It was really dope to see that bit where Justin asks a sensitive question, management tries to intervene but Yelawolf is eager to answer the question because of HOW it was asked. TCM really that guy.

So good. Not just asking amazing questions, but the seasoning of a great interviewer and journalist to sit back and just let him answer for as long as he needed. Amazing!

Wow that was pretty powerful! Stay true Wolf!

Good interview, yelawolf is in my top 5 ...

He’s basically confirming that the whole issue was over his use of the confederate flag, which was very common amongst artists of all races from the south, but some people can’t grasp it’s not necessarily meant to be a symbol of racism but more of a symbol of southern pride, I get the confusion but it wasn’t used with ill intent by guys like yelawolf or plenty of black artists like Andre 3000 amongst others

However, Yelawulf admitted he was wrong for doing it. So, obviously, that flag doesn't mean just mean, "southern pride". I'll never understand why folks will say, it's not about race, when, clearly, that flag was waved under a foundation of racism and, later, an apartheid system in the south, not to mention that the foundation of the entire US is centered around racism, sexism and classism.

@anachronismic

Saying it's about southern pride kinda misses what he's actually saying. He explicitly says that the reason he, and 3k, and everyone else was using it, was as a repurposing and reclamation of the symbol from it's original context, which is as a symbol of racism. And ultimately his conclusion was that that task is not for him to be carrying on, as a white dude. How you got this take from that interview makes no sense to me.

This is why I'll listen to any interview by Justin Hunte and/or Sean Evans; asking the question no one ask or in a way that is different enough to be worthy of a real, quality response.

Thoughtful

Yeah I think Justin can definitely be a Vlad, but a more socially conscious driven interview that can really extract what needs to be extracted from the music and from the moments verses just having artists tell you about it.

i know he gets a lotta hate but i love him, this interview legit

Thank You Yela. I've been a fan since Box Chevy. I'm glad you can be honest about this. It sucks that you had to be the example for this to play out. I just hope you can understand both sides of the situation. Maybe one day black and white people can come to understand each other on a case by case basis but, everyone has to understand where each individual is coming from in the process.

I love the YelaWolf be who you are dude , you don’t have to explain yourself to people who are on a mission to misunderstand you….. their problem, not yours. 💯 and I’m sure you straightened it out.

Much respect Yela

It's kinda hard to listen to Yelawolf man, he's so deep in the sauce that I feel for him in my soul because I have so many family members who struggle to the day with it. I don't think hes a bad dude, I think his alcohol gets in the way of his career.

When you have love for the hip-hop community and you stand tall and side-by-side with all the other artist in the committee part of it no matter what color the skin is or you’re racist POS.

He's such an underrated artist, I love him and Royce too, but being from tn, and having a mixed family too, rebel flag isnt thought of a racist, i remember bone crusher and david banner head to toe rebel flag, i get the what it represented in the past, but I think its cool that they tried to put a positive or even just a nonracist spin on, kind of how certain bloods or crips have slightly opened up an understanding that a percentage of ppl generations before you made it seem like if you have pride in were you come from, means your one way. Unfortunately bc they are still evil ppl that make the general public associate red/blue bandanas, or the rebel flag with violence and racism, i dont see it being accepted outside of your neighborhood, i could walk into a gas station in the hood where i live with a rebel flag on my tshirt, see a black dude with a draped in their colors, and 98% of the time its gonna be my homie, or my cousin and it'd be a positive moment, but put him a few towns over, or me in cali or NY, it'll be a way dif outcome.

You asked the question with such care, and ultimately he didn’t answer in kind. He still sounds very entitled and skirted around the topic without any real resolve. But this is why you are respected Justin - you asked with intention and not as a passing question on a tick list as most would.

Yeah, that whole issue seemed a little weird because the people that were involved never said he himself actually said anything. I’m a fan of both of them, but at the time I really didn’t know what to think because honestly ever since the whole slaughterhouse debacle, Royce made a lot of really weird choices at that time. I will never understand how Royce, Crooked, and Joell we’re all asked about it in interviews before the rise and fall of slaughterhouse album came out. They all said the same thing. All three of them wanted to stay on shady, they all three acknowledged Eminem really cared about their group and wanted them to be successful as possible and the whole reason Glasshouse never came out was because they couldn’t get Joe in the studio to record it. The minute it became an issue with Joe versus the other two Royce changed his whole story and acted like Joe was never the problem but you can go watch an interview Royce did on the breakfast club where he pretty much says the same thing crook said. I honestly didn’t know when this stuff happened where Royce was coming from because he was having weird beefs at the time it felt like.. and Royce hasn’t made sense. I was actually glad to hear this response and hear the respect he has for Royce.

Yet there are thousands of hip hop songs that sample music made by white people. De La Soul's "Three Feet High and Rising " is a Johnny Cash lyric for example. I'll never understand why people have to gatekeep music so much instead of just letting people make and listen to whatever they want too. There's black people who sing country and punk rock, and there's white people who play reggae (Bob Marley was half white i want to add and experienced racism during his upbringing from other black people hating him for being white. Look it up) blues, and jazz and do so respectfully, but it's always people like you who gotta turn something positive and uplifting into something negative and make it all a racial issue instead of just simply enjoying music, and being hapoy that people appreciate your culture. The definition of racism is "Feeling your ethnicity is superior to others", so by saying certain ethnic groups are just "A guest" to the music you're being racist by the true definition of it. Two wrongs don't make a right, and it's wrong to say that. Because of this line of thinking we will never move forward as a society, and you will continue to create more and more division and problems where there wasn't any.
