The DOC & Dr Dre - The Formula (Rare Full Version with Original Xylophone Solo)

- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- I decided to upload another gem from The DOC & Dr. Dre.
This time it's the extremely rare, almost never before heard full length version of "The Formula" complete with Dr. Dre playing the xylophone (or vibraphone. Thanks Danny.)
The version of "The Formula" that you've always heard until now tapered off as soon as the horns started playing.
Very few people were even aware that this song was originally recorded with a whole vibraphone section after the horns. Only a handful of radio stations were provided with this pre-release version.
As with my other DOC upload, this song was perfectly transferred. Meaning you are listening to the very first (and only) time this record was ever played. Also involved were a fresh diamond turntable needle & a high-end Audigy sound card.
To any hardcore DOC fans still out there who stumbled across this link: "You're welcome! Now go out there and 'pay it forward' to someone else just like I did for you here."
In an interview w David Banner The Doc stated that this remains his favorite song that he ever did.. He also went on to explain that the formula involved elements from his favorite MCs.
Run -High energy
KRS- flowing wit the wisdom
Slick Rick- sense of a rich man
Rakim- Knowledge and the rhythm
"This is what I'm using to come up with a style, so I'll interact altogether better with the crowd."
Bad bad man
Wow
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow had never seen this but it explains some things
almost 30yrs old and ill be damn if it don't still sounds good as the year it dropped the year of 89
Yep. To me this album is right there with stillmatic
This album gets play and is in heavy Rotation by kids and Adults to this day. I seen my teenage son and high school kids still knockin The Doc.
Yep and this song kinda started g funk along its funky enough and dopeman by n.w.a
That bassline
Sean Lal and the vaseline 4 your *
That's dat g funk
It's The Formula!!!
What they said 💯💯💯💯
Was lifted from marvin Gaye inner city blues.
D.O.C. was raw asf don't get enough credit.
He is in my top 5 of ALL TIME!! I put this album against ANY Eric B and Rakim album. ANY ONE OF THEM
@@toddmaek5436 true his voice was something else he drew you in plus his vocabulary and the cadence in which he delivered his rhymes was crazy 🔥🔥🔥🔥 .
@@toddmaek5436 he was a hell of a emcee plus one of the industry's best ghostwriters some of your favorite rhymes he problem wrote them there might be some we might never know about.
💯
West Coast Rakim.
@@dr.squidwardburr7661 Definitely West Coast Rakim.
Bruh wtf I'm 26 and I love old school music and dead ass just came across this song let alone this album 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You should try giving Fila Fresh Crew a listen the DOC was in it and it was dope asf
The way Dre flipped the Marvin Gaye sample is genius
High energy flowin' with the wisdom
Sense of a rich man, knowledge and the rhythm
This is what I'm using to come up with a style
So I'll interact altogether better with the crowd
Nervous for a second then the record starts spinnin'
And I fall into the state of mind of what I'd just created
Pump it like the Dr. D into the R.E. suckers ready to leap
Up on the tip when we made it
Creative so I'll never be regarded as a regular
More than just a little bit better than my competitor
You should never underestimate the fashion
I hold for the stage whether I'm coolin' or thrashin'
Clockin' the concoction created by me
When read you read E equals the D.O. to the C.
Knowledge and the talent that my mother had born to her
Equals an artist that wont' be worn, what is that Dre?
It's the formula
It's like a message that only I could understand
But those who want to comprehend will again
Be in the midst of the brother unlike another in any way
'Cause Dre don't play, say what the other say
Originality is a must whenever I bust
A funky composition, it's crush and I trust that you
Know it when you hear a funky record with potential
Me gettin' hype 'cause Dre rockin' the instrumental
Nothing like what you've heard before and more, never less
See I don't Fess, I mean I'm like fresh if not the freshest
When I'm expressin' my thoughts on
Vinyl, you can't help but listen up and get caught on
Hooked because I cook when I pick up a pen
And begin, in the end it's dope, that's 'cause I want to win
Knowledge and the talent that my mother had born to her
Equals the DOC, what is it Dre?
Yo, man, that's the formula
Keepin' it dope as long as I can like imagine
Makin' each record that I do better than the last one
Take a little time, choose the topic and drop it
Release it, the science of makin' dope beats with
Rhythmic American poetry
Shipped it to stations, now many people know of me
I'm the D. into the O. and the O. into the C. and the C. into the period
Suckers are fearing' this
When heard, the dope style calculated by the great wait
And take just a second to get caught up in my record
new but not a kid to be worn
If something' gettin' torn up then I'm doin' the tearin', not bein' torn
Shapin up to be one for the top vocalist lyricist
And when you hear of this You shouldn't choke on this
Knowledge and the talent makes it valid
For me to get it patented, Dre, tellin' what I'm rappin'
The formula
In effect and I'm smooth, that's why I'm on the incline
Suckers frontin' for nothin' 'cause I'm goin' to get mine
It's in the cards and I thank I might have read this
So dont' lie and try to front like someone said this
Most who know thoughts served by the DOC see
That it's a mission impossible, tryin' to rock me
For an arena who'd ask me to perform for her
G.O. and easily I flow and ya know usin' the formula
The manliest xylophone solo ever.
