In this clip, Dallas Austin discussed the impact Bell Biv Devoe had on meshing R&B with hip-hop, both sonically and visually. Dallas also touched on his experience as a teenage producer being hired to produce the entire Boyz II Men album. He was only 16 at the time but found himself in bad contracts which didn't allow him to reap the rewards of his creative labor.
This man did the entire Boyz II Men album at 16/17?!?! Certified legend as a teen. PERIOD.
He was 21. Born in 1970. Dudes almost 50.
Cooleyhigh Harmony was FIRE!
@@ChillydontCap Still, that's pretty insane!
"I AGREE'
@@ChillydontCap NO! He was 16/17 yrs old. Watch 5:20 - 5:25 again, he said it himself.
I did not know he did that whole album...each song sounded different...now that's a producer!!!!
💯 A real artist/creator
I didn't know that either.
Dallas is definitely a Legend... Never knew his back story, so this interview is a must watch
Shit was nice to know ...Very interesting made me wanna hear more...Shit was too short
People say R.Kelly is the R&B King, but they don't understand that Babyface OWNED R&B music back then! If these kids think The Dream & Ne-Yo are the GOAT Songwriters, they better research Babyface & his dominance as a Songwriter in the 90s!
TGF25 ALL FACTS it was almost law that if you performed R&B music in the 90’s you had to have at least 1 Babyface produced song.
JRod TV Word! A mid-tempo track from Babyface & a ballad from Diane Warren was a guaranteed way to sell 3 to 10 million albums in the 90s, easily!!!
Diane V Hell no! I respect Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis too, but most of their hits is mostly attached to Janet success! Babyface worked for many others from Bobby & Whitney to Madonna & Eric Clapton! Also you have to remember, Babyface was the creative, LA Reid was the business man! That's why when TLC was signed those bad contracts, they sued LA Reid & Pebbles, you notice they didn't sue Face, right? You disrespect Babyface, you gets NO HITS! Period! Also, Diane Warren 1st placement and hit, was Rhythm Of The Night by Debarge in the mid 80s! Her 1st song out the gate was a SMASH, and that's what caught David Foster's attention to begin with! It was the Debarge's biggest & last hit but Diane was just getting started!
Face and La was killing it late 80's early 90's but R Kelly was more versatile with his sound
MrWARBUCKS24 R.kelly's subject matter was more versatile than Babyface but Face was more dominant on the charts as a Songwriter in the 90s! That was my point!
People love writing Full Force out of the story. Full Force was mixing Hip Hop and R&B before Teddy Riley, BBD, and New Jack Swing.
Facts!
Vlad should interview Full Force.
Teddy Riley produced Keith Sweats album Make it Last Forever. Keith said in a interview that Teddy wanted to do rap beats only and Keith convinced him to produce rnb
Kizer he already did
@@TheNadroj10 Oh ok I didn't know that thanks gotta look that up.
Salute to Dallas for shouting out Take 6. They are the pioneers in a Capella/Harmony vocalism!!
They TRULY Are I Love Them!!!
I remember mom had one of they CD. Brian McKnight brother was in the group
Arbordaze California So was moniece’s (LAHH) father.
Mass Appeal I know the history you’re referring too. I stated they pioneered the modern day sound/style we heard from Boyz II Men, Az Yet, Naturally 7 etc. They was not the first but they brought it to the mainstream with their harmonies and arrangements winning multiple Grammy awards etc...
Yes!!
The fact that he cared nothing about the money speaks to his true genius as an artist.
I almost broke out in full 90’s dance mode when Ricky did the Poison beat
I listen to "Please don't go" so fukn much.......it's a really.... underestimated underrated song.......
Please Don't Go and Your Love are amazing songs
😍that's my cut.. .
Man I remember I was 15 back in 1991 and a friend of mine had a cd player which I had never seen b4 and I walked in and he was playing, "Please Don't Go" and I was looking like where's the tape player and he said no tape its on a cd and he showed me that he didn't have 2 rewind it, all he had 2 do was push a button and it'll go 2 the next song or start the song over again and I was amazed lol I went straight home and asked moms 4 a cd player and got it and the 1st cd I got was Boyz To Men and I still listen 2 this album at least once a day and my favorite joints are "Please Don't Go" and "Your Love"
I love that song... "Slowly, my eyes begin to see, that I need here and with me at all timesssss."
@@je39981 Yezzir...Had it playing this morning in the whip...A slept on classic
That Ricky Bell interview is a classic.
