atl Which is crazy so was Premier from Gang Starr. can you imagine how dope a collaboration would have been between them two!? And yeah your right cuzzo Snoop wouldn't be so known as he is hadn't that freak accident occurred to the D.O.C. Life's a bitch

He's genuine and has a story on multiple levels that should be told. He has insight and experience that we wish we could know from he's genuine perspective. While its a shame he lost his voice that night but fortunately he didn't lose his life, our lives would be different without him and thank GOD he found his voice again.
I'm from Dallas and I have been bumping the D.O.C. since the Fila Fresh Crew here in Dallas. When he left Dallas became a hip hop desert. His influence on all hip hop is immeasurable.
@Shamar Ha'Amath I can never forget the Goat! But naw I did not include Rakim because his style and flow was so original and unconventional that to me it was on another level and I was there from the start lol. But good lookin out tho. Peace
He's in my top 5 all time. I know some of you younger cats are turning your nose up at that, but if you were listening to N.W.A., Eazy E, or a Dr. Dre album and nodding your head, you were usually listening to a verse or song written by the D.O.C. Plus, back in the late 80's, dude dropped arguably the greatest debut album of all time and MAYBE cussed 5 times on the whole thing during an era where profanity in music was going strong. His contributions to hip hop can't be measured by his lack of fame. Dude is responsible for some of the west coats giants' biggest hits. Had he not lost his voice in that accident, he definitely would have ran hip hop for a while. NOBODY was spitting it that lyrical from the west coast back then. And he wasn't even from there. You GOTTA give it up to the D.O.C.
Dia Akin already...before the accident he threw that middle finger to Dr Rock and the Fila Fresh Crew....glad he's coming full circle cause the DFW rap scene has been getting fucked over for probably 30 years now
Dia Akin and you won't when our local talent has to move to Atl, Cali or Htown because of the lack of exposure...which is the same thing The DOC had to do. hell, even that wack ass vanilla ice had to leave the area to make it..
The D.O.C. is super underrated. As a lyricist, rapper, artist in general. People don't understand what this man has done to shape the GREAT days of Rap/Hip-Hop. "No One Can Do It Better" came out the year I was born, which was also the year of his accident. I wonder how things would have been like if that accident didn't happen.
Happy to see him speaking. I still have his CD. It hurt me that he could not put out more music. I enjoyed his rapping skills. Glad he is still writing for Dre.
I liked it and I’m going to buy no one can do it better and helter Skelter On I tunes a second time. I think I may still have helter Skelter on CD. Deuce that cam after was trash though.
I so agree with this. His voice now sounds wayyyyy better than the one he had before. Not sure why people give him such a hard time. His second album is much better.
D.O.C. is one of my favs. I'm glad he's getting these spots today and a lot of people can gain a few things checking out one of the greats in the game. I was disappointed when he lost his voice in the accident, but I always had love for the OG. He survived and he's still around. Props.
The D.O.C. was ahead of his time. It is & was devastating what happened to him. His "No One Can Do It Better" CD is a hip hop classic. I was twelve years old when that CD came out. I still listen to that CD to this day. My favorite songs are "Whirlwind Pyramid" , "It's Getting Funky" and "The Formula". He is in my favorite five ever hands down. You can listen to that CD from beginning to end without skipping a single song. Like Jadakiss said "Top Five Dead or Alive". Lateef from the DYT. Dayton, Ohio.
Very happy for him. We all know what could have been... But he has left his mark on hip hop and is still having a positive influence today. Peace and love from the UK
The D O C is a legend!! He is Dr Dre's right hand man. He's magic! He's a national treasure for the rap game!! The greatest! Who ever dont know about the D O C don't know rap!!😎
dr dre should produce one last album to D.O.C on his label....come on D.O.C had a huge affect to dre dre`s success, dre`s writing skills were mediocre but he was the guy who got the beats.
LEGENDARY IceMan He released Helter Skelter which Is a solid album in opinion. Dre definitely should have taken better care of D.O.C. money wise over the years.
cory czerwinski but he didnt release it on big label....Dre should have at least produced some tracks of that album. but no instead he used D.O.C and didnt give anything back to him, Dre could have released Heltah Skeltah on Aftermatch
DOC was taken advantage of by people he truly cared about and they fucked him over.That’s some shitty friends. Helter Skelter was a good album if you can tolerate his voice I can but some can’t. Deuce that came after was total garbage. I’m not sure what happened there. I’m still hoping he gets his voice back and can make a comeback.
