5.0 out of 5 stars Should be recognized as a classic comeback by a hip-hop hero, May 24, 2004

This review is from: Helter Skelter (Audio CD)

"Helter Skelter" got trashed by most critics when it was first released, but I always knew that it was something special. You'll never hear anything like this. Ever. D.O.C. was considered by many to be a contender for the title of "Greatest MC of All Time" after his debut album "No One Can Do It Better." Everything changed when a tragic auto accident damaged his vocal chords. Most, probably even the D.O.C. himself, thought that his career was over. In 1996 he came back with "Helter Skelter," an album about friendships torn apart by greed and the end of the world, fueled by paranoia and world-weariness. The D.O.C.'s voice now sounds like a creature from a horror movie, but that only adds to the effectiveness of the ominous theme. It was a brave thing D.O.C. did when he returned to music. He could've given up long ago(who would blame him?) or embarrassed himself with a weak album. D.O.C.'s refusal to give up make this album a sadly ignored triumph of the spirit.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my top 5 favorite albums, November 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Helter Skelter (Audio CD)

I can listen to this album over and over again. His voice after his accident sounds very scratchy and it makes for an excellent, unique listening experience. "Secret Plan" is my favorite song on the album which The D.O.C. wrote after reading "Behold the Pale Horse" by William Cooper, which is a song about the world behind the scenes and what is really going on. A lot of the album revolves around 2 things. 1.) How it was when he first started in the rap business and 2.) Illuminati type government and world conspiracies. I think this album is great and I would recommend it to anyone and wants to stray away from the "bling bling" mainstream rap that is out today or anyone who is looking to enlighten themselves. I have had this album for almost 5 years now and it still gets heavy rotation in my rap collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars The D.O.C is G.O.D., September 29, 2002

This review is from: Helter Skelter (Audio CD)

the d.o.c's voice may be a bit rough but ive heard other rappers sound virtually the same, and they're just putting on that voice.
If you know how important a role d.o.c played in the west coast scene people would give him loads more props, eg all Dre's raps on the first chronic are written by the DOC..anyway on to the album. DOC flows are just to tight, no one these days has his timing, imagination and raw flow. DOC says his own story on some of the tracks about how he didn't get half the due's he deserved and just his history with NWA, DRE etc, the rest is some post apocaliptic with some mad deep lyrix. Erotic D is a phatt producer to, with some far out and eerie west coast style sounds. If you persever with this album and listen hard to the DOC you will be rewarded.
