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.

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.

I'm never scared what people are gonna think about music that I make.
Yelawolf
I do so much music that it's like a fog, and I can't even remember all of it.
Yelawolf
Just because a rapper is white, I don't feel the need to attack them.
Yelawolf
I just want to make a classic. Classic is the standard. I'm just trying to make music that will last a lifetime.

I don't sit under the tattoo gun unless I'm sold on it completely and it will define me as a person.

Hip-hop for me has always been hardcore and edgy.

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.

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

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.

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.

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
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
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
Yela represents hunger, life, light, fire, power. Wolf speaks to my fighting spirit. The soul I put in my 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.

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

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