----
In this clip, Jon B talked about making the track "Are You Still Down" featuring Tupac. He detailed their studio session and the good vibes that were exchanged on musical and purely human levels. Jon B said he was taken aback when he learned that Pac really dug his music. He also recounted how the label didn't want to put out their collaboration due to having such disparate images. However, Pac's untimely death just two weeks after their studio session changed that.

Pac and Jon B was a cold ass combo...that song STILL bumps RIGHT NOW.
@Lord Frieza Christ corny.. whats with you weirdos obsessively hating this cat?
@Lord Frieza Christ You really gotta be the lamest dude on youtube...you really need some therapy bruh
@Lord Frieza Christ hating because you cant be anything like him so you project your gayness onto others.
Absolutely 👍
fadethechannel ... #Yep
Jon B originally said that he didn’t want to release the song, because Tupac had just died and he didn’t want to make it seem like he was clout chasing off of his death. But Tupac’s mother Afeni told Jon, that Tupac played that song for her and He was very proud of it. So she gave him her blessing to release. That’s what He would have truly wanted ❤️
Yep, I heard him say that on "UnSung".
Why change his story for vlad??🤔
Just a Good song. 2pac & r&b is 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
The right way to go about it , that’s mad respect gettin the blessing from Afeni
That was beutifull
Jon B still looks trim, vibrant, and healthy. God bless you player. God bless your path.
Unfinished Business dont hate. Make sure you get a nice weave this summer to have long hair like white and Spanish women 😂
@Unfinished Business most blacks @44 don't look 10 years younger, just like any race.
Wow Pac was really a student of the game, him having Jon B's album in his car basically studying him to understand his style and adapt to it. That's amazing! Tells you Pac had a true passion for music.
Imiko yes sir
What?! I can’t believe you said that.Wow,You didn’t know Pac at all huh?
Right! But,He knows his place though with many of the old school artist I’ve noticed.They were in places he wasn’t in and can’t even talk about.lol
Well said champ
Pac only did what real musicians do when they collab. Study each other's style to see how they can compliment each other.
Jon B was a hidden gem of our time back then.
💯
He is a I'll dude
Johnny J too. RIP
First legit interview im honestly interested about..
He really was
RIP Johnny J. One of Hip Hops most important producers but never gets the recognition he deserves.
Facts 💯
All facts
Lucid did Johnny J pass away?.
@@melissaonorati2243 yeah he passed away a long time ago like around 2008 i think
He really was a great producer. He didnt need to kill himself. If 2pac was alive, i dont think he would have done it.
R U Still Down is one of those collabs that was a sneaky hit. If you didn't know who Jon B was before that song, you became an instant fan after you heard it. That song is still perfect to this day.
Jon B underrated big time. “They don’t Know” Classic track as well
Yes it is
Kevin Burke how is it underrated when it reached number 7 and still gets heavy rotation
VofNovember good point it was a hit. I just feel Jon is underrated.
Facts
Kevin Burke he’s not underrated. He gets enough shine.
Dude... I freaking love Jon B. "Cool Relax" is one of the best R & B albums of the 90's.
💯💯💯💯
Facts! Jon is one of the best 90’s R&B singers and deserves his flowers!
This dude was blessed for sure. He got the last real life pac verse before he died. Mann that’s a fire ass memory
Factssssss..
That was a true studio collab. Not email verse shit they do now a days
Level2 Boxing facts!
yey. not them posthumous "colaborations"
Actually got another song...They did part 2
Jon B pairing up with 2Pac was a unique match. Thank GOD that collaboration happened!! ✌🏽🎙😻
Demetria Calvin I concur. Crazy how both artists got classics that are still played heavily these days.
Demetria Calvin they don’t know sista 🙏🏽
Child you to young to remember this song you just looked it up 😂
@@reddunk3744 Too young?? Looked it up?? I'm glad you think you know me!! I was in high school when this came out. 🤫
@@DynamicallyDC damn you old fart n I do know you. Who knows we might cross paths
Rest In Peace: Johnny J.
🙏
That are you still down beat is like the best B I've ever heard the most complex Beat 2 it's definitely hard to reproduce that beat because dudes put so much little s*** in that beat a particular times I also love that second the B side of are you still down that song Kissing goes hard to
The goat
He deserves more credit
Famn all the good onde seems to go way to early, R.I.P🙏🙏🙏
"Pretty girl. They don't know, someone to love" etc . What a legend. I miss true r&b
Yessss! Now I'm going to download bona fide again!