A Hip-Hop legend. This guy has some legendary writing not too mention performances on his resume. If we looked back at his career he would easily outshine the majority of rappers in the game.
@@GMANKOOL23 no teeth, not a bad deal. Considering he has "one of baddest bitches in the game wearing his chain" . A family, living his best life a billion dollars later. I could deal with dentures.
I remember when Cali came to Dallas. Dallas looked like Boyz n the hood. I was in Oak Cliff, and guys had long curls with ball caps. That was my uncles generation, but we seen how it was as kids.
Man I love the D.O.C.,I remember when "Funky Enough"came out,that was my jam and I still listen to that til today.I wish he could get his voice back,so sad cause he was a darn good rapper.If he was still rapping today I guarantee you he would turn most of these other rappers out with straight up "ENVY!"There would really be some serious haters!!
if the Doc never lost his voice he would be just as big as Cube Easy and Dre lyrically he was a beast maybe the best out of Nwa glad he still was a good producer for his lively hood because the record business can be Ruthless journey no pun intended the Doc is a fighter and survivor
He's a Legend period! One album under his belt but it's a classic plus he wrote for Eazy and Dre. Glad to see he's still well. We always wait til' our legends pass to embrace their greatness but fuck that! Appreciate them while their here!
Met DOC at a house party in L.A near where he had his accident in the early 2000's and couldn't believe how down to Earth he was. I even called some friends on the phone that were fans of his and he talked to them!
True school in the building. I'm 36 and I remember I used to get mega props for knowing the entire "It's Funky Enough" song. Older kids used to ask me to spit the song and they'd go crazy. Were it not for the accident the D.O.C was headed towards top 5 DOA status. He was THAT good.
D.O.C. being a ghostwriter elevates many other artists. You should understand this guy crushed his larynx and wrote hits. His return as the hook for "Gospel" with Dre & Eminem is a triumph for Hip Hop.
I think "funky enough" is one of thee DOPEST beats ever done. He would have had a spectacular career if he wouldn't have lost his voice. God i wish he would get his voice back. I bet deep down its torture 4 DOC. Knowing he was once the dopest rappers but hes missing the key ingredient for a huge career. His smooth velvet voice😢😢 to me...the DOC losing his voice is as tragic as Nate Dog and Easy passing away.
D.O.C. "losing" his voice was one of the most heart-breaking moments in hip-hop, period.
Iconoclastic indeed...
no . will smith's last album was
Up there with RZA's basement full of beats getting flooded....
Jason B
lmao....
No one can do it better
Doc is the most under rated artist EVER
Sebastian Ace hell yea
Sebastian Ace facts 💯💯
Sebastian Ace yeah i heard alot of people comment on how amazing he was
Spice 1 and DJ Quik also but definitely Spice 1
Sebastian Ace he was phenomenal
No one can do it better. I'm glad he is comfortable with his voice now.
DarkshadowXD63 Although it's heartbreaking about losing his voice, at least he's still alive, I hope he comes out with great music.
Saif Hasan
Tru That!!!
@@saifhasan4481 You are so right
Got chills when he said "I never lost my voice, it's in those kids in Dallas, I speak thru them"
He should've stayed in Cali. It's better than Texas
@@Aj-me8mo He’s from Dallas. He’s not from Cali.
People don't understand how great this man is regarding Hip Hop! The total package voice, lyrical, one of the greatest ever
atl Which is crazy so was Premier from Gang Starr. can you imagine how dope a collaboration would have been between them two!? And yeah your right cuzzo Snoop wouldn't be so known as he is hadn't that freak accident occurred to the D.O.C. Life's a bitch
atl I'm think you talking about Fil-A-Crew
Jason Borne these are FACTS 😩 💯💯💯
Wish he would have did a track w/ Scarface in the late 1980's
blackstruggle77
hell yea!!!
Brad Jordan/ Diggy Diggy DOC***
One Of The Most Realest Dudes in Hip-Hop. So humble despite everything he's been through
Coke Dogg what? He got in a car accident!🙄
I'm glad for him!
The Formula and Gettin Funky is a all time instant classic
lend me an ear is a lyrical masterpiece
Nick Wright's Dad 💯💯💯
Picadie 💯💯💯
Jimmy Bonez *Funky Enough.
