1,2,3, I'm at the Chelsey Hotel, like, Sid and Nancy, with knife, and two grams of candy
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.
Yelawolf
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.
Yelawolf
Where I'm from is like 'Hustle Flow' versus '8 Mile.' It's that really grimy, box-Chevy, dope-boy, working-class music.
Yelawolf
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.

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

Just because a rapper is white, I don't feel the need to attack them.
Yelawolf
The best part of performing is the people. I love interacting with people. My favorite part is the crowd. I love rocking out with the crowd, that's definitely the best part.
Yelawolf
You can usually tell when people aren't being authentic, but that goes for every artist, not just white artists.
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.
Yelawolf
Yela represents hunger, life, light, fire, power. Wolf speaks to my fighting spirit. The soul I put in my music.
Yelawolf
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.

American music culture is black culture.
Yelawolf
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
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.
Yelawolf
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
It's hard being a white rapper sometimes! When that happens you just need to battle through.
Yelawolf
I'm from the South, and there's a different understanding of how to chop. There's a syllable play. It's a delicate art. Your accent has a lot to do with it. If you're from a certain area, words don't roll of your tongue as slick.

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