That song was so hard when it came out!
Christopher Williams it still is and will always be❤️🤪💁🏾♀️😊
💯
Christopher Williams still is
Rodney Noel please watch my video Victim
Nigga fuck you..
"Dont listen to, what people say, they dont know about, about you and me"
John B is an R&B legend in my book.
That song is STILL a BANGER shyt STILL gets the club rockin
wait.......what club you go to?
That's a lie
Think earl meant “don’t talk 😂
Being honest I ain't never heard it played in a club and I been to every club between Chitown and ATL
Jason Shannon come to Cali
Robin Thicke jacked his style
Christopher Jackson lmao yup I was at one of his shows once and he straight up said “ayo FUCK Robin Thicke” on the mic like a G!! Hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣 I love him!!
But Robin Thicke will never be as soulful as Jon B
@@cristamcafeeyoung4515Major. He got me into r&b when all I listened to was Dogg Pound and Wu Tang. No hate to Thicke tho, Luv U Girl is still my shit.
Robin Thicke also copied his mannerisms lol
Robin sounds nothing like Jon. Robin was heavily influenced by Marvin Gaye. You never heard Jon sing in falsetto.
Never get tired of hearing Pac stories or 90's music stories period...
Me either ....
Facts!!!
Who remembers saying "That's Tight" back in the day lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Me
I still say it to this today lmaoo
Still do today🤣😂 2021
They just brought this word back in 2018 all I been hearing up to now 2924
Yeah like in 97/98/99
This really warmed my soul ❤️
Jon B one smooth ass dude, his whole aura
Awbskure Beats you can see auras? How does a smooth aura look?
Quest4Truth smoove blue
@@rootstriker1618 you can feel an aura or sense it. U ever get the feeling someone's behind or watching you? That's aura sensing. Congratulations, you can do something that the Z fighters do
Jon B is an international treasure. Period.
Let me take the time out to say Rest In Peace to Tupac and Johnny j. Johnny was definitely His main producer. He produced most of those tracks on All eyez on me, which is still a classic album to this date.
Shenyae T Daz did all the bangers though
David Conov Johnny did most of them and that’s a fact
@@MinnesotaEverythingno he did Johnny J did more songs than Daz did on All Eyez on Me.
Who else instantly listened r u still down after?😂
Been listening to it again
Always. Brought me here. Listening to it. ❤
I was listening to it before
I'm about too lol
Before ;P
Jon B and Johnny J(RIP)were next level!
@Slab Rider A lot of people will disagree..But I think Johnny was better with Pac then Dre and Daz! Hurts to know police covered Johnny's death with suicide!
💯💯
This man hasn't made a bad song. So underrated! 💗 me some Jon B
😘
One of the most under rated r n b song of its time and TO THIS DAYY
🤣🤣🤣🤣....TO THIS DAY
I think this is the first interview where Vlad doesn't talk over his guest's story, thank you Vlad. Do this more often.
Only because he’s the same color as Vlad
I noticed that as well. If you pay attention you see that Jon b doesnt give him the chance, he keeps on talking, even when Vlad interrupts.
He has the complexion for the protection
for the collection 💰
Me You 😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What a song

Lord Frieza Christ ROT IN HELL
@Lord Frieza Christ Don't believe a Word of it !
Baby Lane just got paid by Reggie and his insiders to get his ass beaten on MGM Lobby so they could have evidence to label the Vegas Ambush a Gang Related Murder
Lord frieza you epitomize the word clown.
I loved Jon B growing up. So much talent. What a voice.

Classic & timeless track, thanks for getting that interview vlad!
The original white boy of R&B
Hamza Rikha Can't forget about the original White R&B boys: Color Me Bad.
I thought he was white mixed with something
That really would be Michael McDonald to keep it a buck

You can tell by the way Jon b lit up when he was talking this a super genuine pac story. RIP to two of the greatest, pac and Johnny j
Always, always loved that song.
Are You Still Down is a gem 💎
I was raised to be strong......
Jon B is still Daddy AF!😉
Yes he is
Jon b is like finding lost jewelry. Pure gold
mad love for Jon B pac pick the right one for real
"I was riding with Pac earlier that day, and forgot my Jon B. tape in the front seat." - TK
🤣🤣
Where did tk say this at?
