Kid Rock
Growing up in the suburbs of Detroit Rock City, Kid Rock learned an appreciation of both rock and rap. He took this at-the-time odd pairing into the studio for his 1990 debut, Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast, sampling (without clearance, no less) both Ozzy and the Rolling Stones. Even at this early juncture, Rock found a bit of notoriety with that album’s “Yodelin’ in the Valley,” an ode to cunnilingus that nearly got an upstate New York college-radio station fined. Rock’s next album, 1992’s The Polyfuze Method, saw his reinvention as a BMX-ridin’ white-boy hooligan. From that point on, Rock cultivated this image as well as his rap-rock aspirations. 1996’s Early Mornin’ Stoned Pimp followed a similar course, but it wasn’t until 1998’s Devil Without a Cause, Rock’s major-label debut, that he landed commercial success with such singles as “Bawitdaba” and “I Am the Bullgod.” In the summer of 2000, he released an odds ‘n’ ends collection, History of the Rock, which also features a handful of new cuts. |