Funky enough fo sho
The DOC is a very old soul. He is quite enlightened.
John GT old soul, enlightened, that's cute. sounds like a regular guy with severed vocal chords to me.
He's genuine and has a story on multiple levels that should be told. He has insight and experience that we wish we could know from he's genuine perspective. While its a shame he lost his voice that night but fortunately he didn't lose his life, our lives would be different without him and thank GOD he found his voice again.
finally hiphop dx covers an artist that's worth talking about. Shoutout to DOC the key to nwa and deathrow
the best artist dre has ever produced. "no one can do it better" still shits over 99% of the hip hop/rap album that's came out since '89.
We went from the formula to mask off SMH!Lmao
Ryan Nyan Quit hating old man...
He had one of the best, purest voices in rap history.
OrangeNBlue “the kid with golden voice” and he got a little cocky and los this voice. Crazy really.
Man that sucks for D.O.C! Dope lyricists, very underrated, and amazing flow. D.O.C is definitely one of the best!
Homeboy_Brando DOC is hardly underrated. He's one of the best voices in rap history. Fall back you no-nothing. Ol' "in the know" ass nikka.
I'm from Dallas and I have been bumping the D.O.C. since the Fila Fresh Crew here in Dallas. When he left Dallas became a hip hop desert. His influence on all hip hop is immeasurable.
One of the best to ever do it!! D.O.C, Big Daddy Kane and Kool G Rap all had flows before their time.
@Shamar Ha'Amath I can never forget the Goat! But naw I did not include Rakim because his style and flow was so original and unconventional that to me it was on another level and I was there from the start lol. But good lookin out tho. Peace
K_Dubble_U Hell yeah.
Shawn Williams The D.O.C wrote the most of the Cronic Album
K_Dubble_U please don't put him in a elite class with rakim or any one from the east
Man we past that East Coast/West Coast beef. It's 2017...Real recognize Real!
He's in my top 5 all time. I know some of you younger cats are turning your nose up at that, but if you were listening to N.W.A., Eazy E, or a Dr. Dre album and nodding your head, you were usually listening to a verse or song written by the D.O.C.

Had he not lost his voice in that accident, he definitely would have ran hip hop for a while. NOBODY was spitting it that lyrical from the west coast back then. And he wasn't even from there.
You GOTTA give it up to the D.O.C.
Dia Akin already...before the accident he threw that middle finger to Dr Rock and the Fila Fresh Crew....glad he's coming full circle cause the DFW rap scene has been getting fucked over for probably 30 years now
T Reed
I LIVE in the DFW and i must admit...the local talent is quite garbage. I haven't heard a cat I like yet.
Dia Akin and you won't when our local talent has to move to Atl, Cali or Htown because of the lack of exposure...which is the same thing The DOC had to do. hell, even that wack ass vanilla ice had to leave the area to make it..
Dia Akin Yo, I was born in 2001. I got a vinyl copy of "No one can do it better".
Dia Akin the music ain't melodic no more , it has no soul , no spirit, it's not inspiring! dare I say flat out "Demonic"!
Dre and D.O.C. made the best fucking hip house song ever, Portrait of a Masterpiece. Listen to it if you haven't heard it.
DOC is the gifted one ☝️. GOD restored his voice to give back to the kids in Dallas. A Angel in disguise! Genius
He wants to give back to the D-FW now
I don't know ANYONE that wasn't bumping that No One Can Do It Better album when it hit. Even today it's a must have.
Doc needs to give more interviews. He's articulate, well spoken & has a lot of wisdom to share.
The D.O.C. is super underrated. As a lyricist, rapper, artist in general. People don't understand what this man has done to shape the GREAT days of Rap/Hip-Hop. "No One Can Do It Better" came out the year I was born, which was also the year of his accident. I wonder how things would have been like if that accident didn't happen.
I will never forget the D.O.C. he had a major impact on the rap game. Salute!
Happy to see him speaking. I still have his CD. It hurt me that he could not put out more music. I enjoyed his rapping skills. Glad he is still writing for Dre.
This dude is so UNSUNG. He is unrecognized. This dude wrote alot of hits that we all listen to today.
JDeezy 1997 they need to put him on unsung then forreal
Yo J your so right
@@reginasmith6276 I thought they did fr.....i know for sure I saw a documentary about it or something
@@joe.limbus your right l forgot.
