More quotes by Yelawolf
I just want to make a classic. Classic is the standard. I'm just trying to make music that will last a lifetime.
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'm always gonna have the darker edgy music it is always in my pocket because it comes so naturally to me.
Yelawolf
It's hard being a white rapper sometimes! When that happens you just need to battle through.
Yelawolf
Hip-hop for me has always been hardcore and edgy.
Yelawolf
Yela represents hunger, life, light, fire, power. Wolf speaks to my fighting spirit. The soul I put in my music.
Yelawolf
People are not really that forgiving when they pay for tickets to come see you and you don't show up.
Yelawolf
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
Entangled between a dream and a coma.
Yelawolf
Sometimes I want to party, sometimes I want to fight and sometimes I want to cry.
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
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
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
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
Just because a rapper is white, I don't feel the need to attack them.
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 can usually tell when people aren't being authentic, but that goes for every artist, not just white artists.
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
Hip-hop is the only music in the world where you can take any instrument and make it hip hop. It's anybody's music. It's what you make of it. That's for anything you do in life.
Yelawolf
I think any artist that's going to become anything in this world faces humility: with great humility comes great success.
