This album was soem dope ish, the d.o.c's few verses sounded supprisingly good. However the real star of the album is DFW native 6Two who is featured on "xxplosive" [...] from dr. dre's 2001 album. 6two rips this album stealing every song he's on, in fact half the songs are 6two by himself with no guests. I don't know why 6two isn't bigger or why he doesn't have a solo out cuz he definatly deserves it, his laid back gangsta flow is one of the coldest in the south. If you don't have this album you need to get it the beats are tight, and guests include dre dre(beats and rhymes), ice cube, mc ren, snoop dog, nate dogg, jazzy pha,mc breed, and d.o.c.s' new silverback artists. All the guest come correct but 6two still steals the album(and i'm not just dic ridin'). Check out his ish on 2001 and then buy this album. And if you know where the 6two solo is holla back

The DOC reps Texas but he is much more West Coast than Dirty South. This is because he was discovered by Dr. Dre and was an unofficial member of NWA. DOC no longer raps much because he damaged his vocal cords in a near fatal car accident, but his crew carries the album. Six-Two, who also appeared on two tracks on Dr. Dre's 2001 album, has the most air time on Deuce. And he really shines. I can't wait until he drops a solo. Dr. Dre and Jazze Pha provide much of the production and old NWA partners Ice Cube and MC Ren as well as former Death Row lablemates Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg make appearances. The albums weaknesses include too many skits and a few filler tracks at the end of the album. But if you are a fan of old school West Coast gangsta rap reminicent of The Chronic, Straight Outta Compton, and Death Certificate, then this is an album you must have.

I was disappointed without the full presence of D.O.C. on this album. On your own albums you are supposed to be the one in the spotlight. Not with this album, D.O.C. has less than 5 minutes of mic time on the whole album. I think he could back in the scene if he went all out and had a true follow up to Helter Skelter. PUT OUT A REAL SOLO. PLLLEEAAASEEEE!!!!

There is no doubt that DOC hasn't lost it! His voice may have changed, but the gravelly edge adds a lot to the words he uses. It sounds more hard-core than most other rappers bcuz when you hear him you know that his life hasn't been easy. He's been hit hard, but he's still going STRONG! This album should've hit the charts in a HUGE way, but it didn't get the promotion that it deserved. 6'2" helps to make this album really clean! He is one of the most underrated rappers out there today! If you haven't heard this guy, you're MISSING OUT!!!

The rap game right now suffers from lack of substance, and it's my belief that only 2 lyricists have the content and vocabulary to redeem the low-level lyrical rut that rap is in: KRS-1 and the D.O.C. If you hear this CD you'll know exactly what I mean. The DOC via 6-Deuce, keeps the content fresh, inspired and yet somehow manages to remain hardcore. There's a cinematic feel to the whole piece that I think was intendid to encapsulate the dramatic mood of the D.O.C. If rap is poetry serving the self-expressive mood of the artist, then the DOC is one of our finest poets -- keeping hip-hop as a testament of the ghetto both inside and outside the person.

...and then it's just plain FUNKY with certain tracks that aren't meant to be mellodramatic -- but smooth. "The S***" features Cube, Ren and Snoop and is probably the funkiest track on the whole CD and admittedly for me evokes a bit of old school gangster nostalgia.

Beats sounding "dre inspired" but lacking his name credit are probably due to the DOC's close friendship and enormous respect for dre's talent.

This CD belongs in every hip-hop collection. I just hope Dre works more with the DOC on revolutionizing the lyrical direction of hip-hops future.
