Johnny J is the greatest producer of all time

[Mietek23]

dunno about all time but He was definately the best producer for Pac.

Tru dat.

[you gon always be my latin queen bitch]

for real
now that you mentioned it who do you think is better?

People go a little overboard sometimes. He collaborated with Pac on some classic tracks but greatest of all-time?

[JayfromTheBay]

in my opinion Big Stretch was a better producer than Johnny J.   i'm not even going to bring up Dre or Premo or RZA



Stretch produced:

-Pain
-Life's So Hard (OG)
-Bury me a G
-Only Fear of Death
-God Bless the Dead
-Under Pressure
-Holler If You Hear Me  (Both versions)
-Stay True
-The Streetz R Death Row
-Crooked Ass Niggas
-Crooked Nigga 2 (og)
-Tha Luntic
-5 Deadly Venomz
-Hellrazor (og)
-Judgement Day
-Enemies with me (og)
-House of Pain (og)
-Nothing To Lose
-Danger Times
-Street fame  (thug life version)
-Strugglin
-Don't Fuck With a Killa (og)
-Thug 4 Life (og)
-Flex

not to mention he produced "Take it in blood" and "silent murder" for nas.  and all the Live Squad classic shit...




i happen to be a bigger fan of Pre-death row pac...granted i love makaveli era tracks and all eyez era, don't get me wrong. 


you can't fuck with the raw Stretch beats though.

those are all samples with drum loops. johnny j made real music. he would replay samples, add synths, basslines, had a good ear for puttin shit together. stretchs production was amateur compared to johnny j

a very good point

I think noone should use that "G.O.A.T." tittle but let's put it that way:


If 'Pac was the most influential rapper of all-time, then Johnny 'J' was the most underrated producer of all-time..


and LOL to dudes saying that Stretch or DJ Khalil are better than J - I like both of them but let's not be ridiculous.

2Pac would have still continued to work with Johnny J, just that he wasn't around that week. People seem to think that he had plans to stop working with Johnny J due to the Makaveli album credits

where was johnny j for one nation?


inquiring minds want to know

Firstly Johnny J was never signed to Death Row, and was primarily 2Pac's own producer from his earlier years (Since Thug Life through Big Syke) and after All Eyez On Me dropped and achieved multi-planinum success shortly after it's release and when people realized that it was Johnny J and who produced almost half of the entire double disc album, he was getting phone calls requesting work. He had worked heavily with 2Pac in such a short period of time, he took time off, and was producing other acts at a more relaxed pace at a time when 2Pac basically threw out an albums worth of material in days. He was also after a different, darker sound, and Makaveli was originally intended as a street release with no big budget, so lesser known in-house producers such as Tyrone Wrice, Daryl Harper etc. were more appropriate for that reason alone. Daz wasn't even on there although he was around at the time.

& One Nation wasn't even fully completed, but best believe that after that was completed, he would have worked more with Johnny J & QD3, and I believe QD3 would have been apart of the Non-Stop Productions thing 2Pac was trying to create since he was engaged to his sister, and had already formed a working relationship with him.

2Pac wanted to step back, and had a few movie roles lined up for 1997, and only release albums now and again, and who better to produce than someone with the portfolio containing the likes of:

Life Goes On
All About U
Hit em' Up
Pour Out a Little Liquor
How Do You Want It

well if Stretch was available I'd prefer the man who produced Pain, Bury me a G, Only Fear of Death, Under Pressure, Holler If You Hear Me, God Bless the Dead etc.


that hardcore Pac shit

QD3 is the greatest of all time.
