More quotes by Yelawolf
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.

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

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.

American music culture is black culture.

It's hard being a white rapper sometimes! When that happens you just need to battle through.
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.

Yeah, I have animosity, a chip on my shoulder. But I love, too.

Just because a rapper is white, I don't feel the need to attack them.