@@dannynextup5986 ...he Clownin….. TK be all up in the mix somewhere, somehow, no matter if its the past , present or future! Ha!
😂
My boy 44 , hasn’t aged one bit
Can’t get enough Pac stories and it’s plenty more people with gems
Real music heads should acknowledge johnny j a whole lot more
Great producer
Him and pac made great music together
Facts!!! So underrated
"True... He was fye!!!!" ^Fye O aka Finnis Brown^ The fat lady lover......
Facts he had an artist he had signed before he passed they made dope tracks I hope it comes out one day
*I never get tired of 2Pac Stories! If only we can get Shock G on here!*
DrumMajorSCSU .DrumMajorSCSU Get everybody that knew and worked with Pac on VladTV and tell stories about him that probably wasn’t talked about publicly before
Vlod will definitely get him sooner or later. I'm surprised he hasn't been on here yet. Maybe he turned Vlod down lol
The story everyone was waiting for lol
James Thomas He’s told this story before
Lol
I know I was waiting for.it
Indeed!!!!!
*_Yup!! Johnny J made that bad ass beat!! I mean beyond perfect for the song!! RIP Johnny J 🇲🇽 the best beat maker for Tupac!! He did that!! He did all that.._*
I love Jon B. So underrated. Tupac being the legend that he made such an amazingly beautiful song with Jon. That’s honestly one of my favorite songs of all time.
I play this song on repeat all the time, literally 1 of my favorites of alll time
R U Still Down is STILL one of my favorite joints EVER! Straight dope! 👌🏽 Jon B w/Pac is a recipe for epicness. ✌🏽
I was raised to be strong and mama told me be thug since the day I was born
Came up out he gutta never changed my style
Jon B so cold. I remember walking into an allstar party in LA and he was performing at a Ron Artest gathering ... that nigga can sing. Live
Jon b. Is still so damn fine. I think I want and like him even MORE NOW. Damn.
I agree
I was listening to Cool, Relax earlier today. That whole album is fire.
I had that CD it was lit. Every song is the bomb
This one of the best interviews ever just Jon B telling that story how they came together and real people collaborating even when the system say no
IMO His Best TRACK. Everything about it is amazing and shows not only this mans talent but 2 PAC as the GOAT.
*_Wow I had no idea it was on a Johnny J beat!! Wow makes me love it even more!! _**_#JohnnyJ_**_ _**_#MexicanPride_**_ He was the best at making Pac’s beats!!_* 🇲🇽
Anna Lexi Johnny j did a lot of Tupac’s beats on death Row
FACTS
#Johnny J Was a Beast on the Beats! Him and Pac had real chemistry in the studio! Dopeness on Record. Murk City
This is my favorite song from Jon B. Perfect beat for Tupac to rhyme over. Classic ❤️
One of my favorite songs ever
2pac was the only rapper I can think of that could legitimately get on a real r&b song & still make it work without it sounding too street with cussing & vulgar rhymes but not loose the street edge at the same time. The reason being was he was a poetic writer from the heart.
Redman was the same thing back in the 90s when he did songs with Aaron Hall & Jodeci.
Jon B still listen to his jams till this day and 2pac best combo
I fuckin love Jon B, forever and always! I truly appreciate this interview.
Still one of my favorite songs til this day!
Kind of crazy that this guy is in his mid 40's. He looks 29 at the oldest. Between him looking young and his music, I'm not totally convinced he isn't black.
Mike Jones who Mike Jones who
Exactly
I don’t blame ya. Black people want everyone to be black. Lol I’m only 1-3 percent black but I’m still seen as biracial or mixed. White people will never be that way.
@@djdramademiks6823 you don't make any sense so you just gone forget that most of this world is whitewash also white people made that one drop rule and black people don't want everyone to be black because y'all can't be black also ur not black period
romell rattler I didn’t say that I’m black. All I said was black people view me as black but white people dont view me as anything because I’m not of Nordic European descent so they don’t see me as a white person
He is handsome!!
Jon B was promoting Are you still down on a LA radio station was the reason I bought Cool Relax became one of my favorite RB albums of all time
Nice album
He has a colabo with nas also
Finer things
One of the most Unrated super producers...ever, people don't know his huge contribution to old school,r&b and hip hop/rap.very very talented guy.
