Johnny J to me is the most underrated hip hop producer ever this guy has about 50 if not 100 historical tracks with Pac I've always been super suspicious about his cause of death.
It's funny how Daz always claims he was that guy during Pac's AEOM, but Johnny J produced the biggest record on that album and also his only number 1 song ln the Billboard charts (How Do U Want It).

I went on a mini Pac binge a few weeks ago. Dude was so fuc*ing prolific.

People that say Tupac couldn't rap just weren't paying attention.

man, I was relistening "Until the end of Time" I had to

. I don't give a damn if it came out 20-plus years ago. I was like goddamn my nikka Pac spitting when this came on.

Daz had heat but how much of it was it just him? we all know Quik mixed most of the album and Daz always had Soopafly by his side…all respect to Daz tho

I Remember This From The Bootleg Makaveli Tapes lol

Dope Joint, Not Sure What Da Brat And The Fugees Ever Said lol


“Before I Leave Make Sure Everybody Heard And Know I Ment Ever Muthfukking Word”

:wow:

I'm guessing he got at Brat because she was down with Biggie and Bad Boy even though she was signed to So So Def. There's the song Brat and Big did called "Da B Side", and probably took some lines as shots as at him specifically Big saying "If you fukk with her you got to fukk with me
And we'll be rapping at your motherfukkin' eulogy, so"

Wyclef took shots in a Vibe article where he was critical of the whole Thug aspect of Hip Hop. Lauryn had lines all over The Score about it.

Pac had some scorched earth mentality as anyone with any kind of link could get it. Fugees were sneak dissing with some "East side is the best side" slick talk at an awards show plus Haitian Jack rolled with em. With Da Brat its apparently because she jacked a sample Pac had used for this:



The cued line about Rated R stands out as he's a Thug Life member and Pac was still messing with them when he recorded this:



Which has an unheard alt using the same sample which was like this remake:



Plus the Hit Em Up reference. Also Da Brat was all over Bad Boy remixes in that time so guilt by association in Pacs paranoid eyes. That and some behind the scenes beef with Left Eye not liking her and what she said in various interviews. Having her sister in Toss It Up had to have a meaning but who knows? So So Def was Bad Boy II in that respect as both took huge chunks of the Wests flex to create their sound and style.

Mans was just perpetually looking for someone, anyone to beef with over the minutest things. More often than not though there really was something there, just not enough to justify his over reaction.

Pac was an angry dude with a bad attitude.

I Was Trying To Google Some Reasons And For Da Brat All They Said Was What You Said “She Aligned Herself With Bad Boy” But I Feel Like Pac Saying “Tell The Brat To Keep Her Mouth Closed” Implies She Said Something, I Dunno

I Also Saw Wyclef Say That He THINKS Pac Dissed Them Cause Of His (Wyclefs) Friendship With Hatian Jack, But Honestly I Don’t Even Think Pac Was THAT Aware Of Who Wyclef Was

Plus He Singled Out Lauryn “Look bytch I’ll Cut Ya Face This Ain’t No Muthafukkin Movie” Pac Dismisses Clef And Pras As “The Other 2” So I Don’t Think It Had To Do With Wyclef So I Think He’s Wrong There. Just My Opinion

Lauryn Hill's lyrics from "Ready Or Not":

Believe me, fronting nikkas give me heebie-jeebies (Ha)
So while you imitating Al Capone
I'll be Nina Simone and defecating on your microphone---- Lauryn Hill

He's the kind of G like everybody knows
As a young nikka
He's always G'd up, from head to toe
My memories as a young nikka
Always got it blown like Al Capone--- from Pac's "Young nikka"

Some say a lot of the Kobane beats he was on were originally Pacs but I don't know. They sound very Makavelish but not like 96 era.



This specific beat wasn't made while 2pac was alive. The OG version of this song maybe since it sounds like something 2pac would rap over



There are rumors that Tha Realest use unreleased 2pac lyrics for his own songs. Biggest example of it would be "They Wanna Be Like Us".

Johnny J and Pac created so many classics…RIP to both:mjcry:

It's crazy that Johnny J never found massive success after 2pac given he was part of a hip-hop classic.
