Quote(s) Of The Day: @Yelawolf Disses @MachineGunKelly (Again) & Is Frustrated With @ShadyRecords
When asked about comparisons to MGK during a recent Shade 45 interview:
“Who?†“It’s probably the most insulting thing on the planet, to be asked to sign a Machine Gun Kelly autograph. ‘Yo MGK?’ I’m like ‘Yea, motherf***er. Let me sign your Birkenstocks.’â€
Yelawolf also took the opportunity to express his frustration for his label for the lack of support for Radioactive.
“I’m all about figuring sh** out, for myself and my art. My last project, Radioactive, was deliberately given to Interscope … and it was on a f***ing silver platter, given to them to work,†he explained to Rude Jude. “It was radio records after radio records, purposely, was my attempt. These motherf***ers have given me one single in 11 months. I don’t really understand where the importance is lined. That’s just me being real, every artist gets frustrated at some point, I imagine.
“I fully comprised, but I let everybody know, even prior to doing Radioactive, what I was doing. I was being honest with my fans,†Yelawolf continued. “I was like ‘Yea, I’m letting people in. We’re gonna so something more melodic.’ The album’s called ‘Radioactive’ — to be ‘active’ on ‘radio’. Like, it was a purposeful shot for me, because I felt like I had a window to use. Like, I could gain … pull some people in with this sh**. I don’t know what the f*** they’re doing up there. Shady’s great, I love Shady Records. I just think there’s some sh** going on upstairs.â€

Birdman (@BIRDMAN5STAR) & Slim Cover Billboard
It about that time again for the Billboard’s Urban Power List, Ronald “Slim†Williams and brother Bryan “Birdman†Williams are this year’s featured stars. The new issue is on stands now or you can order here.
Defining power and who possesses it is an ever-changing equation. It’s a challenge that Billboard editors revisit each year with the Power Players series, which includes Women in Music, Latin Power Players, this year’s inaugural Power 100 and the upcoming 40 Under 40. To that roster, add this issue’s inaugural Urban Power List, profiling the 25 biggest players in the industry. The unranked tally targets executives whose concentration is urban, not executives who have oversight of urban music but also substantial responsibilities with other genres.
