I found some more info, I didn't know that he worked with Tatiana Ali: Sway & Tech Comment On Johnny J, Talk New Cash Battle October 7th, 2008 | Author: Jake PaineThis weekend it was reported that Johnny "J" Jackson died tragically in Los Angeles County Jail [click to read]. The producer of hits "How Do You Want It," "Hit 'Em Up" and "All About You" was well-liked in the Hip Hop industry, often granting interviews to uphold Tupac Shakur's legacy in times when information, particularly about his posthumous albums was often scarce and falsified. The final interview with the Mexican-born producer came by way of Sway & King Tech of The Wake Up Show. The legendary radio personalities, audio and video journalists and artists in their own right have had many superstar guests on their syndicated program. Tuesday evening, they told HipHopDX how Johnny J touched their lives. "Johnny J will be forever a legend in the music world. We hold him up next to Dr. Dre and Quincy Jones any day of the year. He always kept it real and honest with us, and we always appreciated that... Johnny, don't ever stop making your music. Now that you're in heaven, we know you and 'Pac are getting down once again --- We will miss you," said the two in a joint statement. The duo's final interview with Jackson can be viewed: http://ursession.com/wakeupshow#5299 In the interview, Johnny J declares to have sold over 100 million records, his connection with 2Pac in the studio and working with Tatiana Ali of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air fame, who is also interviewed. In addition to commenting on Hip Hop's recent loss, Sway & Tech are launching their urSession.com label with a cash prize contest. Users can visit the site to rhyme over provided beats by Alchemist, J Dilla and 9th Wonder in pursuit of $5,000, an appearance on The Wake Up Show and a development deal with their imprint. The submitted tracks will be uploaded through the site, voted on by fans, and a winner will be declared after the December 4th deadline. Other contests, part of the 100K Battle will involve other genres, and will follow.

I'm digging the song but y'all are right about David Banner, he don't have much skills as an mc, I give him credit though for at least trying to put a better message out there than most rappers these days

Hey fuq I understand how it is man, no hard feelings at all, you know that I got your back in whatever you decide to do, if you want to talk about something to me don't be afraid to pm or email and I'll answer you back

This is a powerful remix, I don't know why Nas ain't on it though since the original song's his afterall: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZujRaCSACEw

http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.7858...g-second-debate McCain Calls Obama "that one" During Second Debate October 8th, 2008 | Author: Anthony Springer JrAfter a presidential debate with its share of awkward moments, early network polls suggest Democratic nominee, Barack Obama, came away victorious over his GOP rival, John McCain, in last night's town hall formatted debate. A focus group by NBC had the Illinois senator winning 60-40. CBS had Obama winning 39-27 (35 percent said it was a tie). Even the conservative leaning Fox News had Obama with a slight edge on McCain. In what may have been a potential deathblow for the McCain campaign, one awkward moment came when the Arizona senator did not address Obama by name when answering a question about energy. "I know you grow a little weary of this back and forth," McCain said addressing the audience when talking about a bill on energy. "You know who voted for it?" he asked rhetorically. "That one," he said of Obama while jabbing his finger in Obama's direction. The move stoked allegations of race baiting by Obama supporters on a day when McCain-Palin rallies became increasingly more hostile to Obama. When GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin mentioned Obama's association with former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, she drew a series of boos from the crowd as well as one disturbing retort. "Kill him!" one man responded, presumably talking about Obama. "I am just so fearful that this is not a man who sees America the way you and I see America, as the greatest force for good in the world. I'm afraid this is someone who sees America as 'imperfect enough' to work with a former domestic terrorist who had targeted his own country," Palin added. The final presidential debate is slated for October 15 at Hofstra.
