The Ballin Podcast

THE D.O.C. (Episode 1)

Go Mack & LayLaw Season 1 Episode 1

The D.O.C. collaborated with gangsta rap group N.W.A–where he co-wrote many of their releases–as well as Eazy-E's solo debut album Eazy-Duz-It.  He was one of the founders of Death Row Records along with Dr. Dre and Suge Knight.

In 1989, he released his debut album, No One Can Do It Better, which reached number-one on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart for two weeks and spawned two number one hits on the Hot Rap Songs chart: "It's Funky Enough" and "The D.O.C. & The Doctor". The album went platinum five years after its release. In late 1989, months after the release of No One Can Do It Better, The D.O.C. suffered a serious car crash that resulted in the crushing of his larynx, permanently changing his voice.

After the crash that changed the direction of his musical career D.O.C. experienced a depressing period in his life. It wasn't until he began dating Erykah Badu that he was able to find direction and guidance in his life again--all thanks given to Erykah Badu. Their relationship resulted in the birth of his daughter Puma and a friendship and spiritual bond between Erykah Badu and himself that still stands to this day.

The D.O.C. is still considered one of the greatest MCs of all time, his album garnered the coveted 5 mic award and Dr. Dre still relies on D.O.C for. musical input. It is safe to say D.O.C. is still  Ballin. Tune in to the Ballin Podcast to get the full scoop.

Right? Right. I told you God is a black woman. Right? Right. Yes, sir. And she expressed her divine energy through that feed me or into me for me to, I can understand who I was like, wow, I'm talking. And I'm talking to the reason I could sit there with these Gators with a thousand d ollar alligator boots, t he t ail o n t hem, k eeping in t h e m ind and the inner strong or kn owing who I am.

Speaker 1:

[inaudible] everything. Look.

Speaker 2:

[inaudible] 20,000 people, right? You didn't hit your numbers.[inaudible] the middle in the middle of, in the middle of our series games, easy punk t o run over, g rab the money and run off t he with rapid pick up money back in the middle of the ga me, I'l l wa lk over to easy. Take the money out of his hand in the middle of the state. He's still rapping and. I be wi th us, man. This is real over her e. See wha t y'all doing? The dice game, that, every night, every night, every night they threw money on stage and they threw on stage. Every night was a li ttle bit more, all that. It's throwing money on stage becau se I re m e m ber ever y night, come on down real nice game. It wa sn't no plan. It's just one day we just said, that doc, w hen they h it, t hey get in the middle of the show.[inaudi ble] can't we can't tell him what th e pic t ure of the internet with me and you're g amblin g on stage.

Speaker 1:

I got it. I got it on my pies and they got, I took it off the end of that so I could keep it in the back. I had the brand new Jordans when they was out there just to Brandon, you know, a doc at first Jordan suit on ever in everything and the enough.

Speaker 4:

It wasn't, it wasn't a Britain at that time, they was trying to figure it out. Dig that I remember telling him to stop SWAT me,. That was not no sauce. So dope.

Speaker 1:

I went straight to foot locker.

Speaker 4:

You had on black khakis. And like we said, every[inaudible] every episode we want somebody to, uh, to find somebody using the word balling before brother-in-law put it in the game. It's the vernacular that we brought to the guy I wrote the song. You know what I'm saying? Go wrote the song bar on the car, wash Florida. You know what I'm saying? I'm average back then because it was Barclays. vernacular was, w e w as b alling m an, e specially

Speaker 1:

I guess the whole thing was about those words. That's why I was into your. Cause when I come around and you say, like

Speaker 4:

I think I forgot to up all al l y o u t hink about going an d g o ing o u t t h ere l ike yo mo ms, I gotta go get this number one,. I'm go ing g o get it. Let me get that go.

Speaker 1:

I know we passed our question and where I got a question after you went through all these divine interactions and through life, you feel me, u h, w ith something you just at this age and stage will not with period. Don't feed negativity. If you are, th ere's n othing. If you are at one with yourself, there's nothing anybody on the outside of y ou can do that can disturb you on a b u bble. Ge t m e m a d. So if you are, yo u'll g e t m e w h ere i f you can be in a room by yourself for 24 hours and get mad and then you're in bad company. An d s o my thing is, u h, a t the, at this stage in the game, we are collectively trying to find ourselves and put ourselves back in t h e f orm, back into greatness. And so I don't feed negativity. If yo u, if yo u o n t hat, then, then that's fine, but I'm not going to allow it over in this space. I'm trying to in this space

Speaker 4:

You want, you want to let them know anything that you bought too, that they should be on the look out for you guys. Some shakes projects. You want them to speak on anything like, look, this will just surprise them. Or you just want to speak on something.

