Catching Up With Bishop

"Last time I tried to get in touch with you was to invite you to Mr. Johnson's Pimpfomations "Under Pimp Arrest." You would've had a blast.

"This character Mr. Johnson [a real pimp] was getting a director's credit for something that he was not only not directing, was hardly even in, and running around the entire day, clutching the AVN trophy that he stole on stage from Onyxxx Pictures/Heatwave and the actual director.

"His only claim to fame is that he appeared in the AVN award-winner Onyxxx Films' Pimpfomation. Because he was in it, he thinks he was key to the production. He runs on stage to accept the award. It doesn't belong to him. And he runs off with the trophy.

"The [real] director had a fit. AVN was kind enough to replace the trophy.

"That was one of the biggest scandals in Las Vegas last year."

Onyxxx Films' Pimpfomation

AVN reports:

Best Ethnic-Themed Release – Black was won by Onyxxx Films' Pimpfomation. Its star, Mr. Johnson, all pimped out in white suit and cane, took the stage with his posse and Onyxxx owner Gabor Szabo.

MR. JOHNSON BRINGS THE STREETS TO THE SCREEN

CHATSWORTH, Calif. - For authentic, ho-themed porn product, "it's all good" just got a whole lot better, thanks to AVN Award-winner Mr. Johnson, Smash Pictures, and Under Pimp Arrest.

The two-disc set is the follow-up to Pimpfomation XXX, which won Best Ethnic-Themed Release-Black at the 22nd annual AVN Awards in January. Under Pimp Arrest is a tour de 'ho extravaganza that features supreme ebony vixens Lori Alexander, Amenah Blu, Angel Eyes and Sidney Capri, among others. It takes a special talent to run such a stable, and the towering, bling-dripping Johnson is clearly the pimp for the job.

"I'm bringing something different to the table this time," offers Mr. Johnson, who - in case you were wondering - is a bona fide player. "Nice lil' shoobedoobes. I'm really showing how the game can be elevated. I'm showing the ladies what's going on, welcome to the world of the game. It was great experience for the shoobedoobes to go through Under Pimp Arrest."

"Because he's a great teacher," offers Amenah Blu, who, in addition to her onscreen appearances, works for Johnson in certain high traffic locations around greater Los Angeles. "He's been my instructor for two years. What he brings is not just studio pimpin'. It's real. We're from the streets. It's amazing that we've come form the street and have accomplished something in this industry in such a short amount of time."

Johnson feels his policy toward loyal employee Blu applies to elements of the porn industry as well.

"I treat her right,'he reveals. "I don't be slappin' on her. In the game it ain't about beatin' on the broad. If you abuse your product, ain't nobody gonna buy it."

Mr. Johnson Interview

He calls me at 11:46am.

MJ: "This is Mr. Johnson, the mac. The one and only, these sucks try to clone me.

"I was reading up this info that you received that's not true.

"Let me break it down to you.

"Onyxxx Films/Heatwave got mad because I won that AVN award."

I don't have contact info for Gabor at Heatwave/Onyxxx, so if anyone does please send it along so I can his view of things.

MJ: "When I first got with Onyxxx Films, we're talking about Gabor [Esterhazy], he knew that I was a real pimp. He didn't believe it at first. He believed it when he saw all the power and pull that I have. I came up with the name Pimpfomation XXX.

"I'm the one who directed that movie. Gabor tried to take that movie away from me. He was supposed to release along with the movie a soundtrack plus a Pimpformation manual plus a Pimpfomation album. We had a deal. Gabor backed out on the deal. He tried to f--- me by snatching everything from me and put the claim to it on his own.

"The only thing that that camerman Phashion (works for Onyxxx Films) did was porn. I don't know too much about porn. I don't know how to shoot that s---. Phashion went on location with me while I told him how I wanted to do things. He's another backstabber.

"The soundtrack to that movie was nominated. Gabor tried to tell AVN that I didn't make the movie, but everybody at AVN knew that I did that movie. They knew that Gabor don't do work like that.

"The day of the AVN awards show, I ran into my girl Sarah [who works at AVN] to buy tickets.

"I'd asked Gabor, are you going to the AVN awards show? Gabor said, 'Nah, I don't ---- with that. I never mess with that.'

"I get to the AVN awards show and this fool got two tables. Lying!

"Pimpfomation XXX wins. They call my name. I'm going down the aisle to get my award. Twenty other motherf-----s running up to the stage.

"I'm the first one on stage. They pass me the award. 'Here, Mr. Johnson.' I was so happy, I couldn't tell everybody thank you. Sasha was trying to yell through the mic. Gabor was trying to tell everybody, 'Don't let me talk.'

"Then I get a deal with Smash Pictures in Vegas. Stuart Wall walks up to me, gives me a card, and while he's giving me the card, there are 20 photographers taking slicks, because I'm always suited and booted.

"Eversince I got with Smash, it's been smooth sailing all the way. We put out Under Pimp Arrest, and it's outselling Pimpfomation. Gabor is mad because I got the award and he had to pay to get another one.

"He doesn't want to play the game right. This is what happens when you try to f--- people. It backfires.

"Amenah Blu, my ho that hangs with me... Gabor paid my bitch $1,500 in a check to suck his dick. She told him, if you want pussy, then you've got to give up some more money.

"He didn't give me all my money like he should've. He tried to be really slick on me. So I got him back.

"You know how I got him back? I left him in the hands of G-d. I got the AVN award. How did I get that when he had 20 niggers with him?

"Smash Pictures has been taking care of me. I've been to all the parties."

Duke: "What's in your movie Under Pimp Arrest?"

MJ: "Some pimpi, man. I've got all the top stars -- Lori Alexia, Amenah Blu, Angel Eyes, Sydney Capri, Beauty, Stacey Cash. I'm killin'. The movie is doing real good.

