Since its inception in 2002, the Tribeca Film Festival has become one of the most important platforms for film/filmmakers on the globe.
This year the film in particular that took full advantage of the festival’s live consumer attendees and huge media contingency had to have been the story of recording artist Tracy Curry through the eyes of debut director David Caplan. If you’re not in tune with the life and career trajectory of Tracy Curry, just note that he put the D.O.C in documentary. That style of storytelling was the best way to capture the surreal narrative of the recording artist that was The D.O.C.
The film picks up 30 years after the accident and says Caplan, “D.O.C. [the man] has held a certain mythos in the hip hop community. The greats—from Dr. Dre to Snoop Dogg to Jay-Z—speak his name in some of their biggest hits, yet his story has eluded the general public, myself included, for decades. I had heard about the crash, but that was only the tip of the iceberg.
Adding to the allure of the film was the announcement that Erykah Badu will serve as executive producer on the documentary. Badu who shares a daughter—17-year-old Puma Curry—with The D.O.C. offered, “I am excited to announce that I am coming on board as executive producer of ‘THE D.O.C.’ which recently had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. It is no secret that D.O.C.
In a recent interview with HipHopDX, D.O.C. expressed his gratitude to Badu for her participation with, “I owe Erykah everything. I owe her everything. I mean, Erykah is a soulmate. She brought amazing energy to this film in a lot of ways. She was really in touch with us in a lot of ways behind the scenes and did a lot to help us push this thing forward,” he said. “Honestly, she’s the coolest person that I’ve ever spoken to, ever. I mean, she’s just got such a presence.
Following the world premiere screening at the Beacon Theatre the D.O.C celebrated his 54th birthday by bringing along a powerhouse lineup of rappers that he influenced
