Nate Dogg Leaving Death Row Records, 2pac in New York for SNL and Johnny J Lawsuit 

Meeeee and my homies thoooooough 🎶

Damn

He was just alright. Truth be told

@@Chali_M he was very good He couldn't take the liberty like doctor Dre to live with one beat for months and months perfecting it tupac tupac wanted his beats done quickly and recorded quickly he did some of his best songs

Johnny J was dope! Most of that All Eyez on Me was Johnny j sound! Them samples went hard!

Jonny J was A "Grate Producer" 💯

@@Chali_M over 100 million sold yeah he’s just alright

No it sampled winter sadness kool n the gang

@@a.2419 I think he just means that Johnny J used the Picture Me Rolling beat for his own album in the early 90s. Then he gave it to Pac for Picture Me Rolling. But yes it was a sample too

@@champchamberlain yeah that’s what I meant. Thanks for catching that.

@@a.2419 your right about that. Just meant the original sampled version of that beat.

Still a sample

Right... he didn't come out speaking on issues working with pac before deathrow... he did mad joints on thug life and me against the world

Exactly 💯! He needs to run CEO of anything

Hell yeah he did. That regulate album could have been on death row. That album was huge. It dominated 1994. All DR had in 1994 was above the rim soundtrack and murder was the case soundtrack. They were always Hatin' on warren G for some reason. Even Dr. Dre. Told Warren he better go somewhere else. And that's brother. And supposedly Dre owned 50 percent of DR. But if I can't get your brother on did he really own 50 percent? Also Warren G never got paid anything for his input on the chronic album.

Suge dropped the ball when he let bloodz and crips join the label, he didn't give a Damm about the Dogg pound, which is said

Pity he committed suicide in jail..he was a great producer!!!..R.I.P Johnny j..🙏🙏🙏

@@youwantsmoke7284 but was it suicide

He sampled way too much. And Suge hated paying producers unless it was a protege of Dr. Dre's. That's why Pac went with less sample based producers on The 7 Day Theory. That's just business.

@@itsrelativ3967 if you were to say this in 1996, no one would even accept that as a valid argument at all. In the 90’s, into the late 2000’s, sampling was still HUGE. Johnny J was one of 2Pac’s favorite because he could make beats quickly because he sampled. Pac didn’t care about sampling, he cared about speed. It’s why Johnny J was on half the unreleased tracks that leaked, because he was in the studio every day getting beats. Pac himself said, lay the beat down and finish it after the rappers left. That’s what Johnny did. He sampled something real quick, then finished it once Pac left. That’s why he loved working with Johnny J. In 1996, you NEVER heard he sampled too much. 95% of rap was sampled. Even on Makaveli, Toss It Up remixed the original No Diggity beat which sampled Grandma’s Hands by Bill Withers and To Live and Die in LA sampled Do Me Baby by Prince

@@youwantsmoke7284 His death is very questionable. I wouldn't just write it off as suicide but we all have our own thoughts and opinions

Peter Gunz used that Steely Dan sample, they said In a documentary that they found out about the song “Uptown Baby” because it was popular in 97

@@TheMARCVISION yep and when they found out they took all the publishing.. Similar things happened to Johnny J produced songs

@@jthomas8862 facts!!!

I'd like to look that up any specifics?

Yup. You woulda thought they woulda learned from what happened to Biz markie lol. He didn't make any money off his album because of all the sample clearance lawsuits he had to deal with.

@@3rdGenerationCancer true

Did 2pac ever meet him?

why?

@@sirdopaminesjournal3292 you didn't hear how he died?

@@TonyMontana-mv9ez He jumped. He had depression. It's not that odd.

