I’m a day one fan of this man but, wish homie would get sober and actually address the whole situation. But then again, it’s easy to judge people we don’t truly know personally. I don’t have have the answers.

@Jesoteric Месяц назад

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

@jbrown767 Месяц назад

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 28 дней назад

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.

@rawproof 13 дней назад

For the phuck of it - Let me add - these terms black and white are made up labels by Gomes De Zurara - around 1450. The same slave trade was operating in Eastern Europe before moving to West Central Afrika. These labels black and white were used as marketing tools in a book he wrote to persuade slave traders from Spain and Portugal to free the Slavs aka Slavic people (where the word slave comes from) - and move the industry to Afrika. Peep this for the entire Lie That Invented Racism. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A0DJ6prP3K8.htmlfeature=shared

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.

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.

Just because he scratches records and you do likes the way it sounds doesn't mean he has supposed to have some poignantt political commentary.

@bdr113080 Месяц назад

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.

@dannybuchanan3661 Месяц назад

@mluna6702 it's a logo that uses a stereotyped image of a native American right down to exaggerating skintone that plays into dehumanisation of indigenous people. I don't want to get into other peoples morals here, its a type of caricature I wouldn't want to associate myself with personally. It sort of verges on parody to lay back and talk about how a symbol can come to represent hatred and talk about who is able and who isn't able to reclaim symbols generally showing that he's learned from those mistakes while still wearing a logo that's racist. If other people want to tie themselves to it or have some love for it or don't care about it I don't really care enough to tell you why you should.

This was definitely a good interview shout out to yelawolf, definitely want to check out his music. Now I understand why Royce5"9 was angry at him. But here's the thing. What ever issues that you have with Yelawolf should have been discuss behind closed doors. But you didn't. You trying to expose him by creating a diss track. Straight up Cloud chasing. And I make matters worse, you was on that fake doctor Umar Johnson, hotep, fake scamming woke shit. And I'm saying the word woke in the proper text unlike some of y'all incels and racist white folks. You try to out Yelawolf as a racist but what about some of the racist songs that your best friend Eminem came out with in his early twenties like a song the called Foolish Pride disrespect in black women. At least I can understand where Yelawolf is coming from, he wasn't being racist. It's just me 5'9 look ridiculous

@the-engneer Месяц назад

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. "Do not judge a man by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character " MLK Jr.
