- Dallas Austin sat down for his first-ever VladTV interview, where he opened up about working with some of the most celebrated artists and groups of all time.
During the sit-down, Dallas shared stories of producing Michael Jackson projects and getting Biggie in the studio with Jackson. He also addressed allegations of Michael being with underaged kids, and Dallas said he never witnessed Jackson around kids.
He also spoke about working with Boyz II Men on their first album and he revealed how their egos allegedly changed when they went to work on the second album. Dallas went on to speak about working with another famous group, TLC, and Chilli getting pregnant with their son and being kicked out of the group.
To hear more, including Dallas witness Monica punch Brandy and telling Pink to say a controversial line in one of her songs, hit the full interview above.
He looks like he’s in his 30’s. He’s damn near 50 here. I’m amazed.
Between him and chili their kid is going to look 13 forever 😂
Its the millions of dollars in earning preserving him.
He looks like Shawn Branch aka Tefon Shawn
Hes a producer so he doesnt get much sun because the Sun is really the thing that ages you the most plus black dont crack because black people have an SPF of 17 on their skin.
@@erickandrade1921 Black does crack!😒
I’ve always like hearing from the song writers the producers, they’re the ones with the good stories
The best stories!! They aren’t afraid to tell the truth.
They have all the secrets!😂😂😂

Im an Aspiring songwriter...and TRUST ME, even as a NOBODY, my journey so far, pretty wild!! ...plus songwriting is story telling, so it transfers over pretty easily..imma BLABBER MOUTH, but from grade school to the work force, i can always draw crowds wen i speak 💪🏾
Gangsta Lean might be the Definitive Funeral Track
So arrogance is what brought down Boyz II Men.
Arrogance turned Men back II Boys
Pretty much....yes
This interview is brilliant, I've been loving the clips. Dallas is an incredible storyteller, so cool in his delivery. I used to read the writing and production credits on the back my of tapes and CDs like they were magazines, if you weren't born in the 70s or early 80s you cannot appreciate how ubiquitous Dallas was, his name was on everything I bought in the 90s to the point I would sometimes buy singles that I hadn't heard because it was written and produced by D.Austin and on LaFace records. Dallas, Babyface, Jermaine Dupri, D.DeGrate, Andre Harrell, ... those were the days.
Those were the days bro!
Facts
I did the same thing... All of us 70s/80s kids we didn't have Google lol.. We read tape and CD covers.. Cover to cover... We had magazines that we copped because we had to get all the info we could about our favorite artists and producers....
Dallas is different and definitely doesn't get the love he deserves..
Wow at such a young age Dallas was not just a hitmaker he was a visionary..talented all around...he gave a lot of groups their sound and look!! He doesn't get enough ceedit
Whoever attacked Kandi when she spoke on her experience with Boy 2 Men, need to see this interview.
Exactly
Dallas is a good dude. He probably doesn’t remember but in 1998 I met him in Cancun Mexico at the annual Jazz festival they used to have and all the parties were very expensive to get into. He didn’t even know us & he got us in parties for free with his pull. He didn’t have to do that because he didn’t even know us. Those parties were $100-$150 bucks a piece to get into. Thanks Dallas!
Dallas has been like an idol to me since i was a kid in the 90s but even if this was the first time I've seen em i can tell he's a real chill dude but hearing it from someone who actually met him really solidifies that sentiment..Thanx for the story bruh
Hands Down
Best Interview Of The Year.
Dallas seems like a good dude.
Alain Vincent Mob james and this
Positive info and seem to be a great person. Been a fan since he stepped on the scene. What a musical genius.
Man it really was, enjoyed that. Hope he interviews him again all those Prince, J C Chasez, Fishbone and George Clinton stories he must have. Boyz II Men well hell.
His mj story is a major standout
MJ Jackson brought me here anywhere I see his name I click to hear good things about him thanks for the video Dallas Austin deserves an Award for this interview MJ Jackson was too powerful that's why he has so much hate. Well thanks God he has more good people on his side. Forever innocent and forever powerful.
Love MJ- although Dallas doesn’t call him innocent , thank god.
“If you didn’t have gold teeth she didn’t like you “😂😂 that explains her relationship with CMurder
So were gonna ignore the fact his stepdad is one of the greatest guitarist to ever live and developed an extremely difficult guitar style (Chanking) Chicken Scratch. Insane. Dallas was born to be grrat
This Guy Is Legendary!
