iTunes Review
The story of the D.O.C. is one of hip-hop's great tragedies. Originally from Texas, he was down with the Fila Fresh Crew, and appeared on N.W.A and the Posse. Befriending Dr. Dre in the late ‘80s, he released his boldly titled debut album in 1989. Produced entirely by Dre, and recorded around the same time as Straight Outta Compton, No One Can Do It Better was an instant classic, absolutely loaded with dizzyingly intricate (but decidedly un-gangsta) lyricism and furiously rugged beat work. It also spawned runaway hits like "The Formula," and "It's Funky Enough." Shortly after receiving a gold plaque, the D.O.C. totaled his car and crushed his larynx, taking away the voice that was just about to make him a superstar. He went on to ghostwrite for Dre for many years, contributed heavily to The Chronic, and acted as mentor for a young Snoop Dogg. He eventually released two more albums over the years, though neither one made much noise. Regardless, No One remains an undeniably essential piece of rap music, as crucial today as it was 20 years ago.
Customer Reviews
This Sh*t is worth it
This is West Coast at it's best with nuthin but bass bumpin records that got wanting for more. These are my honest opinion for all the songs. 1)It's Funky Enough--5/5 2)Mind Blowin'--4/5 3)Lend Me an Ear--4.5/5 4)Comm. Blues--3/5 5)Let the Bass Go--5/5 6)Beautiful But Deadly--5/5 7)D.O.C. and the Doctor--4.5/5 8)No One Can Do It Better--5/5 9)Whirlwind Pyramid--4.5/5 10)Comm. 2--4/5 11)The Formula--5/5 12)Portrait of a Master Piece--4/5 13)The Grand Finale--5/5
one of the best cds ever
After the release of his debut album, the career of Texas-born rapper the D.O.C. was shattered by a car crash that almost took his life. Although he could no longer rap like he used to, his former producer Dr. Dre featured the rapper on his groundbreaking album The Chronic, which built on the foundation laid by the D.O.C.'s No One Can Do It Better. He was also featured on Snoop Doggy Dogg's Doggystyle. The D.O.C. returned in early 1996 with Helter Skelter, his first album in nearly seven years. The album received mixed reviews and failed to earn a large audience, leaving the charts a few months after its release. Lastly Holy Trinity you had better hope that we never meet, because you dared to diss this cd, The Predator by Ice Cube, and The Geto Boys. You don't have to like rap, but the fact that you would rather watch a show called the firefly, then listen to this real music tells me a lot about your character. For one, your a closet f***** who needs to come out, you hard rock wannabe. Give up at life, because obviously you've failed so far!
(Portrait of a) Master Piece
When listening to this album, you have to remember that it's The D.O.C.'s only album. It's heartbreaking to think of his potential; I mean, if his first album was this good, imagine how great he could have become in time? It's a shame his larynx was crushed, I mean of all the things to have injured it had to be the ONE thing essential to rapping; his voice. But this aside, this really is a phenomenal album, and his lyrical skill really shines. I would say that every track is worth buying, though my favorites are: -- It's Funky Enough: great beat + great hook + D.O.C. = great single -- The Formula: this is one of my favorite hip/hop songs of all time, the smooth beat blends perfectly with D.O.C.'s rapid yet crisp flow. My favorite song on the album by a long shot. -- The Grand Finale: this is a must-buy for any NWA fan who wants even more material, as it features Ice Cube, Eazy-E, MC Ren, Dr. Dre and the D.O.C. all on one track. Grand finale indeed.
