but this album was released WAY BACK in 89. So Naturally some of the beats sound off and downright wack compared to today's beats. But it does have some classic songs such as The Formula, The magnificent Grand Finale which sports a great beat and features NWA members on it. Eazy E rips this piece up. Its Funky enough, and Lend Me an Ear are some tight songs also. Let The Bass Go and Whirlwind Pyramid i was vibin with too. I absolutely loved the Comm. Blues skit. The lady singing on that was off the chizain; I rewinded that one quickly.

The other songs I aint really feeling because the beats are TOO old school for me. However if you like NWA period or any of their albums go head and pick this up too cus it sounds most similar to that stuff.

ONE OF THE FORGOTTEN HIP-HOP CLASSICS
The beats and music are so ecletic and sometimes sound incomparable; it ranges from reggae to rock, from soul to funk. And the lyrics...? His lyrical skill and delivery is top-notch; there is something about his high-pitched tone that is so intriguing. The hottest songs on this CD are "Funky Enough", "Mind Blowin'", the rock-meets-rap-flavored "Beautiful But Deadly" (The guitars are terrific!), the title track, "Portrait of a Masterpiece"--a two-minute blitzkrieg of beats and rhymes in which he hilariously pauses to catch his breath and raps his fastest, and of course, the last song - "The Grand Finale" - in which his comrades N.W.A. join in the fun. And the interludes are ingenious and hilarious, one in which Dr. Dre curses at the listener to turn the tape to side two (Yes, it is in the CD). It's witty, it's light-hearted, it's fun and it is so masterful that it is hard to believe that in this day and age, when people talk about the classic hip-hop albums, NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER is often left out. Perhaps it is mainly due to the ending of such a promising career when a near-fatal car accident permanently damaged the D.O.C.'s vocal chords, only leaving people to wonder what could have been. But that is hardly an excuse.

THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME??
The DOC No One Can Do it Better is one of the best rap albums of all time..easily a top 10..All the songs and beats on the album are dope and the DOC rips the mic like no other. He was definitely a natural..The beats on this album are by Dre and they are some of his bests. the Formula is my favorite..
To me No One Can Do it Better is a better first album than any of the other deceased mc's..including ready to die..does that mean the DOC woulda been the greatest? Who knows but I think he wouldve shown he's better than Biggie or Pac..

A Great Lost Album
This album is hot! This was made in the when N.W.A. was at the top of its game, and Dr. Dre produced another great one. This record starts off with the standout track, "It's Funky Enough." The D.O.C. really rips up the mic here over a great beat. "Mind Blowin'" is another great one. Throughout the whole album, DOC just cruises through the tracks, making it seem so easy. "The Formula" is my favorite song on here, and is nice and laid back. "Beautiful but Deadly" is a rock-like record that makes for a very interesting shake-up from the rest of the songs. I like every track on here, except "Lend Me an Ear," which is still better than a lot of songs today. "Grand Finale" is another gem that features the whole N.W.A. crew. Overall, a great album with radio friendly hits. The D.O.C. could've easily become one of the greatest M.C.'s we've ever witnessed if it wasn't for the car accident that permenantly damaged his vocal chords. This isn't as good beat wise as "The Chronic" or "Doggystyle" but the amazing lyrics make it easy for me to give it 5 out of 5 stars. I definitely recommend this album to any old school fan of hip-hop.

Another bright spot for the West Coast!!!
The D.O.C. was a great talent in his prime, until an unfortunate car accident forver altered his once commanding voice. After the release of the phenomenal Straight Outta Compton album from N.W.A., The D.O.C. hooked up with Dre again to produce this classic. DOC was at his true form on this album, choosing to focus on rocking rough rhymes instead the gangsta attitude that N.W.A. displayed. And what resulted was one fine hip hop album. Here's the review:

Album Highlights: It's Funky Enough, Whirlwind Pyramind, The Formula, The Grand Finale(w/N.W.A.), The D.O.C. and The Doctor, and Lend Me An Ear.

Production: Thumbs up, more classic production by Dr.Dre.

Lyrics and Subject Matter: Thumbs up.

Originality: Thumbs Up.

The Last Word: The D.O.C. reigned supreme with this release. Although challenged by Ice Cube, The D.O.C., around the time in 89 when this was released, was a force to reckoned with, ALMOST ahead of his time in a way. Overall, the album is tremendous in every sense of the word, as it truly defines the West coast sound in all of its glory. Strongly recommended.