Would have gone on to be one of the best, I believe, if not for the accident. Lyrics, flow, voice. Dre on the boards. He had the whole package.
Yes.....Nothing But Pure TALENT at its best!!!!
SELENA HOLT yes he had it all talent, voice, songwriting skills , vocabulary and let's not forget looks although that doesn't really count lol.
Lyrically he is still the BEST. HE'S RESPONSIBLE FOR ALOT OF DRE'S,NWA AND EASY HITS EVEN SNOOP STYLE IS ACCREDITED TO HIM.
he was the best. his record is proof, don’t need anything more than that.
AND he fathered a child with erykah badu. mic drop.
@@mardenhill LOL! Can't argue that last point. She only messes with legends.
when this shit came out it blew everyone's mind.the lyrics, the hook, the flow.64's riding slow as the sky turned from sunny blue to deep purple. riding down to the beach and blazing the last nug in the sack. we lived this life and DOC was the sound track.
Yes indeed.....the music is what caught my attention my brother was playing this im in the bathroom doing my hair my parents started stepping to this we all we hooked after that
"Inner City Blues (Makes Me Wanna Holler)" by Marvin Gaye ('71)
@Tha truth by...?
@@b.rodclark7349 spice 1.
@@musiclover-cn7tb what's the song?
Yessir
@@b.rodclark7349 Welcome to the Ghetto by Spice 1
One of my top 5 classic's
Yeah i used to think this was the coolest funkiest sh*t, and i was right.
Yasssss!!! Agreed. They Don't Create Hip Hop Joints Like This Anymore.....
Now I know why I don't listen to hip hop these days... it sucks. But this, 90's from east coast to west coast, it was all awesome, with deep lyrics and awesome beats.
From the beginning to end just lyrical madness matched with flow love tokin an L n bobbin my head to this shit.
Still number " 1 ".....
Still bumping 2018
" Still bumping in 2020 "
The biggest 'What If?' in hip-hop history. He's on my Mt. Rushmore of MCs.
No cuss words pure flow no ni&&×..what rapper what yr can say that on a full album with tight beats from beginning to end..BOW DOWN and Show respect
✊
👍
Preach
for sure man, I learned the lines. I spit it back in instrumental. Just like Eric B and Rakim.
Hands Down!!!
it's like a message that only I can understand.
But those who choose to comprehend will again be in the midst of brother, unlike no other
Talented Dallas legend with a Compton twist .... I miss his style of rap.
Doc from Dallas?
@@jasonelbow3807 yep
I always loved he was from Dallas and rocked with L.A folks. California & Texas were always the same damn near on the Rap Tip. We loved Texas Rappers in Nor Cal &So Cal Fr
Me too. As long we keep listening and never stop, his music and that era will never stop bumping
Historic Album. Very Underated. Real Hip Hop!!!!
If i could, i would give you a thousand likes.
ONE OF THE BEST DELIVERIES EVER!!!
28 years later and it's still funky. Youth personified.
33
This song is 1 of the best from DOC. It has a vibe that you can listen to for a lifetime!!!!
Omg. Every time I hear real musiq like this I be in tears cuz it's classic. Now I'm in tears in 2017 cuz I hate the trap trash musiq that's out now
Hip pop and trap trash :(
It ain’t like the OG times I feel you. But we still got this time to reach these youngins with this music
This song is still banging in 2022
The best version HANDS DOWN!
i love the way the song opens!
Rico Montoya me too!!!!
Tanika Washington oh yeah his voice made you pay attention immediately he captivates you with this song and he didn't have to curse one time...damn that was dope😂😂😂😂😂.
Best pure lyricist on the west coast by way of Dallas in that time... and probably still in the tops! IMO
People forget that the album this song was on went #1 on the charts in 89 and it went platinum.
still bangin this
i feel you bro
Also, I didn't know such a version as this even existed. Shame on some of the radio stations for holding back on us with this one.
Univer Sol Yeah that part👊🏿
Bro thank you for uploading the full version, an absolute treat to the ears
The Dallas Oak Cliff..no one can do it better..represent that D Town..yes sir..
