- Rapper Yelawolf returned to VladTV after over a decade since his last interview on the platform. The music artist detailed his upbringing in Alabama and Tennessee, highlighting his rebellious teenage years filled with skateboarding, drugs, and evading trouble with the law. He also talked about his introduction to Hip-Hop before experiencing homelessness and moving back to the south to hone in on his image. Continuing to develop his sound while living in an Alabama trailer park, Yelawolf eventually moved to Atlanta and signed with Ghetto Vision Entertainment. After gaining a buzz through hooks and merging rock, country, and rap, he secured a major deal with Interscope through the release of his "Trunk Muzik" mixtape. The Interscope deal paved the way for a partnership with Eminem's Shady Records and a number of notable releases and collaborative EPs. To hear Yelawolf detail his life and career, check out the full interview above.

GET RYAN UPCHURCH AS A GUEST!!
Probably one of the most versatile dudes in hip hop been listening to him since I was in highschool. Still listening today
You can definitely tell Yelawolf does not trust Vlad lol. Hes normally a lot more friendly.
Could be. Or he’s sober lol
That's what I thought
Seems like he's taking benzos
There's a bigger audience here too who if y'all don't recall called him a racist white boy redneck
@@slum4510I’d say sober
I met Yela BEFORE he became famous while down in Gadsden Alabama building a log house. Really humble & intelligent individual. He has definitely came a long way since then.
Tell us more - how was he?
I met him too I was working front desk at a TownePlace Suites when he was touring Love Story, It was really brief but he was dope. Nice guy
Cap
Yelawolf is scared of Bama mfer is never there. 💀
"Sometimes Y" is the best rock album I've heard in DECADES ... And he's a hell of an MC as well. Most overall talented artist I can think of..
Yelawolf straight up legendary!!
What rock band is in again?
Sometimes Y is the rock album
😂
I don't even know what to say
@@damonscarface2063 definitely need to listen to his music if you haven't before
He’s So underrated it’s crazy. He has word play skills like no other
For real. I cannot understand why this guy is so underrated. It makes no sense to me.
Agreed!🤘🏽
Yelawolf is one of my favorite artists. Thanks for this Vlad
Same! He’s one of my all time favorites 🤘🏽
So glad you brought Yela back! Great interview. He deserves way more recognition for what he's done in music🔥🤘
Hell yeah! Absolutely!🤘🏽
Yelawolf gonna keep it authentic when it comes to the art.
This why the people that been listening to him before even shady still love this dude. Always been the same except where he’s learned, improved and mastered.
Thumbs up for Yelawolf not Vlad
ima be completely honest , shady never did shit to market wolf , love story didnt go gold because of shady , it went gold because of motherfuckers like me who traveled around the country doing promo for free and hung 5000 flyers around nashville , yeah the shady cosign was cool but his fanbase has always carried his promo , i have the posts and videos of all the shit we did on the street team, guerilla marketing , flyers in skate shops , smoke shops u name it we were there
Killed it on the shady cypher 🏆 🐐 em Stan’s gonna get mad but his verse was better
Forget genres, aint no box you can put Yela in unless its gotta bowtie on it! This man is more than a rapper he is an artist. A true living representation of the word. Love Story is one of the best albums ever made. Slumerican Made!
🤘🏽
You definitely deserve more recognition for this!
Yelawolf has so many great songs...his black sheep album with Caskey is the best album in 25 years
"Rock N Roll Baby" is incredible. So is "Radio"
Which Radio? 😊
@@HavocsBells on Sometimes Y
@@MinivanmusicianBoth are pretty good, but that's my favorite too!
Great interview, yela is for sure a goat
Yela doing another hiphop album is the best thing in years!! An absolute legend, one of the best to ever do it!!
So good to see Yelawolf!!!!!! Thank you so much for doing the interview. Rare site to see him sit down like this too.
Wolf not a big fan of vlad. Watch his other interviews
Bro he hasn't got a gun to he's head he agreed to the interview
My big bro put me on to Yelawolf back in 03 or 04 ish when he would make moves in BHam.
great interview, love this!
Yelawolf a real ass dude. He seems like a a$$hole but the more I watched these he’s just a real dude that ain’t about any kinda bs. He knows what an interview can do and twist his words and he makes sure that ain’t happening ever again.
Been here since pop the trunk premiered on world star what 14 years ago?
Just like Kendrick with high power on world star
@worldstar use to be the joint. Scroll thru videos everyday. I’ve found some of my favorite artist from them before people knew who they were.
He’s actually super cool very genuine extremely real!
Happy mothers day to all the mothers out there especially mama wolf.
Yelawolf is the best
Phenomenal interview . Much love and success to yela
Yellawolf is an amazing lyricist! And 1000% one of my all time favorites 🏁💪 Awesome interview
Yelawolf is underrated, I think his flow and style of rap is harder than Marshall. Plus, he's himself and not trying to be someone else. We fks with him in Florida. Yessir!!
Wow man I just became a yela wolf fan, what a knowledgeable stand up dude.
As soon as I heard gadsden Alabama, he's been thru the REAL STRUGGLE too!!!!
Been there, Done that!!!!!
That's a FUCT UP PLACE!!!!!
Dude put in his work and keeps it 💯
Don’t make me pop the trunk 🤘
The way Vladimir says okay after each response irritates me to no end
It's just a verbal fade/transition
Same!
Going to meet Yela in Bristol VA tonight at 6 ! Can't wait to meet you bro 💯
One of my favs...Yela!!!
Gotta watch this my dawg
This feels like he not a fan of vlad.
I wished he asked him about the Royce da 5’9 situation 🥲
Nah
What exactly is there to know though?
