    Lil Wayne said In like 2015 or something that him and dre have recorded over 70 songs together. Has a Wayne/dre song ever even been released? And that’s just Wayne /dre. Couldn’t imagine all the songs dre actually has.

    THE D.O.C. WAS ACTUALLY PULLED OVER BY BEVERLY HILLS POLICE BEFORE NEAR-FATAL CAR CRASH - BUT THEY LET HIM GO



    After leaving a party one night in Los Angeles, The D.O.C. was admittedly “high as a kite” when he eventually fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into the side of the freeway. Without the aid of a seatbelt, he flew out of the rear window and slammed face-first into a tree. His injuries required 21 hours of plastic surgery and over two weeks in the hospital. When he came to, he realized he couldn’t speak, a devastating feeling for anyone but especially a rapper who makes a living using their voice.

    The life-changing incident is one of many subjects The D.O.C. addresses in the forthcoming documentary The DOC, which he described as a very “cathartic” experience. Speaking to HipHopDXin a recent phone interview, the man born Tracy Lynn Curry looked back on that fateful night. What some people may not know is The D.O.C. had already been pulled over once by Beverly Hills police but when the officers realized who he was, they let him go despite the fact he was clearly intoxicated.

    “The night of the accident, it was like a 24-hour period where I had tried both cocaine and ecstasy,” he admitted. “And then it just quit working when I was driving home.” When asked if he wished the officers would have hauled him off to jail, he replied, “I did that for about 30 years. But here recently, I understand that those officers were just a part of that time. Had they taken me to jail, I wouldn’t be here where I am right now today. Now, I have insight into an understanding that allows me to help a lot of other people who are in that same space.”

    But it was a long, arduous road to get to that place. For years after the accident, he drowned himself in drugs and alcohol as he continued to write for N.W.A. He ultimately left Ruthless Records for Death Row Records where he’d go on to write for Dr. Dre. But when he had his now 17-year-old daughter Puma with Erykah Badu, that changed everything and soon, he was able to start loving himself again.

    I think he’s still planning an album — he alluded to something “really amazing that I’m working on” in the Big Boy interview. I’m not sure what else this could be given that he’s already mentioned the tour.

    The bad news — he mentioned a “three to four year” timeline. Hopefully, this timeline is album release + tour duration, and he’s planning to release the album before the tour. :emoji_fingers_crossed:

    If he did drop an album tomorrow he would have his first #1 album for sure with the Super Bowl hype.

    I'm praying for a Dre album tomorrow but I don't believe he would surprise drop.

    Compton was announced with somewhere between 6-10 days notice. So he likes the quick releases bit I don't think a surprise is like him. Unless he's really planning to ride the hype of the Super Bowl wave.

    You're half right. None of this would have happened without the divorce. I do believe that. But the music won't s---. Why would the music s--- because he has inspiration and fire again? Doesn't matter what caused the fire.

    In the interview, Dre said that everything revolves around the Super Bowl, which is the beginning of how it will continue in the future, so it's about more than just an appearance also about future projects
