--------
In this clip, The D.O.C. talked about the cast of creatives coming together to make the classic "The Chronic" album despite everyone's collective turmoil. He said there wasn't much difference between the Death Row sessions and NWA sessions except the street element began to dominate the process. Despite the increased danger, D.O.C. noted that Suge Knight and Snoop Dogg always made sure he was protected.
Interview by: Justin Hunte
A big part of The Chronics album success was D.O.C's song writing skills, Dre's production and Snoop's rapping.
Warren G also provided a lot of samples, before anyone knew who he was.
And the diggy doctor 🏥
I love The Chronic and agree with everything you said, but I'll also add some of the side guys like 'the narrator' RBX and Nate Dogg played key roles in making the album one of the all time greats.
Warren G played pivotal role...He's hardly mentioned..
RBX wrote on the Chronic a lot and Let Me Ride was literally his song that he gave to Dre and it won a Grammy award later. RBX's input is crucial to the success of the album.
Dre was the common denominator. It’s always been Dre. He did it 3 times. Ruthless. Death Row. Aftermath. Created superstars at every stop.
False
@@tithefox4573 Hush.
@@mindbully NWA (Ruthless) all of those guys held their own and Cube did a whole lot in the group. Snoop (Death Row) is the only artist Dre turned into a superstar. Em and 50 were already being sought after by major execs (just like Kendrick) and they chose Dre but they already were on the cusp of blowing up. If you believe that, then Puff created more stars cause he introduced more people to nobodies than Dre. Dre has even said, Em saved his career. 🤫
@@tithefox4573 You’re delusional. None of those artists winds up where they are if not for Dre’s production. ASK THEM.
@@mindbully it's called respect, what are they supposed to say. I'm sure Justin Timberlake would give Timbaland a ton of credit for him becoming a star, although he was already making noise with N'sync. Because Dre's production helps an artist sell records, doesn't mean he made them a star. Dre has produced plenty of songs for people. Did Kanye make John Legend a star? Manny Fresh make Lil Wayne a star? Come on man, when artists ALREADY have a following, they are gonna blow, it's just a matter of how big. Who they align themselves with determines the trajectory, we are talking about already talented artists.
For those that don’t know DOC went thru a car windshield and lost his voice. One of the greatest rappers/writers you’ve never heard of.
FACTS!!!
Everyone knows that including the young folks
Thx tips
Maybe the greatest Writer in RAP history
ITS THE DIGGY DIGGY DOC YALL
He took 2 min to ask the question on a 5 min clip😂
Relax I’m sure he didn’t edit the video himself
Plus he said Eazy was dead, Eazy was still alive when the first Chronic was made. Smh lol
Vlad needs to coach these guy he to do interview
Ppl always complaining
Shiit it ain’t like vald does a great job at interviewing
Eazy E didn’t pass away during the Chronic. He passed away in March of ‘95. Eazy E released “Real MF Gz” right after “Dre Day.” I hate when people don’t do their homework on the guests they’re interviewing.
That shii pissed me off 😂😂
@@l-khop0110 yea bro. And DOC being kind not correcting him. I wonder if Vlad checks for these types of mistakes when evaluating his talent staff. 🤷♂️
Real MF Gs came out in 93
@@ccryptotrapper6128 yea and Dre day video came out in late ‘92
💯
Those were the days. When the Chronic came out i was 13 years old. That CD was amazing and still is. Then Doggystyle came out. Those two albums changed the game and i remember wanting both albums so bad. Watching Dre Day on MTV,nuthin but a G thang baby,snoops whats my name and Gin and juice were all major hits that i would watch the videos for. Such a great time to be a teenager and a fan of good music. The early to mid 90's were a special time for anyone. The Bulls and MJ,Baseball was great,49ers vs Cowboys rivalry,Deathrow records were amazing,MTV was bumping,In Living Colour was great and award shows were fun to watch and the OJ Simpson trial had everyone engrossed. Heaven for me would be to relive the 90's in a loop😂😂.
You can’t dismiss the phenomenon that was 90210!
Epic!
Yoooooo lmaooo u nailed it. My teacher cried and we got toys and food when O.J won that trial. 90s was epic. Dont get me started With Super nintendo and street fighter sheesh. And the sneakers. The list goes on !!
