    Yela is definitely hard headed, stubborn and made some bad decisions, but he also is very created and innovative. His latest albums are the best examples, the man can do a rock album, a country album and it sounds dope af. Being independent suits him and I'm glad he took steps to apologize and clarify his position. Shame he couldn't get along with multiple legends, wishing him the best though because his music is certainly 💯

    Yelawolf will always have his fanbase that likes his music so he didn't need Shady to begin with. After 50 Cent, Shady Records became one of the worst labels out there for promoting their artists. It doesn't help that 99% of Shady Record's fanbase is just Eminem Stans. They just wanna hear Eminem. Also I don't think Eminem or his Stans were looking for the next great white rapper to carry his legacy. Every white rapper who tries to rap fast like Eminem is kinda corny. Want some examples? Listen to "Death to Mumble Rap." It's why White rappers like Mac Miller, Action Bronson, and Jack Harlow found success. They weren't trying to sound like Eminem.

    That's funny because Yela has his first ever top-40 hit right now, and highly-anticipated new album, "War Story". The general consensus was that Shady failed Yela, not the other way around. I fw with your content, but this video is definitely misguided and you should probably do better thorough research. Yelawolf is thriving right now and is arguably at his peak.

    This video is so misleading. For one, Yela got like 3 verses from Em. 2. The whole meltdown situation happened during the release of Trial By Fire. Not during Love Story .That was actually a whole few years AFTER Love Story.

He’s not on any charts, he’s not a bigger name than he could’ve been, like hello? Whether he has his own endeavors outside of rap or not, bottom line is nobody walking down the street gassin his shit up. He’s not a household name so yes, he’s failed Eminem because investments were made for his music since he wants to be idk ...maybe a musician before everything else happened and his music fucking flopped anyway and he didn’t carry on the be the next “great white rapper,” so we as a society still only notices Eminem as the only one that matters.

    I don’t agree with everything shared in this video. Eminem actually did appear on the Radioactive album. He did a verse on Throw It Up alongside Gangsta Boo (Bless her memory 🙏).
    Another issue that Yelawolf had with Shady Records was that the label wanted Ed Sheeran to sing the chorus in American You, which made no sense at all because he’s a UK based artist.
    Since Yelawolf left Shady Records, it hasn’t been doom and gloom. It’s not about what position an artist has in the Billboard or whatever chart or how much wealth is being generated. Yelawolf has gone on to create AMAZING work and is still dropping plenty of albums under his Slumerican label.

    I feel pretty confident he is in a better place now than he's ever been. He has freedom and a solid following. I don't think the mass popularity lane would equate to mass happiness. Eminem is a recluse hiding in a mansion and way too famous to have a good life. I hope the n-word stuff isn't legit.

    The only reason most people know yella is through eminem. Eminem didnt need to do anything else but do a couple features and announce hes on the label and the fans came and stayed. It was a good deal for both sides yella got bigger, em made some money and had a nice rapper on his label. With or without eminem or any label, yella will continue to put out good music his fans enjoy and eminem will do fine. No loss on either side

      Kind of a loss on Em’s side though, many artists came out and said that Shady Records did extremely poorly at promoting their artists, I mean, when yelawolf put out his album Trial By Fire, the only “promotion” they did for the album was Paul Rosenberg posting a picture of the CD on his ig.

    Trunk Muzik and Radioactive were both great albums for me during a great time. Hip hop had a void that was finally being filled with Yelawolf, Kendrick, KRIT, Cole, Joey Badass, Wale, Big Sean, Meek Mill, Wiz, YG, Nipsey, Dom, Drake, ASAP, Pusha, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, Tyler, Earl, Vince, Mac Miler, and so much more. It was a great time for music and hip hop was competitive and not at all biast or rigged. It just all came so organic. I listened to a little bit of Trunk Muzik 2, but after that i didn't stay too connected to Yelawolf. I feel like he just went back to his roots and ehat made him happy and ehat his core fan base really wanted frok him because in reality people still love that guy like the people that rocked with him on some day one shit. A lot of fans, like myself, stopped listening when he took out the hip hop aspect of his music and filled it with country, folk, rock, and soul. I still respect him though because he didn't care for trends, money, and fame. He just wanted to make music for himself and for his true fans.
    Edit: Btw Stereo was a sick ass mixtape and I liked that Yelawolf ass well.
