4.0 out of 5 stars
Finally another album from the D.O.C., February 28, 2003
This review is from: Deuce (Audio CD)
After hearing Helter Skelter, I didn't know what to expect when I purchased this album. The D.O.C. could have been arguably the greatest lyricist of all time if it wasn't for his tragedic accident that in the end he lost his voice. I gave it 4 stars because all the songs were good, but the D.O.C. himself didn't rap that much if anything at all and the two songs featuring Dr. Dre, "Judgement Day" and "Gorilla Pimpin" he didn't even spit out any verses. Overall a great cd and hopefully the new generation of rap fans will reconize the d.o.c. and realize that he is without a shadow of a doubt, a true rap legend.

Finally Dallas Representin.....4 1/2 stars, August 12, 2003
This review is from: Deuce (Audio CD)
The greatest rapper ever from Dallas Texas is The DOC. He is a legend. If you ever liked West Coast rap you owe the DOC almost as much as you owe Dr. Dre. Dre was the sound, the DOC was the voice. His writing skillz are attached to so many west coast classics it ain't even funny. His own lyrical talent, one of the greatest ever, was tragically cut short when his vocal cords were damaged in a car accident back in 1989. After a failed comeback CD in the mid nineties the diggy diggy DOC has dropped another CD entitled "Deuce". This CD dropped earlier this year and unfortunately was slept on. MAN THIS CD IS BANGIN! First of all the title, "Deuce" is a reference to an up and coming crew of Dallas rappers, particularly one called 6Two, who made his debut appearance on the Chronic 2001 classic "Xxplosive". DOC writes all over this CD but it's 6two and the other cats from the Silverback family that vocalizes the vision. The CD starts off with 2 interludes, one abt the music business, and another reintroducing THE DOC to the world reppin Dallas. The first cut is "Concrete Jungle", a hype head bobber featuring Nate Dogg...Nice! Jazzy Pha dropped a nice track on this cut. After another interlude comes "The Sh..", a beautiful reunion cut with MC Ren, Ice Cube, and Snoop. On fire! "What Would You do" is a nice West Coast murda muzik type cut with a DFW connection from 6two and U P T I G H T. "Gorilla Pympin" is a Dre influenced cut with a sample of the 70's classic "Do It". Track 9 "Judgment Day" is a Dre produced cut that straight west coast, all the way down to the police sirens. Track 11 "Ghetto Blues" is a tight track, preceded by an acoustic interlude done by the DOC himself. Real smooth laid out anthem on predestination in da hood. Great cut. Track 12 "All in The Family" features N'Dambi and actually I'm not feelin this cut much. Track 13 "Critical Condition" is a tight millennium version of "Portrait of a Masterpiece" from the DOC classic "No One Can Do It Better". U P T I G H T handles the vocal pace on this cut like an Iverson crossover. "Mentally Disturbed" is another good cut from the CD, pretty much a 6Two coming out party. Organized Noize drops their work on "DFW" a tight crew jam reppin the South and warning everybody to get out the way. Track 18 "Simple As That" features a hook that starts off "Starched down Dickies and a Grambling hat"...Damn... If that ain't DFdub I don't know what is. The track is tight though! Before Snoop raps the CD up you have "Playboy", a tight quiet storm/jazz oasis cut. Nice...Man it's only 1 cut on this CD I wasn't feelin. Excellently done. While the DOC can't flow anymore with the greats, his protégé's and Allstar lineup do their best to pick up the slack and prove the West Coast ain't nothin without the DOC, while at the same time reppin Dtown to the fullest...........

D.O.C. Welcome Back, July 17, 2003
This review is from: Deuce (Audio CD)
I'm glad The D.O.C finally got a new album out. I got his two past realeases and was impressed and was happy when I found out another one was coming out. If the car accident wouldn't happened DOC would probarly be one of the dopest rappers out. This ain't as good as No One Can Do It Better but it's great. Won't mention highlights since they're mostly great. Westcoast music at it's best. Respect to all the rappers who was involved with this project and helped and supported DOC to realease this. It ain't over yet! DOC 4 ever.
