Johnny J???

[blazeindave213]

props on this man thanks a lot

[DJDMC]

This interview must be older than Oct.09, it must be done before Johnny J passed away because Vegas says hes about to work with Johnny J?

I agree with that he said, that Suge should have put outside artists on Pac's Nu Mixx album, maybe not Outkast but artist like Nas or Jadakiss. It would have crossed over.

Great interview, I actually liked this dudes work a lot. Slept on producer.

Not if he was talking about WideAwake and the internal struggle that has only surfaced recently.

[OG Hack Wilson]

this is a well researched, in-depth interview!  +1

[2dog]

Eastwood on "Hail Mary"?? Did that ever leak?

The Johnny J reference must have been a mistake. Vegas sound an intellegent guy. Notice he's a big gambler/poker player, I wonder if that's why he calls himself "vegas"?

Dope interview, dope producer!
