Yelawolf Defends the Confederate Flag: We're GOOD PEOPLE !!!

"Ain't no way I'm letting some ones ignorance tear me from my roots .. you f***ing f*** boys can save it with this anti Dixie S*** !!," wrote Yelawolf.

Yelawolf has been under scrutiny ever since he showed off his Conderate flag collection early last year. Lord Jamar called it extremely offensive, while Crooked I said although he likes Yelawolf's music, the flag should no way be incorporated into hip-hop. Over a year later, the Alabama rapper has decided to speak out in his own defense, blaming the media for "giving a false impression of who we are in the South." "We're GOOD PEOPLE !!!," he proclaims. "We love our small towns and we love our folks."

He also name drops other rappers for rocking the Dixie flag, calling them his "black inspirations on the Dixie side." "...Like Big Gipp who I saw in a full Dixie Flag outfit at Madison Square Garden in 05 ? , or Andre 3000 rocking a Dixie Flag Belt buckle in ' Sorry ms Jackson ? ' , maybe little Jhon or Pastor Troy who rocked the Dixie Flag in a protest against ignorance ?...I saw the GROWTH and the POWER !! NOT THE DEMISE !!!," Yelawolf continued.
