    I didnt say he produced knockin boots, although i mentioned he produced pour out a little liquor. He definately played a big part and is credited with recording/engineering most of that candyman album or at least co-credits. check out the interview in the original RIP post, there’s actually like 8 or 9 parts and he goes through his history, starting with Candyman’s album. best part of the interview was how he was saying he’s a better producer/engineer than dr. dre, which is very well possible.

    this is from an interview with j:

    Johnny “J” – Man of course. You know I produced the first song with Candyman called ‘Knocking Boots’. Candyman is on the cover with Eazy E, which is the NWA cover. Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, everybody on the cover. I produced and Candyman is right there on the cover. So me Dre, Ice Cube all of us know each other; Sir Jinx everybody we all go back to the same family. We’re all doing music man like in ’85 – ’86 – ‘88. I graduated in 1987 from Washington High School so came straight out of high school to a platinum record, which was ‘Knocking Boots’. And that took me on a hell of a fucking whirl wind man. It was an experience I will never forget. Even Tupac knew about that. Pac even brought it up when we where working on ‘All Eyez On Me’. He’s like ‘Johnny “J” I saw you on the cover of a Candyman record. I couldn’t believe it man it was you’. I was like yeah man I did all that.