This is one of my favorite Jon B songs
Yo you everywhere lmfao
Why rock a BABY LANE'S NAME AND PIC THOUGH YOU FRAUD? ??
Thank you Vlad for this gem. I grew up around this time listening to 2Pac and it’s incredible to hear the story behind this collaboration. Ahead of its time.
Glad they collaborated , that song is soo good, still fresh. 👌🏽
Thanks for this interview!👏👏👏 Both of my favorites..Badass jam back then..Classic 😘
A timeless classic love it ❤❤ R.I.P Pac!!!
2019 & he’s still lookin good!! 😊✅
Jon b, one of the greatest & most underrated voices in the whole R 'n 'B genre!!! Incredible artist
Jon B is the homie for life . I appreciate him being apart of the game . And yes he's a hidden gem 💎
Vlad couldn’t wait for this Question.. this question was the only reason vlad called Jon B ...
Next question, “so did you know anyone from Death Row? “
Twisted Pistol Lmao 🤣😂
I hate the sneakiness of VLADIMIR! SMH And his obviously SMILING AND SHIT WHILE PURPOSELY ASKING CERTAIN SHIT,URKS ME! HIS DECEITFUL CHARACTERISTICS SHOW EVEN THOUGH HIS GAY ASS VOICE!
@Twisted Pistol Serious Question I have..What is Vlad's Obsession with Pac??
I know I was waiting
😂😂😂
“Where was Suge when you guys were doing all of this”
-Vlad
Fr laughing out loud
VLADIMIR is a damn culture vulture.
Oh shit lmao 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Trust me if Jon B. wasn't white, that question was automatically coming.🤦♂️
My brother branded "r u still down" in my head as a lil kid lol jon b a true OG
Classic song! nice to hear the backstory. that really was an epic collaboration. i was in HS when that song came out. always been a fan of Jon B. that beat & whole vibe plus these 2 on the track 🔥
I'm 30 year old, I was in the 2 grade when I heard of Jon b. He look good for his age, no hard drugs or nothing
Wish they would’ve did a ep or whole album together #longlive2pac #thegoat
Ron Doub part two goes hard too.
You know he’s good when he did tracks with Pac, Nas, Jay, and AZ. My favorite solo joint gotta be “Bad Girl” though..oh wait..forgot about “They Don’t Know”..that was fire too. Awesome he was there during the infamous Pac interview with Sway that was later released on the In His Own Words CD.
The OG version of the beat is 2Pac's "Tongue Kissin". Pac has a lot of OG material out there and most of them are better than the remixes that came out after his death. Props for all of these interviews from the people we're all interested to hear from, telling their story.
Who all going straight to that video now to watch it again....🙌🏽
Yes.. Real Talk.. You are very Beautiful Lady also!!!
Second Opinion Thanks!
@@chrissylovinmylife Yes.. I check out your video regarding New Orleans! That crazy my first time visiting The Big Easy. I ate at Popeye's totally different taste.. Congratulations on your daughter.
That song slaps TO THIS Day!!!!! It’s the 1
Anyone else just searched
Damn I miss the 90’s Jon b voice was and is still amazing.
Thank you Vlad for bringing Jon B , we always love Jon till today he is one of my FAVORITE Icon on RNB this guy is amazing I feel like he would have push more on his career.......not so many people know how good he with his music and also an amazing producer...... much love South Africa ❤️🌍🇿🇦
That song is the reason my daughter is born
Man! #FactsNotFiction 😂

Its one of my babymama's favorite.songs from Jon B.
Jon B still looks the same.
That Cool Relax album is a classic!
Oh Gosh...I Love Jon...Exactly the Same from day 💯❤🙌🏼
One of the greatest song's on quite storm 😉
Soon as I started writing Jodey Whatley and Rakim he said it lol. 2Pac made me a Jon B fan. I didn't really know who Jon B was and bought his tape because Tupac was on it. Been a fan of Jon B's ever since. That was probably about 98.
My lady and I saw Jon live a few years back. He can sing. Good to see him healthy. Message: Stay in shape mentally, physically, spiritually and financially.
Jon B is he definition of smoothness. And he doesn’t age! It’s so great to feel that you remember that day when he hit big back in the day with Someone To Love and just live through that beautiful 90’s era.
Tupac stories will never get old..
