More quotes by Yelawolf
Skateboarding is a part of Hip-Hop culture. I think it's the fifth element of Hip-Hop - emceeing, deejaying, b-boying, graffiti, and skateboarding. Skateboarders live and die on the streets. It's expression - it's everything that Hip-Hop is.

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.

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.

Melody always comes to me first before words - cadence and melody. When you're humming the melody and it's incredible and words start coming out it can build into something special.

You don't want to get stuck with a record that you've done with someone that you feel obligated to put out - that's not really dope, just because you made an effort to get together and work.

Most of my albums have a concept. They all have some kind of theme, some kind of feeling. I really take pride in that.

1,2,3, I'm at the Chelsey Hotel, like, Sid and Nancy, with knife, and two grams of candy

I do so much music that it's like a fog, and I can't even remember all of it.

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

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

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.
Yelawolf
Sometimes I want to party, sometimes I want to fight and sometimes I want to cry.

I don't sit under the tattoo gun unless I'm sold on it completely and it will define me as a person.
Yelawolf
I'm never scared what people are gonna think about music that I make.
Yelawolf
Fans are all I care about - to be honest. If they stop coming to the shows, then I will get worried.
Yelawolf
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.

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

Anyone can relate to struggle, whether you're European or Asian. Anyone can relate to having to get up and go to work and eat.
Yelawolf
I love performing. I love getting out there. It's kind of like why I make music.
Yelawolf
I equally love both, classic rock and hip-hop. I love all music, really, and I really use classic rock a lot. I'm heavily influenced by that melodically in my music. I can't really separate the two.
