Dallas Austin To Introduce Official ATL Theme Song Tonight

dallas austin.jpg
Producer Dallas Austin has written a city theme song, scheduled to debut at halftime of Monday night's football game between the Falcons and the Jets. I'm assuming and hoping that Dallas worked with some credible artists on this now that all of us ATL residents have to attach our names to this.

I don't know where the idea came from but I was cool with "Welcome to Atlanta" or "Players Ball" myself. I was even getting used to Field Mob and Luda's "Georgia On my Mind".

It sounds like political propoganda now that the mayor is suddenly interested in rap music? But hey, how many other cities out there have the courage to adopt a hip hop theme song, especially in these times when even the NBA has taken a stand against the hip hop movement by implementing a conservative dress code.

Yeah dude might bring back them ABC cats or something. And that Dress Code in the NBA is racially biased.

Yeah...right...I love ATL with a passion. But this cocksucker is just
trying to capitalize off of Vick, the
Falcons' success, and the fact that
this is Monday Night Football. Yo
Dallas-go make some tracks- let Outkast
introduce the official ATL Theme song.

We really don't like you.

Whatever!
Fuck D.A. he is not credibile!(EGO)
*Copy Cat Producer*kiss ass producer

ABC=the Boyz (Copy Cat)1 album
Da Backwood Boyz=Outkast (Copy Cat)

what happen to illegal?(malik) was to hot for dallas austin,he could not handle him!

He said that "Da Backwood Boyz are the best rap duo to come out of ATL."
(Outkast was-you dumb ass !).

The GA Song by Field Mob/Luda is hot!

Dallas Austin has an EGO! He doesnt like when other people(artist/producers/writers) out do him or do things first!

And the only reason he is doing a song for GA is because the city of atlanta-mayor is trying to use "ATL" as the official logo for atlanta, which comes from the airport, and was used in a lot of early outkast,kilo,a-town players, kizzy rock,dj smurf,raheem the dream,g-mob songs!

young people,old school hip-hopers get an education and stop looking up to these industry names. A lot of these cats are dumb(h.s. drop outs, home school, or no school negros) and lucked up and got into the industry before the people with real talent got in. (this is coming from an street educated and college educated man that works in the industry.

I respect the dress code. It has nothing to do with racial because the NBA is nothing but a big ass plantation anyway. Mike Jordan said it himself. They need a dress code because these niggas don't know how to act when they get large amounts of money. And also, Who the HELL is Dallas Austin? Serious people, I do not know this nigga from ABC, looks like Marcus Houston's older brother. And you're right Mr.T, most of these industry pricks are dumb, that's why they have management, and accountants doing all the finances for them. I believe no-one should look up to a man or woman, look up for God or whomever you worship.

PEACE

Man Dallas Austin has been a behind the scenes man in the music business for a long time and he has had plenty of success. To speak negatively of him in the industry is pure hating. You speak negatively of him as a person all you want, but dont try to discredit him because he has a credible resume.

As for the "official" theme, Dallas Austin wrote the song so it probably won't be hip-hop, it may even be a ballad. He is not a rapper. He has written r&b so it is probably gonna be an r&b song, which may or may not have hip-hop-ish production. That seems to make the most sense. But I will wait and here it before I critqye it because if you diss it b4 it comes out, that my friends is hating.

yo, mike bell, me personally am not dissing Dallas Austin. if I do not know him, I do not know him, don't have a fit because he's your buddy. I just want to know who is Dallas Austin, that's all, stop whinning yo, as far as money, I got more than you and him put together and I don't have a deal yo.

PEACE

i seriously doubt if you have more money than Dallas Austin....you don't have a deal, but he makes deals so that speaks for itself!!

If I'm not mistaken, the movie Drumline was somewhat based off of Dallas Austin and he pretty much had a big input in it!! His track record in the music biz is good, just a lot of kats don't know about him cause he doesn't put himself out there like others. He's produced shit for TLC (he has a son by Chilli), Usher, and a handful of other big name artist!! Do a search if you wanna know, you'll be surprised what the nigga has done!!

Posted by: NO HOMO at October 25, 2005 09:14 AM

dude, no homo when I say I don't have a deal that means I don't rap, I do other business ventures. Also I do not care about Dallas, and that's good that's he's making money and being rich like me, but No Homo ain't getting any money that's why you are defending him, am I right yo? You guys are sounding gay, I bet you will defend Dallas faster than you will defend GOD, that's sick. you probably haven't even met the dude.
PEACE

i already see you a flip flop ass kinda person....i mean you jump from one subject to the next. First you come in sayin ol boy ain't makin money and how you got more money than him...true enough I don't know what you do and i know you don't have a rap deal cause no real artist would down a producer like Austin..the nigga has made his stamp as a quality producer! The nigga ain't my friend, don't know him from the next nigga on the block or none of that shit and I'm pretty sure you don't either. Just like you sayin you making more money than him and that other kat combined....nigga please, be real and think before you say shit like that. The same way I don't know what you do, you don't know what mike bell does and its obvious you didn't/don't know what Austin has done in the music industry!! Next thing you gonna say is you got more money than JD!! Then you have the audacity to say I ain't getting money...you're a straight clown!!! Continue to do your "business ventures", when you're able to acquire some "major investments", then raise your hand I will call on you. My kids kids don't have to work if I don't want them too. Be easy snowflake and waste your time replying!!

Posted by: NO HOMO at October 26, 2005 06:53 AM

NO HOMO, I never said that Dallas Austin is not getting any money. Duh he's getting money just like I am. That more money put together shit is just a just kidding parody, i was not serious about that comment. You know I was joking about that but it seems people like you that's "not" getting money will take it offensive. Don't get mad at me, and I will let you know HOMO, I'm not white, alright. Better yet don't talk to me until you have earned 500,000+ in the bank. I don't talk to dude's that has me on their minds instead of their money. That's HOMO, HOMO.
