    TLC's Lisa Left Eye Lopes brought the adolescent Rap duo Illegal to Dallas Austin. He signed the group to his Rowdy Records and put Jamal and Malik in the studio with legends. However, things started to go wrong with Illegal when the guys stayed in California and started rolling with Suge Knight's Death Row Records. Dallas details flying to L.A. to meet with Suge and attempt to retrieve the guys after a half-million dollar investment from Clive Davis and Arista. Dallas Austin recalls the story in this clip from part 2 of his Questlove Supreme interview.

    illegal was dope...Malik had the illest flow for a kid his age and he had a verse on a song from Doggystyle but Mally G ended up really stepping his game up ..." Fades Em All" was incredible ...in fact, his debut album was solid...Def Squad was a great fit for him!

    I'm Migit from Jena-si-qua. (LEFT EYE PRODUCTIONS) along with Blaque..And we and Jamal lived with Lisa(Left Eye) in Marietta Ga....on Windy Hill Rd. He was a little bad azz. When I saw him at Lisa's funeral he looked like he was doing bad. Hope he's OK. That's like our little brother...Lisa got him from Philly.

    Excellent interview. So much stuff I had no clue about. No disrespect although I gotta say this. I wish Laiya would tone it down just a bit. There are times where she interrupts the guest unnecessarily and they aren't able to complete their point. I dig the conversational atmosphere of these interviews although at times there can be a bit too much cross talk, especially when some are having a fan moment and forget that there are thousands of other people listening to this interview. Although I can appreciate the difficulties in striking a good balance with conversational tones and pure interview style, it's not easy although there is room for improvement and a bit of restraint regarding hosts chiming in loudly and unnecessarily.

      @@CinqueMalcolm Then Kriss Kross at 12 and 13 were also MEN, right ? and more then him since they got their Platinum earlier.Sounds ridicilous huh?....Neurobiologically, adulthood starts no earlier then 28yrs, provided you invested in emotional control.Both 12 and 20yr olds are boys , ones a small boy, the other a big boi.
