This album, No One Can Do It Better, has to be in my top 3 hip hop records of all time. The D.O.C. started out in Houston, Texas, but soon moved to Los Angeles after Eazy-E asked him to be a part of his Ruthless Records label. From then on, The D.O.C. was a member of N.W.A., but didn't get most of the credit he deserved. He ended up ghostwriting for Eazy (along with Ice Cube), Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and several others. He's pretty responsible for the success these rappers have had. This album was received very well by critics, but soon after its release The D.O.C. got in a terrible car accident and severly damaged his vocal chords. He released an album after the accident, Helter Skelter, but it just wasn't same. I'd recommend checking it out, he sounds like a demon, but its not easy to listen to. People thought he would never rap again, until VERY recently. Snoop persuaded The D.O.C. to see a vocal specialist, who would say that his vocal chords "had not been severed nor crushed" and could be repaired up to 70%.
I just found this out!
Anyways, this album is an undeniable hip hop masterpiece. All of the production is early, funky Dr. Dre. There are a lot of stand out tracks on this cd, so give 'em all a listen. The last song, "The Grand Finale" features every member of N.W.A (sans The Arabian Prince), and it's definitely one of their best songs. Ya'll ready for this?