This is about the closest we'll ever get to getting an interview with someone of a Babyface Caliber Legend.
#IfYouKnowYouKnow!
The fact he called Monica ghetto.. I knew it! 😂😂😂
Lol!
She is
Humble, talented and way ahead of his time.
Facts
Especially to have accomplished so much and that amount of success
Yes he is!😙
It's about damn time. Been waiting on this in full
😆 😆 😆
He spilled all that tea ☕️ Loved it!
He didnt shy away from anything, told it like it is. Best interview
Vlad had him open from the start! Dude wasn’t even expecting the big ups, you can tell he genuinely thankful of the compliments.
Kandi Burress said Boys 2 Men were disrespectful and Dallas has cosigned that.
*Dallas Austin had great productions & Remixes back then!*
Salute Dallas Austin because of his variety of music talented production
I never knew of all his work
👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
"Dude broke my key board", "I gotta kill this guy"😆😆 💯
I laughed so hard at that 😂😂
Best Vlad interview of the year
This guy is so talented he is responsible for so many songs we grew up loving
Dallas is cool af ! No “celeb” vibez 👍🏽
Anyone remember his face when Kim Zolziaks started singing in the studio years ago?
I had tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Kim can NOT sing!
But he still had respect for her and helped her handle her business. Kneeknee was so pissed because she thought Kim was lying about who her friends were and got the shock of her life when Kim really did know Dallas and he wss cool with her. Kneekmee was shooked the ef out and still reeling from it. Haha
After Keefe D I couldn't go through another 20 parts lol I knew this would be good so I had to wait for the full interview lol
😆
Love Dallas he wasn't afraid to tell the truth he was straight forward 💯 great interview
U got the ONLY CHILD that Chili has!!!!! Salute to bro!!!
Loved hearing his continued respect for Take 6!
So now you want to make an hour video after I almost got in trouble at work trying to press 18 video links just to listen to this interview lol. 😂
Hahahaha
Same here...lol that's funny
I believe what he says about the government and Michael Jackson......smh
Things happen for a reason he went to jail to help those that was there, gotta turn what seems like a negative to a positive
Great interview for people who love music
Dallas working with Pink makes so much sense now... I loved that album 😍😍😍
That neverland crap has been stripped apart mj did none of this. And mj was a popular man Jesus is KING no comparison at all. Tired of that vlad conversation.
I haven't even watched the whole video but the comments got me hyped! This is clearly gonna be good! 👀
this is such an UNDERRRATED interview. So many pieces of untold info!
His MJ story sounds like Babyface's story about MJ
I mean he did have a business relationship with him. So they would have some of the same stories
That's when you know it's the truth when different ppl stories correlate 💯
This was a great interview. I’ve always been fascinated by people such as this. Who know who they are early in life.
People who are highly intelligent like this have to be supported and protected from ignorant, small minded people. This is why it’s important for education in this country to be backed financially, especially public school young children.
With the proper resources, intelligence like this can be cultivated and help our country and society to grow.
Don't worry. America is great at encouraging talent and rewarding talent. That's why America has the biggest economy in the world. In many countries, talent is severely stifled.
Lol the Michael reaction to Biggie
MJ bout it, bout it n rowdy-rowdy.
Homie legend level on 500,000 straight up! Im jus now gettin hip to his impact in the industry its crazy how involved he was from the start
im 44 this year... technically Dallas Austin is our generations Quincy Jones... Thank you for the Music Sir.
I never knew that about Boyz II Men
Kandi had a BAD experience with Boyz to Men and so did Baby Face. I'm amazed at how arrogant they are and to this day Wanya cannot humbly apologize to these LEGENDS. Instead he wants through shade like a lil boy. Boys will be boys..,not sure about the Men part of their name..,prolly why Mike had to leave
@@sandythompson2973 Their negativity must have been too much for his health
Vlad bout to get brandy and Monica on here next 😂
Just to listen to him talk about 2pac and left eye!2pac influence is amazing! The malcom x of my time!
Vladimir there is nobody playing Crossroads at their relatives funeral I don't know where you get this from
Right. Maybe at the kickback afterwards.
@@AngelAscended and he know damn well that ain't playing that at his relative funerals so really where did this come from? Lmao
Lol
Dallas is the most interesting man in the music industry. Good work, Vlad.
