----------
In this clip, Dallas Austin detailed how he began running his first record label, Rowdy Records, in partnership with LA Reid. He spoke on how nervous he was at the start of the venture and explained how it became burdensome.
Dallas Austin went on to tell how Monica took off after her smash single "Don't Take It Personal" on Rowdy Records.
The more I find out in this interview what historic artists/productions Dallas was behind, the more I realize he's a musical genius.
💯
These Dallas Austin stories are good. #salute
Facts
What a dope guy..too damn smart😊
I'd love to see a documentary on him.
Agreed.... Love hearing stories like the ones he’s told so far throughout the interview.
Dallas is a great storyteller. I like how Vlad just let him speak.
You can tell Dallas knows how sh*t. He's lived it.
DaveSincere ATL movie was based on his life
@@sbrooks729
I completely forgot about that movie. Drumline movie with Nick Cannon was based on his life too.
Crazy part, I live in Atlanta. Lol.
@@DaveSincere Wow. That's Cool I never knew those Movies were Based on His Life even though I love Both of Those Movies and Have watched Them Many times!! Big-Ups to Your Home Town!
dallas is one of the better vlad interviews ive watched in a while
Real Talk!!
Tory probably top 5 interviews all year!!!
Tory until he ask about 2pac
William Spotwood I am just waiting on a Tupac question. Vlad is obsessed with Tupac
They got a lot better than jus putting up snitch interviews
Toni Braxton, Beck, Monica, The Foo Fighters!!!
This man is a Beast in the music game!!!
Dont the biggest acts he has produced for "TLC and Boyz II Men.
Don't forget Pink's Mizunderstood album! That was an underrated Classic!
Talk about blessings on blessings! He had amazing opportunities in his life and he always took them.
Some of them.. lol
Vlad you need to try and get an interview with Hype Williams.Thats would be a nice next move.
I would watch that
I need a Mc Hammer interview too. Hype would be insane dope tho.
I would love to hear the mind behind every major hip hop artists music video and the making of Belly. And I would he down for a Hammer interview.
Yeah. I hope Vlad keeps interview more 90s and 2000s legends. Get Hype Williams, Timbaland, Jimmy Jam, etc. on here
NEVER
Dallas Austin needs to write 📝 his own book 📗
Your own record label at 19/20 years old.. That's insane!
This is the only interview that I'm really into. I like the way vlad just let him speak. Good job
Listen to the key words Dallas Austin said. They didn’t want to let him go. He wanted to be free of Clive Davis.
Marc Jayson exactly I caught that too
Fishbone! Now that was an outside of the R&B box group! Don't forget Living Colour, Cult of Personality. 90s music was so great and diverse.
Black Rock Coalition was amazing.
Head bangers! 😄
If I was on a ladder with one leg I would not trust LA Reid to hold it for me.
😂🤣
Facts!
He is a snake !
Illegal -"Back in the day when I was a teenager"🎶🔥
Domino Effexx we getz bizzy
I thought I was the only one who was waiting for him to mention them.
The songs were " i gets bizzy" and " head or gut"
I'm surprise Vlad didn't make an episode with Dallas Austin based on Illegal.
These interviews could be some of the best sleeper interviews of the year, I almost didn’t watch these
I am hooked on Dallas’ interviews 😁😁
Dallas does an informative interview. I enjoyed it!
Me too lol
Monica was 13....WOW
SALUTE to monica FrFr
And some of it was recorded when she was 12 as well.
Dallas needs to write a book.... and I think another movie.. or maybe a TV Series 100%
thankful516 no he don’t. He lies too much

Nope; it’s rule Number ONE.
VLAD! Dallas interview Top 5 of 2019! Maybe Top 3. Great choice.🙏🏾
Dallas Austin looks like Prince and sounds like Dennis Rodman
Kwasi Kisiedu he definitely sounds like Rodman lol 😂
Vlad making us drool 🤤 with this piecemeal interview 😂😂
I wish he would just release the whole thing. I hate it when it breaks them up like this
It's a strategy that's working for him and keeping us hungry lol
I think he does this to get his views up on the channel and then we turn around and watch the full interview and gets him even more views.
