"Interview with the legendary D.O.C. from the Marley Marl "In Control" Rap Show on 107.5 WBLS in New York City. This was sometime in 1989 around late August or early September, shortly after The D.O.C's debut album "No One Can Do it Better" was released. This was a fascinating interview that covered topics such as the D.O.C. being one of the first non-NY emcees to breakthrough in NY, gang culture in Los Angeles, N.W.A., and the D.O.C. expressing interest in meeting a certain female MC from NYC.

"With the 2015 release of the film Straight Outta Compton, we at Real Gone Music figured it was about time somebody revisited one of the landmark albums of West Coast rap, The D.O.C.’s No One Can Do It Better. The D.O.C. a.k.a. Tracy Lynn Curry was a behind-the-scenes contributor to some of the biggest and most hallowed rap releases ever, including Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, NWA’s Straight Outta Compton, Eazy-E’s Eazy-Duz-It, and Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle, and his Dr. Dre-produced debut record lived up to the braggadocio of its title by going platinum, spawning the #1 rap singles “It’s Funky Enough” and “The D.O.C. & The Doctor,” and being hailed by critics nationwide as one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever recorded.
However, there has never been an updated reissue of the original 1989 CD, which, like most releases of the early CD era, doesn’t really do the music sonic justice. Real Gone Music’s Expanded Edition of this classic album adds seven impossible-to-find 12” single mixes to a remastered version of the original release, along with liner notes by Aaron Kannowski that feature quotes from The D.O.C. himself. No one really could do it better than The D.O.C.—now here’s a better (and longer…75 minutes!) edition of his career-making classic." - Real Gone Music US
