Yelawolf: Trunk Muzik/ TM 0-60 / Radioactive

No the fact that Drake appears on it plus that awful intro thing with Bun claiming Drake.

I knew thats what you meant. I was using sarcasm to help drive home the point that the album sucks shit.

I knew you knew, but was deciding to ignore your obvious trolling.

the pimp c record was better i thought

how is "trolling" to point out that a legendary and gifted MC is audibly changing his style to sound more like a popular lowest-common-denominator flavor of the month cheesecake TeenBeat "rapper"

good thing he's doing all them hashtags raps now. teenage girls are gonna get weak in the knees when they see this fuckin guy

bun's always regarded rap as a business first so godspeed you black emperor but after listening to a little of the new bun album i think i'll just keep warm with my memories of what was

oh come on dude, you pretend like you never post purposefully inflammatory shit to rile people up, but at the risk of being stupid and taking you at face value, I do not hear that at all, I don't think he sounds anything like Drake, he's slowed down, sure, but I just don't hear what you do

tho i suppose a closer listen couldn't hurt.
I'm currently sort of immersing myself in this year's top of the pop hip hop albums to get caught up, one more is fine

I saw Yelawolf here in town the other night. He put on an energetic, brief set. I was satisfied.

"good thing he's doing all them hashtags raps now. teenage girls editors at the source are gonna get weak in the knees when they see this fuckin guy"

haaah

does anyone really view drake as a sex symbol though? i mean, plies and the-dream have done popular love songs too, but its obv not about looks in their cases

lol dude was on a soap opera like rick springfield and shit, come on son

he shoulda used his first name instead. more appropo if he was goin around under the moniker "Aubrey"

i understand drake being seen as a sex symbol even less than i understand drake being seen as an adequate singer/rapper

what is WRONG with people in this world

yelawolf on the other hand!

drake is just kind of conventionally handsome?

conventionally average. he looks like a slob.

I don't think Drake is particularly attractive but it doesn't surprise me that he's seen that way by young folx.

I thought Yelawolf was hott on the front of the mixtape and he looks pretty good on the new one too, but his black trenchcoat haircut concerns me.

lol otm

there's just nothing remarkable about drake's look. he's joe schmoe, mr average. with eyes set too far apart, like a dolphin/like justine henin. no angles to his face at all.

yeah yelawolf's longer hair is really not good but he has a pretty amazing face beneath all that.

conventionally average. he looks like a slob.

i think his lack of stylishness is part of his appeal to women tbh. it codes him as hetero-masculine in a jockish way (which offsets his otherwise wimpy non-aggressiveness) in a way he wouldn't if he was fashion-obsessed like kanye or whoever. i mean, you can get away with that if you're as suave and macho as t.i., but drake is neither of those things.

^^^ I think this is spot on. Lex i think what you see as "mr average" a lot of ladies would see as "dude next door" who'd maybe be able to fix their drain pipe.

i guess, but he doesn't have that physically prepossessing alpha male quality of most jockish sex symbols (whether "fake jock" celebrities like, idk, channing tatum, or actual sportsmen)

slouching, unshaven, thick-necked, unstylish, pig-eyed. what no i cannot accept this as a sex symbol.

ha, i'm going to draw a distinction here that doesn't apply to drake because he is neither of these things: kanye west is fashionable; t.i. is stylish

lex this may blow your mind to itty bitty pieces but women don't necessarily love their men super-groomed

i think his eyebrows have something to do with it tbh

lex this may blow your mind to itty bitty pieces but women don't necessarily love their men super-groomed

yeah neither do i, necessarily, but there has to be SOMETHING there

drake basically just looks like a less flamboyant jersey shore dude

thanks for the new display name lex

loving this discussion
he's like vin diesel's scrawny developmentally disabled besweatered cousin

The latest signing to Eminem’s Shady Records label, Yelawolf will play his debut UK shows in Manchester and London this June.

Envision a humid world of slow-rolling Monte Carlos and slaughter houses; meth labs and rusting Mossberg’s, inked up arms and haircuts that look like they’ve been chopped by hatchets. Trunk muzik. Southern Pine trees, smoking pine, and pine boxes. Call him Catfish Billy or Yelawolf; just don’t go make him go pop the trunk on you.

!!!

This is pretty #based:

The ending still makes me smile though.

Also this is way better and yeller than the billing would suggest. Gives me some hope that the Eminem helmed album won't be a disaster:

that bizarre is p. good! cool beat and w/ a mercifully short bizarre verse

lol @ use of yeller in tims post\

how is this ft. yelawolf? begrudging contractual obligation to bizarre?

Holy shit at that alien love! real devin influence at play
"playing with rap like driftwood in an otter's paws" =!!!!

this knocks

He's playing in London next month, kinda wondering if he's worth seeing live.

Yes, from what I've heard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=borbCqM43ps

Never heard this before. Super fun imo.

Saw him in London the other week and he's really got this total nailed-down intensity live. Like, total command of his voice, whether he's doing double-time or when he's being more dramatic, on Pop The Trunk etc. Also he managed to totally nail the bruised fake defiance at the start of 'Love Is Not Enough' - the whole "I got me, bitch..." when you can hear he's saying the exact opposite.

Also for all the lol Jesse Pinkman jokes, everyone in the audience seemingly looked like Combo or Badger.

i can't believe i didn't get in and go HOLY FUCK THAT WAS AMAZING all over this thread after that show - i swear i actually remember doing that but it must have been twitter

yelawolf fans are very tall

yeah i went to that show it was awesome and kinda lol @ at the face of uk hip hop

Also he walked past us in the queue and said hello like 2mins before he went onstage. No nonsense.

also he would totally get it

i think there's a little WS going on around here too re: yelawolf
