Peace, Doc Doom was like a son to
me...
"When U Think Of Doc doom's Life On Earth, and all those
loving years;
Because you are only human, they are bound bring you
tears,
But do not be afraid to cry, it doesn't relieve the
pain;
Remember there would be no flowers unless there was some
rain,
I am sure that Doc Doom would tell you all that ALLAH
has planned;
But if
he was to tell you,
you probably wouldn't understand,
One
thing is certain, though Doc Doom's life on Earth is not
over;
Doc Doom is closer to you now, than he was before,
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills
to climb;
but together we can
do it by taking one day at a time,
It was always his philosophy, and I am sure Doc Doom
would like it for you too;
That as you give unto the world, the world will give
back to you,
If you can help
somebody who is in trouble or in pain;
Then
you can say to yourself at night "my day was not in
vain",
And now Doc Doom is
contented, that Doc's life was worthwhile;
knowing as he passed along the way, Doc Doom made
somebody smile,
So if you meet
somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand as
Doc Doom would to yourself.. "
- Popa Wu |

I want the fans to
remember him as a loving compassionate person, just
remember we all make mistakes, and that doesn't make you
exempt because your famous, remember the fun DeShawn,
the bright DeShawn, cherish and embrace those good
moments like when he tried to dive off the stage into
the crowd but no one caught him, that was funny. every
time you think about him a smile should come across your
face........

Doc doom was one of the founders of the Black
Knights and was a master at his craft, We didn't
meet over a bowl of soup, he was one of the big
homies from the click in the streets way before we
started the group.
All the times were memorable with Doc Doom, he was
off the chain but one of the most memorable moments
for me personally was the welcome home Doc Doom show
because that was the last time all the Black Knights
were on stage together. Knight In Peace.

Doc Doom
was a cool brother from my experience knowing him and
was a solid dude and passionate about his music. It's
definitely an unfortunate loss. Peace to his family and
loved ones, and I'll see you again my West side homie.

Doc Doom
was one of the realest brothers and an ill lyricist! He
will be missed!
One thing I remember about Doc Doom is that he always
loved a challenge! He never backed down!

When I
first came to Long Beach (back in '89), I was fascinated
by Doc Doom and S-Man Who used to be called Shawnie-D
and M.C. Pace. I grew up with the homies in Long Beach
and got to meet Monk and Crisis through Doc Doom in
1994. I stepped out of the fire to do spiritual work.
Came back and shit was the same except, they were all
Killa Beez now instead of just Nasty Doggs.
I was actually out at the movies with Monk when Doc
died. I feel he was my actual brother in all this. I
feel as an M.C. he would never be faded by the highest
commemorated in the industry because he felt it and held
on to his skill sun up, sun down! When he'd get up in
the morning, he'd be rapping or writing his lyrics.
R.I.P Doc Doom!

Rest in
peace to Doc Doom, and I want the world to know that he
was one of the greatest freestyle artist to come from
the West Coast. I remember once we were all in a
freestyle session and I remember him going on for like
2hours straight, we all just kind of set back and
listened and let me tell you we were all MCs there but when
someone gets in the zone you just got to listen and I'll
never forget that. I just wished we had it on tape, West
in Peace god, Ya boy, Legend!

An unfortunate loss,
Doc Doom was family. We were fam way before the Wu shit.
The first time I met Doc was when the Black Knights went
to the studio and did their first song ever... "He
was the most flamboyant Knight" ...
Rest In Peace.

Doc Doom rest in peace,
that’s my boy right there, to me he was the hottest on
the m.i.c, ever! He was the hardest on there. The haters
that did it are not going to have a good look, know what
I’m sayin? I went to my boy’s funeral and all that and
it hurt me a lot. I represent Doom every day, the Wu
shirt I had on in the picture of my 2nd album has rest
in peace Doc Doom in the middle.

3
years ago I was recording a song produced by Bronze
Nazareth with one of my favourite groups and allies,
almighty Black Knights called “Knights & Armour”. Crisis
and Monk had already laid down their verses and Doc was meant to record his in a couple of weeks around the
time he got back home from serving time. He was killed
before he got to lay his verse. Having done a number of
songs with The Knights, I never got the chance to meet
or work with Doc Doom unfortunately as i was also a fan
but it felt like I knew him personally through his songs
and connecting with the Knights.
Recorded a song in 2008 which ended up |
 |
| being
a tribute to Doc Doom. The song was a sequel to a track I have
been working on called "Floyd Part 3" and it featured
Black Knights (Monk & Crisis), Northstar, Warcloud and
Dexter Wiggle. May his soul rest in peace!

Yes I knew
Doc Doom (RIP) I remember the first time I started
recording in the studio with Crisis and Monk they had me
sing for him over the phone and it meant a lot to me
that he was feeling my style. To all the fans out there
Doc Doom is one of the greatest MC's I knew. it's such an
honour to have the opportunity to be apart of something
he was associated with. (RIP) Doc Doom gone but never
forgotten.

The first time I ever met Doc Doom was at the Wu
Tang Mansion in 2001 when I wasn't affiliated with
the Wu movement. He introduced himself to me, that
was the night I had a rhyme session with Holocaust.
When he was locked up that was when I got involved
with the West Coast Killa Beez. When he came out, we
were partying at the Black Knights show in Orange
County, we spoke for couple of minutes and took a
picture. |
 |
|
He was a really nice dude, told him I produced songs
for the
Black Knights and he wanted to hear my work.
Unfortunately a week later he passed away. My crew
and I attended his funeral to show our respect. Rest
in peace Doc Doom. Knights or nothing!

I’ve known Doc Doom since I was a young’n before the
rap game. He was an older homie from the clique. A
mastermind on and off the mic, a real one.

From my understanding Doc Doom was the fountain from which all other West Coast Killa Beez have sprung, he was a supporter of true Hip-Hop.

Rest In

forever, word is bond!
I had the
honour to meet Doc Doom a few times and dude had so much
charisma and his raw flow is artistic street poetry..
truly a hip hop legend

Yo, I have
to say being affiliated with Wu, Doc Doom was a true
general and I hope that everyone shows love to him. Doc
Doom, that name goes with my favourite super villain as
a child.. but in adult hood Doc Doom the hero.

I knew Doc Doom before the
rap shit as well as on the streets, we were both from
the same click and Doc was one of the big homies that was
active so all the young homies like myself, Crisis,
Arsonist and so on could do nothing but look up to up to
him because he was with the business. Doc had a dream
that we were on stage with Method Man right about when
Wu came out and Method Man dropped his album and was
all over the place, after that dream he came to us and
said "we need to start a rap group", his dream was real
because Wu-Tang Clan is the camp that we all ended up
signing to. Doc Doom was the West Coast's finest.
My favourite moments of
Doc Doom was on a tour with the Clan and
Doc got into a debate with Method Man on how the Black
Knights were the best, Period! Meth asked him if he
meant the Knights could serve the Clan members and Doc
said Yes! We all spat darts for Meth, and that's where
it ended, there were no battles but Meth respected the
attitude, the flow and the courage we had that we
couldn't be defeated by anybody.

He was a

creativity and dreams. Doc Doom will forever be missed

his son in your prayers, Thanks.

him and his fam. why do the good always have to go
early?
