Post by: Devon (BP) on May 27, 2003, 08:32:28 AM: Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't he the idividual who fought a legal battle which cost Death Row a lot of money during 97-98 which forced them to consider releasing "The Vault" a 4 disc collection? He claimed to produce the tracks for old classics and believe he lost the battle. Then went on (either kicked out or left?) to start his own label where his rhymes were just plain and simple and ovbiously lost the touch he had with Death Row. Anyways didnt he quit about two years ago? I mean quit altogether. These are past rumours I've put together to answer the question as best as possible so please dont hate on this post.

no... dubcnn isnt even a year old yet.. this was a few years ago at least on some non-rap site.
actually.. here it is ... http://www.dispatchmonthly.com/nena2001/tuesday.htm

here's the bit about him changing..

............
Interestingly, J-Flexx is a former "inmate" (aka producer and writer) of Death Row Records, and was involved in albums for Dr. Dre and Tupac Shakur that included obscene and violent references. After Tupac's 1996 shooting death in Las Vegas, J-Flexx was apparently transformed and has since been writing songs that focus on ending violence and promoting peace. His most notable piece has been "A Change to Come" which points to previous violence among the east-west rap record companies
............
(which was on gang related OST)

and here he is with the kids...

havent heard of what bobby seale said before.
after that news story the last i heard was the mention sam sneed gave him in that golden child song from last year.

Post by: White-Chocolate on May 27, 2003, 01:44:35 PM: that pic above is of J.Flexx? i always thought J.Flexx changed his name to Tha Realist after Pac's death, i'm guessing i'm wrong?? if u listen to the gang related album there are a few J.Flexx tracks on their and he sounds like Tha Realist and i swear the name in the credits is the same for both them but i will have to double check that, i just remember me and a homey looked into that an i was 100% sure J.Flexx is Tha Realist?? correction pleazee
Title: Re:New here / J. Flexx
Post by: Don Seer on May 27, 2003, 01:56:27 PM: ^ sorry you're wrong...
