I like some of Yela previous songs but after one listen I find this album pure garbage ... the production is as poor as it can get and the hooks are :-X...
-
I haven't listened to any of his songs nor mixtapes, so this will be the first impression of him to me.

Same here. I only know the music with Slaughterhouse.

Thanks for contributing to the album discussion then, since you havenīt heard any song from the album nor Yela ::)
-
The only song I was really looking forward to was the one with Eminem & that was average as fuck. Other than that the only real song I can fuck with by him is "No Hands" & that isn't even on the album.
Somebody spin it & let me know if it's even worth it.
-
:o
didnt let me down at all..
made another one for chevy supersport ryders
him n rittz...on growin up in the gutter...shows me they need to gone n do the alabama n georgia connection

-
I'm skimmin' through the songs on Youtube, this is actually pretty ill. ;)
EDIT: DO NOT ASK FOR LINKS

he got a billy joel sample on here...never thought id hear movin out on this...
-
I haven't really fucked with all of Yelawolf's shit prior to this, so I don't know, but the hooks on "Made In The USA", "Animal", "Everything I Love The Most" & a few others sound like Eminem influenced. No hate, I like it. Just figured Yela would be pure Southern bang.
This album is really good. I'm shocked.
-
This is surprisingly good after the first skim through. If anyone wants to stream it on their own here's the link: http://fistintheair.com/2011/11/16/yelawolf-radioactive-full-album-stream-preorder/
Get Away
Growing Up In The Ghetto
Hardest Love Song In The World
Animal
Made In The USA
And Write Your Name (produced by Justice League) sick song!
All good songs.
-

-

got this on the pre order, trunk muzik still gets spins so expecting a lot from this. It's only $9 on Amazon too
-
On first pass, this is HARD. Also, it doesn't sound like everything else out there. It's consistent and not just a collection of random tracks. Get it. 8)
-
Trunk Muzik sounded much better on first listen. The features are the worst part, except Rittz, Kid Rock and Killer Mike.
-
1. Radioactive Introduction - 4.5/5. This beat is so dope. Yela is flowing his ass off. This is basically a picture perfect intro. Beat knocks too.
2. Get Away - 4.25/5. Wow this beat is knocking from the start. Yela slays this too. Shawty Fatt is ok. Good to hear Mystikal lol.
3. Let's Roll - 4/5. This is a good collab. I'd imagine Kid Rock & Yelawolf to make a good record together and they did here.
4. Hard White - 5/5. This is too dope! Ill as fuck. This could be the return of Lil Jon! Yela a genius for working with him. This beat KNOCKS and fits Yela PERFECTLY.
5. Growin' up in the Gutter - 3.75/5. This beat is pretty crazy too. Truck knockin' music for real. The hook is odd but the story is dope. Happy to see Rittz on here.
6. Throw It Up - 3.75/5. This beat is dope! The hook is alright but Yela kills this. He sounds great over the beat. Eminem is pretty good too, but Yela is better on this.
7. Good Girl - 3.5/5. This beat has a west coast knock to it. Poo Bear is an underrated hook singer too. I ain't feelin' the track itself though. The beat/hook make it alright.
8. Made in the U.S.A. - 3.5/5. This sounds back on track. The flow is nice. Woah, I can't mess with the hook though; sounds too poppy.
9. Animal - 3.75/5. Another poppy hook on a dope beat. Fefe Dobson, random as hell lol. And Yelawolf is all good to me on this; just the weird hook messes it up slightly.
10. Hardest Love Song in the World - 2.75/5. Similar to "Good Girl" but the hook/beat aren't as good. Not feeling it.
11. Write Your Name - 3/5. Again, what's with the white girl poppy hook? The JUSTICE LEAGUE beat is smooth. Once again, Yela sounds good but the hook is too ehh.
12. Everything I Love the Most - 3.25/5. The beat is decent, Yela always sounds good to me lol. This hook is ok, better than most. An alright cut. Nothing special.
13. Radio - 3/5. Yela trying to get his singing on but I ain't feelin it; the message itself is true though. But still, this isn't for me although it's not overly wack (the raps save it).
14. Slumerican Shitizen - 4.5/5. Rebel music right here. Beat has a rock bang to it, hook is ok (at least it ain't poppy lol). Yela is perfect for this & Mike
15. The Last Song - 4/5. This is cool, different vibe for Yela but it works. More mellow and very personal. It's a real good closer.
Overall this is a pretty good album, the first four tracks are the blueprint of what an entire Yelawolf album should sound like and had me expecting better things from this. Even tracks like "Animal" and "Made in the U.S.A" are dope as fuck minus the hooks. To be fair, the beats all over this album are ill and Yelawolf does his thing on every single track but some of the hooks just really hold those songs back from being GREAT.
It's still a pretty good release and you can tell Yela put way more time into this and took it more seriously than he took "Trunk Muzik" album. This has one sound, a very cohesive project.
-
Not sure how I feel about it after one listen, I found the first half incredible and the second half kinda weird, didn't like the R&B joints (I rarely do though) and the production has some country/rock vibes towards the end which I didn't dislike just probably need to give them a few more spins. Defo a good album though, best debut I've heard in a while,looking forward to bumpin this all week.
And for those saying they've never heard Yela, get Trunk muzic 0-60, a classic imo.

