YELAWOLF - RADIOACTIVE

YELAWOLF

RADIOACTIVE

2011

1. Radioactive Introduction

Channeling Andre 3000 on a futuristic simple

beat like this works pretty well for Yelawolf.

Nice beginning to the album. 4/5

2. Get Away ft. Shawty Fatt & Mystikal

Nice chill beat with nice verses from all, but

for me Mystikal makes me rate this even higher.

Awesome feature. Great track overall. 4.5/5

3. Lets Roll ft. Kid Rock

Much better than the track title and feature

suggest. Yela could've maybe come stronger

on the verses but i'm not complaining. 4.5/5

4. Hard White ft. Lil Jon

At first glance this seems like such an "off" track,

but man this goes hard and Yela spits some 

dope shit and the beat is just bananas. 5/5

5. Growin Up In the Gutter ft. Ritz

Easy to dismiss, but this is a very unique

track that provides an interesting mood. 

Being able to flow on a dumbed-down-ugly beat

like this and lift it to something amazing

is top in my book and cudos to the creativity. 4.5/5

6. Throw It Up ft. Gangsta Boo & Eminem

As far as female emcee's go, there's only a handful

that truly deliver. Gangsta Boo is one of em and one

of my favourites. This track for me is crack thanks to

her feature, the beat, a crazy good Yelawolf and

I guess Eminem? I think he could've done better

but still killed it, regardless of the lyrics. 5/5

7. Good Girl ft. Poo Bear

Despite it being a song for the females, this is

my 2nd favourite track. Very nice laidback beat

and Yela brings it with his verses. Chilll. 5/5

8. Made In The U.S.A ft. Priscilla Renea

First up, thank you Yela for not having that bitch

Rihanna doing the hook. Thank god!

Anyway, as poppy as it is, this is a dope song.

Love the melody in the hook and verses and 

Yela's verses are nothin but fire. Love it.

Now let's hope this doesn't become a single

and it gets overplayed and murdered. 5/5

9. Animal ft. Fefe Dobson

Starts of real nice but than Fefe opens her mouth

and sings a god-aweful hook...yikes...i'm skipping

everytime at this point. Which is a shame cuz the 

verses and beat are actually not bad at all. 2/5

10. The Hardest Love Song In The World

Tight guitar-laced beat with great verses and a

nice lil hook. Nothing that stands out though. 4/5

11. Write Your Name ft. Mona Mona

Now this is more like it and more on Yela's

wavelenghts. Mona Mona is nice too. 4.5/5

12. Everything I Love The Most

Another favourite cut...love the guitar and Yela's

hook is pretty fly and hella catchy. 5/5

13. Radio

Ok, it took some time and though it has grown

on me a little thanks to the verses from Yela, 

the hook still kills this song. So soft man. 3/5

14. Slumerican Shitizen ft. Killer Mike

Another ugly beat that actually works and ends up

being dope, especially with Killer Mike's verse. 4.5/5 

15. The Last Song

I love it when an album ends with a dope track as is

the case here. Perfect ending and just 3:42 minutes

away from the repeat button. 4.5/5

I have a feeling this album is going to become only

stronger in time. For now as a whole it does come

off as pretty soft knowing who Yelwolf is and having

listened to Trunk Muzik on repeat back when...

With that said, I am glad he didn't go completely commercial. 

The album still has that Yelawolf

signature all over it. Just wish it was more dirty south

sounding (eg. Daddy's Lambo), but again...

No complaints cuz Yela pulled it all off. Props

Overall Score: 9/10
