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
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.

I think any artist that's going to become anything in this world faces humility: with great humility comes great success.

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

People are not really that forgiving when they pay for tickets to come see you and you don't show up.

My grandmother, grandfather, my mom - we've always been driven by laughter. It's what held us together. Thanksgivings, any kind of family get-together, we usually end up in tears.

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.

I don't go to clubs and throw money and pop bottles. That's not my thing, no disrespect.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

How many ya'll parents smoke weed? My momma still grows illegal weed in Alabama.

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

Entangled between a dream and a coma.

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

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.
