i'd rather hear a bunch of johnny j originals that we haven't heard
Johnny J's material past 2003 sucked. I heard the Napoleon album and one of the reasons I suspect they never put it out was because it was terrible. It was like a poorly constructed pop album with Napoleon coming with some of the weakest raps I had ever heard. I'm glad it remains buriedI have a great deal of respect for Johnny J and think he done some terrific work, but that rough raw signature sound that moulded perfectly with 2Pac during the 90's was lost in the 2000's. We over-exaggerate his talents. The reason for that is due to him being the man responsible for a large body of work when 2Pac seeked a beat maker capable of providing him with a quick skeleton to rap over so we kind of associate 2Pac with Johnny J, and those 2 as being one in the same for his Death Row work. To you or I, they sound good. I love the rough raw unpolished sound with the added guitar strings, but from a label point of view, there's no way they would put them out. I think this is where the likes of Daz, QD3 and Big-D were a lot better. Just look at Daz's (& Mike Deans) remix work in that period compared to the likes of Johnny J's and you'll see what I mean. Daz can still put out audibly sound material, whereas Johnny J's sounds too cheap and easy computer created
JMIX...Where did you get the instrumentals in your interviews? Third time asking please answer.
thanks for the leak Hack!
