In the years that followed the 1989 career-altering car accident, The Doc (as he’s often known by) would continue his acclaimed rhyme writing, thanks to Dr. Dre’s The Chronic and Snoop Doggy Dogg’s Doggystyle, participating in the ensemble cast to the movement he helped found: Death Row Records. Parting ways with Suge Knight, Dr. Dre, and Death Row in the middle of the decade, Curry would return to rapping, despite his vocal challenges. 1996’s Helter Skelter would release through the Warner Bros.-distributed Giant label, with the raspy MC sharing the album with appearances by the late MC Breed and Jamal from Illegal. “I’m a writer, so writing is always gonna be easy. The thing that was difficult was facing the fact that I didn’t have my superpowers anymore,” said the MC of his two post-accident LPs. “Pre-accident, my voice was pretty special—I could do damn near anything with [it].”
Following Dre’s own Death Row exodus, The D.O.C. would return to a writing post at Aftermath Entertainment, working on 2001 and other Dre-attached efforts. In early 2003, the former Erykah Badu mentor (and father of her child) would release a third solo LP, Deuce. The work boasted Dr. Dre production, along with appearances by Snoop, Ice Cube, MC Ren, Nate Dogg, and latest protege, 6Two.
Do you think The D.O.C. can make a proper follow-up song to those on his debut, more than 26 years later?