Dallas interviews are a breath of fresh air!!!!
I just realize dallas Austin is older than vlad by 2 years dayum!!!
So that's how Monica ended up signed directly to Arista interesting!
Lol memba Soulja Boy said he was youngest CEO in history and he was like 21-22.. 😂😂😂
Haha Soulja never did his research he just said stuff lol He said he was the first artist ever on youtube when that was cleary not facts
He was pretty close he like a younger tk
Keef was the youngest CEO..
@@haneefahson973 Fam anything past 2010 doesn't really count in that department. Literally EVERY rapper that comes out since like 2011 has their "own label" now since it way cheaper. Me myself registered my own label in 2010 only cost me $165 and I got tax ID and everything and I was 19 at the time lol
@@leseanwalston7916 I agree bro but none of them was 16
Sounded like LA Reid saw the potential of ATL Hip Hop but didn't want to share that pie with Dallas right away. Moved him to New York to see if he can discover and produce east coast talent while he worked with TLC and Outkast knowing they were a gold mine. It's business.
That might be true to an extent. La took Outkast, Goodie Mob, and the whole Dungeon who would've been a great fit at Rowdy.
Legend in the music industry. No doubt about it
He signed FISHBONE!? Now that is awesome
The guys behind the music 💪🏻
This dude looks like he 28 years old lol..money keeps you young if you smart 👌🏻 I’d love to sit down with this dude for a couple hours and learn some stuff
"Illegal" the group had 2 boys one of them was name "Hershey loc" he left rowdy records and stared dissing them with deathrow records. There's a diss with daz dillinger , Hershey loc, the doc , snoop dogg
@@uglykid8061 and Lil Jamal aka Mally G
@@uglykid8061 illegal was lil Malik and and lil Jamal. After their album in 93 they were going to release solo albums on rowdy records. Jamal (aka Mally G) released his solo album in 95, while lil malik aka Mr Malik recorded an album but it wasnt released. During that time Mr Malik was spending time out on West coast with snoop Dogg who is some sort of relation to him(cousin) and he appeared on a few tracks on death row albums Inc doggystyle. Later in the 90s Mr Malik changed his name to Hershey loc - but I think he later changed it back to mr Malik again!
@@uglykid8061 Da Youngsta's were a Philly group and didn't have anything to do with NBN.
to think I almost did not watch this interview! I'm glad I clicked play
Since Dallas mentioned them Vlad should do a interview with members of Fishbone. Living Colour too.
He reminds me of Dennis Rodman
I was in Atlanta when Dallas was setting up his labels, etc.. He gave the Cliffnotes of what happened, because there was a lot more to that story. Lol
I didnt even know he had like 3 lables. I also knew he let Erick Sermon produce a lot of his acts..
Yep. I was there when they were producing "Illegal". The baddest kids in the industry. Lol! Erick did mad work down here, and dropped a lot of jewels on people. Dallas also helped Diamond D get on with work down in Atlanta.
@@esseen100 were you around when they produced Shadz of Lingo?
@@logent80 "Kickin' mad flavorz! Uhhh huhh!" Lol! I got along really well with Tank, the bald headed dude in the group.
How did Green Eye Bandit & Diamon hook up with Dallas? Dont see connection.
LA Reid played Dallas on Outkast Bruh
Facts
Facts.
Said some shit like I thought you wouldn’t like them as an excuse. LA made millions off of Outkast smh. Dallas got screwed on that deal
can we PLEASE get a pastor Troy interview vlad
He's spilling all of the tea!
That's messed up that L.A. Reid signed Outcast, ATLANTA artists at that, knowing full well they should have been Dallas's breakout artists. Shrewd!!
Tina McKenna they wanted to sign with LaFace not with Dallas
shit like this is why babyface stopped really fucking with la reid
quiet as kept, they were never really that close (as he and daryl simmons was)
Dallas is keeping it so real and spilling all kinds of tea.
Clive Davis and LA Reid. I don’t even want to know...
I dont want a Record company?????? Thats hella funny.
I should of approached Dallas on some business opportunities back then, but I had no idea he was even up here in NY. I only had a chance to meet the producer from Dem Franchise Boyz. Someone stole his shoes, and I gave him a brand new pair of Tims before he made his way back to ATL.