@@HavocsBells was Royce accusation right how and where did he get that information from being called a racist is serious accusations
@ChocolateDon929 I think he addressed it in a way. It wasn't him, if it was said, and he wasn't going to throw anyone under the bus either. I would have been interested to know the conversation that went down around it though.
@@HavocsBells exactly!!! 🎯
How do I get in touch with Yelawolf to get one of his tattoos? I had a very similar thing happen to me with the psych stuff and that resonated with me heavy.
Very interesting
We neeed a wale & yelawolf record 🔥 🔥
Literally watching peanut butter falcon right now and as this poped up
Shout out to Yelawolf for staying authenticly yourself the whole way through. No one else sounds like you . also shout out to sharing with us your story with all the ups and downs. Id love to see you smile more homie. You have alot to be proud for . Also cheers for always coming to New Zealand we appreciate big artists making the effort when they come from ages away to our country :)
Love yela. U should get Ritz next
Been a long time!!! Decade+ since the last Vlad and Yela collab.
Finn said, "Fuck 'em!" 😂🎉😊😊😊
HE IS A LEGEND!!!!! Love this dude ❤️❤️❤️
I've been a Yelawolf fan for a long time. He's grown a lot over the years. Interesting guy. 🌟⚡
Underated wolf !! 🔥
This is dope
dJ Vlad wit da heat🔥🔥
@yelawolf I didn’t see the golf coming. That’s wild. Wakesurfing or racing something… btw I have a stock 2wd 77 k5 with your name on it. Holler
❤❤❤ Thank you so much
Yelawolf has been in this game for a min. Love his work respect the grind.
Can’t wait for this album. Yela is the fucking man
I like yelawolf. He reminds me of the maturing Eminem.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE TO GET THAT HAT ????
One of the best to ever do. Yela is a goat
Yelawolf ⚡️🤘🏼⚡️ (criminally underrated)
I love how real he is. I love how he is telling how he kept picking himself up and kept moving, kept pushing to get where he wanted. I like how he admits he was broke numerous times. A lot of artists stunt like they always had money and always was on. So it's refreshing to hear a real one speak and talk about the failures and the let downs, and still keep on the grind. Much love and respect to Yela and his team. 🫡
Love this Interview - would have loved a question about the Royce Da 5'9 Diss lines that came out a while ago.
Mike. Wth was tou doing in Killeen Texas?
YELA! ⚡️
This dude doesnt give a shit about wolf, its like hes just letting him fill in the blanks of his fact timeline, to not even dig into the TMR era at all was insane and you can tell yela knows it smfh
If I’m not mistaken, I think he’s performing today in North Carolina right down the road from me in Black Mountain
I've been listening to Yela since before radioactive came out,
😊😊😊. Greatest video ever @yelawolf. They still trying to slingshot your ideas.
TAKE CARE GOD BLESS🙏🙏🙏
Yela 🔥
Yes!!!!
So cool this man went fishing. Idk any other rappers that have done it
The most true artist of all time. And all time great.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 wolf is a goat
Yelawolf in his own lane. I've been a fan for years. Dudes a beast
Yelawolf was pretty solid as a rapper💯‼️
Is*
Thank you for telling your story 😊❤🫂🙏🏽💚
Yelawolf the goat
That Album Creek Water didn’t make it but what it did do was make my ears check back into rap lyrics. Creekwater gave me the same feeling I got after listening to Goodie Mob’s Still Standing Record. Just like this is the shit and you could feel the storm about to come.
Antioch represent!!! Born and raised right here
@yelawolf is an icon in music and I love the interview it’s really inspiring and I salute him for fighting and grinding to accomplish what he did. The only thing I disagree with is Struggle being the king of country rap. It’s not for me to say who is but I can think of a few that is way more capable of holding that title. But I like Struggle and his music there’s definitely no hate but I’m just being real.
Is this the same Yelawolf that was on the radio in the Bay Area for battle rap Fridays in the early 2000's?
ALRIGHT HERE WE GO, THE WHOLE INTERVIEW IS HERE, WELCOME TO VLADTV!!!! This is your first time here, so I wanna start in the very beginning. Yelawolf, always a pleasure, until next time.... PEACE!!!!
Watched peanut butter falcon last night it's legit
Have you ever skated pipes I skaked a lot barefoot camelback mountain Scottsdale Az were I grew up
Yela needs to do a track or an album with Nergal.
Bro should remix country roads!!
No DOUBT about IT😂🎉😢😮😅❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😢😊😊😊😊😅😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My babe ⚡️❤️
Love Yela!! I share a pretty similar story. Same age, never made it though. I'm more about rock, but i do rap also. Just finished rock/blues album 'Blue Stone'.
Be *amazing* if Yela listened to my album. I record in a shed at end of my yard. Everything you hear, bar the live drum track, is myself - bass/vocals/guitar.
Next a piano album. Still trying even though i know, at my age - esp being female, i stand no chance. Soon to be kicked out from my home too :( Yelawolf - pluck me up! lol
This was a great interview, dude needs to write a book.
Peace & Love! JoKa x
Not to take away anything from Yelawolf or anybody else but bone thugs did a really good country song with mo thugs back in 2000 I believe called ghetto cowboy. There's a video for it and everything they were definitely ahead of the curb
Yelawolf has a ghetto cowboy song prob sampled the one you're talking about.
Professor
💯
This guys story is great...he never gave up until he made it big time..
Thought it was my auntie
Mgk held his own. I KNOW that beard is weird line lives rent free in marshals mind.
SLUMERICAN MADE
I remember when his LA leakers freestyle was poppin that shit was hot 🔥 🥵
Wolf is a goat been a fan since day one I seen a lot of talent back in the day
Im not even half way through your story and understand why I feel so drawn to you. ❤💛
Much love yela
