I wouldn't call him "failed" . Dude's done a lot in his career. More than most. A brand name, a clothing line, a store, barber shop, tattoo shop, two documentary series, a movie role, plenty of different albums and eps, a whiskey company, etc. This video is so misleading. For one, Yela got like 3 verses from Em. 2. The whole meltdown situation happened during the release of Trial By Fire. Not during Love Story .That was actually a whole few years AFTER Love Story. You should maybe do better research in the future my guy.

[@shanel4294]

Sounds like a successful entrepreneur to me, failure is subjective anyways. Seeing a lot of comments fact correcting so seems like he got a lot wrong 😬

[@jessebailey5962]

​@@shanel4294he lied about alot. Behind shady and 50 cent, Yelawolf sold the most records for shady. And Yelawolf was one of the few artist that Eminem told shady records to lay off and let Yela be Yela. So he could go back to creating with dj Paul, DJ klever and Will Power. Yelawolf and Will Power literally made it together.

[@indianbellydancer1]

Every time y’all keep trying to fight about him not actually being failed, y’all bring up his clothing and liquor brands which is irrelevant because we’re talking about music like please be serious. He’s not on any charts, he’s not a bigger name than he could’ve been, like hello? Whether he has his own endeavors outside of rap or not, bottom line is nobody walking down the street gassin his shit up. He’s not a household name so yes, he’s failed Eminem because investments were made for his music since he wants to be idk ...maybe a musician before everything else happened and his music fucking flopped anyway and he didn’t carry on the be the next “great white rapper,” so we as a society still only notices Eminem as the only one that matters.

[@rumham3070]

Yelawolf will always have his fanbase that likes his music so he didn't need Shady to begin with. After 50 Cent, Shady Records became one of the worst labels out there for promoting their artists. It doesn't help that 99% of Shady Record's fanbase is just Eminem Stans. They just wanna hear Eminem. Also I don't think Eminem or his Stans were looking for the next great white rapper to carry his legacy. Every white rapper who tries to rap fast like Eminem is kinda corny. Want some examples? Listen to "Death to Mumble Rap." It's why White rappers like Mac Miller, Action Bronson, and Jack Harlow found success. They weren't trying to sound like Eminem.

@@westcoastenvy Which song?

[@ObservingMember]

I don’t agree with everything shared in this video. Eminem actually did appear on the Radioactive album. He did a verse on Throw It Up alongside Gangsta Boo (Bless her memory 🙏). Another issue that Yelawolf had with Shady Records was that the label wanted Ed Sheeran to sing the chorus in American You, which made no sense at all because he’s a UK based artist. Since Yelawolf left Shady Records, it hasn’t been doom and gloom. It’s not about what position an artist has in the Billboard or whatever chart or how much wealth is being generated. Yelawolf has gone on to create AMAZING work and is still dropping plenty of albums under his Slumerican label.

I don't think you can emphasize it enough about how well the guy is doing. Very well, and there's no stopping for awhile for him.

The only reason most people know yella is through eminem. Eminem didnt need to do anything else but do a couple features and announce hes on the label and the fans came and stayed. It was a good deal for both sides yella got bigger, em made some money and had a nice rapper on his label. With or without eminem or any label, yella will continue to put out good music his fans enjoy and eminem will do fine. No loss on either side

[@ahmedfiasco6412]

Facts

[@Rylanha]

Kind of a loss on Em’s side though, many artists came out and said that Shady Records did extremely poorly at promoting their artists, I mean, when yelawolf put out his album Trial By Fire, the only “promotion” they did for the album was Paul Rosenberg posting a picture of the CD on his ig.

[@Tellaz]

@@Rylanha even with more promotion behind yellawolf there wouldn't of been exponential growth in views. Yellawolf has a niche audience that's dedicated to his music but he's not the type of artist to blow up. Very niche to southern audiences which he's found

@@emptee4494 I'm aware been listening to yella for awhile but his following still tripled once Eminem signed him

[@michaelcox3353]

Trunk Muzik and Radioactive were both great albums for me during a great time. Hip hop had a void that was finally being filled with Yelawolf, Kendrick, KRIT, Cole, Joey Badass, Wale, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Wiz, YG, Nipsey, Dom, Drake, ASAP, Pusha, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, Tyler, Earl, Vince, Mac Miler, and so much more. It was a great time for music and hip hop was competitive and not at all biast or rigged. It just all came so organic. I listened to a little bit of Trunk Muzik 2, but after that i didn't stay too connected to Yelawolf. I feel like he just went back to his roots and ehat made him happy and ehat his core fan base really wanted frok him because in reality people still love that guy like the people that rocked with him on some day one shit. A lot of fans, like myself, stopped listening when he took out the hip hop aspect of his music and filled it with country, folk, rock, and soul. I still respect him though because he didn't care for trends, money, and fame. He just wanted to make music for himself and for his true fans. Edit: Btw Stereo was a sick ass mixtape and I liked that Yelawolf ass well.

