Death Row co-founder Dick Griffey once called the D.O.C. "probably the single most influential person in gangsta rap." I spoke to the West Coast legend about growing up in West Dallas, writing "We Want Eazy" in 20 minutes, the crash that stole his voice, the secret origins of Death Row, piecing together "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" with Snoop, trading insults with ’Pac in Atlanta, and receiving a Hip Hop Grandmaster Award this weekend from the Paid in Full Foundation. powmag.net/p/the-doc-intervi…

No One Did It Better Than The D.O.C.

The West Coast (by way of Dallas) legend, who will be honored by the Paid In Full Foundation this weekend in Las Vegas, reflects on a storied career.

Hov didn’t come to LA alone 🐐 Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg hit the SoFi stage for the JAY-Z30 finale and ran through the West Coast anthems like it was nothing. Y’all think any finale tops this one?

So here's the debate: If you could only keep ONE album from 1996, which one makes the cut? Defend your pick in the comments. #TheHipHopMuseum
