Welcome to YoungHollywood. com What's up, Young Hollywood and Ray Ban, it's Michelle Marie, we're here at the Music Lounge at Indi Oasis.
I'm here with Yelawolf, we're going to take a little walk.
This is the line for the bare, can we bypass the line?
Let's do it.
This is what stars do.
Misfit Lab in the back and the cracks smoke pills through the streets, like an only one in fog. Mama's in the slaughterhouse with the hatchet, given dead meat, chopped early morning hog. I'm catching Z's like an early morning saw, when I woke up to the racket, young and pause.
I love that Coachella, there are so many rare finds out there. Are there any bands that you think are rare find that you're looking out for this weekend?
Um, yeah, yeah. My homey clever played me some shit and craze on the way here, these cats from South Africa.
I think I heard about that.
Yeah, man. They were nuts that I'm trying to see. I wanna see MGMT.
MGMT.
There's a band called The Freelance Whales that I heard for the first time outside by Southwest.
Well, I heard them first at the Harvester Hope Festival. And I heard them again outside by Southwest, they're retarded.
When did you first get into hip-hop? Have you always had this inside of you since you were a young kid?
Yeah, I'm an extremist, so like, once I decide that I want to try to do something, I'll just go fully in with it, you know. When I wanna, you know, just from being little and even like playing T-ball, but just completely knowing that I would be a pro baseball player one day. So it's just that.
Make it happen.
Yeah, eventually just finding out what I'm really, where my true talent is, you know. Which for me was writing, you know what I'm saying? I got a four by trucker specifically Southern Lu, I slugged on the chevy, broke up to bust your bubble. Fuck your mother, don't lie to your brother. You know yellow's trouble, call the police. Look at these bleeding knuckles. Alabama's elephant feet rumble. Get pounded and beat underneath the concrete like a street plumber.
If you were to pick a rare find in your closet, what would you have in your closet you could tell us about that no one else you think has?
I got some shit that no one, absolutely no one has. I have a Walmart windbreaker from like 1980 something, it was a stat jacket. Actually, I wore it to, you ever been to Miami?
I have been to Miami.
You been to like a Preve Mansion? I wore my jacket into those clubs. Um, needless to say, I got some looks, of course. I got some looks. But I was the only motherfucker in there with a Walmart jacket. I got this piece right here. This place called Alabama Trade Day. Every Sunday there's a Trade Day, there's like 1500 random Alabamians up on the mountain, trading fake gold and guns.
That is a rare find. No one else will know about that. Now, let me talk about your haircut. Can we see your hair?
Yeah, yeah. I mean like, music and fashion go hand in hand. I mean, I just decided one day I wanted a mullet hawk. And so, I went to the bathroom with the fucking hair clippers and got it done. This is all me, buddy.
This is all you.
Yelawolf, kicking it with my homeys at Young Hollywood and Ray-Ban. By the way, I need some more Ray-Ban glasses, so, you know what I'm saying? For this, I'm gonna need a sick pair of wayfarers. Holler back, y'all!
