[TheDivoProject]

[SwaggerSoSexy84]

hes so damn sexay! hmm damn

[jlindy614]

Sweet hair

[elementality901]

holy shit lol this guy is so dumb i cant take it

[RapperFiorentino]

Ain't that a bitch? its almost 2012 and the term "wigger" is STILL being fucking used. Lemme explain something real quick. The way a person is, the way he acts, talks ecc is determined by the fucking environment in which you grow up. A white boy that grows up on hip hop/rap, who lives that culture, is gonna talk THAT way. Skin color has NOTHING to do with it. It's the same fuckin' thing if a black kid grows up in a white neighborhood listening to classical music. Reverse racism is BULLSHIT. pce

[ChrisHp617]

@RapperFiorentino yes.

[Nikkideniro]

Can someone please tell me what "acting black" is???

[dogwater2742]

i know what he's sayin, but the way he said it came out stupid.. comin from born in alabama but been in atlanta since elementary white dude.

[thedesertsux]

much support to a fellow white rapper...

[MissBibaDiva]

Sexy and smart. I like him and his music.

[spicyland83]

I swear its people like interviewers, magazines and dumbasses that push race into every hip hop scene and try to create division. Hip hop is about inclusion, shut up or ask an intelligent question. Five top white rappers of all time my ass

[MONEYLYRICS]

bro he has fake teeth.

[SweetCeej]

I'd never boo this dude, he kills every set he's on Michaels one of my fav rappers! Period

[tasha5421]

hear him say somethin about turning into a beast main illuminati main yo yela midwest need ya to swing thru

[1bdjlegacy]

2:45-3:25 YelaWolf spoke the truth! Hip-Hop is international and shouldn't be depicted by race,therefore; it doesn't matter what color a person is. Hip-Hop is an art form and self expression and people often forget that. As far as a "TOP" whatever goes(might be off subject),it's nothing more than just a comparison and a label. That's why it's become so hard for any artist to come out for the simple fact that critics are so quick to compare and label an artist after another existing artist

[Poetiksound85]

@1bdjlegacy what you say is true but you know who created the art .. respect the true artists and not the color .. but its always whites who make EVERYTHING about race .. get over it already lets note that its getting OLD

[veeohlehtah]

top 5 white rappers? LOL vlad is a dumbass

[mynumberonehat]

BOO'd ?! who the fuck boo'd u?!

[mik0logy]

eah of course yelawolf looks like an american indian, except for his white skin and all.

[torchLo]

@dougnamandasname lmfao

[xDcherryPie]

@dougnamandasname

Yela wolfs dad is Cheroki and his mom is white w/ Native American ancestry

He is hardly white , that is why he's so "cool" and "great" to you little white boys

[adammcginnis2360]

YOUR WHITE!!!!! NOT BLACK, SO THAT MEANS YOU DONT HAVE BRAIDS AND YOU DONT RAP YOU PIECE OF FUCKING WORTHLESS TRASH. MAN I HATE WIGGERS. LET ME GUESS, YOUR DAUGHTER IS "DADDY'S LIL' ANGEL/PRINCESS? YOU GOT YA "FAM" TATTED CUZZ? FUCK THE WORLD MENTALITY? YEA, YOU'RE THAT DUDE CUHH!!!

[23NIKE23AIR23]

@adammcginnis2360 umm......wtf r u talkin about?

[adammcginnis2360]

@23NIKE23AIR23 im talking about how pathetic wiggers are

[23NIKE23AIR23]

@adammcginnis2360 u made no sense in that other comment and r u talkin about Yelawolf?

[adammcginnis2360]

@23NIKE23AIR23 you wouldnt understand and yea i am

[23NIKE23AIR23]

@adammcginnis2360 stop being racist i think ur just jealous that Yela can rap and u cant and he is more G than u so stfu

[adammcginnis2360]

@23NIKE23AIR23 hahaha you're funny... actually i rather act my color (white) and not base my life around trying to act like a nigger wearing du-rags and getting tattoos on my neck. its fucking pathetic. wiggers make me sick... and if your stupid ass looks up to this faggot wigger even the slightest bit... you're just as pathetic. if your life is revolved around trying to be a "G" then my god have mercy on your soul..

[23NIKE23AIR23]

@adammcginnis2360 ur retarted little boy,getting a tattoo on ur neck doesnt mean ur trying to act black,and umm no1 really wears du-rags any more so i dont know where u were heading with that.......and it doesnt matter how u act....just be who u wanna be it doesnt matter about color cuz we are all human.

