Yelawolf Signs with Interscope

[Almostlity]

Looks like Jimmy just found his next pet project…

A big birdie tells me that Yelawolf has officially signed to Interscope Records. Again, buzz+climate created a bidding war, but it seems Jimmy Iovine was highly motivated. Congrats to the Alabaman! Now usually I just pretend to be interested in people, but I’m honestly intrigued by this fellow (and I enjoy his Zannel). Fans who were introduced to Yelawolf’s twang on Juelz Santana’s “Mixing up the Medicine” may need to ease into his unfiltered solo work, but I like his southern-comfort-in-his-own-skin. It’s definitely attracted some vets (Bun B, Travis Barker, the Neptunes, etc), not to mention, everyone who saw Yelawolf at SxSW left raving as well. So that’s no small feat.

Congrats to Yela, and let the Em comparisons unfortunately commence… again.

Is he good at least?

Weird that you just posted him today.

I only heard of him today and listened to a few songs. Yeah he's good. Got his own style. He sort of mixes punk rock and his skating style with hip-hop. Has his own image going on.

Is better than Asher and can flow pretty tightly.

Em comparisons will just happen with every single white rapper until Em is dead and buried and there's been at least... 20-40 new successful white rappers over time. I'm talking maybe 100 years lmao. It's pretty annoying and bullshit racism especially with Yelawolf, nothing like him. Ridiculous.

Yeah this is good news anyway. Yelawolf has a lot of respect for Em, said he's like the best recording artist he's heard period and is like a fucking robot. I think they could do a nice collab.

Embase is right, the dude has a real dope flow. I've read/heard many good things about him too.

However, from what I've seen the dude can't skate for shit.

horrible name

[Mikey1990]

never heard of him until today
any good songs?

[embm]

intrstin though dnt kno who he is

[AbramIsaac]

Eh...

He puts work into his lyrics, but his vocal style...no thanks. His pronunciation is hailed as "unique" by quite a few, but it's really just the Northern California (Lost Koast) type of style with a hick accent added.

I can get past the way he talks, but I think I'd rather listen to some Humboldt County Hip-Hop instead. Better content, but that's just my opinion.

Best rap song I've heard in years... This is off his mixtape 'Trunk Muzik'. Whole tape sucks, except for this track and that one with Raekwon. But for real this guy moving to Interscope, I really hope this guy collabs with Eminem in the future. That would be fucking epic... If it was as dark as that track then omfg. Definitely isn't wack, his dope as fuck when he wants to be.

He's on the hook on dis song http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x81x71 ... -new_music
Dis 1's pretty sick with Bun B http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4Dj4A0G ... re=related

Yelawolf lives near me in Alabama and no one from this area has never made it famous, so this is a big deal for me. I've known about him for awhile now and have been waiting for him to blow up.

Listen to "Good To Go" (feat. Bun B). Flow.