Do you remember Death Row vs Ruthless? Was that big then
@@oscarl5150 it was pretty big because of E. but thats where it stopped because it was a west coast beef. i remember wacthing MTV back then and he was sittin in the 64 talking about this and was like we are the real ones them other dudes are just rappers and actors. thats when he had BG knoccout and his brother dresta rappin with him. BG has grown a lot since those days
Dude said Eazy-E passed away while The Chronic was being made. Smdh. That Vlad school of journalism, where you just get things wrong, and don't correct them, is still in full effect.
I think D.O.C. got the gist of his line of questioning and felt correcting him on that was pointless. If the main argument was about Eazy in any way I’m sure he would’ve corrected him.
Dre went from wearin’ lipstick to SMOKIN ON Chronic at picnics.
@@fuhyou3223😂😂😂 anybody used that line?
@@91Definite Eazy on Real Muthaphuckkin G's
@@fuhyou3223 he was she thang
Suge should’ve NEVER had a gang of lowlifes in a place where legit business is being conducted. That was never going to end well
It ended well. It created the chronic. You can't do music like that in a squeaky clean industry environment. It has to come from the dirt. And it gave the artists, who were square rappers a platform to live out their gangster personas and be as energetic as they were
@@space_dogg it got pac killed, a lot of the gang members killled, dre and snoop left the label, and suge in jail and eventually death row was destroyed. Idk what you’re talking about tbh
@@tylers6611Pac died for voluntarily jumping on a Southside Crip. Dre left after he found out Suge was fucking Michel’le behind his back. Snoop left because Suge refused to make him president of the label while Suge was locked up. Suge having bloods around the label wasn’t the cause of his downfall & all of the artists already had pending cases that had nothing to do with Suge’s entourage.
You should've told him that
billion dollar mistake he made.
One of the best MC's to ever touch the mic his rhymes still stand the test of time
Not illiterate not even a little bit
Can't understand how a man got so much bad luck.
MOST DEFINITELY
“And at Death Row i hear you getting treated like boot camp” - Eazy E
Real mothphuckin G
....And when this song/line was said, I believe the general public didn't know yet about the terror going on inside Death Row......wonder who gave Eazy the inside scoop?
@@lethal5flow679Eazy was really from the streets so im sure he had plenty of people who knew Suge’s people too, and word just got around
@@bonethugsfiendtrue dat
Bruh stop with the lyrics. You sound like a young cat
D.O.C 1of the dopest MC of all time. Pen game insane.
"And this was like the Amusement Park for them"...That line is deep!
The Chronic was done in a chaotic environment, sadly.
"stress creates diamonds"
DAAAMN DIDNT KNOW THAT THE CHRONIC WAS MADE UNDER PRESSURE… BUT THEY SAY…PRESSURE IS GONE DO 2 THINGS… ITS EITHER GONE MAKE DIAMONDS OR ITS ON BUSS PIPES!!!! SND IN THIS CASE IT MADE A DIAMOND👊🏿🙏🏿💯… SHOUT OUT TO MY 2nd OF 5 FAVORITE RAPPERS…
Chaos makes greatness sometimes. Shouldn't have been like that but I believe everything happens for a reason.
@@TSteele718 - I agree with you, partially. The chaos was probably good for the short term (they were all young, wild, and free and some had gang affiliations). Long-term, they should have transitioned to a stable, corporate musical label.
The Deathrow Records story is a sad, sad one. With all the great music, it is tainted with death, jail time, gang-banging, scandals, unpaid monies etc.
@@bigcockedman714 Thats like saying loud neighbors while youre studying or somebody farting next to you during a test made you get a 100 on the exam. Sometimes aggravating circumstances and stupid people being a detriment to the mission is what it looks like: stupid people in your way doing stupid shyt. They add nothing.
This was the man back in '89. Sad he lost his voice in a bad accident. D.O.C. had a kick ass album. I still have the cassette and I bought the CD years later. I think he would have been larger than Dre. and just as large as Cube
Dre is larger than cube tho
I LOVED that album! I stole it and "Redhead Kingpin" from The Valley Stream Mall back in 1989! 😂🤣
@@futurefind674
“Pump it hottie” - Classic
@@MuscleMindConnect 🤣👍🏾 Second song on the album, if I'm not mistaken.