I like his voice its cool that's why a really didn't understand why nobody supported his second album helter skelter.
Boobie lou that's a great album!
I liked it and I’m going to buy no one can do it better and helter Skelter On I tunes a second time. I think I may still have helter Skelter on CD. Deuce that cam after was trash though.
I so agree with this. His voice now sounds wayyyyy better than the one he had before. Not sure why people give him such a hard time. His second album is much better.
Why buy it when you can listen on youtube for free
I miss his lyrics his voice shit still is great to this day
that guy needs to do more interviews! he asked DOC all great questions, because I was curious about the same things
Appreciate you fam. We workin'!
Respect to D.O.C.
Voice therapy for those who don’t know is a difficult process which involves retraining your vocal cords, I for one hope his recovery goes well
D.O.C. is one of my favs. I'm glad he's getting these spots today and a lot of people can gain a few things checking out one of the greats in the game. I was disappointed when he lost his voice in the accident, but I always had love for the OG. He survived and he's still around. Props.
One of my favorite I was a kid but I remember him & my moms bought me his album & I wanted his rapping style back in 1989.

High Energy Flowing with the Wisdom, !!!
The Formula!!!
One of the Best songs ever written!!!
No one can do it better.
The D.O.C. has finally found a new FORMULA. That's what's up homie .
"I am not illiterate, not even a little bit. I am not an idiot."
:) love it
this guy is truly an inspiration he is what rap music should have been mainstream wise, nonviolent just feel good vibe out respectful Hip Hop.
doc would of been as big as pac or big if not for the accident flow and voice was on 10
The D O C is a legend!!
He is Dr Dre's right hand man. He's magic! He's a national treasure for the rap game!! The greatest! Who ever dont know about the D O C don't know rap!!😎
Humbled dude right here ... one of the most underrated in the game ...
No One Can Do It Better is a top 5 rap album
dr dre should produce one last album to D.O.C on his label....come on D.O.C had a huge affect to dre dre`s success, dre`s writing skills were mediocre but he was the guy who got the beats.

while we're at it, he and Warren G should get together again and make amends
DOC was taken advantage of by people he truly cared about and they fucked him over.That’s some shitty friends.
Helter Skelter was a good album if you can tolerate his voice I can but some can’t. Deuce that came after was total garbage. I’m not sure what happened there.
I’m still hoping he gets his voice back and can make a comeback.
The D.O.C. and The Doctor
It's gettin funkaaay It's gettin funkaaay...
A Hip-Hop legend. This guy has some legendary writing not too mention performances on his resume. If we looked back at his career he would easily outshine the majority of rappers in the game.
This coulda happened to Kanye too, he was in a crazy car crash but it didn't take his voice like it did to the D.O.C.
True! Thankfully it didn't!
True , but he has no teeth . He has to wear dentures for the rest of his life.
Kanye just wouldn't be a rapper period so it wouldn't have mattered
@@GMANKOOL23 no teeth, not a bad deal. Considering he has "one of baddest bitches in the game wearing his chain" . A family, living his best life a billion dollars later. I could deal with dentures.
The crash didn't ruin his voice the doctors did
This guy is a fucking legend. He was ahead of his time back then. 👏😌
Much Love and Respect for D.O.C!!!!
I remember when Cali came to Dallas. Dallas looked like Boyz n the hood. I was in Oak Cliff, and guys had long curls with ball caps. That was my uncles generation, but we seen how it was as kids.
Brother D.O.C is just deep right here... I hope the recovery will happen for you, it's so, so hard... Sending you much love from Russia x
You sound great DOC you're a living legend sir and we love you.
you can tell the DOC is a straight shooter, just honest and forthcoming..... a refreshing way of being in these days
great interview champ.
Thank you! 🙌🏼
It's heartbreaking about his accident. But I'm pleased that he's happy and thank the Lord he survived the accident. Doc is a bloody legend.
Man I love the D.O.C.,I remember when "Funky Enough"came out,that was my jam and I still listen to that til today.I wish he could get his voice back,so sad cause he was a darn good rapper.If he was still rapping today I guarantee you he would turn most of these other rappers out with straight up "ENVY!"There would really be some serious haters!!
This was a message that hit deep. My old voice may not come back but my new voice is a part of me now
So happy for the brother! He's the pure definition of underrated
NoNameforNow DOC is hardly underrated. He's one of the best voices in rap history. Fall back you no-nothing. Ol' "in the know" ass nikka.