[@SpOrAtiK]

I feel pretty confident he is in a better place now than he's ever been. He has freedom and a solid following. I don't think the mass popularity lane would equate to mass happiness. Eminem is a recluse hiding in a mansion and way too famous to have a good life. I hope the n-word stuff isn't legit. What I mostly see from this video is someone who is their own man and he seems willing to own his part about being difficult at times.

Yela is a top tier rapper who's always done his own thing and stayed true to himself. I don't think he failed Shady at all, he's just not a style that's very commercial in this modern landscape. His fanbase may be smaller, but they're dedicated and loyal, so he's prolly doing just fine in his own lane.

I feel like Royce was pretty wack for handling it the way he did. He claims it wasnt to be vindictive or to drum up attention for his album yet clarifys that it was a private issue between them so why address it publicly? Watching rhe interviews, it backfired on him anyway because he gets progressively more annoyed that he kept getting asked about it. Its like bro, why lie? You did it probably for both reasons, as part of an album rollout but also to be vindictive and stain Yelawolfs name publicly, which made no sense because Yela's core following doesn't care, lol. And the rest of the hip-hop community was probably like "... Who's Yelawolf?" Ever since Royce reconciled with Em I feel he's just been eating off the Shady spotlight. He's an alright lyricist, but nowhere close to what the perception of him is and it just irks me when rich privileged celebrities rap like activists over issues their tax bracket protects them from facing personally

[@marcoswixson6007]

Bro .. yelawolf is Hella good! Failed? Wtf you talking about man. Dude is Hella talented and can do more than just rap...

[@ofentsemokzyn6705]

Love your videos man ❤

[@MichaelJordan-jw4lb]

Yelawolf thinking he can out rap kendrick is hilarious

[@slum4510]

😬

[@ryantran2639]

I still think yelawolf is a great rapper and he is very underrated. He's had some great features in the past such as 1train and best friend.

[@tjx77]

best friend is his song. em is the feature

[@eachypinky118]

​@@tjx77that became Ems song

The Portland guy driving through a parade and wwe 2k16 are the only reasons I remember this dude

[@falsedilimma]

Love Story came out my senior year of high school. I remember bumping it almost everyday. Fast forward to last year I saw it in a record store as a “rarity” so I paid the 150 dollars for it. That album is sacred to me.

[@TrialsHwRYaNw693]

Can't wait for War Story coming out this year. I think you picked that up at a good time.

[@187umkillah]

That 1st yellawolf on shady is a classic tho

[@jessegregory3890]

This video sucks. Yela may not be mainstream but this dude i still doing it with a loyal fan base

[@leftisbest7173]

Yella on ESPN is awkward as fuck

[@GHOSTKILLAZ47]

Yelawolf is great no matter what 🔥

3:23 Eminem actually did have a verse on radioactive on throw it up

[@icidagod937]

Em was on Radioactive. Throw Em Up feat. Eminem and Gangsta Boo. Also, I know this vid is focused on him and Eminem, but he had a pretty big buzz before. He had 3 mixtapes/albums before signing with shady, with Trunk Muzik being the runaway. He was on the original Worldwide Choppers with Tech N9ne and a lot of people heard him on there first with his distinctive voice. Just odd to kinda call his rise "he tried and tried then finally made this one song and then got a Em call". Hypercritical, but I do enjoy this video tho and will be subscribing!

Lil Jon and ludicrous both wear and rock the Dixie flag, don’t be stupid everyone

[@sMeLLwAtER]

He was simply misunderstood....his life is pure poetry

[@Maxamili]

I listen to a lot more Yelawolf than I do Eminem. I’m not sure what you mean by him “not living up to his full potential”. He’s making the music he wants to make and makes a very comfortable living doing so. Doesn’t get much better than that.

[@user-vx7xu5qj4l]

Me too

[@kylecarter3020]

Yela is far away from being a failed rapper. One of the coldest flows in the game. Period.

[@jreamzzz8486]

You just said eminem didnt have a verse on radioactive. But he actually did. Its on the song "Throw it up" with gansta boo which is probably one of the best songs on it.

[@jasonpreble605]

I respected all of your vids up to this point... Yela's fkn LIIIT!!!

[@SpAceDrragon]

His verse on 1 Train still legendary too me

[@chuckjamesnorris5928]

Yelawolf > anything Eminem’s made in the last 10 years

[@Treevors30]

0:35 or did Eminem fail him ominous music starts with maniacal laughter

[@lilpoppa502]

Yela never failed Slim. Yela just stuck to what he wanted in his music and himself. There's no fail in that. Anyone who would expect any artist to do anything other than that doesn't want what's best. They just want what's in their own agenda. Proud of you Yela for doing you. #SlumericanMade.

[@squibbelsmcjohnson]

Didn't like yela fee years ago but he worked on his craft now I love him

[@DiiversecityBrown]

You wrong for that.Get ready for that diss track.

[@izdirty9117]

Yela still making music GOT HIS OWN STYLE. And staying himself and take cares of his momma 🔥🔥🔥
