The D.O.C. Speaks: How much he wrote on The Chronic
18 January 2016 Fresh Radio
Asked about the breakthrough single, 1992’s “Nuthin’ But A ‘G’ Thang,” The D.O.C. told Vlad TV, “I knew [it was a hit] when we wrote the record. That’s why I told Snoop [Dogg] to put my name [in his verse]. I knew I was gonna [be in] that video! [Laughs]” The D.O.C. would be featured in Dre’s blue 1964 Chevrolet Impala in what would become one of Hip-Hop’s most iconic music videos. Snoop Doggy Dogg, then a fledgling artist, shouted out The D.O.C. and his album title in the verse. According to the song’s co-writer, it came from a request. “[I said], ‘Put my name right there!’ Dre hates that! [He complained], ‘Why you always got your name in the record?’ [Laughs] C’mon man, I gotta get in where I fit in.”
