I'm not the table you can come and lay your cup down on, now
I'm not the shoulder for a bag. The one that carried a heavy load
I'm not the road that...
He’s fully aware of who exactly he wants to be in hip-hop: a proud, raw, unapologetically Southern MC, something the game’s been missing. He really touches the country audience with the project, a genre hip-hop rarely reaches.
Its solid momentum really fizzles out in the last few songs, making for a disappointing finale of an otherwise solid effort. Nonetheless, Love Story is a big step forward for the Slumerican affiliate.
Your enjoyment of Love Story will directly correlate with the amount that you enjoy Yelawolf’s singing, because boy howdy is there a lot of it here. If you respect Yelawolf’s progression as a musician and wish him luck on his journey to artistic self-actualization, you will be pleased.

This album is probably in my top 5 of all time already. This album is an emotional roller coaster, the production is top notch and it's been on repeat all week. Yelawolf takes song making to the next level with this. Love Story will most likely be a classic for years to come when people think of Yelawolf. If you're a fan of hip-hop, you'll love this album. Of course, Yelawolf puts his own country twist on everything which is nice to listen to for a change, but you can always hear the emotion in his voice. There's never a dull moment on the album. So, with that said, give the album a listen!…Expand
This album is amazing, I swear I've listened to this album 5-6 times already and it grows on me with every listen. I cannot tell you the lastThis album is amazing, I swear I've listened to this album 5-6 times already and it grows on me with every listen. I cannot tell you the last time I heard an album this good. I kept thinking throughout the album "Where is the bad song?" I honestly couldn't find one. The production is top notch too. It is amazing to see how far Yelawolf has come as an artist. His lyricism and ability to mix hip hop and country is something I've never seen before. Yeah sure, if you're expecting Trunk Muzik, don't bother. But this is the Yelawolf from Arena Rap and CreekWater, really old school Yelawolf. This is his roots and he's evolved them to where he is now (while incorporating some elements of Trunk Muzik). I don't agree with the critics at all here, this is my current Album of the Year. I hope more people start listening to Yelawolf and especially this album. You owe it to yourself to give this a listen.…Expand

This is far better than Radioactive. I've never though Hip Hop and Country music would be so good together. Tracks like Till It's Gone,This is far better than Radioactive. I've never though Hip Hop and Country music would be so good together. Tracks like Till It's Gone, Disappear, Johnny Cash, Best Friend, Box Chevy V, American You are so good.

You often hear artists suggest fusion is the future. Love Story delivers a razor edge that incorporates the roots of rap with a southernYou often hear artists suggest fusion is the future. Love Story delivers a razor edge that incorporates the roots of rap with a southern twist. This album truly defines Yelawolf as the artist he intended to be without any restrictions from the typical pesky record label that determines what's best. We hear this in the salute to shady on the final track 'Fiddle Me This'. You can hear he has put his heart and soul into each and every track. The album is consistent and flows like a story which is a massive improvement from Yelawolf's previous album Radioactive. Production is flawless and there is no doubt the necessary time and effort went into making everything sound right. Love Story has all the bells and whistles. Perhaps in the past Yelawolf felt he hadn't received the recognitions he had deserved. That may have been rightfully so, however, with this most recent release we can see the evolution of the artist come full fold. It may be time to give credit where credit is due. Yelawolf has emerged as a hallmark artist in his genre. Love Story is an album that gets better each time you listen through it.…Expand
This is his 2nd album after Radioactive, on which after killing freestyles and guest appearances, was a fair debut. Although not equal toThis is his 2nd album after Radioactive, on which after killing freestyles and guest appearances, was a fair debut. Although not equal to talent of his label mates (i.e Slaughterhouse, Em), he has more talent than what he displayed on this latest album. Yelawolf made a son that appeared on Sons Of Anarchy (til' its gone) which was acoustic and well received. Well this whole album is like that! What a disappointment. Not to say he can't pull it off, but if I wanted actoustic blatherings I wouldn't be into Hip hop. One track was nice, which was the first. But after I didn't like a single funking song! Don't turn into Everlast or some ****…Expand
