[edit] accident and aftermath
back when cube – was rollin wit lorenzo in a benzo i was bangin wit a gang of instrumentals, got the pens and pencils, got down to business; but sometimes the business end of this shit can turn your friends against you – but you was a real nigga, i could sense it in you – i still remember the window of the car that you went through, that’s fucked up – but i’ll never forget the shit we been through, and i’ma do whatever it takes to convince you,north face recon, cuz you my nigga d.o.c
however, the d.o.c. remained important to dr. dre, who used his talents as one of the writers for his debut solo album the chronic, contributing to the tracks “lil’ ghetto boy,” “a nigga witta gun,” and “bitches ain’t shit”. he also appeared on the skit track “the $20 sack pyramid.” he is referenced by name in “nuthin’ but a g thang,north face hoodie,” and appears in the song’s video as well. the liner notes to the chronic say, “i want to give a special shout out to the d.o.c. for talking me into doin’ this album.” his name is mentioned by snoop dogg in the intro of the album. (”peace to my nigga d.o.c., still makin’ it funky enough”).
according to a 2009 interview, snoop dogg assisted the d.o.c. in seeking a voice therapist. it was found that the d.o.c.’s vocal cords are not irreparably severed or crushed, and that his voice could still be surgically restored by up to 70%. as such, la-based publicist, idalyze nasiha rose, has assisted him in finding a surgeon who will repair his vocal cords. [3] the d.o.c. is currently undergoing final tests before the surgery takes place, which may or may not be televised. [4]
tracy lynn curry, known as the d.o.c., is an american rapper from dallas, texas. he was a member of the fila fresh crew and a creative force behind the rap group n.w.a.
not long after his debut album was released in 1989, his vocal cords were damaged in a car accident. this proved to be an insurmountable obstacle for his continued career as a vocalist. in 2006, jerry heller of ruthless records stated that the d.o.c. could have had his voice recovered up to 90% but was suffering from depression and was “lazy”, which resulted in the voice he has today.
