Damon Campbell Interviews Yelawolf

Yelawolf Interview |
Nearly four years ago, I had been granted an opportunity to interview Yelawolf, which at the time would have been only my seventh one ever. Unfortunately, right after meeting him and shaking his hand, I was asked by his manager to wait outside the venue until he finished a different one first, and also to narrow down my list of questions from a page-and-a-half's worth to the best five of my choice. Over an hour had gone by before I was able to regain the attention of his security guard who escorted me out, and by that point it was too late: Yelawolf had already left to go get food and prepare for the show, I was told, and his manager had forgotten about the interview.
All was certainly not lost however, because not only did I get to witness Eminem join Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse onstage for a surprise debut performance of "2.0 Boys" first-hand later that night, I was also able to capture footage of the occasion - which was later featured on seemingly every hip-hop site known to mankind, so I still felt as if I was making at least some sort of a contribution. Not only that, but after rediscovering my set of potential questions quite some time down the road and reading them back to my own dismay, suddenly it became obvious to me that the mishap had been a blessing in disguise all along.
In fact, after several attempts at redemption, I finally had the chance to sit down with Catfish Billy (whose nickname, as you'll come to find out, may or may not have even more significance than many of us had previously realized) a little while back during his "Slumerican" tour stop at Saint Andrew's Hall in Detroit - the inspiration for '8 Mile's battle scenes, as well as the building where his mentor Eminem, at the time still just an aspiring rapper, used to hone his skills by competing downstairs in the basement, dubbed The Shelter.
Currently putting the finishing touches on his second album 'Love Story,' due April 21, the Shady Records MC opened up about a full-circle experience of his own: handing one of Marshall's demo tapes to the man himself an entire decade after finding it on the floor of a record executive's office. While Em was of course eventually picked up by Dr. Dre, Yelawolf and I discussed his principal Dr. Kersey coming across 'his' first rap, a former part-time gig selling Pepto-Bismol long before he was ever "Mixin' Up the Medicine" with Juelz Santana, and a whole lot more. "There's nothing else to know about me - at all," he joked afterwards.

[@DamonCampbellTV]

[@rydiem8628]

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. It was nice to see Yelawolf smile as much as he did. Great smile by the way!

Your passion for interviewing reminds me of the kid from the movie Almost Famous. Amazing interview, well thought out questions, solid research, and you got the best stories out of him! I've been listening to Yelawolf interviews all day while working from a cubicle in a government building and this interview was by far the best! Thanks man!

[@DamonCampbellTV]

Wow, really appreciate the kind words! So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@Rx7Yoshi69]

This is awesome. Nice to hear some stories on Yelawolfs background. I'm glad the questions weren't the same ones everyone asks. You certainly did a good job researching him, and asking questions most fans probably wouldn't have even considered. The interview was amazing because of the questions. I really think artists appreciate an interview that is well thought out, and researched beforehand. It's obvious you are a fan, and that makes a huge difference. I get so pissed when I watch and interview, and the person asking the questions doesn't know anything about the artist. Thanks, and I will be subscribing (which I never do)!

[@DamonCampbellTV]

Chuck Norris wow, I'm honestly a bit speechless. Thank you for understanding the approach, it means a lot. I'm really glad you enjoyed the interview overall - hopefully you were able to learn a thing or two from it. And thanks for the sub man, more coming soon!
