“All Eyez On Me” Producer Commits Suicide
Posted by Bossip Staff
Legendary producer, Johnny J, has committed suicide:
Producer Johnny J, most popular for his extensive work on Tupac’s All Eyez On Me album, died while in custody at the Los Angeles County jail on Friday (October 3). His death is being considered a suicide. Johnny J (real name: Johnny Jackson) was in jail for a DUI charge. Authorities say he took his own life by jumping off a tier in the jail. He was just 39 years old, and leaves a wife and two children. In early 90s, the Mexican-born, Los Angeles-raised producer first gained notoriety after producing the hit single “Knockin’ Boots” for his Berklee College of Music classmate Candyman. Following the success of the single, he met Tupac and worked with the legendary rapper on his Thug Life album, the Above The Rim soundtrack, and the rest of the late rapper’s projects up until his death.
It is sad to see main man go out that way and prayers are with his family. We can definitely say that Johnny J and Tupac left behind some classic albums that are timeless, and they left way too soon.

1…?? So sad R.I.P… Life is tough as f^ck but if you endure the night than joy will come in the morning. Maybe not what we consider morining but joy will come in a week, a month, maybe even a year but just know life is precious and if you know anyone going thru a rough time try to be a rock for them… With all that said I might not be 1st anymore but this message was more important than being number one..
I don’t believe this…no one commits suicide…just while their detained…the lapd kills everyone!
WHY! That is my question! I just think there must be more to the story. That is tragic! I hope everyone have a blessed morning and rest of the day.
OMG!!! Is that for real. DUI! He would have been out in a quick minute. Jumped off the Tier! Are they sure he wasn’t pushed? Maybe people were trying to embezzle money from him or something. I hope they do more investigating on this.
@ Slim
Can i have that cute little baby please??
i smell a rat
dammm don’t make no sense
how they know so soon it was a suicide? did he leave a note? did somebody (that wasn’t working for the jail) see him jump? something about this doesn’t sound right. and in the LA county jail of all places. i think they have cameras in jails now? somebody needs to pull the tape.
this is a cl*****ic case of why the U.S. is headed for the same fate as babylon. that was a message for some *****ociation. heres a message: eff the LAPD.
That’s really sad. How much time was he facing to make him decide to just end it?
yep i’m back! still can smell the palm trees up in my clothing. my vaca was obessionally far out. life is good only in America. if you’re sad or down “you need a vacation!” lol
To kill yourself over a DUI when you have 2 kids is selfish.
I love you Tupac.
Mexican?
Jumped or thrown?
HMMMMMM!!??
@ Afiya
Exactly!!!
Hmmmmm…..me thinks he either got poked in his dookie spitter and didn’t wanna do it no mo’ or he got picked off by them mexicans.Them boys aint got much sense you know.The brothas probably did the poking.*****ody bails out on a dui charge….plus he got $$ to fight the case??No contest would’ve still been a fine.Who you think you foolin’ coppers?? Aye?? We know what DIDN’T happen.I like the Babylon comment above……too bad its taken this long.As you sow so shall you reap.
that man did not kill himself for a DUI. either the prisoners or the cops did that.
Most defs COPS DID IT!!!
pm…
Sounds right to me….
As a member of OUTLAWS group that 2Pac belonged to,i can now say that JJ knew what happen to pac and was threatenin to come out…it’s a long story but i guess the American system will try by all means to fail the BLACKS(Rappers in particular) cuz of our free will to express ourselves in our lyrics.Catch me if u can but it’s all said Mr America.
SINCE BOSSIP WON’T POST THIS AFTER I SENT IT TO THEM….THIS IS GREAT NEWS FOR OBAMA
By Paul Steinhauser
CNN Deputy Political Director
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) — A new national poll suggests Barack Obama is widening his lead over John McCain in the race for the White House.
Sen. Barack Obama leads Sen. John McCain by 8 points, according to CNN’s latest poll.
1 of 2 The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll out Monday afternoon suggests that the country’s financial crisis, record low approval ratings for President Bush and a drop in the public’s perception of McCain’s running mate could be contributing to Obama’s gains.
Fifty-three percent of likely voters questioned in the poll say they are backing Obama for president, with 45 percent supporting McCain.
That 8-point lead is double the 4-point lead Obama held in the last CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, taken in mid-September. Watch why the economy is hurting McCain
