Why isnt Eminem supporting Yelawolf?

[PAINKILLƎR]

Yela doesn't want Em's help maybe?

[SG.]

Maybe, but Em has NEVER done that. The only mixtape that had a new Em song was one of 40 Glocc's. Also, Yelawolf has done all these projects without asking for help. Yes, you could say "where's Eminem?" but you could also say "where's [insert artist here]?"

Well, that line on Our House maybe will mean that Em is gonna support Yela more, after seeing Yela's reaction.

Yela prob never even heard his verse in our house yet :P Joking I hightly dought it there on same label i assume he listened to there album just like slaughter house listened to radioactive.

Ive said this before. I have a theory that Em thinks Yela is such a great promising talent, that he wants him to find himself and make useful errors (see Radioactive). I also believe Em has told him about this, therefor the situation is good between Em and Yela. SlaughterHouse needs help, but Yelawolf has the same qualities in him as Eminem had when he came up. The only difference here is time. Em came up in a different space of time.
Yela will blow up. He will look for you, He will find you. And he will kill you.

No but seriously. I believe that Em wants him to grow and become the star that he is meant to be. Just listen to all the shit he does on his own! He is truly incredible!

Unlikely

Maybe he wants his artists to develop on their own. They don't need Em's promotion, they just need to put out some interesting music. Radioactive was less than stellar and Welcome to: Our House was "okay" at best.

[TRShitty]

I'm not just saying this because I want new Eminem material.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight. But hey, I'lll bite:

Dr. Dre and Eminem are not the same.

Dr. Dre has a history of discovering talent and using his production to blow artists up, from N.W.A. to D.O.C. to Snoop Dogg to Eminem to 50 Cent to Kendrick Lamar. His record isn't perfect (cough, Hittman, Truth Hurts). But he's a starmaker.

Eminem....not so much. He's a great solo artist. And he helped get 50 Cent signed to Aftermath. But Get Rich Or Die Trying had more input from Dre than Eminem. And his career defining song, "In Da Club," didn't have anything to do with Eminem. Who did Eminem blow up on his own, exactly? D12? Obie Trice? Not exactly Snoop Doggy Dogg and Slim Shady. (The less said about Cashis, Stat Quo and the Z-list All Stars, the better.)

The reality is Eminem cannot do for Yelawolf what Dre did for him. Eminem making beats is Michael Jordan playing baseball. He's not a producer like Dre's a producer. Also, Dre adapts to his artists. Eminem tries to turn his artists into him. (Got some teeth? Throw that dick.) Radioactive and Our House sound wayyyyy more like Recovery Eminem than Pop The Trunk Yela and 2009 Album Slaughterhouse.

That said, Eminem's supported Yela in a variety of ways. Signing him, producing him, rapping with him, promoting him...he might not be doing as much as you like. But what's the magic amount of promotion needed, exactly? If Eminem was all over a Yela album like a D12 album, wouldn't that be stealing the show?

Dr. Dre is a producer first and a rapper second
Kanye West is a producer first and a rapper second.
Eminem is a rapper first and a producer second.

If you're waiting for him to blow up Yela like Dre blew up him...get comfortable.

Hit the nail on the head with this one.

Smh Kendrick is already a "star", Dre didn't make him, Kendrick is self made... If Dre did "make" Kendrick into a star, Kendrick already had a body a work that made him already great. If he made Kendrick might as well put 2pac there too... but back to the topic I agree with what you said other than the issue I just addressed before

[Fury]

Eminem is a producer, but his style doesn't fit Yela's. While Yelawolf is as eclectic as they come, he's a bit out there and the type of beats he needs and that help him shine are either southern, punkish or kind of wacky.

[Fury]

Yeah but that's not his bread and butter. To be honest, he'd sound amazing on any beat.

[ImANoob]

even though yela has that clear, southern voice/style, he sound pretty damn good on a lot of varying beats.

[AbramIsaac]

Eminem doesn't have anything to do with those projects since Radioactive because they are not Shady/Interscope projects. They are Ghett-O-Vision projects. That's not to say that there is a division between teams, but the point is that Yelawolf is pushing on his own.

Eminem didn't come to him and ask him to put out mixtapes, and then refuse to be a part of them. Yelawolf knows what the people prior to him on Shady didn't seem to get--even if you're on a label, it's up to you to make your career. There's nothing wrong with that. Let him develop on his own.

Yelawolf will never be a mega star like Eminem or Lil Wayne, and that's fine. He's a unique and interesting talent that will continue to build his career with his team at Ghett-O-Vision. When it's time to put out an album, Eminem will be there.

[AbramIsaac]

Who's he had on his songs recently?

[cooper121]

If you ask me the best exposure em could give him is putting him on his album.