Speaker 1:

The world itself, the planet, the planet is going through a change and the change is dynamic. And if you are unaware, then let me see if I can help you be aware. The, the fact that there's, uh, volcanoes, erupting, every got down with earthquakes ever got d own where t his i s the earth telling you t he b ell, I'm going through some. I'm going t o a dynamic change w here I'm going. You can't know because, u h, she didn't tell y ou, but we are h er. We are the planet. So we need to make the same changes she's making otherwise. When she get to where she's going, w e're not going to be able to coexist with her. And I mean, so from my perspective, i t's going back to where it was. The power b ase i s shifting back to what it once was. And if you are aware enough to understand it, then you're going to. W hen I met a f riend, I was talking to Erica a couple of days ago about dual citizenship, about, about us being, u h, citizens of Ghana. E verybody i s g oing to be Atlanta.

Speaker 2:

I mean, that's, that's what everybody doing, right? That's what everybody let them have a. Y'all want this. Y'all want to make it great again,

Speaker 1:

They can't have a thing b ecause it wasn't theirs in the first place. B ut what we are going to do is w e're going to put ourselves back in a position of power. W e're g oing t o understand we're going to teach our children economic power because t hat's, that's all they m issing.

Speaker 2:

And if you don't make your kids better than you your life up,

Speaker 1:

We've been raising a bunch of employees.

Speaker 2:

The very least you can just start raising your kids. Don't go through the that you a in't g ot a c urve s erver. They ain't g ot t o do the that you did. Yo u j ust saying we've been raised in th e, what

Speaker 1:

We've been raising employees is time for us to raise owners like this, the same content, the same kind of content that you're making. You're going to give it to a word and the word is going to go get it. Why not own it and distribute it and do it yourself. Charge. It's this simple. Now this idea I got watching Instagram the other day, I was watching this kid called brother Ben X. He reminded me of Farah Khan when he talked with he's a young kid and he's talking and I was like, wow, this kid is really cool. And then I flipped down a little further and it's a girl doing news and it's relevant news, but she has sort of a committee twist or a thing. And it's entertaining. And she's got on a thousand brother, Ben at Scott on at 50,000. And then I flipped it on down. It's another black a nd he's talking about sports and it crossed my mind that if you a dd 20 of those people and all those people got a hundred, 2000 people, you got a million, 2 million people that are instantly into t he, into your art. If you string together 24 hours, y ou got t o television show. Now, if you take that idea and you, what did t hey call it? You get a, u h, a prescription for, u h,$2 a month, right? Then you got$3 million coming in every month, right? You take a million of that money, but it back into the content and take t hat other money and build on the idea of what's building on. So there's, T elemundo's, there's a thousand of those t hat the Chinese people got T V stations and ain't got. Se e t h at i t's g o ne, bu t h ere's where the disconnects co me i n. You feel me? Because now everybody's turning into entrepreneurs. We're losing a lot of our executive level people, because everybody wants to be the talent. You feel me? Nobody's we don't have enough collective energy for all the parts to think. You just need to build the hub. Yes. Building, because it's all about they'll come the money, right? It's just money. Everybody want money. If, let me make, let me put it in layman's terms. If it was a Negro Walmart, okay. Um, the Negroes. But they, they content into the Negro. Walmart, a Negro. Walmart is the that s ells to the outside universe. T hey're going to do real business. You're not going to be able to undercut them, r ight? Because they are the hub. That means everybody that puts their into their until the black Walmart to the Negro. Walmart is g oing to get paid from the source or everybody get to eat. But the ownership stays within the creators. The Negro Walmart owns and the creators some, and it's distributed through the world to these other markets. Cause they got to come get it. You are the that make t his. You, o ther people that you move t he i n, you move the whole globe with what you do. Y our p op i s everywhere. We moved a s as real. You know what I mean? I just se nt h i m o ver. I was telling th e s i ster t o s e ll m y h ike ou t a movie, coming out with her an d i n the black girl, it's c alled bo ss. Right? It's called boss. Ri ght? That's a vernacular. That's four years old. We did that four years ago. They just catching up. They're going to read to s oup, sell it to us. You know what I mean? And we're going to buy it because they're selling it. Right. Right. But that's the old to you. Right. You already owned it. Right. But you gave it away free. They pac kaged it and resold and sold it back to you is my point. That's America. That's my point. That is America. What els e? What else? I ain't gonn a. W hat else? Than king the AAS.
