Playboy Magazine Interviews The D.O.C. [Video]
Twenty-five years after the release of his hugely successful debut album No One Can Do It Better and the subsequent car crash that tragically took his voice, rap legend The D.O.C. announces his plans to reinvent himself in an exclusive new interview in Playboy magazine’s April “Sex & Music 2013” issue (on newsstands and i.Playboy.com Friday, March 15, 2013).
Known as one of the most prolific ghostwriters in rap history, The D.O.C. has penned rhymes for legends including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eazy-E and Tupac.
In Ghost in the Machine by Alex Pappademas, The D.O.C reveals that for the first time in his career, he will now write songs with new artists as part of a reality show titled HipHopDraft Presents “I Got My Voice Back” premiering this spring.
Playboy’s exclusive interview and profile piece also discusses the inside scoop on the violent Hollywood car crash that crushed The D.O.C.’s vocals, and how he went on to write hit songs with some of the greatest rappers of all time.
The D.O.C. also discusses how he and Dr. Dre made hit records with Eazy-E and NWA
and how he and Dr. Dre came to make The Chronic.
Making major moves in 2013, the interview also details around how The D.O.C. and his business partner John Huffman IV plan to build the HipHopDraft into a TV show that creates great rap songs with the best new artists in Dallas, Texas and then in other cities around the world.
Additionally, The D.O.C. will release a playlist of his 30 favorite hip hop tracks of all time on Playboy’s Spotify Channel, and will curate Playboy’s Tumblr (playboy.tumblr.com) page for two weeks, all beginning on Tuesday, March 19.