@@sirdopaminesjournal3292 he was getting out. he wasn't going to be doing years. Being depressed doesn't mean you going to kill yourself

@@sirdopaminesjournal3292 false. The wright's were over the L.A County jail when Johnny J was locked up. He had 30 songs of unreleased 2pac music that was worth millions and some one running death row at the time didnt like that and passed his death off as suicide. Fuck outta here

They tried to clear it Donald Byrd wouldnt clear it or it would have made it onto All Eyez On Me

Coincidentally Reggie released the song "Late Night" before it was on Better Dayz album. Reggie put that song on the Chronic 2000 album in 1999. Then it got put on Better Dayz in 2002. I don't think Amaru had the master reel, and that's why they released it with the original beat. Because you know if they had the acapella for "Late Night" they would have definitely put a new beat to it. Also not sure what you mean by "after UTEOT suffered". "Still I Rise" and "Until The End of Time" albums were both remixed. Songs on both those albums suffered too.

@@reggiewright I thought Prince had a co-production and co-writer credit on 777-9311?

Prince wrote the song

FACTSSSSSS

💯💯💯

Real talk

On errrthang

I think all the tracks from disc one from G-Funk Classics were made when Nate was on Death Row from the time period of 1995-1996

Great albums, I understood Death Row when they had nate dogg solo album than featured nate dogg

That song was by Morris day and the time

@@docholiday1463 look it up, Prince wrote & performed all of The Time's 1st 2 albums. Morris Day can't even perform under the name "The Time". The Time only performed those songs live with the music. The album cuts were performed entirely by Prince.

@@reggiewright understood. Yo Reg, I would definitely like to have Suge's prison # & address. Lifelong fan & appreciate you keeping the Death Row legacy authentic. Peace, love & better health from Philly 💯❌️💯

@@docholiday1463 That song was written, produced and performed by Prince. 😆 Prince sang the original vocals on it and replaced them with Morris. The Time's first 3 albums were written, produced and performed by Prince with Morris' vocals replacing his.

It's the worst pac song of all tint

They are need to figure a fair court on copying art n lyrics come original to two strangers n happened to sound similar but it's unfair if the hit is sued by the other..he never even heard other yet they win lose, like stings rich ass putting kids thru college over juice world sample was kinda greedy could of worked the good man a fair respectful deal instead of screw n him out his work vs or sting could said hey I'll work with u make us both money n keep art n music alive n no drama over sales

That's "Darling Nikki" right?

@@arizonaFIREent yes. It was darling Nikki. Pac also sampled "the time" s song 777-9311. On the song " what's ya phone number"

That shit is funny 🤣😂

@@miquelmcdade7424 or because of samples 🤣💀💀💀

😂😂

@@reggiewright thank you for the clarification and the good video that you guys do!

Prince hated sampling unless he proved of it

Come on Big Reg....and I swear to God you're my favorite, but we all know that 777-9311 was written by Prince and just performed by The Time. All I'm saying Prince must've not heard "Whats your phone number"... Anyway keep doing these bomb interviews bro...

Y'all still do a amazing job anyway

@@reggiewright yes, heard you talk about it in this video

Yeah, the one with Ice T was from a different show. This is the first time I hear of 2pac doing snl skits. Maybe he's confusing SNL with the skits from the show with Ice T, The Fugees, & Rosie Perez. Idk

@@gerardocontreras6098 Exactly eh

The sample shit makes 0 sense. PAC had hella songs after Johnny was gone with samples🤷🏾‍♂️

@@reggiewright never cleared but I still bump it and have it per leak and one version with Pac talking that ish .

JOHNNY J WAS DOING HIS THANG B4 BAD BOY RECORDS WERE EVEN FORMED KNOW YOUR HISTORY B4 DICK RIDING MFZ.

🤣🤣😅😅

Hell nah. Johnny was way more creative. Diddy just took beats that producers already did. Like the Juicy beat

Johnny goes above and Beyond. Till this day his beats go unrivaled. FACTSSSSSS

@@tharealest8190 Stop hating. He had hooks on smash song with Luda and Fab. Hook god. You 🧢

@@tharealest8190 Sold me than you? How many albums have sold with his voice on it? Hater! Your definition of it

@@tharealest8190 You goofy. Look at your profile. Weirdo. Goof ball! Hating behind a cartoon profile pic. You ain’t Real. Your a hater!

Thanks for reply the Reggie! Keep getting better. Love the content!