Pretty much agree with all of this
-
His last album had some good songs.

DO NOT ASK FOR LINKS, how hard can it be?
I haven't listened to any of his songs nor mixtapes, so this will be the first impression of him to me.
Thanks for contributing to the album discussion then, since you havenīt heard any song from the album nor Yela ::)
??? What the? Where did that come from?
Oh, I don't see you contributing to the album discussion..
-

Same here. I only know the music with Slaughterhouse.
Listened to the whole thing today... it's suprisingly nice! Some songs remind me of the old BTNH.

same, the first tracks are great, the album fall off right when gangsta boo stops rapping, eminem starts, then a bunch of songs with corny hooks. the song with killer mike was good. overall im disappointed but will bump the first half a few more times.
-
Excellent album. Gotta give it a few more spins before I can give my final thoughts. But a very, very good debut album!
-
after the 1st half of the album, it's GREAT!
-
Nobody loves the shit after "Throw It Up"? Finally starts making dope rap songs & it isn't "Southern" enough, therefore we're calling it "poppy".
With that being said, this is one of my favorite albums this year. 8)

I'm buying this Tuesday.

He was pretty terrible before Shady took him under his wing. You can definitely hear the influence. & maybe I was just listening to the wrong music by him before hand, but he use to sound awful.
I mean, once I heard some of his pre-Shady stuff, I basically stopped listening to him two-three songs in. But this was really shocking. Like I said earlier in the thread, I was debating even whether to waste my time downloading it. He has some dope flows, great production, hook game is on point by everyone & more important than anything, he's actually pronunciating words that chronologically make sense lol.
-
Man I'm not feeling a lot of these hooks. Yela kills everything lyrically, but some of these are pretty rubbish. Had to lol at the skit with Em though. Gotta give this album more time to digest, first half is crazy though.
Atm I prefer Trunk Muzik, Lunas review was pretty spot on!

You know what it probably is, you guys want to hear him on some harder Southern sound. Like Luna's 4/5 tracks are most true to who he was pre-Shady. My favorite songs are "Made In The U.S.A.", "Radio", "The Last Song", "Write Your Name", "Animal". Although I really like "Growing Up In The Gutter", "Hard White" & "Get Away", I prefer the overall sound of those first songs I named more; smoother beat, cool female vocal hook, deeper lyrics. But I can respect your prespective.
-
By the way, Rick Ross should sue Justice League for basically reselling "Aston Martin Music" to Yelawolf on "Write Your Name" LOL.

I'm buying this Tuesday.

Only if the album's great. Otherwise, listening to a downloaded album and finding out its weak or average >>> shelling out money for a physical copy and then being disappointed.

