Additional Info:
Jon Peters ~ Q: As far as the production of the song and that sort of thing, how was Tupac as a producer or a co-producer?
Johnny J ~ A: Well you know, I'm the producer, and, ? co-produce with me, just like I said, he was the lyrical side so, it was unbelievable man, like I said me and him were just tight dope arrangers. He knew how to arrange lyrics, I know how to arrange music, so, like I said, when I dropped the beats he knew exactly what to drop on the words. And that's something I can say that, made me happy, I didn't feel like I was wasting my music on the wack ass lyrics or whatever, and he came with subjects that made sense, you know what I mean. I mean he mixed a whole bunch of subjects into one song. Cause Pac wouldn't stay with one thing sometimes he would talk about sex, gangs this that, thugs, whatever, the streets, what's going on, all in one cut. It's like if you listen to how do you want it he doesn't stay on one thing, he talks about a whole bunch of things. (Right). So, that's one thing that was dope about him man, you never knew what would come out that man's mouth man. And that's what was tight, so. Like I said, we put it down together.
Jon Peters ~ Q: Is there something that you can tell us about Tupac, or something that he told you, that most Tupac fans don't know.
Johnny J ~ A: Ah man, oh my God, there's so much dude. For one thing dude a lot of people may not know that it shows on the song How Do U Want It, it says produced by Johnny J and you see produced by Johnny J and Tupac for NonStop Productions when we did the song HitEmUp. But one thing that a lot of people didn't know is that me and him were going to form our own production company, which was me and him. And we were going to do our thing from R&B, to Pop music, to you name it man, we were even looking forward to getting down with Alanis Morrisette, definitely trying to get down with Mary J. Blidge, and there was a whole bunch of stuff about to go down. And this is not long before he died, I mean there was artists that we were trying to go with, to lock up with that you just wouldn't even believe. Even if it was country, we were going to go for it, we were going to do it all. One thing that a lot of people didn't know is that we were getting ready to form our own production company, which was called NonStop Productions. That's a name that I came up with, cause Pac was like Johnny, c'mon man, come up with a production name and lets just form our own thing. I was like, alright, and that was the name of it, NonStop Productions. So if you check the credits for some of the songs, you'll see produced by Johnny J and Tupac for NonStop Productions. So that'll show you the proof right there. That's something a lot of people didn't know.
And in XXL's October 2003 issue (2Pac 7 Years Later) the Outlawz talk about Pac as a producer
*Life of an Outlaw (produced by 2Pac)
-Edi says-"Pac actually played that melody song. He's not credited for it, but he played it. It's a little keyboard sound that you hear in the background. He's playing that.
*Against All Odds (produced by 2Pac)
-Edi says- I don't want to take nothing from none of the producers, but they all know 'Pac produced that record himself. Almost every note that nigga was humming to them niggas, every beat, snare, hi-hat-that nigga was telling what to play.
Peace
