The D.O.C.
D.O.C.’s gotta be in there. You gotta remember with him, there really wasn’t a West Coast vibe around his era. He was from Texas [and] formed a group with artists who were from the West Coast, but his album just felt more universal. I think what we consider these days as the “West Coast” sound was more so like the G-Funk era.
Up until that point, everything that for the most part was coming out in terms of hip-hop was still different spins on it. It was like the East Coast sound was more rhymes and imitation and then D.O.C. kind of came out of nowhere, relatively unknown, from Houston, rapping the way he [did]. He’s definitely one of the greats. He put out one album and that one album still stands the test of time even to this day.
