Fantastic interview with LA legend (well Dallas transplant like Scarface but made his career in LA) The D.O.C about his roles in creating NWA, Ruthless, and in part Death Row Records. He dishes a lot of street and back room shit from the 80s/90s west coast rap drama, and some of it is tainted by a bit of hubris, but I can tell you certainly that there is A LOT of truth in what he is saying. Essentially, The D.O.C is calling out names, and rightfully so. EVERY cat who bumped LA rap in the late 1980s knew that D.O.C was the best rapper and writer in the scene, and he was involved writing for NWA and later Dre/Death Row music that went super-Platinum. In a weird way, he is the origin of the 1990s. This is a MUST read if y'all don't know all this shit that has become LA street lore and the kind of gossip I grew up on.
