A documentary about rap legend The D.O.C. is premiering this summer, and it promises a heavyweight cast of Hip Hop stars.
Directed by David Caplan, the aptly-titled The DOC chronicles the life and career of Tracy Lynn Curry, who rose to fame in the late ’80s and early ’90s as a platinum-selling rapper, songwriter for N.W.A, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E and others, and co-founder of Death Row Records.
More importantly, the film follows The D.O.C.’s inspirational journey following the devastating car crash that crushed his larynx and cut his promising solo career short, just months after the release of his 1989 chart-topping debut album No One Can Do It Better.
The documentary features a slew of all-star guests who reflect on the impact the Dallas, Texas native has made in their lives, with cameos coming from Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Xzibit, Too $hort, Kurupt, Daz Dillinger and more.
There’s also an appearance from his former partner Erykah Badu, with whom he shares a 17-year-old daughter, Puma Sabti Curry.
The DOC is set to premiere at the Beacon Theatre in New York City on June 10 as part of the 2022 Tribeca Festival. Additional screenings will be held at Cinépolis on June 11 and Village East by Angelika on June 18.
Following the world premiere screening will be a special birthday concert for The D.O.C. (who turns 54 on June 10) featuring performances by DJ Quik, Daz Dillinger, Kurupt and other surprise guests.

He only had one one album. After Eazy paid for his surgery he sold him out. Same tired story that’s been told over and again.
And Eazy was offering him $$ to write songs after he couldn’t rap anymore. He went to Death Row they never paid him for anything, never cared about him.
damm badu really been thru the whole industry huh
Hip-hop 4hever
Not interested D.O.C has been a bitter dude for about 30 years and blames everybody for his horrible choices.
Been over 10 years in the making and the whole „voice back“ news was a joke. That’s not a voice and he made poor choices with his treatment and was lazy when it comes to exercising for the voice. Only found out more than a decade after the accident that the vocal cords were not ruptured…what kinda dumb doctors did he see prior with all the resources he had in the early nineties. One of the best but damn
People can say what they want about his disloyalty To eazy but us fans don’t know the situation he was in. We don’t know what suge was going to do if he didn’t turn. Real easy for us to sit back and judge from our computer screen. Obviously he didn’t do to much bad crap if Dre still fucks with him.
Yes people will always have something to say even if they were not there. In regards to Eazy, I will just say this. Doc was and still is always loyal!!
Let’s those like me raised in Compton speak on it. Where was your lame ass at? You sound white wanna be black like KJnewman.
The Formula is THAT song!! Best Dre produced joint ever!!
Seriously, no one wants to see fxcking snoop dog.
No one definitely wants to know what you think.
