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.

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

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.

This is hip-hop. If you've got something you want to rap about, just rap about it, man.

I just want to make a classic. Classic is the standard. I'm just trying to make music that will last a lifetime.

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.

I'm never in the mood to eat or drink when I get to a show. I'm just too nerved out.

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

Image
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.

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

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.

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.

Image
I love performing. I love getting out there. It's kind of like why I make music.
Yelawolf
Image
Yeah, I have animosity, a chip on my shoulder. But I love, too.

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

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

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