Overstanding God cool story bro 🙄🙄🙄😒
Who wants a in dept MC Hammer interview??
Popcorn chicken...
Yes, but not with Vlad.
This guy is well grounded and really knows what he like and doesn't like. What 20 yr. old into music doesn't want his own record label.
Dallas Austin is like the Dennis Rodman of record producers.
Foo Fighters and Beck hell yaaaaaa
You give excellent interviews, Mr. Austin. You ain't beatin' around the bush which makes for a dope interview through and through. I feel you on goin' to New York. The first time I went, I was a lil' nervous. I'm from the West Coast so it's just a different world. I went to visit family on my dad's side. It was such a trip to hear folks speak. They were speakin' like Nas and them. My dad was like _Gone and talk to yo' cousins. Ain't nobody gon bite you._ Anyway, enough about me. Dang, they really did want Monica to be the next Whitney Houston. Labels back then didn't understand what that truly was. Those were big shoes to fill. _Cain't_ nobody sing like Whitney, much less be like her. Monica was way too young to be in perfect and in ball gowns. I _cain't_ wait to hear Illegal stories. I loved them. Oooh, I really hope y'all touched on Kris Kross. I know that's Mr. Jermaine Dupri's group, but I'm just dying to know *what happened.* My theory is that they got older and the label simply decided to move on. Perhaps they couldn't compete w/ _No Limit,_ _Bad Boy_ and _Death Row._ I was feelin' they last album, but for them to just disappear w/o an explanation was sorta devastating.
LaChele
Kris Kross, let’s be real here, were little more than A NOVELTY ACT; swathed in the (backwards) baggy clothing of that era.
The question was _What _*_REALLY_*_ happened to them?_
Over the years, since being with Chilli. I’ve always wondered why in the hell was this guy named two cities of Texas.😂 Even though it’s creative and nice.
We need Xscape on here real shit and a full Keith Sweat interview not like what he did before
Why was I watching one of their music videos last night? The song with MC Lyte lol
@@NickCTaylor Keep on Keep on of the Sunset Park soundtrack 😊
Tiny did interviews and talked about xscape.
Love, and hate, stories about ppl who were given these opportunities but never really wanted them. When others strive or got to school or worked years in the industry but never got these connections and opportunities. Must be nice to have options.
I think the unique thing here is extreme TALENT. And talent when few people had it. People go to school and may not be good.
A lot of these people are musical savants, they can listen to someone play an instrument and within a few weeks, master playing that same instrument without any training.
I'm with you on that. Has not as much to do with talent (though Dallas is hella talented) but the industry really does circle its own wagons instead of taking the time to match opportunities with people who want and are ready for them most. But I understand that no one really has that kind of time to search. It really is all about who you know...
Arthouse Digital.
Better yet, who knows YOU.
The interviews are on point, Vlad have some water on deck don't let the interviews get dry mouth.
I had no idea who this dude was but he’s made some really good music. He’s super talented & under the radar. I wonder what he’s doing now. Where did he get his training? Like all his ideas, vision, & execution is amazing. I’d just like to know how he developed his skills at such a young age.
Malik was running with the Doggpound. Made some great music with Warren G too. He should’ve blew up. He was nice.
I guess we fixing to see a Unsung special this is all old news Everytime they dig up old tea here comes a movie special 😂😂😂😂😂
Everyone did amazing so young
Dallas produced my favorite band Fishbone. He is super underrated!
One of the best interviews Vlad has done
Damn he got a lot of really good breaks. On top of being really talented which he is, he must have really knew how to play the game
I remember Dallas was in the group Highland Place Mobsters.
This man needs to just tell his stories!! I believe Babyface didn’t know about OutKast either...lol but *Highland Place Mobsters* was the best!!! Most slept on and underrated group in the history of music...
Doagae Porbeni he knew about Outkast
Babyface and L.A. Reid weren't seeing eye to eye around the time Outkast and Goodie Mob signed. Highland Place Mobsters 1st album is a classic imo
Antonio was so 90s.
Yo what about Illegal? Malik & Jamal?
Please put Chim Chim out on Vinyl... Fishbone 4 life!
