    ON BLAST!! BoyzIIMen’s Nathan Morris Drags Dallas Austin After VladTV Interview… (VIDEO)

    Aug, 30 2019 | Written by ATLien

    Super producer Dallas Austin was a crucial part of the success of Boyz II Men as he extensively produced their first album “Cooleyhighharmony”.

    Austin recently did an interview with VladTV recently, where he shared how he chose a more limited role in working with the group on their second album due their inflated egos and he gave specific examples of how fame changed the group.

    Dallas’ statements also struck a nerve with at least one Boyz II Men member, who hit the gram with a scathing response.

    Monica Brown & Dallas Austin Celebrate 20th Anniversary of ‘Ms Thang’… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Jul, 20 2015 | Written by ATLien

    Monica MsThang 20 Years SFTA 2015

    Monica Brown has always been one of my favorite Atlanta artists and just a few days ago, she celebrated the 20th anniversary of her first album, Ms. Thang!


    Producer Dallas Austin, who is hailed as the driving force behind TLC’s rise to stardom, saw Monica do a rendition of Whitney Houston?s ?Greatest Love of All? and was so impressed that he took her under his wing and signed her to his Arista Records-distributed label, Rowdy Records.

    It was on July 18, 1995, that Monica?s debut album hit shelves to much fanfare and acclaim for her strong vocals and feisty swagger. Ms. Thang peaked at No. 7 on?Billboard?s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and produced multiple hit singles, like ?Don?t Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days),? and the double A-Side single, ?Before You Walk Out of My Life? and ?Why I Love You So Much.? Both singles peaked at No. 1 on the?Billboard?Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, making Monica the youngest artist in history ? she was 14 at the time ? with consecutive No. 1 songs.

    Both Dallas and Monica hit the net recently to reminisce about the album that started it all for the talented songstress.

    For younger viewers unfamiliar with TLC?s history, the film served as an introduction to arguably the biggest girl group in music history, but for long-time fans of the former trio, it was a heartbreaking story of how the music industry can chew you up and spit you out if you don’t know your worth.

        PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to t PART 2 (see previous post) — Listen closely to the words that came out of Colorist Claudia’s own mouth. Again… can someone please point out where I’ve ever LIED on this woman??? When have I ever played the victim?? And how on earth did her being a colorist get to be about Nene Leakes?? Colorist Claudia is delusional and for those who are wondering, she left this lengthy voice message via DM to one of my subscribers (a complete stranger to both of us) who innocently asked her why she won’t take accountability for her words. I’m done beating this dead horse but after over 15 years blogging, one thing I have NEVER done is lie. When you find one, let me know. Until then, I’m always gonna call it how I see it whether you like it or not!!! #straightfromthea #atlien #atlienlive #claudiajordan #foxsoul #rhoa #bravotv #teagif #colorism #blackhistorymonth #truthhurts
        PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jord PART 1 - Is it MY fault that colorist Claudia Jordan has continuously said colorist hateful things?? Her words have all been caught on tape but she has always placed the blame on someone else. First it’s her “boyfriend” who leaked a tape of her saying racist, colorist things and then it’s me, a blogger who GOOGLED the colorist hateful things that she’s said. When does she take accountability? I’m confused. Instead of playing the victim Caren Colorist Claudia, perhaps you should address the colorist racist things that you say and continue to say online. Don’t worry, just like you have a platform, so do I. And I will keep my foot on your neck for as long as you continue to accuse me of lying on you. WHERE IS THE LIE???? #straightfromthea #atlienlive #foxsoul #claudiajordan #colorism #teagif #rhoa #bravotv #blackhistorymonth (let me know if y’all want me to post part 2 if this clip)
