ThaFormula.com Staff - ThaFormula.com was named after one of the greatest tracks ever recorded, the D.O.C.'s "The Formula." _It's only fitting that we introduce our greatest interview to date, with the man behind the name, and one of the greatest MC's of all time. So sit back, relax, and light up a phat one as we present to you Part 1 with the D.O.C. We call this masterpiece, "From Ruthless To Deathrow." This interview was conducted_ March 19th 2002.
ThaFormula.com - First off, I just wanna say that this is an honor, and that in my opinion if it weren't for your tragic accident, you would have been the greatest MC of all time...
D.O.C. - Now wait a minute, what's up with this would have been shit? Don't count me out like that!
ThaFormula.com - Nah man, I'm sayin' at this point in time I feel you would have been the best and I say that only because you and Dre were one of the greatest combinations of all time...
D.O.C. - Ok, well thank you brother, and you know what I think man? I think you are exactly right, and I don't mean any disrespect to nobody, but I think you are absolutely, exactly right, and when I say don't count me out yet, don't let it be because my voice is gone that that takes that marquee away from my name. _We still working on me being the greatest of all time. It just may take a little while.
ThaFormula.com - I always thought that you wrote a lot of the material from the early Death Row days. Did you have a lot of input when it came to that?
D.O.C. - Well what I did was the same thing I do with these young guys now, which is that I don't persay write the shit, but I don't allow them to write bullshit. I listen with a loving ear, that means I want you to be the shit and everything less just ain't civilized.
ThaFormula.com - I always tell people that I felt the biggest tragedy in hip-hop, was the day you got in that accident and lost your voice. Hip-hop was robbed of what would have been one of, if not the greatest MC of all time?
D.O.C. - Well god works in his own time and he works in mysterious ways, so it must have been meant for me not to say nothing for these ten years, but for some reason I feel like talkin' now. _So I'm ready to talk, and I can rap a little bit. It may not be what it once was but these words still sting pretty heavily. _Although the vocal power ain't what it once was, it's still a lot of power in this raspy voice I got.
