It was really dope to see that bit where Justin asks a sensitive question, management tries to intervene but Yelawolf is eager to answer the question because of HOW it was asked. TCM really that guy.

So good. Not just asking amazing questions, but the seasoning of a great interviewer and journalist to sit back and just let him answer for as long as he needed. Amazing!

Glad to see this Justin. Well done for getting the interview.

Yelawolf has my respect always. Love his music and takes a man to reply like that

[@lostpicasso260]

I’m a day one fan of this man but, wish homie would get sober and actually address the whole situation. But then again, it’s easy to judge people we don’t truly know personally. I don’t have have the answers.

[@Jesoteric]

He’s basically confirming that the whole issue was over his use of the confederate flag, which was very common amongst artists of all races from the south, but some people can’t grasp it’s not necessarily meant to be a symbol of racism but more of a symbol of southern pride, I get the confusion but it wasn’t used with ill intent by guys like yelawolf or plenty of black artists like Andre 3000 amongst others

[@jbrown767]

However, Yelawulf admitted he was wrong for doing it. So, obviously, that flag doesn't mean just mean, "southern pride". I'll never understand why folks will say, it's not about race, when, clearly, that flag was waved under a foundation of racism and, later, an apartheid system in the south, not to mention that the foundation of the entire US is centered around racism, sexism and classism.

[@anachronismic]

Saying it's about southern pride kinda misses what he's actually saying. He explicitly says that the reason he, and 3k, and everyone else was using it, was as a repurposing and reclamation of the symbol from it's original context, which is as a symbol of racism. And ultimately his conclusion was that that task is not for him to be carrying on, as a white dude. How you got this take from that interview makes no sense to me.

[@rawproof]

For the phuck of it - Let me add - these terms black and white are made up labels by Gomes De Zurara - around 1450. The same slave trade was operating in Eastern Europe before moving to West Central Afrika. These labels black and white were used as marketing tools in a book he wrote to persuade slave traders from Spain and Portugal to free the Slavs aka Slavic people (where the word slave comes from) - and move the industry to Afrika. Peep this for the entire Lie That Invented Racism. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2Gne2mmp7VmgZofeature=shared

[@stevendriskell]

Wow. 🤦‍♂️ you people have no idea what you're talking about. Most of the rappers he mentioned are from Georgia. Look up the state flag of Georgia prior to 2001. The Dixie flag was on the Georgia state flag for a looooong time. Those rappers weren't repping the Dixie flag, they were repping Georgia via their state's flag. 🤦‍♂️

[@marcuspickens25]

Yeah I think Justin can definitely be a Vlad, but a more socially conscious driven interview that can really extract what needs to be extracted from the music and from the moments verses just having artists tell you about it.

[@TheConqueror253]

I appreciate this interview I have alot more respect for him knowing his stance and his intention.

[@kaliduncanel3356]

Thank You Yela. I've been a fan since Box Chevy. I'm glad you can be honest about this. It sucks that you had to be the example for this to play out. I just hope you can understand both sides of the situation. Maybe one day black and white people can come to understand each other on a case by case basis but, everyone has to understand where each individual is coming from in the process.

[@cyberjazz]

This is why I'll listen to any interview by Justin Hunte and/or Sean Evans; asking the question no one ask or in a way that is different enough to be worthy of a real, quality response.

[@isaiahferrara1149]

i know he gets a lotta hate but i love him, this interview legit

[@alexanderdeltoro]

People aren’t nuanced enough to understand this. Outrage culture is the norm. Even if he made an innocent mistake while having good intentions, it’s important for him to be able to change and for people to accept it since nobody is perfect. People want to be moral hall monitors and pat themselves on the back as if we’ve all been morally outstanding people our whole lives and haven’t grown

Taking all of what he said at face value. This is exactly why you need people around you that cares about your image because someone could have had the foresight to say you being who you are and where you are from this may not be the right image for your career.

Yeah but you have to listen. I think Royce was that person.

That dixie flag thing was a dumb idea. But I thought it was about him using the n word with a hard r all the time.

[@thesprock5270]

I’ve listened to probably every Yela song, never heard him say or even come close to saying the n word lol.