Yeah I mean if I see an album I considered buying getting trashed and poor reviews, chances are I might not buy it. Or if I really can't believe I'll listen to it at the store. I don't know, theirs just something about buying albums that I love. I've got pretty ecclectic tastes and often times I just pick up a couple cheap random albums just to try to find a diamond in the rough. I know I could just download them but eh it's just not the same. Yesterday I picked up phonte- charity starts at home. Bought to give it a listen now
-
okay, some different shit. Gotta give it a few more spins but i think i like it.
slumerican shitizen love it!

I'm just not digging the white girl hooks. Sounds like Miley Cyrus. Yea, u can say I like that pre-shady shit, the first four joints are dope and I fuck with "Growing up in the Gutter" and "Throw It Up" too.

I like him over the chill beats, the last song is dope as fuck, it's just some of those hooks are pretty cringe worthy. I was listening to it while chilling with wifey last night and I could appreciate them a bit more, I was just expecting something more akin to Trunk Muzik so it'll just take some getting used to. Yela spits on point on everything which is ill 8)

Yup I was thinking the exact same thing. I like this album a lot better than his old stuff as well but maybe i should give trunk music another shot.
This freestyle he did over the Aloe Blacc-I Need A Dollar beat is sick:
Yelawolf - I Need A Dollar Freestyle

^Tight as fuck.
-
It sounded good on first listen, though I think the middle of the album wasnt as good as the start and end
-
I like it, sounds really polished and cohesive, surprising, but surprisingly for the better.
-
not as big album as i thought it would be, but its definitely better then i thought.
and it only gets better the more you listen
-
really enjoyed another listen
-
really enjoyed another listen
Word, was on my third proper listen today and sounding better every time
-
the original tracklisting for this album had me fooled to believe it was going to be the best album of the year. then he decides to change it all up and get rid of tech n9ne, big boi, and other quality rappers and replacing them with kid rock??? wow that was stupid. this album has a couple good songs that keep it from being the biggest disappointment of the year. instead of trying to improve on what made him popular, he decides to go soft. this unfortunately has Shady Records written all over it, almost as if Yela is just rapping over unused songs that couldve been on Recovery
-
Album starts really strong then the second half hits..,.. Lol. Some of these choruses are wretched. Trunk muzik>>>>>>>> this.
It's still decent, just wish the second half was as good as the first.The hook on made inthe USA is awful.
I'll give it a few more spins throughout the week only bumped it once so far.

I get your point but I was surprised how good the Kid Rock song turned out.
-
After a few more listens it's an odd, ultimately disappointing album. It's also very jarring and disjointed.
It feels like two distinctt albums combined into one compilation.
Tracks 1-6 feel like the album yelawolf wanted to make. Certainly the album I wanted and yelawolf fans wanted to hear. Hard hitting beats, yelas distinct raps and a step up in lyrics and content from previous work.
Then that eminem skit comes on. Its funny and feels like an admission before the rest of the rest of the album. " ok guys here's the songs my label made me make." with eminem playing the label head telling yela he needs a love song.
The rest of the album reminds me a ton lupes last album, lasers. Yela still brings it, but it's drowned out by poppy, soft hooks. Most of them cringe worthy.
I give the album a 6/10. Tracks 1-6 are a 10/10 for me.
-
was contemplating on if i was gunna buy it but when i saw it at target for 6.99 i thought why the fuck not...
after my first listen i like Get Away, Throw It Up, Good Girl & Everything I Love the Most.. ill have to give a few more spins and check out the bonus tracks.
-
Finally got to listen to the album. Overall, I like it. It's definitely not perfect, with the weakest songs showing up around the middle of the album. I think the tracks toward the end, start to pick back up though, and the bonus tracks are actually good, imo. With only one full listen through, I'm not sure that I could give the album a rating yet, but my overall first impression is mostly positive.
-
Could have been better but overall im surprised how many of the tracks i like
-
good album but pop the trunk is still better than any of the tracks on here.
