The first Yelawolf song that I like I didn't like when I first heard it but then I loved it Pop the Trunk!
I cant pick a verse but my favorite song because all the verses were fuckin dope was love is not enough
I love the pictures on his wall btw. Yela is such nice Guy and a great talended Musician.
The interviewer was so good. No disrespectful interruptions. No unnecessary questions
Thank you. Because Yelawolf to me is an ICON.
Not trying to be funny but has this dude even put music out in the past few years? I cant find shit. Although admittedly I only searched YouTube for some new stuff from him.. I have been a fan of his music for well over a decade and hes such a talented artist. I sorta got salty when he was being a hater on MGK but I mean.. I still like him.
Been a fan of Yelawolf since I heard Good to Go waaaaay back when
I'm from Huntsville. I remember working at Sonic and he came through with some friends in a Hummer. Met him at a concert in Michigan too. Great performer. He literally sounds the same on stage as he does on his records.
Ridiculousness brought me here!
i just realize he existed, and i love his style!!!!!!!!!!
Yelawolf is my favorite wrapper hes amazing I would love to meet him some day hope it happens
