Yelawolf Talks Ferguson + Raising A Biracial Child
Ойын-сауық
Yelawolf stopped by Ebro In The Morning and shared an important conversation on the issues of race and how it affects him and his bi-racial son.
On top of just race, they also spoke about the outstanding issue with police and shared their personal encounters with law enforcement, as well as what influenced his "arena music" sound.

Holy shit, Yelawolf was def the smartest one in the room by far. Maybe even everyone combined lol preach..
honestly im a pretty liberal guy, but the way that this guy ebro conducts interviews, asks questions, and the way his views are presented it comes off as being a demagogue on race issues and it also comes across as being very condescending as if every single white person remotely associated with hip hop needs to be checked by this dude to make sure there not "stealing" what he feels is copyrighted and trademarked by black people

For you people who may not know the Southern way of life (Northerners etc etc). We live by a different standard in the south. You don't have to be black to struggle down here. There are no segregated communities or schools. You live amongst one another. Poor w/ poor, wealthy w/ wealthy.

The north is the same way. Just because you are black/white does not mean you live with all blacks/white. You live where you can afford or are comfortable. The far west, and south western, areas are pretty big on race. Communities of just a specific race, or attacking people because they are a different race. Not all of it is like that, but it's a common problem you hear about when you hear about New Mexico, Arizona, California, etc.

Damn man I'm black (since that suppose to validate my statement these days) and I'm sick and tired of all these race issues, it needs to be talked about of course but I'm seeing a race divide between people again when it should never matter, why can't we have respect for those that are real to themselves, actually talented and that show respect for the culture and not leave everything up to race all the time, we are all human beings and we should all treat each other as such, like Kendrick said, fuck your ethnicity

Thanks man, I guess even if someone is trolling or is in strong conviction of their beliefs and very adamant of the things I disagree with wholeheartedly I have to still be able to keep my cool and not let it blind my foresight in everyone just loving all humans and respecting everyones culture and heritage because there is so much we can learn from one another if we are able to hold on to our culture and respect it and be willing to share it with others instead of saying oh no this is mine and you are white etc. so stay away, we have to learn that the world is bigger than just our block, ethnicity, culture, heritage, and race is only a socially systematic construct to keep us all segregated from one another, but like tupac said maybe people that share our vision can be the ones that plant the seed to others that may one day grow into the change that we want to see

imma take a shot everytime Ebro says 'let's fast forward'
Radio host is part of the problem of why there is a racial divide. But I love Yela's response @8:22.. Dude is so down to earth.
such a great interview!!
You hear his southern slumerican ooooozing in his music....he rocks the most..I love you Yellawolf
Rittz,lil wyte,Jelly Roll, Yelawolf,Eminem,HAYSTAK-Real white rappers
this interview went alot better than i thought it would...i been struggling with his new image and style a bit...then i talked to jellyroll recently about it and he opened up a whole new thought process...makes alot of sense..but he definately is pushing the envelope....i like his older music better, but this interview gave me dif. insight into this project..you guys gonna fuck with this new yela music? rittz is my shit times ten tho
yelawolfs hat is fucking fresh as a mafucker
Dope interview
Listening to the intro and first 3 or 4 songs on Radioactive I thought it was going to be awesome........ Then around the 7th song and on I was just shaking my head, not nodding
yeah this was sick, yela keepin it the realest
. You know what i can say and be proud to take from his interview discussion on controversy and his culture of his life style is infused within his music yela wolf dont see color what he sees is his love and passion for music he is a true humanitarian he is embracing love in his life aswell displaying how he feels and views how love should be embraced in his life the only way he knows how and his actions and his words clearly says it all
Dude is the truth ... Em saw a true MC in Yela and that alone speaks volumes... Big fan.. cant wait for #LoveStory ... #Slumerican #Rittz !
I saw Yelawolf play in Australia. Sydney. Small arena - packed - best rap show to date. Yela had the whole front floor and seats jumping and shaking the whole building. Best Show!

Notice how the interviewer tries to push the false idea that his kids are black when they are in fact biracial and not black. A white person cannot biologically make black kids. His kids are biracial. That means not black or not one race.
Has there been an interview involving E-Bro with a white person where he doesn't bring race in the entire interview? Dude is a joke.

I get it, maybe if it was first generation, or someone was shutting out black people, but this ain't raps first generation. I grew up listening to more rap than anything else, my mom grew up in LA raised on NWA and Tupac. Since I was a kid I been bumping rap. I was raised in it. And so were so many people, white black asian hispanic and etc. So honestly, unless a white guy starts shouting the N-word in a rap, shut up about it man. This rap, and hip hop is my culture now too. And every races. It's a global phenomenon lets get off this cultural appropriation bullshit. It's stupid.

You’ve gotta go back a long way to feel that way though."

"Scared police are the worse, you know? Once you scare a policeman you're in trouble!" Yela said it right...and unfortunately many police are scared of what looks unfamiliar to them; hence the violence today. Just something to keep in mind: where purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable. Everyone of us has to find our purpose and enrich lives, not be detrimental to life!
well when i met yelawolf he was with all of his kids and he was a down to earth dude.... and i think he carries himself in a way a lot of HUMANS should.
RELEASE DATE OF "LOVE STORY" PLEASE!
Wow you just melt me ❣️
So funny they asking him those questions with that quote on the wall.
One more music video pleause
Colt Ford and Bubba Spraxx do an awesome job of blending hip hop and country.
Salute to Yelawolf. Love you Yelawolf.
Yela handled dat industry typical u know what. Love u yela
I think it's interesting how Fefe and Yela met, not because of race, but they both make quite different types of music, punk-pop and hop. I do enjoy their song though, and I give them my wished of luck.
Tell me.. How is the European Tour going!! Missing You...
Good shit Yela. Cool ass dude right here. Keep on keepin on my dude. Slumerican made.
Its funny seeing him come from underground to big time. Me and my friend used to go to Atlanta and he would perform in front of like 20 people. Now he's performing in front of thousands***
I really want to get into rap music, but I'm having trouble finding artists to listen to. Any suggestions? I like Lupe Fiasco's style if that helps at all...

YelaWolf handled this interview perfectly. They pushed a few buttons but he was cool as shit. And stop blaming the radio people for doing their job, they have to ask these questions. I'm from Bulgaria and I follow all the big morning radio shows via KZread and I can honestly say this is the best station with the best hosts of them all.
I was born and raised in Missouri, i was there for the ferguson riots. It was crazy.....we gotta grow and not think so much about what color we are. We're all humans
Damm is this a political interview or a MUSIC interview how it should be?
well, this is exactly the point and what he is asking....how are you going to explain to your children that they will be treated differently because they look different than you essentially, and how will they deal with these situations when they are "targeted" due to their skin color? Not something you can relate to but something you have at least been to witness. This is why some ppl be lost cuz they parents ain't blatantly telling them what the fuck they will face out there.
Need yela back on here in 2019 talk tm3 g easy and post
I could stare at him all day long.... he's sooo F'ing gorgeous, and his children are stunning!!
