Legendary rapper & one of the pioneers of West Coast Gangsta Rap, The D.O.C. has reunited with longtime friend Dr. Dre. If you are not aware, D.O.C. and Dr. Dre had a nasty verbal altercation in 2009 over creative & financial differences resulting in a split of ways. In a new interview with Dallas Observer, he has revealed that he’s back with Dre working & writing on the Detox album for which he’s paid $20,000 a year. According to him, he’s helping Dre “get that core audience back, with those types of songs, and that California vibe from the Chronic album” and that he’s “He’s pretty f*cking close” to finishing the album, hinting at a period of about 6 months.
D.O.C. also tells that he’s living again with ex-lover Erykah Badu in Dallas with their 7 year old daughter Puma, 3-year-old brother Seven, whose father is OutKast’s Andre 3000, and 2-year-old sister Mars, whose father is Jay Electronica.
