01. A young Morrissey

02. A (still) young Yelawolf

So, um, this came up. I’m surprised no one has made this comparison yet. Granted, they are different genres and different generations, but doesn’t Yelawolf look kinda like a young, part-Cherokee Morrissey?

The same statuesque proportions. The same impressive nose-to-chin ratio (if both hicks and Brits are known for their wimpy jawlines, these dudes are a striking antithesis). The same bowing curvature of the lips. The same slight underbite. The same dreamy, faraway gaze. If Moz is still too lily-white for my liking, Yelawolf solves all that with an infusion of that marginalized minority blood.

Too bad his flow is so weak. (Morrissey is probably a better rapper than Yelawolf, sorry Em.) But, baby, you a ten.
