Yelawolf Quotations

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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