He lost his voice because the dr removed the scarring vs lettin it heal naturally…doc still had his voice before surgery .. if the doctor left him and let him healed he would be good
The D.O.C. was the back bone of the Chronic album.
Man, if Suge had his mind right Death Row Records would have definitely been the Motown of Hip-Hop!!!
Mowtown was a class act. No violence or thuggery in the music. Motown did not celebrate criminals and dudes calling women B and hos
@@123pbMotown definitely did not publicly promote that type of music, but Berry Gordy definitely LIVED IT behind the scenes.😳Because a lot of Motown Artists got JERKED & Gordy had MOB BACKING!!!
My Uncle “Juggy Murray Jones” who started & owned “Sue Records”(named after my Grandmother, Google him) told me about Berry Gordy’s business practices, because they were in competition at a certain time.
So, I said the……
”Motown Of Hip-Hop” in reference to the SUCCESSFUL ARTISTS & PRODUCERS who were signed to the Death Row Label. And IF Suge had a PROFESSIONAL MINDSET & ran the company LIKE MOTOWN, IMO, Death Row would’ve mirrored MOTOWN’S SUCCESS!
Remember, Suge was in the process of expanding & starting “Death Row East” in my city New York!!! And btw, do you really think Jimmy Iovine is a FKNG BOY SCOUT? 😳😂😂 Yo, we ALL have our individual OPINIONS & I LOVE IT, because we’re not robots 🤖 & life would be excruciatingly BORING if we all thought the same! Salute! 🫡
DJ Vlad should interview Justin Hunte he has an incredible journey through hip hop journalism and it literally saved his life.
This clearly isn't Vlad.
@@Revolver1981the interviewer in this video is Justin Hunte, which is why he brought up the idea of Justin Hunte getting an interview
The D.O.C spit that very elliquently. The music was the same the environment changed. I bet that was scary fun all at the same time!
Do not forget the doc solo album was one of the greatest also back then no cussing,. give him his credit to.
he only swore on one song.
Damn...The power of life and death is in the tongue. "Death Row was an amusement park for ex cons and soon to be cons".
@@calwatch1496you from out there?
Dr Dre just never gave up. From world class wrecking cru, NWA, Death Row, Aftermath, Apple. He the goat
I bought that album atleast 5 times. Some I left in old cars I got rid of & couple I just lost lol.
I remember I bought ‘Doggystyle’ on cassette and the cassette had two extra songs. The CD didn’t have those two songs.
@@itsascaryworld9788On Spotify by now I’m sure but what were those 2?
Gz up hoes down was 1

The Chronic is still top 5 in Hip Hop classic albums
Not even close overrated too many better albums that came out during the early 90s
@@vontesantos5981 2001 aged well over the years 💯. Still have the original Chronic over alot of classic albums
@@vontesantos5981dude what? What album from 1990-1992 sounded like the chronic ? From the production, skits, sequencing ? It was a Game Changer.
I still remember it like yestardy I was young in school going out to the city to my local cd shop and purchasing the chronic album man I had that blasting everywhere I went the good old days
The interviewer has his timeline mixed up. Eazy was still alive when the chronic came out
It just seems D.O.C. is stating THE REAL TRUTH about those times..... Appreciate The DOC for that👌🏽💯
The Chronic changed the world thats a fact!
Every time I listen to The Chronic, I find another song that I like but Let Me Ride is the GOAT
A "Ninja With A Gun" hit hard than a mutha!!
Stranded on death row was the BOMB!
Kurupts verse in Lyrical gangbang. Kurupts verse in stranded on death row. His bars in Doggystyle. The common denominator for me is him, he brought the most heat to me
@@solidsnake7167 💯 Kurupt 92-96 couldn't be touched. He was Top 3 lyricist in the rap game at that time
@@DaMixWizard yup, unfortunately drugs made him a shell of his former self. There are some bangers on space boogie and streets is a mutha though. C-Walk/Raw/ etc also go soooo hard and has a true westcoast sound but obviously those ain’t the kinda songs that will be commercial hits
The CRONIC is still on my top 3 playlist.That was a phenomenal album.I really wish Suge would have kept it professional and about business…
Damn, If DOC voice never got messed up...would Snoop still be the success that he is?