If you are a man of a certain age now "Please don't go" is LEGENDARY!!!!! Its the background music for basement parties. Dallas made classics! The Nayhoo was born 😭😭😂😂. The label paying $1500 was the best money ever spent on that song.
They bodied "Please Don't Go" on MTV Unplugged. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@duecetre87 Big Facts and I think everybody tried to get away with Jordan 11's to the Prom 😂😭
Johnny Gill did Nayhoo on "Can You Stand The Rain."
@@nguzoloveinlofi3832 True but they kind of used it so deliberately I guess as a nod to him but it was so excessive and used all over like a actual note 😭
@@d.felixphoto2260 I'm pretty sure Nayhoo was born in the church- cause that's where, traditionally, most Black singers learn to sing...
Vlad does more flashbacks than Family Guy 😂😂😂 He say huh? We believe you lol
A lot of people don’t know Vlad I actually named the group Boyz II Men💯

beyond corny and unoriginal
@@alfredjones9548 u too
Cosama Beast your corny for commenting that gtfo!,
Aha! Clarence Avant stikes again! The Black Godfather is highly recommended if you haven't seen it yet 💪🏾✊🏾
@Dorie Dorsey it truly is. The man literally had his hands in everything. Very inspiring.
Him and Devante Swing ran the songwriting industry in the 90s!!!
Hell yeah Dallas was ATL first legend, he helped put us on the map.
Please Don't Go is my favorite song from the Cooleyhigharmony album. The entire album was amazing!
The fact that dude got $1500 is why Jay Z grabs every bag available. Old school artist made the best music but had no sense at all. Theres no way I'm working for free.
I wanna crap but Ima kick it like the Old Timers Shot it 2 me , "all money ain't good money. " sounds ludicrous but time and chance always make those same words echo somewheres in the dark ...
Fuck jay z.
The Force MDs were the first R&B/Hip Hop group in music history
Preach
I don't normally say this but...FACTS!!!!!
Thanks Vladimir!!! I've been waiting for this interview. Keep it up!
Boys 2 Men first album Cooley High Harmony went Diamond.
Dallas got ripped off big time
Kevin Foston i am sure he is getting points
Sam Brooks nah cuz he aint..i talk to him yesterday
Kevin Foston sad
Soul II Soul was one of the first groups to use Hip Hop and R&B using the Biz Markie "Picking Boogers " beat as well. The track wss "Keep on Moving"
DJ ONE MILLION That was a drum loop from Graham Central Station called “Jam”. So, without that, neither one of those songs would’ve been created.
@@thenewfunkmovement2553 Yes I know it was a sample. My point is that it was a hip hop sample with a actual R&B group singing over a sample, the same original way that a hip hop artist rapped over a sample, without a originally made best or a band. They were the first group that I heard that did it that way.
DJ ONE MILLION Okay, gotcha...well in that case, Full Force came before Soul II Soul. They sampled Run DMC’s “Peter Piper” for “Ain’t My Type of Hype” in 1985.
Dallas and Austin are both cities in Texas...😃
😂😂😂 Really bro?
@@truckinron1929 yep...😅😄
Based on his name, someone would think that he's from Texas. Likely a Texan.
Well Dallas does connect to Atlanta by way of I-20, hence could be a name connection there!😕
@@bubbaveaux* I 35 connects
Dallas talks kinda like Dennis Rodman IMO
A healthy Dennis Rodman!
Really One Of The First R&B Hip Hop Songs Merged Together Was Just Coolin LeVert Feat. Heavy D.
RIP
Wanna say that song that's like I need by bsvm came out
Yep that ish jammed!
DOPE original hip hop & R&B Producer Golden Era
True story about Poison. V-103/Ryan Cameron debuted Poison on a radio segment called Rush It or Flush it. The song got flushed. Atlanta hated that record...at first. Ryan Cameron never gave up on that record, and kept playing it. When the video dropped, the song blew up my on the radio
Had to be when...booty bass was all the south knew...ha ha ha.....
The mesh of rap and RnB preceded BBD. Some notable tracks Lakeside (Fantastic Voyage), New Edition (Candy Girl), Bobby Brown (Don’t be cruel, Every little step I take)...should I go on? The only difference being BBD being quite edgy.
To me Michel'le and Dr. Dre was the melding of R&B and Hip Hop, not to mention Jody Watley and Rakim...
Don't sleep on jody watley n Rakim. Their song Friends was pure fire.
Chili’s baby daddy 💁🏽♀️
damn......lol u REALLY b on it
Uh.. ok thanks for that
Who doesn’t know this...
