A message for Shady and Yela

[white_dog]

Yo,

When I imagined Shady teamed up with Yelawolf I expected to hear some vile, downright dirty, hardcore hip hop with hints of old Shady like "Bad Meets Evil" or "Kill You" or "Just Lose It", shit anything but Eminems tired ass new shit. I figured the zero to 60 mixtape, and Yelawolfs explosive lyrics would have inspired Marshall to reach back to the roots and lace these tracks with hip hop gold. I didn't anticipate a repetition of "Love the way you lie" being strewn across Catfish Billy's debut LP. Yo Slim what's wrong with you? You need a fuckin' doctor if you think that your devoted fans want to hear your albums all popped out and laced with female hooks. Yela's hooks are dope as fuck and you try to chase the radio with these female vocals? Fuckin' sell out. Billy, get out from under the terrible production management of Shady, he's lost his flavor in his old age. "Go Billllllaaaaay". WE, your devoted fans, want to hear that hardcore shit from the Slumericans, not some tired ass bitch singing your hooks. If White Jesus drops an album with this much pussy on it I'd assume you all go fuck yourselves dry. Slim, do us a favor; find someone to pull the trigger on, because this soft ass shit you've been coming out with is overshaddowing all the dope shit you dropped on Benzino, Whitey, Murder Inc, etc. I'm starting to feel like no one wants to hear their grandfather rap...or produce for that matter.

Eh, very few beats on Radioactive are actual mainstream pop beats. The majority was produced by the guy who produced the bulk of Trunk Muzik. The hooks arent bad and they don't usually scream pop, there is one pop, a couple RnB, and the rest are country (This is just talking about the singing hooks).

[Trimss]

Yelawolf himself said he wants to make "Radio-Active hits" not Eminem smh. And the album is great, you're just one of them fans who thinks females hooks = mainstream right?

[Manly Moose]

Did white_america get banned? This "white_dog" seems just like him.

[white_dog]

My example are these, I ought to bring my argument to the table...."Made int he U.S.A."....16 bars of gold to be followed with some remnants of "Love the way you lie", when honestly....that's not Slumerican, that's some top 40 countdown, play me next to Beiber shit. I feel let down by the influence of the Production Management (not the beat production) of this album because I feel like it was targeted for radio play instead of artistic expression. You telling me you your going to spit fire then want everyone to wave their hands in the air like their at a Josh Grobin concert on the hook? C'mon yo. I'm from the gutter. I ride a fo wheeler, have had my bouts with dope, drive a red neck truck. I can relate to Yela. I can't relate to the inclusion of Brittney Spears-like hooks, like "Animal"....that shit is dope until I feel like I have to turn down my stereo so I'm not slumpin some pop girl, but then I want to turn it back up when it's back to the verse. And as far as Eminem's lyrical contribution to the album on throw it up, again...verses dope...then you put a hoe on the hook which you know will be received with mixed reaction. I personally don't like female rappers, and I'm not alone, so why put your only contribution to an album on a flip flop track? I'll put it in Gangsta Boo's words...this shit is "hokey wag"

white_dog, I'd suggest you to get a better taste. Simple as that. The female hooks in Radioactive are good. Deal with it. Having females singing for your album doesn't make you less of a badass, and if you think otherwise, it's time to man up.

It's my opinion, and your argument of it's just good is lame. Man up? Gimme a break son, I don't like the flavor, has nothing to do with manning up. You read what I wrote? I put in work every day, I grind and hustle and live life. Criticize my manliness again and back it up with some lame shit. Go put on your American Eagle cardigan, get in your Carola, and bump your Britney. I at least have a statement to back it up why it sucks, your argument is that the hard bars followed with a soft ass hook some how jives? Git real son. You have some bitches singing half your hooks on a so so LP, then I get the feeling that youre reaching for a spot on the lunch hour with Ryan Seacrest. Eminems good shit didn't have 1/2 his album aimed at pleasing hoes, in fact he aimed to insult them. Now....eh LAME I can't even argue this anymore. You're boy even said it best, you guys seem to like these songs "Bitches like love songs"

I don't think all female hooks are mainstream, but when every songs sounds like your Production Manager's last, and only radio hit from his last album...then yeah, I think they're going for mainstream recognition. If you got some good dope from the mexicans and had a bunch of people knockin on your door, and your homeboys family makes their own shit but your fiends dont like it. Whos dope you going to buy next. Your people, or the mexicans? That statement probably didn't relate to you though, because you just listen to the radio, and relate to that Justin Beiber shit, not the shit I do.

I'd assume that if it was all Em giving Yelawolf these hooks and steering the direction of the album and he wanted to make it a pop album (not saying Em would want to do this, just an example) then he'd probably get someone like Rihanna to sing these hooks. The only person on those hooks that I had heard of before the album was Fefe Dobson and I don't think she's been that big for a while. Yela wanted the album to sound like that and I'm not getting a generic pop sound from them at all. He did a good job with these tracks.

[white_dog]

Menzo,
I respect that. I really hope we see some harder music future for sure. I just hope that something gets dropped like this.....Burn one producing something for Yela, mixtape style beef with breakfast club and mgk. Only chance for this music to get back to the way I like it. Otherwise it's going to stay soft. And there's a lot to why Em has kept the tone down. People get killed over words. But people get killed for less too, so I say get it.

Yo, and you tellin me you can't change up your style without going soft? Compare Marshall Mathers LP and Eminem Show...both fantastic albums, couldn't say either is soft. Yelawolf's underground to major label is like Eminem going from Slim Shady EP to Recovery. Too drastic, and face it Recovery is soft. Zero to 60 to throwin that 87 box in reverse is what Yelawolf's debut did

Me neither. White dawg.

Get 'em!

Thank you

Put this mothafucka in a box and I'll send him away.

The album is dope. Yela's gonna get paid. He can return to his roots once he's living in a mansion with about 10 cars.

There's enough songs on the album that are true to his old music but he's stuck in a tough situation. Trunk Music part II would please some of the core fans but wouldn't give him any exposure. He's got to find the balance between a successful selling album and sticking to his own style. I think he managed it.

Just realised I said exactly what Menzo said.

[white_dog]

OMEGA, you limited to half constructed sentences? You got something to say? You want to be my internet homeboy? You want to get off your boy's tip?

I can respect that he's going to get paid. I am let down as a slum dwellin homeboy from the street. Struggle cant even bump yhis shit and feel comfortable....

I personally thought the hook on Made in the USA was perfect. The overall sarcastic yet serious concept of the song was superbly supplemented with the lamentable voice of the said singer, she provided certain lyrics which were serious yet her voice provided a kind of certain calmness. It was nothing to do with pop, the whole song requires such a hook if i'm to be honest.
