Triple 6 Mafia and Mystikal in Atlanta was one of my first shows. I remember how sweaty and smashed up everybody was, and it was so punk rock.

You learn how to be an individual quick after 15 schools, man. After the first five or six, you realize you're always gonna be the new kid.

I don't go to clubs and throw money and pop bottles. That's not my thing, no disrespect.

There's no real outlet for making Hip-Hop in Alabama. You need to travel to get heard. You really need to be working though. You need to be going at it every day and getting yourself seen, getting yourself out there on the road, doing shows, making music. It's all about being on your grind.

People are not really that forgiving when they pay for tickets to come see you and you don't show up.

Everybody needs a release. Sometimes people mosh at my shows. That inspired me to make records to get the people more crunk. People need a release and I enjoy being an artist that can do that for people.

I love performing. I love getting out there. It's kind of like why I make music.

The way I perceive an album to sound and the way I put out mixtapes are two different energies. There's a different focus there's a different sound.

Where I'm from is like 'Hustle Flow' versus '8 Mile.' It's that really grimy, box-Chevy, dope-boy, working-class music.

Hip-hop is the only music in the world where you can take any instrument and make it hip hop. It's anybody's music. It's what you make of it. That's for anything you do in life.

Fans are all I care about - to be honest. If they stop coming to the shows, then I will get worried.

Hip-hop for me has always been hardcore and edgy.

You can usually tell when people aren't being authentic, but that goes for every artist, not just white artists.

I'm not ashamed of anything that I've done because when I did it, I was passionate about it and I was doing it for a reason.

My homies in Gadsden aren't as exposed as I am culturally, which is awesome - that's why I love going home. I'm in the kitchen with people who don't know anything but the simple life, what's important to them, and what's dope.
Yelawolf
I definitely prefer intimate crowds. I mean, those are always the best shows, like, a small venue. Packed to the gills. Hot, sweaty. Those are always the fun shows.

How many ya'll parents smoke weed? My momma still grows illegal weed in Alabama.

My fans are like no other. Completely original people.

I can tell you that when you're willing to give your life up to see a dream through, the reward is great.

For real, some of my favorite music is Mexican. It's something about the bassline and the drumming. I can't even speak Spanish, but that's probably why I like it so much.

Name Yellow Wolf comes from life experiences. Yellow is the color of the sun - its power, fire, and hunger. Wolf represents my fierceness and ability to survive.
