    I have been a big follower of Yelawolf for forever and always knew he could better himself but this new album is gold. I can't help but feel though that even that is not enough to make a bigger impact for him. Shady Records are to blame?

    I liked radioactive and it is always on my playlist in the office but Shady Records failed him on the promo for that too in my opinion.

    What can Shady Records do to push Yelawolf as an artist more? What would you do? Seems such a shame that this album will get missed by many who would appreciate it if they knew it existed.

    Also.. I am beginning to appreciate best friend more every time I hear it.

    In an interview with Spinner, Yelawolf explained that his father is Cherokee Indian, and that his stage name is a combination of the Cherokee word "Yela," meaning "sun," and the English word "wolf." This represents the duality between his intellectual "light" side, he said, and his aggressive, survivalist "dark" side.

    Hopefully it will spread by word of mouth and people will pick up on it.

    Either that or the critics will eat it up and cause people to go and check it out.

    It feels like back in the day when Shady Records and G-Unit were dropping some of the best albums. This album has Shady Records written all over it but with a breathe of fresh air with the country side of things.

    I know what classic means and I am just saying that this album will still be played by me in years to come. That makes it a classic by default but personal to me until it becomes an acclaimed classic.

    There are many albums out there seen as classics that I can't stand listening to. Personal opinion is worth more than anothers where your own tastes are concerned. Maybe the title should have been "Yelawolf could have created a classic but the world won't know about it." ?

    Edit: Title has been changed to relax the batty's of those that can't comprehend the thoughts of an individuals mind.

    First few times "Disappear" didn't hit my thoughts that much but today it got right in there. Great song!

    Yeah, forgot to add that in. Radioactive was okay, but it certainly put a dent in his career. With Love Story I feel it's his second chance and this album will help him a lot.