Poor Dallas. You can tell he was trying to be the peace maker but his artists kept putting him in situations. 😂😂😂 I can hear him now, “Oh lord, not again!”
reminds me of my immediate family...always got some ish goin that I gotta end up solving / fixing
Plus he's chilll af
Loved this interview ❤️ so much info was shared that I never knew.... He's a legend definitely 💯
The epitomy of "just be yourself and you'll be amazing", his reputation speaks for itself.
He's always been cool and humble, he's definitely a dude you can chill and talk about whatever. 😊
When i see Michael Jackson i click! And to the interviewer. You like to ask off the wall questions about Mike, I think YOU should be question sir
Super cool interview. Dallas Austin is so articulate and eloquent. No wonder he’s such a good song writer and in the hall.
There’s a lot of black people who are articulate.
@@MrFlyVisuals case in point, Dallas Austin being one of the many
Michael didn’t bleach his skin he had a skin disease (vitiligo)
Vitiligo makes skin color patchy and discolored not gradually brightening
He used whitening chemicals as a treatment. It’s common treatment for vitiligo. Jackson had vitiligo on his death certificate so it’s official
I was gonna say this
He seems like a really good dude!!! Good karma!!
That Mr Dj track he produced on Joyce Irby's album was incredible. And he was only 18! Wow!
Kwasi Kisiedu 16
I believe every word he says here. He seems like he knows who he is, humble, and takes pride in his work.
Smh
How old was he? Not that it makes a difference, expound.....
You gotta love that about him.
He should write a book. He came from a life of hardship but kept focus on doing good. how did he do it?
You're so right. He's a true inspiration.
All I wanna know is why is he named after two cities in Texas. If we can get to this in this interview, I’m for it! 😆
actually there is a city named Dallas in Georgia & most other states have a Austin as well...but being from Texas I always wondered that too 😂
Lol
MJ on 1:02:00 🌷
Thank you
Thank you 👶🏽 Jesus 1:02:58
Genius! Thank God you followed your dream ....and you understood what you needed to do for your family.
I met Fallas at the Jack The rapper music convention in '91. He was 19 and had just finished the first Boyz 2 Men album he always liked to talk shop and was very humble. nice guy. He looks the same
😎
Great interview, been a fan of Dallas' mixes since ABC but totally sold me after Ooooooohhh... on the TLC Tip, that album is still the JAM
😍😍
That album is amazing. The production and style is dope on every song.
He produced Troop
Still is bro!
Vlad: I remember I interviewed Jermaine Dupri
Me: Flashback alert!
Mj’s whole history album was bomb. I use to play that album in 6 grade. Man.
'Im pretended to be with Dallas Austin " "I'm 29 but I really look 89"
LMAOOOOOOOOOO 😂😂😂
Evil that so many greedy people in the industry don't care if you're starving to death as long as they're living in their mansions.
It’s crazy cuz I lived in Stone Mountain 3 doors down from A.B.C. In a complex called Timber Trace. It’s a honor to listen to this man tell his story, he is music history that’s still alive.
Talking about Michael Jackson 1:02:52
The guy interviewing really loses me with the OK OK OK OK he sounds so insincere
OK
Vlad is always really dry with the responses. He needs some journalist skills.
Ok, the interviewer sucks. He sounds like he is reading from ta list. He hasn't done any research on the subject. Please next time be prepared, not professional..
Interview of the year!
What a Gr8 dude. Chilled & real. Would have loved 2 hear about the Madonna & Highland Place Mobsters projects.
And Kandi said similar about boyz 2 men so it must be true
Humble buuttt years active starts in 89 but born in 1970 how was his first hit at 16
Vlad got the flashback in there at 1:07 only surprise being it took that long!!!
Me as a 57 year old African American male from Atlanta, listening to this interview is refreshing. What a talented brilliant mind Dallas Austin has, I'm really proud of you young man. As a US Army retire, most of the music you wrote and produced in the late 80's and 90's went with me around the world the military sent me and even to combat with live rounds incoming, your music got me through that. I can't imagine life not having any of the music you produced. Thank you for pursuing and mastering your craft and career and keep it going.