[xDcherryPie]

@adammcginnis2360

"white" boys aren't really white anyway more like pink. LOL

[DFloVEVO]

@23NIKE23AIR23 shut up fool, go back to munchin on your dads dick

[23NIKE23AIR23]

@DFloVEVO thats all u have to say? and umm............it took u long enough to write back.

[loychik0311]

check out Machine Gun Kelly thats a white dude who will tear up the rap game, yelawolf aint got shit on him

[canvasjumpman87]

@loychik0311 Yelawolf would kill him!!

[Gairland13]

@loychik0311

Yelawolf has been around A LOT longer than MGK. He's alright but he's still very young and an amateur. I've been listening to both before they even blew up and everyone was on both sets of nuts.

[goodbryce]

How dose it feel to have no skill?

[LilJaySTL]

keep ur head up bra u beastin this shit hommie

[sosomrclean1]

HE IS THE SHIT.

[pictuqBELA]

fuckin' background beat! it sucks!

[Viberationz]

@pictuqBELA lol? you idiot THIS IS HOW ROCK THIS IS HOW WE ROCK

[pictuqBELA]

@Viberationz sry but thiz is a bullshit beat for an interview, fool! when yelaa talks kinda whispering, you don' understand anything...

[DustyDeNeefe]

check me out yela's my cousin

[Rorshein]

Cant wait for Bubba and Yela to release that album.

[stkarma]

He makes a valid point but no matter how many people have that view on things there will always be the people who try to compare him to other white rappers. He has it kinda hard in my opinion because so many people say he has to live up to what Eminem started with white rappers.

[cdub757nor]

Aint a fan but he made a valid point...jus listen 2 da spitta not da image lol I can only imagine vladz face afta he said dat

[playherone]

who the fuck does this guy think he is LOL yelawolf is garbage, and gets wayyyyy too much credit.... the beat in the backround of this video is even fuckin worse tho!!! fuck!

[moedee1]

@playherone Who the fuck do you think you are ? Are you better than Yelawolf ?

Let us hear your rap . You are the one that listens to garbage .

[BigUpsKonviction]

Yela is the truth.

[eavied]

@THELYRICALLYDISSBOSS

i guess if you wanna claim that viewpoint, you go for it. way to be simple-minded.

[eavied]

@THELYRICALLYDISSBOSS

i guess if you wanna claim that viewpoint, you go for it.

[THELYRICALLYDISSBOSS]

HAHAH YELAWOLF SAID EMINEM IS NOT ONE OF THE BEST .

[wicketts16]

I live in Albuquerque, NM. Yelawolf was booed off stage at a Wiz Khalifa concert, and I wasn't at that concert. But he just had a small concert last night, that shit was awesome. He staged dived from a fucking 10 foot tall equipment rack into the audience, shit was awesome. Yela fan for life.

[eavied]

well catfish billay, for the record, as a country girl, i love ya, and you are one smart fella. you know your game, know your music, know what it means to just be hip-hop and not "white" hip-hop vs. "black" hip-hop

take us back to that old-school shit... the days where a whole, creative album meant something of importance instead of just busting out an auto-tune single and disappearing into the black whole.

methinks you'll be one to last, one to remember, if not one to aspire to be.

god bless

[THELYRICALLYDISSBOSS]

@eavied

ITS ONLY BLACK HIP HOP .

[Crocketman1990]

Yeah EL-P!!!!!

[slymmfish]

LOL @ "its like counting your black friends"...lol, that was a very intelligent way to handle that question...Right On YELA!! I like this dude, and he's not a kid ...he's like 31 and he's got sense...do ya thing Yela..That song "Love is Not Enough" is one of my favorites!

[DaPromoTiOnAL]

i would of thought this nigga is a nazi

[king52616]

Black people did invent rap to any ass whole who says we did not thats not to say that white people can not do it but dont you dare forget the originators thats the issue white people had nothing to do with the upbringing of rap music it was a message from the young black youth to america on our everyday struggle and lifestyle and white people caught on to it like everything else this our culture so yes we will be offended if other people try to claim it but yelawolf is talented much success

[itstheiceman11]

@king52616

Everyone struggles at one point or another.

No one minority struggles more then the other.

You got your rich, middle class, and lower class.

Most people being somewhere in the middle.

5%-10% of Americans are rich.

Music doesn't have a color.

