Come November 21st Alabama rapper Yelawolf will have quite a few interesting surprises on his studio album Radioactive including a collaboration with both Gangsta Boo and Eminem.
Directly following his Radioactive listening session in New York City last week the rapper spoke with KarenCivil.com about the collab which he says is “culturally important.”
“So I’m a huge Gangsta Boo fan so I wanted to do a record with her, but I wanted to do something that was stepping outside the box for her and I,” Yelawolf explained. “When Will Power played the beat I knew it was the one. I knew it was the one that made it all make sense. And to top it off I was reaching but I was like, ‘Man, we need to get Marshall on this record.’ That shit would be culturally important, ya know, to have us three on a record. It’s something the world’s never seen before. And it worked out. It took some luring and it took a lot of persuasion and a push to make it happen. Because it was something that I was just so adamant about because I knew that it was important for the people to hear that collabo.”
While speaking to the audience at the listening Yelawolf went on to speak on what exactly Radioactive means for him and why he was so particular when it came to choosing features for the album.
“I think this album speaks volumes about who I am, where I’m from, my story, what I’ve been through to get to this point, and we put the music first. We always put the music first,” said Yelawolf. “The features that we have, we didn’t go get features just for the sake of having somebody on a record. We tried to make classics with this album.”

albums bout to be fire
I haven’t even heard rap before, but I’m going to give him a chance. Hope he can put out a solid album
Check trunk muzic. That boy Yelawolf is the truth.
HES GARBAGE CHECK TRUNK MUZIC THAT’S ALL THE PROOF U NEED
^i bet you listen to gucci mane and wiz khalifa..you’re retarded…
I wasn’t aware Gangsta Boo was still making music, but either way this is going to be awesome.
please no eminem feature he’s sounds so horrible these days
Shut the fuck up you hatin ass crab
“Oh No, dont put the biggest selling artist on your album, nobody wants to hear the guy who sells the most”
GTFOH
Rittz the rapper is better
Thats a really strange idea for a collabo but I’m intrested to see what it sounds like, Been a Em fan and Three 6 Fan since I was in Jr High…….. Always thought Boo had the best lyrics out of any of them Prophet Posse Cats (Even tho I mostly just liked there beats”
culturally important??? I think your full of yourself when it comes to female rappers Gangsta Boo is(was) one of the best better than that Nikki bull shit but he will need more than that and em to save him from a 1st record flop which it is looking like that all you people are on this dudes dick because em sighed him when he sounds like straight trash but no one can ague with sales so will see
Everything flops nowadays, your generations biggest star, Lil Wayne, isnt even gonna go Double Platinum with The Carter IV because people just download everything
I bet Yela Goes Gold tho, just wait and see
@ anon…u r right everyone is flopping now days but u strecthing the truth saying carter4 wont go double plat….its already at 1.5 mil in 2months so it will go double now pink friday wont go double ot that last kanye twisted fantasy cd wayne passed then n both been out almost a yr
why are sales important exactly? that doesnt mean the album wont be fucking dope? the reflection eternal joint in 2010 was the best of its yr but hardly registered on the charts.. if u want to find which is the best poppy trash, yeah look at the charts coz unless u em or jay thats the only way u sell
THATS NOT WHAT I MEAN ALL YOU PEOPLE PUT ALL THIS HYPE IN TO THIS DUDE HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO SELL OR GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY HE IS ON A MAJOR LABEL HES TRYING TO BE MAINSTREAM RELEVANT(HEAR ALL THE CLUB SONGS HES MAKING) AND THAT TAKES 2 THINGS A GOOD ALBUM AND SALES
Gangsta Boo still getting down.. My army comrades put me on to that southern ish.. I was the only one in the dorm with Nas Nastradamus and Rakims The Master.. Niggas was like turn that shit off.. I have to laugh at.. I mis dem Niggas
I think that this album will be very critically acclaimed, but won’t sell that much. Though he does have some buzz after that Shady cypher…
This reminds me of ifan by i bar
Yelawolf has that Big L syndrome… Dope but his voice is a little hard too get use to.
well guess what i love em both
i wish rappers would stop throwing the word “classic” around…let the fans decide when the album drops. nobody has dropped a classic since kanye’s MBDTF. and before that i can’t remember the last time i said an album was a classic.
that album was whack
I agree MBDTF was whack, and certainly not a classic if any.. fuck are you smokin
The dude who said eminem sounds horrible is right. The guy who tried to give him shit for it isn’t making a good point. Good music > what is selling.
DAMN!! THIS IS GOING TO BE INSANE! IM HEARING THIS SHIT IS A CLASSIC..FUCK A DL IM BUYING YELA SHIT!!
this will be the album of the year!!! cant wait for this to drop
10,000 copies 1st week…
hahaha get the fuck outta here faggot