"The cold part about it -- when he found out that I'd signed with Smash Pictures, he sent Phasion to offer me $5,000 to come back and shoot another movie with him before I started with Smash. I told him no. I don't need it like that. I'm not starving for money.

"I came into the industry already with gear. I'm pushin' a Mercedes Benz. I'm pushin' a Beamer. I've got a nice house. I'm chillin'. Even if I don't do porn, I'm still going to survive because I'm from the ghetto streets [in East LA].

"It don't matter that I'm a pimp, man. I'm not all airheaded and think I'm all this and I'm all that. Just because I'm a pimp, I don't treat nobody dirty or raggedy. I treat everybody like a human being.

"I'm a businessman and I'm an entrepreneur. I tried to really look out for that fool. I spent $250 to buy him a...hat, just to show him appreciation.

"You can ask Stuart [Wall] about me and Jeff [Mullen] and AVN. They love me. How can you not give me Editor's Choice? Look at my work. I'm the talk of the industry now. I was interviewed on Playboy radio. These hos don't even f--- like they used to. They just lay there. When I hear something like that, my job is to get that changed. Give the people what they want to see.

"I got four stars from AVN again. And then they wrote up an article about - Mr. Johnson did it again.

"You don't do people back physical. Success makes people mad. That's how you get 'em back. You don't have to use force.

"I just got off the phone with Bishop. He says that he didn't say none of that.

"I said, you were out at my video shoot filming me, my cousin and my other pimps. How could you talk about me like that? We treated you good. You said you were with some magazine and the other guy couldn't make it. And then the minute you got through shooting us on camera, we come to find out, nigger, that you were in there fu--ing Angel Eyes. Are you press or porn star? That don't mix.

"Gabor acted like a bitch. He threatened Smash Pictures. He sent them emails.

"I'm trying to change the game, bring it in from the streets and into the industry. I want the women to know there's room for elevation. Don't just work the [privates], do some porn. Do some modeling. I know all the ways to do that. I know what I want for my ladies."

Born in 1968, Mr. Johnson has "been in the game [of pimping] for seven years. I'm cool folks. I'm trying to get the West Coast back up on the map.

"Gabor's people begged me to bring my award to their table. No. Y'all niggers tried to play me. I ain't got to impress no bitches.

"After I received my award, I went up that red-carpet aisle to my hotel, got my bitches, we went back to the room, and we left that morning and came back to Los Angeles. I left their ass in the dust.

"Gabor's crew, Pete Cash and them, during the making of Under Pimp Arrest, $3,000 came up missing. In the room where my ho did her scene, there was a camera in the room picking everything up. Amenah Blu took the envelope into the room. Somehow the envelope came up missing.

"We had a meeting -- me, Amenah, Pete Cash, and John Louise. They said to me, uh, uhh. John Louise said, there ain't nothing on that tape. I already looked. I said, bring the tape to the table. Let me look at it. Na, na, na. That's how I know John Louise took the money."

I have no independent verification of this. Pete Cash says these allegations are false.

"I told Stuart I ain't f---ing with these niggers again. They tried to keep me in the dark. I put all that stuff together. I said to Bishop, if you said that for real, my attorney is going to be giving you a call. Because we hit it off so cool on the shoot, I don't understand why he did this.

"Peter Stokes [AVN managing editor] is my partner from AVN. I've got nothing but good say-so about him. Peter Stokes is my dog. Sarah is my dog. Shari and Jeff from All Play Media. Beautiful people. From the receptionist to the man up in there Tim Connelly. They cool folks.

"My bitch [Amenah Blu] has been with me for three years. A real ho from the streets. She's from the concrete -- Sunset, Figuroa, Sepulveda, Miami, Washington. My hos are international hos. I broke her ass into porn so she can learn something different.

"Amenah is a real ho. You want to interview her?"

Mr. Johnson gets her on the line. "Momma, who came up with Pimpfomation XXX?"

Amenah: "You did."

MJ: "What did Gabor try to do?"

Amenah: "He tried to take credit for it, but the album and the manual was done almost a year before.

"I've had the pleasure to know Mr. Johnson for three years...and be a lady of leisure. He's taught me so much about life. You learn to socialize with different people."

Amenah says she has two college degrees -- an AA in General Education and a BA in Health Science from Drew University, "a historical black college."

She says that for Under Pimp Arrest, "nothing was rehearsed. There was no script. The intro before the sex scene, everything was ad libbed.

"You can ask anyone -- Mr. Johnson is a good genuine person."

Bishop calls at 5:39pm about the Mr. Johnson controversy: "You gotta love this. If this were rap, there would be gunfire right now. This is comical. Now there are supposed to be threats flying and people tricking. I might have to skip the next couple of parties."

Pete Cash phones at 7:40pm and says that what Mr. Johnson claimed about him (that he stole money) is false. I was juggling phone calls at the time and lost Pete.

I call him back and leave a message.

Bishop phones at 8:30pm. "I went to the AVN site. When I look at who won this award, there's only one name next to the award and that's Onyxxx Films.

"Gabor paying $1,500 for a BJ? I can hardly get Gabor to pay me that much to shoot a scene. I don't see that happening.

"I don't know what Pete Cash has supposed to have done here. He's been above reproach the whole time I've known him.

"This is a shame. I'm in both of these movies. Pimpfomation and Under Pimp Arrest. There's enough money for everybody. They're not even in competition. I don't understand what this is all about. What difference does it make? The first picture would never have come out without the combination of the two of them (Mr. Johnson and Gabor). Why can't they be happy? Both of these companies have future pimp offerings. There aren't going to be any blazing gun battles in the street. We'll have to see who moves the most numbers."