Monday evening’s CNN national Poll of Polls — incorporating our new CNN survey, as well as new tracking numbers from Gallup and Hotline taken October 3-5 — shows Obama leading McCain by 6 points — at 49 to 43 percent.
President Bush may be part of the reason why Obama’s making gains. Only 24 percent of those polled approve of Bush’s job as president, an all-time low for a CNN survey. See the latest polling
“Bush has now tied Richard Nixon’s worst rating ever, taken in a poll just before he resigned in 1974, and is only 2 points higher than the worst presidential approval rating in history, Harry Truman’s 22 percent mark in February 1952,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
And that’s bad news for McCain, because the poll suggests a growing number of Americans believe the Republican presidential nominee would have the same policies as the current Republican president. Fifty-six percent say McCain’s policies would be the same as Bush, up from 50 percent a month ago.
The financial crisis also appears to be contributing to Obama’s increased lead in the poll. Sixty-eight percent are confident in the Democratic presidential nominee’s ability to handle the financial crisis, 18 points ahead of McCain, and 42 points ahead of Bush.
More Americans appear to have an unfavorable view of Gov. Sarah Palin, and that may also be helping Obama in the fight for the presidency. Forty percent now have an unfavorable view of Palin, up from 27 percent a month ago and from 21 percent in late August, when McCain surprised many people by picking the first-term Alaska governor as his running mate.
“A majority of Americans now believe that Sarah Palin would be unqualified to serve as president if it became necessary, and her unfavorable rating has doubled,” Holland said.
Another hurdle for the Arizona senator is expectations. Six in 10 questioned in the poll predict that Obama will win the November election. iReport.com: Are you in a battleground state?
The poll was conducted Friday through Sunday, just after President Bush signed the $700 billion federal bailout into law. By a 53 percent to 46 percent margin, Americans oppose the bill.
“One in five might have supported a different bill, but one in three believe that the government should have stayed out of the crisis completely and let the markets attempt to recover on their own.
“A majority think that the bailout package will not prevent the economy from going into a deep and prolonged recession — but they turn thumbs-down to another bailout package if this one does not work. Only one in five would support more *****istance beyond Friday’s $700 billion package,” Holland said.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted by telephone on October 3-5. The survey questioned 1,006 people. The survey’s sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.
The Poll of Polls does not have a sampling error.
No way he killed himself… makes no sense. They probably pushed him off. Why you gonna kill yourself over a dui. Nah, ain’t true
Shavon Denise…that was so real and yes you were first, that message deserved to be.
I guess the world may never know but something does sound fishy.
This sounds hella suspect. I’m sorry, but I do NOT believe this man killed himself. I’m not buying it.
@ Young *****le.. I feel you on that. When this system gets involved, your days are numbered. There is ALOT more to this story, then what is being said.
Rest in Peace.
I HAVE REGISTERED TO VOTE: JAILHOUSE ROCK !
I realized as I lay down to sleep
We haven’t spoke in weeks
So many things that I’d like to know
Come have a talk with me
I need a sign, something I can see
Why all the mystery?
I try not to fall for make believe
But what is reality?
Where do we go?
What do we know?
Life has to have a meaning
Show me the light
Show me the way
Show that you’re listening
Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven’s watching over me
Guess it’s funny how I say thanks to you
For all you’ve given me
Sometimes the price of what you gave to me
I can’t stop questioning
O God of love, peace, and mercy
Why so much suffering?
I pray for the world, it gets worse to me
Wonder if you’re listening
When people go
Why do they go?
Why don’t you choose me?
But someday I know
I’m gonna go
I hope you’re waiting for me
Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven’s watching over me
Maybe we’ll talk
Some other night
Right now I’ll take it easy
Won’t spent my time
Waiting to die
Enjoy the life I’m living
Show me that you love me
Show me that you walk with me
Hopefully, just above me
Heaven’s watching over me

I REMEMBER MY FRIEND AND I ON OUR WAY TO SOME GIRLS HOUSE LISTENING TO POUR OUT SOME LIQUOR !

