C. & Dr. Dre as a duo were on track to be the best MC/DJ ever. They would have given Gangstarr a lot of pressure.
Bang Messiah Great comparison.
Bang Messiah
DOC and Dre would have gave everybody in the rap game, a lot of pressure, Bang Messiah.
A major problem. Easily one of the best duos ever. 💯
Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth would be a better comparison since Preemo doesn't rap but an album from them 2 woulda been insane.
MFKNRMX The Bang Messiah That's funny.
This is one of the best interviews. D.O.C. is and was the man! He told us a lot without telling us everything! Now, I see why he was in Outcast’s video Benz or a Beamer!
I wouldn't give a f *
the only wisdom people need to have - cause there's so much abundance.
Good one Sway grew up on his music, we need a Spice 1 interview The Eastbay Gangsta!
Shit yeah blawwww!
The D.O.C is a special person. God put him places where he needed to be. Much love and respect to the D.O.C.

That No one can do it better album got me thru some tough times back in the day. Thanks diggy doc
Being from the "D" we fell in love with N.W.A. I was at that concert when police ran them off stage. They introduced him CPO and forget who else was on the roster, but that "no one can do better" hands down👏
Frank Curl 'the ballad of a menace'C.P.O.
Frank Curl I'm from Detroit too. I remember going to see the movie the first night it came out and I could tell that the people in the theater didn't even know that the police ran them off stage here in Detroit. The reaction in the theater was classic lol
Iceberg Slim listen that concert was crazy, the atmosphere inside for me was intense. I was with 12 people and I tell you fights were everywhere in the Joe
Frank Curl man..... I believe it! And what's crazy is that's the only tour that they ever did so you witnessed history. That's crazy!
The first DOC song I ever memerized was The Formula. That song was a beast.
airess1 that's my favorite hip hop song of all time easily. It's funky enough is actually the first song that I ever memory lol. Crazy..
airess1 classic
OMGoodness bruh, as a teen in H.S., that was my jam!!!
Kool Ass Interview (Been A LoongTime Fan Of D.O.C..!
Hell of a interview, No one can do it better.
Lmao I Love It ✊
I love this interview. D.O.C I love the man you have grown into. Thanks for your contribution especially to my generation 80's and 90's.
One of the best interviews this year. Thanks sway for having one of the greatest on your show. Loved it. D.O.C G.O.A.T
Mildred Williams the greatest in deed
Real legend that never got the most recognition due to his accident! But he was dope
Its so beautiful the way he lights up when he talks about Erykah...you can tell he has a genuine love for her. 😊
"REMEMBER THIS FOREVER NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER" FACTS!!!
Delandis Duncan ....My fav track off that album right there
"Rhythmic American Poetry" When I heard that line in The Formula, that was the first time I ever had one of those hip hop, rewind moments. I was used to MCs spelling words out in a song but he used those words to spell out RAP. That shit was ingenious. I appreciated lyrics a lot more after hearing The D.O.C. Thank you.
D.O.C you a KING of this rap shit!!
is they ever did a movie about his life Method man can definitely play the part.
Indeed
Hip Hop / Rap needs to realize we needed and still need each other. It is an element of all music but told in a poetic talking way. Crooning, poetry, drums, guitar, horns, and dance.
We need 30 minutes more Doc got stories
The D.O.C washed NWA on The Grand Finale. Facts 🙌🏿
WORD!!!
Nope Cubes verse was fire! Picture a nigga that's raw amplify your ass....
dlkc2000 you know what, I struggled with that for years and I gave the D.O.C the edge with flow and style...both verses were tough!!🔥
Cube and D.O.C were neck & neck.
DOJA BOY SLIM str8 washed em

This is one of the best interviews in a long time. Everybodies energy is so on point. Love it. Much respect D.O.C, Sway and Heather B. One love
Ultimate respect for the D.O.C 💯💯 appreciate everything you have put into the game since ‘89 can’t wait for your new music to drop with Rakim! 💯
One of the goats. I got him up there with Rakim, Moe Dee, melle Mel and Kane
This has to be one of the best interviews I've ever listened to much love to everyone on the show and beyond
This brought tears to my eyes D.O.C definitely one of greatest easily No One Has Done it Better..Bless God
There really should be a movie made about the d.o.c.’s life from when he started rapping in Dallas to release of the n.w.a.movie. But I think there should be a dr. Dre movie that takes us to the release of the n.w.a.movie with some more emphasis on the d.o.c.’s part in the whole thing.
Doc replaced Arabian prince in the movie who was the first rapper to leave NWA because of money but ice cube gets the credit ..
The best hip hop interview of the year so far
Legend, Legend, Legend....Salute.
The D.O.C is definitely in my top five just off that first album. Great interest!
Ur fine!
Wow I learned so much from this interview I used to hear his records as a kid and I believe that's why I love hip hop today but I'm truly glad this man is as humble as he is and you can tell he has a good heart
The D.O.C. is a legendary story teller!!!!
DOC is one of the Greatest! No One Can Do It Better!
Salute to all you big Homies that's paving the way , Facts 🙏✊👑
Thanks guys. Great watch. Respect
Got damn D. O. C the greatest
He's always been in my top 5. D.O.C. was the total package voice, looks(no homo), rhyme scheme, and vocab.
Fuck it he should rap in this voice. He be the Tom Waits of hip-hop.
Check out helter skelter
D.O.C. is ALWAYS #1 in my top 10 Down South MCs
I watched both parts to this interview...whew chile, Sway you still got it!!! 😀😀😀😀 Great interview!
One of the greatest ever
Thanks for sharing this soulful and truthful moment
I remember finding out about DOC back in like 2009-10 and realizing he was from Texas. I was hype because I’m from Houston and knowing that Texas was holding back in the 80s. Great to heat him tell his story
one of the best interviews in a long time SWAY.
Always been a fan, and this is hands down the best DOC interview I've seen. Damn, he's aged well...still is.
good to be able to know this man. when D.O.C.'s album dropped it was a mystery to most. We saw the NWA connection with the addition of their members on tracks like The Grand Finale. It was a hype track, but only for those who got whatever was in the "Rap" section to discover. The accident was a disaster for those who wanted more from the DOC.

Super dope interview
It’s da ‘D’ unto ‘O’ unto ..’C’...
Str8 Legendary
True legend I want to tell a story were I grow up at one day I was walking I was about 13 years old and I was doing bad things on the block already I remember I came across a green CD and it was the d.o.c first album
Love
I would love to know every song that the d.o.c. Wrote lyrics for.
allan fulton google the credits. And watch his Vladtv interview. He talks about which songs he wrote on
Omar Scruggs he didn't get a lot of official name credit- which is why he didn't get paid. I did love the Vlad interview when Vlad went down the list.
Pumps n da bumps by MC Hammer
Well him an snoop wrote around 50/50% on Tha Chronic!!
There's a series of episodes on Vlad TV where he goes through the entire NWA/Dr Dre discography song by song, giving the goods. Check it out..
I totally agree with what D.O.C. says at the end about Cowboys owner. Nice try on trying to get The D.O.C. to drop a bar I wanted to hear that. D.O.C. may not have the voice anymore but I know he got them bars. Thanx Sway for that great interview it took me back, and it was really good to see The D.O.C.
Legend
Great interview, spot on
Already D.O.C. Ft. Worth, TX - Dallas, TX