So Kandi was telling the truth about Boyz to men being horrible to work with
All this time, I knew of this Gentleman but I never knew HIM... Wow!!! This was a Great Interview!!! Another Bad Creation, etcetera..... Matter of Fact, he is the guy that Dianna Ross’ son portrayed on the TLC Movie. This is amazing... Great Job VLad👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
i learned more about TLC from this interview than I learned in 30 years of their entire career
LET'S BE CLEAR! HE PRODUCED *FOR* MICHAEL JACKSON! HE DIDN'T FKN' PRODUCE MICHAEL "THE-FK" JACKSON!!!! GET THAT CORRECTED!
Yep that's a huuuuge difference
Boyz2 men enters the chat....😂🤣
Interesting tidbit when this video was cut up into 6 or 7 different videos. In one of the videos Dallas said Chilli lost their first baby due to stress. Now in the full video that part is deleted. Maybe because Vlad and/or Dallas realize that chilli heself said she had an abortion. Most ppl remember her saying that on her reality show. Also the part about pebbles...pebbs must have threatened to sue
@The Dank News Podcast yea I believe she was a arrogant insecure bitxh like it was betrayed in the movie
Biggie and Michael Jackson ? I would’ve loved to see that
They have a song together
@@bethanygordon8609 this time around off Michael Jackson’s History album.
I wish when vlad brought producers on he would ask them bout career advice questions that help people get started in that industry. Instead of asking only about celebs!! Smh vlad probly dont even read comments anymore...
Pregnancy gives u a weird taste in your mouth for some women, may be why Chilli was spitting in a cup, one of my only negative parts of Pregnancy, I would just drink & eat til it stayed away for awhile
NO LEFT EYE SLANDER WILL BE TOLERATED
Especially when she explained her issues with Dallas and the issues she was having in her personal life on MTV
DFROMPG Everybody has been coming for Lefteye lately. I feel bad for her, legacy is being torn apart by those closest to her.
@@loveloyalty563 because they weren't really for her and I believe she was beginning to see that, which is why she tried to make her solo break and reinvent herself.
Miss A.H. True, I wish she got the shine she deserved when alive. Tboz and Chilli have been attacking her for years, now Dallas is coming for her. Even her ex Andre Rison is putting out a movie where he's probably going drag her too. They need to just leave the girl alone and let her RIP.
I think Lefteye was a beautiful person that had an unstable mental. A very misunderstood person that ppl just didn’t take the time to understand. That journey she took that ultimately cost her her life. Was for her to find herself and to deal wit personal demons she was battling.
Monica and Brandy 1998 = great singers with young girl issues.
I'm only 7 minutes in & thinking great interview
That Hip Hop/R&B sound/style in no way started with BBD. Go back to as early as 1986 with insane singer/songwriter Aulando Frazier to see he was doing this while he was in 7th grade. Performing this style AND well. It's interesting to see how some people happened to just gravitate towards other sectors of entertainment instead of continuing down the path of being a celebrity artist. Once you learn how FAKE the industry is, it's easy to see why so many talented people avoid the entertainment industry like the plague. It's all exploitation, smoke & mirrors; especially in the 90's.
Vlad mentions interviewing J.D. & then Vlad edits in some of the footage of the J.D. interview! The portion Vlad added in here Vlad is doing all of the talking and all we hear J.D. say is "YeaH!" Lmmfao!
Lol exactly! Vlad exploits the most minimal amount of agreement and switching the narrative to acting like they strongly felt that way on his own... Their actually saying yeah more like to the effect of "I'm heard that beginning of your point, continue so I can piece it all together"
Never knew I was dancing to this dude in the early 90’s till now. You def killed the game...
This has been my all-time best interview of yours. That dude is the book of life. You can tell he's done exactly what he was supposed to do with his life. He does not look like he's 50 years old. When your work feels like play...
Crossroads is a funeral song!??? Nah man! Probably for a gang member!
I know right
He reminds me of Shock G
Why
@@tashagotit7747 Their both producers, have the same style, and talk the same if that's what you're asking?
@@porschawilson4493 ok thank you sounds good I'll check into it
Here after watching Dallas Austin on that 85South Show ...
He talkin bout Eazy E was the first prominent black figure dealing with AIDS like Arthur Ashe ain’t right there. Typical
Amazing Hip Hop Record. He certified OG in da game, I admire the way he moves.
@ 1:02:46 That's where they start with the Michael Jackson talk.
Love this guy. And he was straight up about Michael Jackson
