Legendary West coast rapper The D.O.C. is planning to release a new documentary that will detail his career, as well as the rise and fall of Ruthless Records, from an insiders point of view.
The D.O.C. was one of the founding members of the original N.W.A. Collective (N.W.A. And the Posse), who stayed behind the scenes as a writer during Ruthless Records' early years.
D.O.C, born Tracy Wright, eventually released his own album No One Can Do It Better, a certified Hip-Hop classic produced by Dr. Dre, via Eazy-E's Ruthless Records imprint.
A terrible car accident in 1989, crushed The D.O.C.'s windpipe which ruined his unique voice, effectively ending his rap career. The rapper stayed with Dr. Dre throughout his tenure at Death Row, ghostwriting on albums like Eazy Duz It, Straight Outta Compton, Efil4Zaggin, 100 Miles and Runnin', The Chronic and others.
In a lengthy interview with HipHopDX.com, The D.O.C. revealed that his untitled documentary is in the works.
"The documentary is a journey over these past 20 years," The D.O.C. explained. "I’m going to let you guys see all the drama, all the bulls**t, from the inside. I’ma give you an interesting story, that nobody knows about."
If fans don't remember D.O.C. as an official member of N.W.A., the legendary rapper explained the reason during the interview with HipHopDx. According to D.O.C., most of the group kept him out of the spotlight, because he was ghostwriting their material.
"Whenever these guys did interviews, whenever they took pictures, whenever they did videos, they went out of they way not to let me in ‘em," D.O.C. revealed. "If you go back you’ll never see me in none of ‘em. They wouldn’t let me in ‘em. They didn’t want me there, I think because they didn’t want muthafu**as to know that they wasn’t writing they own s**t. If you go back to they old interviews, [when] the interviewers would ask them muthaf**kas questions they would look f**kin’ dumbfounded. Because, the questions that they were asking the muthaf**kas was about lyrics that I wrote for ‘em. Only Cube really understood I think what the aim was. Dre did sonically. But Cube understood what we was trying to aim for. That’s why his subsequent albums were in that same vein."
D.O.C said that the documentary, which will also showcase his quest to get his voice box repaired, won't tear down the amazing legacy of Eazy-E or Dr. Dre.
"For me, it’s not really about the negative aspects of the story," D.O.C. said. "What happened to me, you know, boo hoo, that was for Doc [to go through]. I just think the story is really neat. I think it makes a really cool story. [But] if you’re gonna tell it, tell that b**ch right."
