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.

More quotes by 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
Entangled between a dream and a coma.

I'm always gonna have the darker edgy music it is always in my pocket because it comes so naturally to me.

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

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.

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

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

You can usually tell when people aren't being authentic, but that goes for every artist, not just white artists.
Yelawolf
Where I'm from is like 'Hustle Flow' versus '8 Mile.' It's that really grimy, box-Chevy, dope-boy, working-class music.
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.

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.
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
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
People are not really that forgiving when they pay for tickets to come see you and you don't show up.
Yelawolf
I think any artist that's going to become anything in this world faces humility: with great humility comes great success.
Yelawolf
I don't sit under the tattoo gun unless I'm sold on it completely and it will define me as a person.
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
I just want to make a classic. Classic is the standard. I'm just trying to make music that will last a lifetime.
