Yelawolf on Leaving Eminem's Shady Records (Part 12)

Black sheep from multiple years ago? With millions of views like millions upon millions of views? Or are you just another one of those douche bags calling well loved and well listen to art, underrated? Also, you can sound like you have some insight to shit. Nobody else does, but really you’re just presenting your arrogance for everyone to see like you’re so fucking proud of it? And by the way, arrogance is just being extremely confident in your ignorance..

Westside Gunn said there were too many corney white dudes that aren’t actually hip hop fans at their shows. Eminem fans aren’t hip hop fans outside of anything linked to Eminem. Em would tell you that himself. He said as much in that sway interview.

@2:30 he’s absolutely correct, but what he isn’t stating is that he, (Yelawolf) is the Epitome, Definition, “IS”, the Perfect Blend of Hip-Hop, Rock & Roll, & Country! The absolute perfect fusion of “Hip-Rock-Country”. Shoutout to CatFish Billy & the Slumerican Mob!

@@Dezzyyx I know shame on me right 😂 I think he might actually have something meaningful to ask but I got suckered again

[@FormigaFit]

I completely agree. Yelawolf is the King of this country hip-hop not just in Tennessee but in general. Hick hop is so corny, and we all know. Yelawolf can blend the genres in a way it's not cringe to listen to. He's a story teller, he can rap as well, he can flow, he's lyrical, he's a writer. I relate to what he says sometimes, where some country and most rap I can't relate to. I even like Devil in my veins without no rap I it. WLPWR hits the mark every time

Yela is so real as an artist. I respect him so much for his authenticity and love for the craft. His music, whether it be hip hop, country, or rock and roll is all unique and enjoyable to listen to because it all comes from his heart. Fuck money, grammys and Spotify numbers, make music because you love it and nothing else.

It would’ve been when tech actually rapped, now he’s just sitting down and writing a fucking album or freestyle words that rhyme, but not actually saying a single fucking thing especially calling it in on features.. since pod.. I hate seeing people saying all these amazing artists. Should do shit with Tech N9ne.. why like seriously do you just like Poppy shit that doesn’t say anything because then I understand you.. but that’s more Trap & pop

[@beardedweirdo790]

That was the song that got me hooked on Yela. I'd heard him before but hadn't paid too much attention until I had just been fired from a job on the train home I'd put on best friend on shuffle and Sabrina was after and I was drawn in.

Trial by Fire, being exclusively produced by Yela, is maybe my favourite of his. He did an incredible job on it. Edit : it was incredibly underpromoted by the label too, which was weird at the time. The singles were tightly focused and you could see the vision. Shady/Interscope kind of dropped the ball on that one.

[@craigskinner3878]

Yeah shady fails to promote there artist they have this thing where they think just because it involves Eminem that’s enough!! I remember when trial by fire was coming out Eminem posted on pic hold the trial by fire album that’s all he did but that same photo was to promote his upcoming revival album because it had the revival billboard in the background
