More quotes by 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.

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

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.
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.
Yelawolf
I think any artist that's going to become anything in this world faces humility: with great humility comes great success.
Yelawolf
Most of my albums have a concept. They all have some kind of theme, some kind of feeling. I really take pride in that.
Yelawolf
I can tell you that when you're willing to give your life up to see a dream through, the reward is great.
Yelawolf
I love performing. I love getting out there. It's kind of like why I make music.
Yelawolf
This is hip-hop. If you've got something you want to rap about, just rap about it, man.
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.
Yelawolf
Fans are all I care about - to be honest. If they stop coming to the shows, then I will get worried.
Yelawolf
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.
Yelawolf
I don't sit under the tattoo gun unless I'm sold on it completely and it will define me as a person.

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.
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.
Yelawolf
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.
Yelawolf
Yela represents hunger, life, light, fire, power. Wolf speaks to my fighting spirit. The soul I put in my music.
Yelawolf
I'm never scared what people are gonna think about music that I make.