[pherd21090]

I think this dude is real as fuck man and at gsyrskl or whatever you name is down there he ain't hatin on the white people for listening to his music he's thing on the people hating on him because thy don't understand the music and saying pretty much because there prolly some rich kids wanting to be hood live through the shit he's talking about and you'll feel his music and if you can't relate you prolly won't like it

[americangangster86]

@FURIOUsFEROCIOUsFAMe hes gonna get better deals and hes gonna get more promotion. cuz hes white the rec execs are gonna fall back on trying to rape him money wise!

[RealNillaz]

@FURIOUsFEROCIOUsFAMe It is ONLY if you're going to hit mainstream status and even then you'll have to market yourself as an image 'acceptable' to white people (e.g. trailer trash white boy backed by an urban black crowd). This is why emcees like Celph Titled, Vinnie Paz, etc. will never blow up because they're white thug-type niggas which is an image largely swept under the rug by mainstream media.

[AntyJ146]

@FURIOUsFEROCIOUsFAMe 10 years ago it was quite the disadvantage, now the hip hop community is more accepting

[eddro]

I see you Yellaaaaaaaaaa..... do ya thing!!!!!!

[mutadeddeformity83]

anyways, this dude facial features reminds me of trent reznor if anybody

[mutadeddeformity83]

thats like saying whatever invention a man of one race creates its only meant for his people.according to this logic you cant wear genes and sag em because mr levi made em and didnt intend them to be worn that way.. and it annoys white people when you do, so how fuckin stupid is that.

[mutadeddeformity83]

so black people invented poetry?? lets be real here this is just hood poetry layered with instrumentals ha rhyming has been around for along time,just cause you added a beat dont mean you invented shit , its like what white boys did with your blues & rock and roll...just becuase a mother fucker made a rubber tires dont mean he invented the wheel

[kevo1990vicciolo]

@mutadeddeformity83 who cares white rappers kill it lyrically and actually write about something instead of talkin bout dumb shit havn money, hoes, an other shit that theyon even do . not steriotypin lupe's my favorite rapper.MGK wiz yelawolf Em mac currency hunnid millz, all rap bout real ass shit

[kevo1990vicciolo]

@mutadeddeformity83 who the fuck knows who invented poetry?? get ya goof ass

[kevo1990vicciolo]

@mutadeddeformity83 An my boy robbie sorenson from springfield illinois 17 be killin everybody .An hes white Springfield rappers dont play we dont get down with sellouts..

[bzava94]

[RBoogz2k9]

@TheDamianDeluxe why u sending me messages dude

[chevelle0508]

sht im from ny. tryna tell ppl bout this cat. bin on yela for a minute. creek water. yelarrrrr

[EricSchwin22]

Talent is what counts not the color of your skin...If you put yourself out there and do Live shows and give it 100% People will know about you and discover you.

[grygrskls]

Not that I don't think his music is sick, but he has no idea what he is talking about. And he uses the same old cliche's every artist uses in interviews: "I'm passionate about my music, I turn into a different beast when I'm on stage, I'm the artist you either love or hate". I don't get why he's bashing white people who associate with rap. If that's the case why is he doing what he's doing? He's pretty much saying he shouldn't be doing what he's doing.

[JurzeeDee7o3]

really...who cares?

[TheMisfits1977]

Color means nothing rap rock whatever talent is talent. jimi hendrix was a shining example of the other end of the spectrum ...the lsd help too i'm sure.

[NewJaruzerAtFL]

exactly man who gives a fuck, and he's right about the rookie shit at them shows haha. they give rappers a reason to bitch out dummies like that.

[BEEFM2M]

yelawolf hella wack

[BigLeagueFacialsInc]

[darkace585]

@EmceeGeek There are a lot of white rappers, it's just that most don't suck like Waka Flocka, Gucci Mane, and Soulja Boi. That means that they won't be mainstream.

[07liberian]

@brno22504 Yela Is Half-Native But He Passes For All White.



[FuckMainstream562]

Yelawolf white??? naw ninnnja that dude garbage what he know about ziplocks in the freezer??? homie my lil sis knows about it...white, black, purple whatever dude got talent..Humble

[AskYoMommaBoutMe]

Nothing wrong with white or any other color rappers. As long as they are cool with blacks and know and RESPECT where the craft they're doing originated....and keep that nigga word on silent.

[darkace585]

@AskYoMommaBoutMe Hip-Hop isn't just a black thing. It started more or less in the South Bronx, a place known for it's many Hispanic residents. Some of the first hip-hop rappers weren't even black or full black. People don't know that Grandmaster Flash is native American or that Kool Herc was half-Puerto Rican.