Lol, I was thinking about chill while watching this
Motown Philly Was Dat🕺🏾Joint😎Especially When It Got Played On House Party🎉2😃
(It's Nothing Like Hearing Music🎵 From A Era Where Certain Songs Caught Ur Attention Off Of Different Melodies)
I remember when poison dropped I knew music was changing, we were coming out of the late 80's into the early 90's, and like Ricky said that snare was crazy, tat, tatitat, tititatitatat!
I was born in 80. Ill say hiphop/r&b 1992-2002 is my fav music period. But 88-92 may be my 2nd fav. Underrated music period
I'm glad he didn't kill his brother. We might witness the amazing talent he was blessed with.
I love that first album so I love your work bro
ABC sold 2.5 million copies with two platinum singles
I can listen to this dude all day
“I negotiated his contract”
TK Kirkland
That was Boys II Men's best album!
You right by far they best album
Jay SouthPhil deflee!
Nah. II might be the best RnB album ever.
@@Mrprich Naw not R&B overall, but just the best Boys II Men album.
@Great Lakes .... exactly...after the success of End of The Road, every song they recorded was in the same vein, which turned off a lot of their fans, including me.
Do your research people. Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis are the baddest producers PERIOD.
That's Not Research to be done...That's an Opinion Sweety. I agree with You They were good but Everybody may not feel that way..
When you talking about the first RnB and Rapper please mention Chaka Chan and Melle Mel ,I feel for you
Dallas 👍🏼👍🏼 Is official, one of those main staples, real programmer
For Vlad not being a black man, he sure knows and loves our culture. And yea he capitalizes off of it, but he respects it and gives great informative interviews. I can't be mad at him.
I'm Back, had to screen the Posion video to the TV. 🎶🎶 Dallas Austin Da Great
Jesus man I'm so grateful to come up in the 90s.. absolutely everything was amazing and Dallas is a major reason why and to do what he did at 17 is damn near unbelievable..BBD i remember running around when i was 6 yelling Poison POISON POISON!!! before i was even fluent in English... Fatality and Flawless Victory was major with me too
OMG $1500 isnt ish!!! Good he got the lawyers to get his $$$$. He got all his publishing!!!!! I just checked that ish. Dallas is good. If you are a producer, dont sign them work for hire contracts like fake producers like Daz did to a real producer like Soopafly. Mfs dont even know he did all of Daz's productions.
Wow
Soopafly didn't do all daz production
Yeah there album sold damn near over 10 million in the U.S. alone and he didn't get paid from that? Smdh
I'm from Philadelphia and never been a Boyz to men fan. I was a jodeci fan at heart. I believe what he is saying. Boyz to men strikes me as being big headed when they were at top in the 90's. I saw one on South Street when they were hot in the 90's. He was standing there. Forgot which one but he look like he was stuck on himself. I just looked at him and kept driving. Lol
@Snagz J for me it was Jodeci
Silk
Mint Condition
I just was feeling Boyz To Men in the 90's. Not trying to hate but it is what it is.
I think it was the way that Nathan used to vibrate his neck when he sang his notes that let me know...
I mean they from Philly wanya is from richard allen projects I ain't surprised that they where arrogant
Dallas Austin is a LEGEND!
Everything about that 1st B2M album was properly done. Each song was placed perfectly on that joint. Not one bad song on the joint. Hit play, let it roll.
They were mixing Rap and R&B since the first New Edition. People keep trying to find the first artist to do it but it wasn't called Rap or Hip-hop when it started.
Teena Marie straight bust a rap on Square Biz in the 70s.
He took a shot at Ricky- he said he was off key on "Poison?" Rickeeey!!! (Cuba Gooding Jr. voice)...
😂😂😭I was like what is he talking about? Ricky been the glue holding that harmony together. ESPECIALLY after Bobby left.
Yes, artists that sing well make mistakes too. A producer like Dallas knows when that happens.
Somebody get Chili on line 1!
😂 please don't he cheated on her
I still remember Poison to this day. Classic
I would hope so lol
They was robbing them guys big time! SMH
shout out to Take 6 , the greatest vocal group
Can’t really hate these young artists for getting their money despite putting out subpar music. For years they have taken our very best & given them pennies. But we can blame them for how they spend it - one day you will be 30s, 40s & 50s. Enjoy it but save ya ass off!!!!
That cooleyhighharmony album sold 12 million in the united states and 16 million worldwide and he got 1500....damn
Ezekiel 23:28
For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated
Ezekiel 23:29
And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms
Ezekiel 23:30
I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, a nd because thou art polluted with their idols.