OMG!!! Is that for real…I heard a club [__"tallhub.com"__]which is the biggest club in world for 18+ singles from different countries to meet cute girls or handsome men.They are tall and slender in build,hot and sexy.Join them,and go on have a look…
Good luck for you,wish you find your girls or guys.
the police are murderers now *****ers scream for justice like ya’ll did for o.j.
Heard about this over the weekend. R.I.P.
BOSSIP! Please demand your staff get a proof read first before they publish a story. To misspell the name of a major educational institution such as Berkeley shows a serious lack of ______________ (fill in the blank)! We all make mistakes, typos, etc… but to see a staff member do it when referencing such an institution speaks volumes.
@ I’M JUST ME
THANK YOU SHE IS MY POOKIE POO! I CAN’T GIVE HER AWAY BUT HERE IS ANOTHER GANDER AT HER!
how come its only black people especially from the music business that happen to die in custody. this ***** got tired long time ago and it annoys me that they still have the audacity to publish such nonsense then claim they looking into it. ”we looking into it” means we got something to do with this but give us time to wash our hands off it.
bull ***** mi seh.

As true as that may be, the situation and cir*****stance just don’t add up to me. Like “J03y’B” already said,
“hold up wait a minute,,i thought police put drunk people in a room on the first floor until they sober up?.i mean if you in CUSTODY!,in JAIL!,then how the ***** a drunk ***** in custody on a DUI charge wind up somewhere he can jump to his death”.
Not only that, if he was being held in a holding tank how the hell did he get out to be able to jump. What was he doing just roaming around the prison on his own?. I could see if he killed somebody in an accident while he was driving drunk, after sobering up realized what he had done became despondent and couldn’t live with the idea of having done so or even if he felt pressured to do so for fear of having to do time in prison, but damn it was a DUI.
It just sounds strange.
Kill yourself over a DUI? Huh? I know people who have 10 of those things and they won’t even take too many aspirins…more to this story for sure.
Jumped off a tier + DUI = sumbody lying!!!
Yea right, how they even fix they mouths to tell that story is beyond me…
lmao(sad)…right! like how could dude be roamin around the facility kickin it,when he SUPOSSED! to be in the tank the whole time.lol the ***** is so rediculous its funny.
OH PLEASE I GIVE UP!!!!!!!!
EVERYTHING IS A CONSPIRACY! *****ODY IS GUILTY OF ANYTHING! JAILS SHOULD BE EMPTY AND THERE SHOULD BE NO POLICE!!!!!!!
WOULD THAT MAKE YOU ALL HAPPY????????
The LAPD said the same thing about my friends cousin. He was in custoduy for some bullish and he died. They said it was suicide, we know it wasnt.
This sounds sooo shady!
RIP and blessings to his family.
RIP and blessing for all his family.
the show is wanderful.YES WE CAN.
Obama is opening our eyes.
@DA TRUFF…yeah of course people kill themselves in jail/prison,,and most inmates ARE guilty and a few are innocent..but if u cant see the red flags in this suspicious ***** situation with johhny j,then thats on u
Johnny WHO?
If you know anything about the LAPD, then you would find it very hard to believe he commited suicide. The LAPD is the biggest gang in los angeles….. Real talk.
I don’t believe it he was pushed.
R.I.P.

It’s sad and I feel for his family, however this sounds suspect. Unless he had a history of mental problems, why would he jump? Also why would a DUI suspect be in that part of the jail? Just makes you go hmmmm?
sorry to hear that..I’ll add him n’ his family to my prayers.
I don’t think Johnny J killed him self either, the cops pushed him off and lied stating suicide, simply a cover up.
OMG!!!!! I knew him and this is the first that I’ve heard of this… I have some phone calls to make… I had not seen or heard from him in years. I am praying for his wife and kids too… He was a good dude.
RIP Johnny J!!!!!
Hey!
Something about this story doesn’t add up if I do say myself sounds like a cover up and the family needs to launch a investigation ASAP!
Blessing to his love ones…
Ms. Dee
This just does NOT sound like suicide to me. Over a DUI?
I hope they’re looking into this. It just doesn’t smell right.