[@OttoZone37]

I thought the real reason Royce was mad was because he sent one of his artists to work with Yelawolf, Yelawolf’s dj wouldn’t stop using the n-word, and yelawolf refused to ask him to stop. Allegedly of course

[@thenew90s36]

[@Tburch98]

I don’t understand how something his DJ said or did has anything to do with him. Seems childish for someone to days he’s racist cause his dj said the n word. That’s like saying someone is a homophobe because their friend called something queer

i mean i kinda feel what he sayin. dont really like how or why he's saying it obviously but all in all i think what hes trying to say is he didn't realize that people wouldnt perceive him the same way they would if he was black no matter how much he feels like he's part of the club. a lot of whites dont get that until they learn it the hard way

[@jessehudson5960]

Listen the story was Royce sent an artist to go work with Yela and his boys. So Royce’s artist said to Royce that yelawolf and his people were using the N word with the hard R to him and in front of him! So Royce obviously had a huge problem with that! The conflict between the two of them wasn’t about no dumb ass Dixie flag

[@chrisdskus10]

He totally avoided the question! The issue with Royce started when Yela’s engineer called Kid Vicious nixxa, and Yela shrugged it off!

[@MikeGoforth-wh7pl]

He's such an underrated artist, I love him and Royce too, but being from tn, and having a mixed family too, rebel flag isnt thought of a racist, i remember bone crusher and david banner head to toe rebel flag, i get the what it represented in the past, but I think its cool that they tried to put a positive or even just a nonracist spin on, kind of how certain bloods or crips have slightly opened up an understanding that a percentage of ppl generations before you made it seem like if you have pride in were you come from, means your one way. Unfortunately bc they are still evil ppl that make the general public associate red/blue bandanas, or the rebel flag with violence and racism, i dont see it being accepted outside of your neighborhood, i could walk into a gas station in the hood where i live with a rebel flag on my tshirt, see a black dude with a draped in their colors, and 98% of the time its gonna be my homie, or my cousin and it'd be a positive moment, but put him a few towns over, or me in cali or NY, it'll be a way dif outcome.

[@drdread9896]

Nah them folk he named were talking about something completely different

[@FlatsFisher73]

I like the way you said that that you’re an open guest, but when you got love and passion, there is no discrimination in that you can’t be a racist bigot divider when you have love for that culture that’s why it’s so hard for people to accept Eminem because he is white and that is being racist against them because people hate him like 50 Cent said people hate Eminem because he does it better than they do . When you have love for the hip-hop community and you stand tall and side-by-side with all the other artist in the committee part of it no matter what color the skin is or you’re racist POS. Yelawolf, you nasty what you do too you make some bangers some real hits your own flow your own style. Keep it up, brother.

The underlying misconception over this whole argument Is that Yelá Never said a damn thing. subject of This whole argument Isn't even Yelawolf! It's that yellow book didn't say something/checkers DJ when it's DJ was talking shit and 5'9 heard him. You know something he ain't shit! Just because he scratches records and you do likes the way it sounds doesn't mean he has supposed to have some poignantt political commentary. In-fact, the matter is that things can be racial and not be racist. It's called context. people who hear something and think all wild about shit and your racist and racism because it's supposedly so wrong Smart man once told me You don't see Robin's helping Blue Jays out in their nest, Do yo?

I'm a white man and if anyone asks why I'm flying a certain flag or wearing a certain symbol, I'll state "because I can, that's why!" Yelawolf is groveling for forgiveness and it's just sad. Grow a pair and stand your ground because they'll hate you anyway.

[@tellthetruth7497]

Him and Royce’s conflict was clearly about the flag. Saw people making shit up about Yelawolf using the N word. The way he responded about the flag shows that shit was made up.

[@bdr113080]

Yeah, that whole issue seemed a little weird because the people that were involved never said he himself actually said anything. I’m a fan of both of them, but at the time I really didn’t know what to think because honestly ever since the whole slaughterhouse debacle, Royce made a lot of really weird choices at that time. I will never understand how Royce, Crooked, and Joell we’re all asked about it in interviews before the rise and fall of slaughterhouse album came out. They all said the same thing. All three of them wanted to stay on shady, they all three acknowledged Eminem really cared about their group and wanted them to be successful as possible and the whole reason Glasshouse never came out was because they couldn’t get Joe in the studio to record it. The minute it became an issue with Joe versus the other two Royce changed his whole story and acted like Joe was never the problem but you can go watch an interview Royce did on the breakfast club where he pretty much says the same thing crook said. I honestly didn’t know when this stuff happened where Royce was coming from because he was having weird beefs at the time it felt like.. and Royce hasn’t made sense. I was actually glad to hear this response and hear the respect he has for Royce.

