[Intro]
Y'all ready for this
Rastafara Sonna Madda Fa
Drop the lyrics, a'ight

[Verse 1]
One, and here comes the two to the three and four
Then I drop the beat I have in store
Lay dynamics on the top like a rug
Make it sound smooth and later make a dub
Enunciate well, so that you can tell
I am not illiterate, no not even a little bit
Nothin' like an idiot, get it
You want the record, cool, I'm with it
Let the rhythm take you, shake it cause it makes you
As I turn the knob of the door you escape through
Go in like a knot, don't be a puff
And I let it play cause Dre's getting funky enough

[Hook]
It's funky, it's funky [X4]
Dre makes the beats so fun-fun-funky
It's gettin' funky, it's gettin' funky [X4]
Watch the smooth lyrics that take place

[Verse 2]
If you want another reason why it must be funky
Yo, I am not a jackass meanin' not a donkey
So I will play the game like it should be played
Drop the funk into the mix so the place will never fade
Ship it the the stations in your jurisdiction
Brothas say I'm dope, and the others say I'm bitchin'
No crowd can avoid the D-O to the C
When I'm P-E-R-F-O-R-M-I-N-G
On the stage, see the simple fact is I am dope
And known, I rock a funky beat without a cord so
It is my conclusion you will enjoy the fusion
And I will ascend with the style I am using
Knowin' that it's tough and it's not a bluff
I think I'll let it play cause Dre's hittin' funky enough

[Hook]
Dre make the funky hip-hop music so check it

[Verse 3]
Listen to the kick, drop in with the click
And with no rehearses I'm dropping funky verses
Stupid with the bit that you think you are relying on
You love it when it rattles is the fact that I'm buying on
Suckers never come close cause of knowing
There is no stopping the D.O.C. when I'm flowin'
But in the event that someone will try and juice this
Stop him in his tracks, show him that I am Ruthless
I don't give a damn, don't think that I am jokin'
Cause I don't think he is funny when you're messing with my money
Yo people tell me this, yo Dre you must stop him
But with no frills, so I just drop him
Continue with the rhyme and make sure I get mine
With no static cause that's all I need to get my nine, but
Lessons have been learned now all kidding have been fronting
Let it play when the people say, Dre yo you're getting funky enough

[Hook]
Deal with the D-O to the C

[Verse 4]
I need a break so I can check around
See who the hell who is sittin' down
I want all chairs off the floor
And if he stands to the wall, show him the door
And the PK nothing giving you something to rock to
To go nonstop to, not have to look at the clock you
Percieve, but can't believe you're being taken
By a beat so cool you start shaking
And shivering, cause I'm delivering the answer
Haven't seen you're a hellified dancer
You tried sittin' but it just won't work
Cause the beat is so fresh
Don't even tell it won't be funky enough

[Hook]
And with the help of the Dr. Dre, kick it

[Outro]
It's getting funky on the mix now, right
It's getting funky on the mix now, right
It's getting funky on the mix now, right
It's getting funky on the mix now
Put it in the needle, and drop it on the one, boy
 
He's from Dallas.

He is one of the driving force that helped Texas get into the hip hop scene.
 
One of the dopest rappers ever to grace the microphone.
One of Hip Hop's true treasures, and a groundbreaking, still unequaled album.

yes and people never give him props for his ghostwriting. I think he's the first name i can recall being mentioned in rap as a ghostwriter.

Yes people know he wrote a lot for Dre, but he also wrote for eazy e and Snoop. It's been said that in Snoop's early days, snoop would write and freestyle songs, but it was D.O.C who really coached him into making better and complete songs.


just how NBA teams hire cats like Hakeem and Ewing to coach cats like Howard, some record labels should really consider hiring cats like d.o.c to help coach artist, at least for a few months. I would love to hear G'Thang without Doc's contributions to dre and snoop. snoop reportedly wrote most of his verse but they say doc coached the hell out of him and helped put a lot of pieces together.

In last week's print edition, we ran a piece by noted hip-hop scribe/LA Weekly music editor/longtime Observer contributor Ben Westhoff that plays catch-up The D.O.C., perhaps Dallas' greatest hip-hop export -- and greatest hip-hop curio -- of all-time. It was a great piece, one that offered great insight into the rappers world. Rightfully so, it turned a lot of heads in the hip-hop world.

And why not? In it, The D.O.C. talked on a variety of topics: His own, largely failed, efforts to become one of the greatest rappers of all-time; the difficulty of coming to terms with the fact that he lost his voice during a drug- and alcohol-fueled car crash that happened late one night after a video shoot; his on-again-off-again relationship with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre; his claim that Dr. Dre's Detox, on which he is again collaborating, could be ready within six months; and, perhaps more interesting than all of that, his relationship with fellow Dallas luminary Erykah Badu.

Wrote Westhoff:
Badu's Dallas home is a "beautiful house right off of a really nice body of water," D.O.C. says of the singer's home overlooking White Rock Lake, while adding that he remains very much enchanted with her. In fact, he hopes to film a reality show before long about the goings-on in her house, ending with a wedding between him and Badu.
Our initial thoughts upon reading this reveal? Kind of sweet, if a little delusional, too. Seems we were right on, too: This morning, Paul Levatino, general manager of Badu's all-encompassing Badu World entity, released an "official response" to our article and The D.O.C.'s statements within it.


In short: While it's true that Badu and D.O.C. share a 7-year-old daughter named Puma, Badu is not interested in pursuing further romantic relations with The D.O.C., nor does she plan to participate in his planned reality show, I Got My Voice Back, beyond a rare guest appearance or two.

Below, read the entire statement from Levatino:
Erykah Badu and The D.O.C. share parental responsibilities for their daughter and their relationship as it regards that aim is very good. However, that is the full extent of their personal involvement and no romantic dynamic exists between the two. Moreover, Erykah has no plans to marry or have any sort of courtship with the D.O.C. Ms. Badu has no plans to allow a reality show to be filmed in her private Dallas residence or to include any of her children in the filming. Ms. Badu has no concrete plans further than a guest appearance in his reality show. The D.O.C.'s comments were either taken out of context, improperly interpreted, or reflective of his now, not-so-secret desires. Whatever the case, Erykah wishes D.O.C. well both spiritually and professionally.
Well, we're confident that we neither took his comments out of context nor improperly interpreted them... so I guess that leaves "reflective of his now, not-so-secret desires," in this case meaning his love for Badu, we think.
