      too much like eminem? im pretty sure that isnt a bad thing considering he is arguably the greatest rapper ever.

      • Ro  | March 7, 2011 3:33 pm

        This guy sounds nothing like Cory Gunz, or Em. Only thing he has incommon with Em is hes white. With Cory Gunz, maybe the speedy flow? (but umm nah) …….

        Em “arguably the greatest rapper ever” Em, Could never be “the greatest rapper every” too much of a Gimmick, with all his wack and corny songs.

          This kid is brilliant. By referencing Em and Gunz, you’re just showing how little you know about rap history. Yela borrows from many outside influences, but he incorporates them in a way that is undeniably original, especially as far as the mainstream rap world is concerned.

          Yelawolf go hard, he good. Em’s wack songs? Maybe in 2010 i can agree wit that, but his old shit, like infinite hot as shit. He still good as fuck now too. everybody in this freshman class deserves bein in it for one reason or another.

    I don’t understand where this deep accent comes from. He talks perfectly normal but when he raps, he’s suddenly a hillbilly?

    • George  | March 3, 2011 4:32 pm

      There’s no rule about using accents in rap. Look at what Nicki Minaj is doing.

      As long as it sounds good, who cares if he’s faking an accent?

    • Streetdreama  | March 3, 2011 8:42 pm

      That accent is what makes it so much better…..Many people already criticize southern people for their accent. Why not use it as an advantage and a big F U to those who don’t like it. I call it genius, because not everyone talks like that.

      • Beast  | March 4, 2011 12:48 pm

        Yela using an accent is jus representing where he’s from. It’s kinda like paying homage to his roots and never forgetting what makes him who he is. There’s many artist that do accents on the mic but don’t use them everyday. It’s not a fake accent because many ppl once had it and some grow out of it especially if there not around others who talk like that all the time. If you lived around ppl from the south for four or more years straight and thats all you heard there would be some words that you would say in an accent but once your away from it you’ll be back the way you were before.

    • marcus  | March 8, 2011 2:05 pm