Probably not, because DOC was next up. But that’s also why DOC helped snoop out with everything and pushed him.
Would there be an eminem is the real question
Did D.O.C worked on Snoop's "Doggystyle" too?
Doggystyle was a bigger nightmare since Death Row got kicked out of many studios.
That’s cause Doggystyle was mostly crip rappers and had bloods in the same studio.
D.O.C. did work on Doggystyle. He wrote Gin & Juice, he was also on the chorus of Serial Killa
DOC left around in 1994 to Atlanta with MC Breed
You got to know how to ask a question. By the time the question was asked it was so long filled personal anecdotes and the experience the person asking the question that the exact question got forgotten.
Ask him about the incident between him and Mob James when he took off with all those Piru's in the limo
I heard about that
I love the d.o.c. you are my favorite rapper of all time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙❤️❤️😙
No one can do it Better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All respect due to Pac but The Chronic album is the cornerstone of Death Row…the culture still use slang from that album till this very day…a production masterpiece
The Chronic built Death Row. But All Eyez On Me saved Death Row. So you cant discredit Pac for s&&&. Because Death Row was living off of Dre and Snoop for every f&^^^ release after The Chronic. Which is why 1995 Death Row will be remembered for Dre's Keep Their Heads Ringin single. Not That Dogg Pound's Lets Play House and The bs Dogg Food album. Because Dogg Pound's debut album was a flop when it came to Death Row's album standards. In 1995, Bone Thugs N Harmony and Ruthless wrapped circles around Death Row. Death Row was finished until Pac came in and saved Death row for 1996.
@@dianevrules where in my comment did I discredit Pac???…Pac is who he was and his All Eyes On Me album is a classic but make no mistake The Chronic is one of the Top 5 classic hip hop albums period…that album built Death Row…nowhere in my comment did I discredit Pac…read comments carefully before you get emotional
My favorite album of all time hands down!
@@dianevrules you typed all that just to say a buncha bullshit
All Eyes on me is regarded as the Greatest Rap Album of All time.
Vlad, you better keep Justin around doing these, he knows his shit....true hip hop purest
D.O.C. is a TOP5 most important Death Row related artist/person. Period.
DOC’s story is a trip. He was a rapper at the top of the game. His livelihood and career was strictly because of his words and voice. Then tragedy strikes and he has an accident, which he ends up surviving, but loses the one thing that made him who he was… his voice. Wow. Talk about a test from God. I hope he turns into a positive.
Challenge from god? There's no Challenge if you already know the outcome. False gods
That was certainly the hand of God in that. I thought that even as a boy. Test, chastisement, punishment, one of those.
Damn, It had to be tough being a person knowing that you are someone who felt that they had “things to lose” and being around these people who didn’t give a f#%k because most of them probably felt like they had nothing to lose.
Bumping MC breed the new breed yeah DOC writing is the shit on there
“D”allas
“O”ak
“C”liff … a true mastermind behind The Chronic album.
Legend 🔥 🔥
Naming the company “Death Row” was also a huge mistake.
Nah, it wasn’t. It was the most gangsta record company with gangsta music at the time
Never heard that being an issue 🤡
This interviewer ask just right questions.Not to forget anything else
I was 10 years old and blasting it in Harbor City CA. HxCC
“Snoop Doggy Dogg funky as the-the-The DOC”
For some reason I kept feeling the need to clear my throat this entire interview
I'm at age 41. I definitely remember you D.O.C. Excellent M.C. and producer. Much love.
It's crazy to hear DOC talk nowadays, dude used to have one of the most distinct voices in hip hop.
He punctured his vocal cord in the car accident. That will do it.

U Compton knew Goldie lool
@@blk9743 Just seeing the clip of him on KTLA about being a born again worker lol...Napoleon told 2 funny stories about Heron too...Him and 2Pac seemed to have gotten along really well too....If Heron had been in Vegas strapped..Things may have turned out differently
Vlad we need a couple more minutes bro holyyyyy
A ton of bloods with Snoop being a crip. Surprised that wasn't an issue
The DOC should try to use that AI for his voice like Beans is trying too.
It would worked out
naw his real voice is coming back
@@indigoearthangel888 Cool....I did not know that. Thanks
Dude asked a question that lasted the entire clip. DOC had no time to respond
Dude should use AI to make all the albums he wanted to do before the accident! And nobody should tell me that’s not a great idea !