I must've bought that album at least ten times since 89. truly a must have. The diggy diggy DOC y'all!!!!!
gold mouth I’m going to buy it but I wonder if he even gets the money ?
I love doc, man. Dude became one of my top 3 favorites during this pandemic. Love & respect, from bbe chino
Glad to see family finally get interviewed
YES YES! I HOPE HE COMES BACK.
D O C love him I still jam him... legend!! His CD was the 1st CD I banged when I 1st put my music in my car.
Salute ORIGINAL Legend
Great writer! DOC is a legend.
one of the greatest
He's so deep, cerebral, clean, conscious, intelligent, articulate, and smooth. ❤️
legendary ... if you're young and don't know ... but love hip-hop ...add "no one can do it better" to your playlist .. #Timeless #Classic
1:37 TK Kirkland stay in the mix
We need a D.O.C. biopic. This man is responsible for so much. He pushed the culture forward in so many ways.
good to see the d.o.c. get his props
It’s crazy how ones of the dopest rappers lost his voice I fuck with the doc he definitely wrote mad shit for people tho
what's up DOC glad to see you my bro. lower alabama fucks with the DOC.
if the Doc never lost his voice he would be just as big as Cube Easy and Dre lyrically he was a beast maybe the best out of Nwa glad he still was a good producer for his lively hood because the record business can be Ruthless journey no pun intended the Doc is a fighter and survivor
There is a reason why BLACK THOUGHT shouted him out in the BEST freestyle of Funk Flexes career.
He's a Legend period! One album under his belt but it's a classic plus he wrote for Eazy and Dre. Glad to see he's still well. We always wait til' our legends pass to embrace their greatness but fuck that! Appreciate them while their here!
no one can do it better is so dope! his voice was so cool. rhymes were great as well as the production. top 20 classic album!
I'm so happy for doc, old school hip hop forever
Blessed you D.O.C and keep the good work!
Glad the West Coast D.O.C was at the Defiant Ones... DOPE!
West Dallas Texas Doc T
Met DOC at a house party in L.A near where he had his accident in the early 2000's and couldn't believe how down to Earth he was. I even called some friends on the phone that were fans of his and he talked to them!
God damn how insane that right after his first album he would get in a wreck that literally did the most damage directly to his voice box.
Doc drop classics
I love you the d .o.c you are my favorite rapper on the plane ❤️💋💋♥️♥️❤️❤️😙
Just stay focused on positivity , and everything else will fall in place . Stay Up !
shoutout to THE D.O.C he was/is truly great!
DOC I love your second record! Make another with your voice as it is!!!
d.o.c and premo album would get auto purchase.
Its funky enough. Great rap. Legend.
True school in the building. I'm 36 and I remember I used to get mega props for knowing the entire "It's Funky Enough" song. Older kids used to ask me to spit the song and they'd go crazy. Were it not for the accident the D.O.C was headed towards top 5 DOA status. He was THAT good.
A legend👑
He is one of my all time favs.
There was a song left off the "no one can do it better" album it's called Bridgette
Seems like such a humble dude DOC
All hail one ☝️ most G.0.A.T rapper with a tragic turn GodHood
Yo The D.O.C drop an album already!
Ryan Nyan He's been working on one since 2006
Ryan Nyan....the last thing he should do is make songs and drop an album....his ship has sailed and is long gone.
Deuce sucked ass but the other two were good. Idk it’s like he lost it or something. It’s been a very long time so I don’t see one coming out now.
D.O.C. being a ghostwriter elevates many other artists. You should understand this guy crushed his larynx and wrote hits. His return as the hook for "Gospel" with Dre & Eminem is a triumph for Hip Hop.
I think "funky enough" is one of thee DOPEST beats ever done. He would have had a spectacular career if he wouldn't have lost his voice. God i wish he would get his voice back. I bet deep down its torture 4 DOC. Knowing he was once the dopest rappers but hes missing the key ingredient for a huge career.

corymartin100 is like to see someone do a cover of it as a dedication to him.
The purpose of your voice man your the godfather of hip hop that some og voice
All time great on the mic
Someone who speaks and appears to carry himself with a certain level of maturity and character. Wow
May God Bless Him. I hope he makes a HUGE comeback.