Chile LA Reid and his wife were both trifling, greedy ass scammers 🙄
I like this guy stories.👌😎👍
He makes it seem like he had ceo level power and control put on him,that didn't come from nowhere,he seeked it and endlessly grind hard.
Why he always fake timid?
What! Dallas supposed to have Outkast
He is such an innovator
Im too focus on the screensaver 👀
This was the perfect time to bring up ilegal
Hidden Gem...awesome ..
I wished he would have spoke on signing illegal...
Wait!!!! You mean this guy couldn't find a hip hop act in New York in the 90's????? GTFO!!!
Geo Hurtado it wasn’t Atlanta his hometown.
@@erickespinoza9155 If that's not the laziest excuse ever.
Da King and I who were on his label were from New York though.
What about Illegal "The Untold Truth"?
Smart and talented kid!
ILLEGAL The Untold Truth Classic album
I like Dallas. Did great things. But I can almost guarantee he wishes he would have went about things a Lil different with his label.
Vlad interviews are the best when he shuts the f******
It’s better when Vlad lets the interviewers speak. This is fantastic, it shows you how shady record labels are.
Dallas had a budget of 1 million a year for his label, and yet, they pay the artist around 3 cents and album.
Shady ass business!
And LA, going behind Babyface back like that was some low down shit.....that’s why Babyface probably DID fuck Pebbles!
That’s what the streets said anyway.
Vlad what audio lavs do you use for your interviews?
They won't tell you but will always tell you to go be great.
I would suggest going to a Barnes and Noble or wherever you get books and grab an audio engineering for dummies... or searching on UA-cam. Whichever is easier.
@@mrrinkusu lol. Thanks. A shame most aren't helpful. Thanks again.
@@mrrinkusu Facts! Some small youtubera help. The bigger people never help unless pay them too.
What about Illegal?
I wonder why Illegal wasn't mentioned......
I just realized this nigga name is two cities in Texas!! 😂😂
(Only person 2 pop off was Monica) he said that like she wasn’t the biggest thing back in the Day
Yeah; folk here getting all misty-eyed over their pet minor-league acts. Nothing wrong with that, but there’s reasons why only a handful of acts make it REALLY big.
Kay You her track record says otherwise. She was one of the biggest
Dallas austin aint got no chill
:47 when the weed hit you.
How did he get started? He signed THE DEAL.
I think I know which deal you're talking about.
😈
DA the legend
Rowdy didn't have a proper brand. Illegal, Monica, Caron Wheeler, Fishbone. It was everywhere
Do a interview with lance rivera @djvlad
Tone loc....please...or nikki d
Didn't know rowdy was in New York first..
La Reid is a smart man
Whoa Dallas did Fishbone?😮
I bet you didn't know Jamal fades em all

He sounds like a very talented producer but not much of a businessman. He doesn't seem to be in charge of his gifts or his career.
I agree. He is a douche. He tells everybodys business and lifts up himself. He is a user but doesnt know he is being used
He's a producer how business savvy do you expect him to be? He's on the creative spectrum of the music industry. People that run the business spectrum of the music industry usually are the least creative people there is.
It's easy to talk about what somebody should have done with their record company, 20 years later. It's common knowledge these days, back then not so much.
The few artists who were really business-savvy was Michael Jackson, Prince, and James Brown. And they're all dead, or were killed.
@@C-Lyfe85 wisdom is not something that just came to be in the 21st century
@@C-Lyfe85
Creative or not it's his responsibility to learn the business side to protect his own interests. The "hey $1,500 was a lot of money to me" mentality just wasn't very smart. Maybe he should have stayed in school and learned the business, like Prince did.
There were and probably ARE many artists who are also astute business people. Tyler Perry, Sam Cooke, Ray Charles,, Maurice White, Berry Gordy (he was a songwriter), Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Deniece Williams, Jay-Z, Dr Dre, Ice Cube, L.A. Reid, just to name a few. Unlike you I won't pretend to know them all and they're not all dead.
@@ertfgghhhh
I didn't say all that. To that end he sounds like a guy who isn't accustomed to being in front of the camera. He doesn't seem to be aware of what he should and probably shouldn't say.
