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.

1,2,3, I'm at the Chelsey Hotel, like, Sid and Nancy, with knife, and two grams of candy
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
This is hip-hop. If you've got something you want to rap about, just rap about it, man.
Yelawolf
People are not really that forgiving when they pay for tickets to come see you and you don't show up.
Yelawolf
I'm never in the mood to eat or drink when I get to a show. I'm just too nerved out.
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
Sometimes I want to party, sometimes I want to fight and sometimes I want to cry.
Yelawolf
Yela represents hunger, life, light, fire, power. Wolf speaks to my fighting spirit. The soul I put in my music.
Yelawolf
It's hard being a white rapper sometimes! When that happens you just need to battle through.
Yelawolf
I'm never scared what people are gonna think about music that I make.
Yelawolf
You can usually tell when people aren't being authentic, but that goes for every artist, not just white artists.

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.
Yelawolf
You learn how to be an individual quick after 15 schools, man. After the first five or six, you realize you're always gonna be the new kid.
Yelawolf
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 don't sit under the tattoo gun unless I'm sold on it completely and it will define me as a person.
Yelawolf
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.
Yelawolf
I do so much music that it's like a fog, and I can't even remember all of it.
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
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.