It would certainly be interesting for to him try a couple songs that way and hear how it comes out. The AI tracks I have heard are not perfect, but still it is impressive, what they are able to do.
By this point he could definitely change his voice but I think after all these years it’s now his unique voice, nobody sounds like this except him he’s unique
@@Fuq2I love it. I agree with you, it’s unique and he’s the only one that has it.
Gotta follow ya saugent directions r get cho as pop with this smith n Wesson
~eazy e~
Good interview
'What makes the beat so F-F-Funky?'
doc i love you cuh
DOC, the only one who hasn't talked sh!7 about Suge since his crew died & he got locked up.
Respect
DOC ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I remember Snoop referred to D.O.C as his 'sensei' when it comes to this Rap sh!t
That part payed homage to D.O.C. 💯
Snoop could freestyle his ass off long before he met doc
D.O.C. Taught Snoop how to structure songs..
Justin you doing a great job bro
Thank you I work really hard at what I do!
No One Can Do it Better is top 10 albums in Hip hop.
Doc, you were the realest of all! They couldn't touch you, point blank period
West Coast and Southern legend!!!!!!!
Slow down playa Easy E died after the Chronic...he loved the Chronic cuz he was getting paid off it 🤣🤣🤣
Justin Hunte on Vlad.....Justin is the goat🔥🔥🔥
DOC is just nodding, nodding and nodding waiting for a question... Lol
Chronic was great, Nation of Millions was the greatest.
The chronic was probably the most complete hip hop album ever made not a bad jam on it
D.O.C. a legend, Vlad should’ve done this one.
DOC sound like he was scared of them niggas lol
No, shit. He had something to lose, unlike those losers.
"either on their way to the penitentiary, or just coming home from the penitentiary"....smh, that's basically most the hood
Yall should listen From Ruthless to Death Row DOC explains everything dope track.
This dude is a pretty good interviewer
Imagine being the only Dallas guy, all-be-it THE DOC, side-eyed by LA's realest on a daily basis.
Longest question ever..
People not real how thats The greatest hip hop album . How it takes a million to hold us back Fear of a black planet.
Shout out to The Company Man!
still bump that Helter Skelter Album to this day, DOC. No one can do it better too, crazy ppl only talk about The formula but its alot of songs on that mf that go hard... Lend me an ear, whirlwind pyramid, beautiful but deadly, let the bass go.. the whole joint ! lol. That song he just did w the Codefendants was dope af too...
Facts! People dont realize how amazing that album was, and what it did for hip hop
Much respect 🫡
damn I knew i recognized that voice hale naw. Dope. If anyone enjoys XM or sirius and rock with Rude Judes show or Lord Sears then you already know
1:35 to ask the first question 😮
got damn i fucking damn near dozed off while he was asking that long as question wtf
I wonder if AI-type technology could be used with him rapping and smoothing out his voice for the final version of the recording.
The Formula🔥
Still one of my favourite tracks is "The day the niggas took over" had 2 say it....
It took u 1 min and 35 secs to ask a question lol cmon man stop with the suspense and just ask the dam question dogg
Liking the interviewer 💯👌🏾
Giving Suge props because Suge gave him the "immunity card" is pretty sad. He is basically admitting the whole atmosphere was bullying and lots of illegal stuff going down if they felt like screwing somebody over. Basically, he just gave props to the bully to not allow the bully atmosphere that he (Suge) created affect him.
Right? how f****** up is that. Hey, I'm an employee of your company, a very important one that is going to put millions in your fat ass wallet, but let me thank you for not getting stomped, shanked, or pistol whipped while I'm doing it. WTF
People have to realize there are pros and cons to everything. But a lot of ppl like death row because of the bloods especially the gangstas.
Took half the video just for the dude to ask the damn question 😅😂
mane this must be sharp daddy 👀
The Chronic was already a few years old when Eazy passed...how could Eric's passing impact the making of The Chronic!?!
This is a LEGEND! Why Vlad ain't ask the questions??
Legend
Bro. GET TO THE DAMN POOOOOINT!!😩🤦🏽♂️
Every time they show footage of them in the studio during that period, I never see any bloods.
DOC definitely a Texan