I’m from Dallas like the DOC they played this song on K104 everyday when this came out
I know. I from the D Town
Now that I'm older. I never noticed, but D.O.C. sounds like a rougher version of Fresh Prince (Will Smith in this era) . There cadence were similar.
proud to say i got the single vinyl old skool foe life
One of thee best lyricists ever.
3:50 chills every time
This was the era of music that really stuck to your mind to keep you humming and bumping this beat in the head. To all the real , keep that fire lit.
God damn this beat is firrreee
This song is why I became a Dr Dre fan
The Greatest Gift of Hip Hop
Classic joint, just straight flow.....
This is my favorite song of all time. It isnt the best, or the hardest, or all that.... It's just my favorite song. The beat, his voice, his lyrics how old I was when i heard it etc... All kinda just mixed together that first time I heard it.
This nigga better than 90% of rappers out now.
Unbelievable song with an amazing solo at the end. Gives me goosebumps every time !
This is just soooo goooood lol why cant a lot of rappers be like this? Like actual talent. Not talking about everyone being the exact same cause that'll get repetitive and boring fast and we want everyone to unique in their own way👍👍👍
Knowledge and the talent that my mother had born to her equals the Doc
What is that Dre?....the formula!!!
Dope lyrics....what happen to this kind of rap?
WORD. KNOWLEDGE AND TALENT THAT MY MOTHER HAD BORN TO HER!!! Equals me
Thanks for sharing, DOC's def 1of the best that did it.
Upon hearing this cat and later seeing him at a radio station cook out, he ain't no joke, he rhymes like he did it forever, they didn't let him get loose in SOC, and dude is truly a gift to the art form of Hip Hop! Peace!
this has been my favorite song for 31 years and I've never heard this version before.
Best west coast hip hop song of all time. Fight me.
Yo man,dat's the Formula!
Fun fact: I use to dance to this album when it came out. I was only 2. Ever since then that era of rap has been and always will be the greatest to me.
One of the GREATEST lyricist ever SALUTE DOC still BUMPING this shit 2021 🔥🔥🔥🔥
ahhhh great quality and bass hits harder than i remembered
everlasting..true Hip-Hop
The Best kind of rap THE G-FUNK NEED TO COME BACK!!
Bumpin' this since my brother introduced me to D.O.C. & his *R* hythmic *A* merican *P* oetry back in '89!
the xylophone though.....sweet!
they played this on 107.9 philly and i was amazed when the song didn't end as soon as the horns started up
one of thee dopest songs ever!!!! still jam this album like it just came out!!! classic shit
Who bangin this in 2017
Jay Tha Driver bagin this 2018
These okd skool bangers will never expire
Malik Shabazz I'm in 2020 with this cold blooded classic
2019 now still slappin in oakcliff
That beat was so damm cold
After seeing that N.W.A. movie D.O.C.'s contribution is more important than ever! I hope he gets his documentary/ reality series.
We can only assume how big he woulda been to the rap game.
One of the dopest to ever do it. Damn it sucks that he lost his voice😭💯
inner city blues
Marvin Gaye
PERFECT late night ride tune!!
It's the formula!!!!!
It crazy how this classic song came about I read in a interview dre was coming back from doing his thing all night early morning, doc was was passed on the floor in dre pad, and Dre basically say let's get to it saying he had a dream of him rapping over this exact Marvin gaye beat, it also insane how the classic its funky enough was just Doc missing around drunk , doing the reggae flow, if Doc never had that crash he would be in the same conversation of 2 pac, Biggie, Rakim, Scarface, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, early Ice Cube (his early work in nwa and first albums to come out), etc. As GOAT mcs
Talent for life!
Almost 30 years later and it's still in my regular rotation!
Some of my favorite beats are from this album. This era set a new bar in production.
Gotta love real hip hop...and also gotta give the WEST COAST SOME LOVE....
i officially broke the 4 digit likes , still deserves way more underrated big time
Old school heat.... classic... still jamming, & relevant in 2018. 🔥🔥🔥
Classic jam never gets old no lie
Another great one, thanks for uploading!
this shit is sick
Roughly 14 years ago the local radio station would play this and it touched my soul ever since. Then I finally find out 7 years from then it was The D.O.C.
2020 and I still bump this!! My motivation!! #Highenergyfullwiththewisdom
Best of uploads! You can’t beat an old rare vinyl.
DOC was in his bag with this one.
True Crime Streets of LA reminded me of this bump. Shit is straight fire.
All time great!
I also "cook" using "The "Formula". Thanks a million for sharing!
Hip Hop Hidden Gem!!!!
DOC was like the best tape i owned back then
Please give this Man his flowers now…
