There's movies about great writers and people who went out and documented great artists, followed bands, and got great interviews.

So, I just want them to look at it as an art and stop being so redundant. If you're interviewing an artist, I would think, at least if it was me, I would do a little research and watch some interviews that they've done before, and be sure to do something creative. In the fifth grade, I had [written] my first rhyme and it was really, you know, just gangster rap. I was just trying to emulate them.

I would have a lot of curse words, and you know, shoot you this, fuck you that. So, I was making copies in the office and the principal was like "Let me see that. He tried to suspend me for profanity and called my mom. My mom came up to the school and was like, "[What] the fuck do you mean suspend him? You can't suspend him for expressing himself.

Look what he's surrounded by. That's what I was looking at. As real as it gets. That's what introduced me to the street culture of hip-hop. There are grandparents alive today whose parents went through a war just out of the slave trade. It's a very real situation. You don't take that shit lightly.

I could've easily done an album in a couple months, the way I do mixtapes, but searching for that sound — that was the next step. It wasn't too far and wasn't too close to what I'd put out before. The night he found the sound, at a Nashville studio, involves an elaborate story: "We'd record, get ideas, party.

So we had recorded all day and partied that night," he begins. Yelawolf and a friend were out "wild in the streets. Then the friend drove drunk and the cops pulled them over.

Both went to jail — it was the rapper's car, after all. Afterward, the rapper cued up the beat he'd just created, declared "holy s, what is this," then instructed the studio engineer to burn the new wordless beats to a CD.

He got in his truck, queued up the disc and wrote the rest of the track: "Outer Space. Fortunately for Yelawolf, for every hostile fan who booed him on earlier tours he has a loyal one who relates to the no-hope Southern experience he's rapping about. Those things reflect in my music," he says. Some of those people give him "gifts" after every show. I'd be dead," he adds. How do you make that work? Yelawolf was born Michael Wayne Atha in Gadsden, Alabama, where his two musical loves grew organically.

His mom dated a sound engineer, and Wolf remembers being onstage at age six with Dwight Yoakam, and Run DMC coming by his house to party after their local show when he was seven. After being homeless in Berkeley and working on a ship off the coast of Washington state, Yelawolf landed back in the South and started making mixtapes.

He was purposefully rowdy, wearing head-to-toe deer hunting camouflage and gold teeth. But their idea was ahead of its time and fizzled.