[@mluna6702]

What's wrong with wearing it

[@dannybuchanan3661]

@mluna6702 it's a logo that uses a stereotyped image of a native American right down to exaggerating skintone that plays into dehumanisation of indigenous people. I don't want to get into other peoples morals here, its a type of caricature I wouldn't want to associate myself with personally. It sort of verges on parody to lay back and talk about how a symbol can come to represent hatred and talk about who is able and who isn't able to reclaim symbols generally showing that he's learned from those mistakes while still wearing a logo that's racist. If other people want to tie themselves to it or have some love for it or don't care about it I don't really care enough to tell you why you should.

[@WarriorsforInfoTV]

He's part Native American.

[@TheCompanyMan]

He's indigenous American.

[@WarriorsforInfoTV]

@@TheCompanyMan I'm part indigenous myself, but that's not a term that's hot in the streets.

[@Doomer253]

I noticed that as well.

[@Based_Proletariat]

It's the Cleveland "Indians", now known as the Guardians.

That flag is a representation of poor young men dying for the interests of the rich. I wish everyone would stop trying to “own it”. It was the interest of rich men on BOTH SIDES.

Finally someone who actually knows history and understands that just like any war it was poor people dying while the rich benefited from it

The irony of him saying all that while having that old Cleveland Indians logo on. Still work to be done.

[@DanielIvan707]

Wasn’t this about him being mixed and married to a black woman? Somebody was upset about that and said something.

[@ODDiSEE_]

Nah his dj called Royce brother "nigga"

[@shocjonny8056]

The hell is this guy talking about. He didn't answer the question about incident with Royce's brother. Stop doing interviews drunk.

[@DH-cj7nm]

It wasn't even Royce brother it was Bryan Jones and it wasn't Yela it was dj Klever. Why would he say anything when whiners take everything out of context and cancel people over nothing.

[@emiliotimperley2746]

His music has changed for the worse he's to much a apologetic wuss now

[@EssAhrBee]

Keep crying

[@mrrdw77]

In other words he's a colonizer that failed at colonizing hip hop.

[@bruceleeds7988]

Nah he is a colon.

[@DH-cj7nm]

Cry some more dude is respected by big Krit, Raekwon , Killer Mike, Asap Rocky, Juicy J, he has tracks with them all and a whole dj muggs album , slaughterhouse features, Dj paul album , gold record under shady, was on the xxl freshman list, bet cypher. His dj said some shit and was probably just being stupid. You sound bitter karen.

White people and Spanish and Latina people are guest in hiphop rock soul funk jazz rnb etc

[@yeeerrrrrrr]

Chet Baker

[@the-engneer]

Yet there are thousands of hip hop songs that sample music made by white people. De La Soul's "Three Feet High and Rising " is a Johnny Cash lyric for example. I'll never understand why people have to gatekeep music so much instead of just letting people make and listen to whatever they want too. There's black people who sing country and punk rock, and there's white people who play reggae (Bob Marley was half white i want to add and experienced racism during his upbringing from other black people hating him for being white. Look it up) blues, and jazz and do so respectfully, but it's always people like you who gotta turn something positive and uplifting into something negative and make it all a racial issue instead of just simply enjoying music, and being hapoy that people appreciate your culture. The definition of racism is "Feeling your ethnicity is superior to others", so by saying certain ethnic groups are just "A guest" to the music you're being racist by the true definition of it. Two wrongs don't make a right, and it's wrong to say that. Because of this line of thinking we will never move forward as a society, and you will continue to create more and more division and problems where there wasn't any. "Do not judge a man by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character " MLK Jr.

[@Goodpatron]

If we're being honest, white people built rap... Jerry Heller, Jimmy Ivine, Rick Rubin, etc. 😁 Sorry, not sorry.

[@Theophiloz]

Built and capitalized on are two different things, white boy.

[@Doomer253]

That's hilarious. "Investing" finacially and trapping artists in contracts does not mean Them folks "Built" rap.

If you believe that it's best to keep it to yourself unless you want to be challenged and have an open mind to changing your opinion. That said did Columbus find America or did he tell a bunch of ppl there's this really cool place we can visit rob and make a shit ton of money at. Also check out the interview Justin did about the founding of hip hop if you actually care about rap

So why you tell Lord Jamar to stfu when he told you that you were a guest in the house of hip hop?? Lord Jamar is a grandfather of hip hop so until you apologize to him you can fall back

[@krayzilla6213]

Lmfao sh the f up. Nobody is a guest in house of hip hop. Lord Jamar on too much crack. He's not even a top200 artist. Fall back little man.
