This week on Outside the Lines With Rap Genius, we talk to the noted producer and rapper Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie about his wide-ranging career
Deric is best-known for his work with the production team The Hitmen, Bad Boy’s in-house producers who created the sound that took over the world in the mid-90’s. Deric produced hits like “All About the Benjamins,” “Hypnotize,” “Where I’m From,” and more. He also served as Bad Boy’s comic outlet with his skits and verses as The Mad Rapper
But before all that, Deric was rapping under the name D.O.P. in a fantastic duo called Two Kings in a Cipher. They released one album in 1991, and you can check it out on RG
Enjoy our wide-ranging conversation with Deric, where he tells us about the Bad Boy glory years, coaching Jay-Z and Eminem, the birth of the Mad Rapper, why Kool Herc IS NOT the father of hip-hop, and tons more!
As always, you can find Outside the Lines With Rap Genius on iTunes, at liberated syndication, via the player on our Facebook page, or you can just listen below. Thanks to Three Egg Studios for all their help with this podcast. Also make sure to check out Deric’s verified RG account
