In 1989 the D.O.C. was on the verge of becoming recognized as one of Hip Hop's preeminent emcee's among the likes of LL Cool J, KRS-1, and Rakim. But only a few short months after the release of his debut album "No One Can Do It Better" he was involved in a near fatal car crash that cost him his voice and self-esteem. However, with the love of Erykah Badu and their daughter Puma he has gained true knowledge of self. He talks about meeting Dr. Dre and being instrumental in helping N.W.A. usher in the era of Gangsta Rap.
