Yelawolf - Pop the Trunk
Artist: Yelawolf
Producer: Will Power [for Supa Hot Beats]
Album: Trunk Muzik Mixtape
Label: Slumerican/Shady/Interscope
Whatever you think about the man, you have to admit that Yelawolf is nothing if not original. As anyone who heard his Booth-approved cut I Wish - or memorable guest work on Juelz Santana’s Mixin Up the Medicine - knows, the heavily tattooed Southern rapper’s rhythmically complex flow, heavily stylized delivery and off-center lyrics could only come out of the mouth of one man (or one wolf). Case in point; his new track Pop the Trunk, a darkly pacing cut featuring minimalist but skilled production from Will Power and gripping microphone work from Yela as he alternates between not-so-veiled threats and well-crafted storytelling rhymes. Stylistically not everyone will dig Pop the Trunk, but love him or hate him, you have to respect Yelawolf’s willingness to lead, not follow. If you’re a fan of Yelawolf you’re in luck. His Trunk Muzik Mixtape is set to drop in December and his exclusive DJBooth freestyle will bless our pages this Wednesday. In other words, we’ve got it on lock.

Love the production. I think I hear "My Love" synths in the background of the chorus. Verses were good. I can't tell if the chorus is hot or wack... on second listen, its kinda wack. Just not believable. Yelawolf's definitely talented though

Yelawolf is dangerous. I liked everything he's offering on here (that eery/ominous beat from Will Power is fire)

Flow puts you in a trance, the piano on the beat makes the song for me. Banger.

I really like the eerie piano, which really sets the mood for the entire song. To go along with that eerie feeling is Yela's high-pitched and hyper flow that makes him sound like a psycho. The hook is one that I can see getting in my head and have all kinds of people singin along to it.

More than anything else I like originality in an artist, and Yelawolf delivers that every time. There's no way you don't hear this and pay attention to every word, he just sucks you in. He's lyrically creative and has an almost Bone Thugs vibe to his flow. Diggin it.

Was iffy at 1st but after I heard the chorus (and the way the beat switches up for it) I gave in!

Will Power's production centered around subdued, tension-building piano-line, allows YelaWolf's lyrical barbs to take center stage on verses. Hook was serviceable, I guess. Rotation fa sho!

WOW!!!
Production is outstanding... the piano in the beginning calls for an Eminem performance. We don't get it but we get close enough. This guy flowed awesomely and had something to say. I find it amazing how unpredictable it was, but I swear the chorus brings a reggae vibe in the background. At the same time the rhythm is too strong to let it go there, I really dig the percussion (hi-hats I guess). |

I LOVE Yelawolf's music! And I can't think of any of his songs I don't like. And can't wait to see him in concert next month. And it doesn't hurt that he's sexy as hell.