Ezekiel 23:31
Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand
Ezekiel 23:32
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much
Ezekiel 23:33
Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria
Ezekiel 23:34
Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD
Ezekiel 23:35
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms
Ezekiel 23:36
The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations
Ezekiel 23:37
That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.
I hope you young people are paying attention and taking notes.
*Damn the industry stay robbing MF legally and getting away with it lol*
Not no more. This is what you call "paying the price" so people like migos and boosie can walk around with 100 chains on.
Joyce ibry was meeting in the ladies planning something real creul
Poison!!!!!!!Dope!!!!!
Need a Dallas Austin produced BBD album
Wonder if he owns his publishing. It's a shame the the older black label execs didn't show the young ones the way around the industry!!
Why the hell would he do this interview with his wife?
I was wondering why she was there, unless they talked about their relationship in a different segment.
Support
Boys II Men were the hip hop temptations
more like four tops, JODECI WAS THE TEMPS

I love that he KNOWS Music...frfr

Teddy Riley created a whole genre off of his production “New Jack Swing”, Babyface had a signature winning sound, and Jam and Lewis were the most versatile! They were the Cream of the Crop. If you couldn’t get or afford them, then u went to R Kelly, P Diddy, Jermaine Dupree. Then the Dallas Austins and ur third tiered producers. Those top three crafted the 90’s sound and provided surefire hits!!!
I'm glad he said he was in bad contracts. He did a lot of work for little pay, and not even royalties make up the scarifies some end up tied up in the bullshit. All the hits Teddy Riley had, he never had true financial compensation. The money is always a issue!
Mr. Austin, you forgot to tell how you curiously gave all of Troop's production to Boyz II Men. Out w/ the old and in w/ the new. Ain't that right, Mr. Austin? Anyhow, I loved Boyz II Men's first album. My favorites are _Uhh Ahh_ and _Please Don't Go._
Oh yeah I forgot about that shit. He did produce a few songs for Troop. I liked I will always love you, that was my jam.
See, and then, for whatever reason, he gave they music to Boyz II Men. Most artists/groups have 3 to 5 years in the spotlight and then it's on to the next wave of artists/groups. Boyz II Men had 6 years. _I Will Always Love You_ is my jam. My favorite is _Give it Up._
✊✊✊ AUSTIN IS A GENIUS A TRUE PIONEER OF THE GAME👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇸🇻
Bitches??????
Greatness personified!
Is it me or is Jayden smith going hard AF on that commercial before the video plays
I got a trump commercial so I wouldn’t know
Man! @Stefan i keep getting that same damn commercial too, rather i watch RUclips on my phone or on the PS4 on the TV...here comes this Pinky and the Brain head ass with more of his great acting skills like he some trap rapper! #wedontbelievedawg
Y'all need to step your game up and get youtube premium. I haven't seen a commercial for months
Platinum Hustle high key. I REFUSE to pay for that shit. Paying for no ads? Sure. Paying for the app to play in the background? Go fuck yourself RUclips.
@@dericklewis4075 and what color easy bake oven would you like to be sent to you, so you can make you a cookie and give it to your damn self. 😹😹🤭🤭
R Kelly was the producer to go to when you were already an established star, but Babyface was the one taking new talents to stardom.
WRONG....Aaliyah was not an established star,..he wrote and produced her whole album and TURNED her into a platinum selling star
This dude is a GENIUS
These new interviews are getting really good sir. This , jalen rose China Mac lately u been avoiding the fuck kids and interviewing interesting people
Why cant We all Just Be Great... all Of em Rich Off their passion...#GOATS
What kind of contract was that?
Okay time to speak some real. Teena Marie was the first person I heard merging rapping and singing and she was a white woman, the second person I heard do that was Bobby Brown, after that came BBD and they really took it to another level and changed da game
Teena and Deborah Harry (Blondie) were two of the first, at a similar time, and both were white women.
Deborah even had very early Fab Five Freddy in the video.
49 years young👀 😍😍
BEAUTIFUL
Hey Dallas u r a fucking Genius "Hidden Gem"..

Hip hop has always somewhat merged with R&B. Taana Gardner was singing & rappin in Heartbeat in 1981.
Actually, rene and Angela collaborated with kurtis blow years earlier.heavy D collaborated with Janet Jackson the year before.
It's crazy now rap is everywhere around the world
How was New Edition Michael Bivins group when they were kids when they got started?????
