S-Endz, UK rapper and member of the award winning group Swami, has finished production on a short documentary about Hip-Hop super producer Johnny J, who unfortunately passed away last year under mysterious circumstances.

Endz met with Johnny J a couple years ago in Los Angeles and had the chance to interview him. He has now complied pieces from the interview along with photos taken during the meeting and Johnny J's music into a touching documentary that highlights Johnny's career and his contribution to Tupac Shakur's legacy.

That's the clean edit of Hit Em Up. The version that's on the music video. Please tell me you have seen the video of Hit Em Up. If you haven't you aren't qualified to comment! LOL!

So when did Militant change his name to "S-Endz"? The video could've gone without that shameless plug of his in the beginning. "Solo artist in my own right," haha. Otherwise it was a decent effort, thought it's random for this to have been made.

DeeezNuuuts, for the record, my stage name of S-Endz predates the
internet s/n of Militant by about 3 years, so I chuckle at your completely baseless attempt at contempt. And I have every right to introduce myself, it's hardly a 'shameless plug'.

Nice try though.

I really liked the interview, Johnny J seemed like such an honest person, and humble about his contributions to 2pacs success. The circumstances of his death seem very strange, and he was by far one of, if not the best producer I've ever heard. This was a great tribute, I wish there were more interviews like this around about him. Thanks for posting it!!!

Johnny J was always a pretty informative guy, and I was always impressed by his openness on stuff like Thug Angel along with random interviews conducted by fans. The only thing I didn't like was how sometimes his wording made it seemed like the Pac albums should have the "original Johnny J beats," putting more emphasis on his own original work being preserved rather than preserving the original beats by every producer.

I think that has alot to do with how proud he was to work with 2pac, and he probably feels like the songs he produced is the one thing that will preserve his music. I respect how much he openly talks about him, and treats him like the legend he was. I like how Johnny J realized the talent 2pac had, and made beats that could keep up with that high level of greatness. I hate most of the newer beats they use for songs, they put way to much emphasis on making the beats sound like other popular hits of today, and feature rappers and singers that 2pac would never have a song with.
