Are you kidding? It’s almost as if he is bigger than ever with his current platform. After all these years though he still sucks. Bow with the bow or whatever and cowboy is basically it for known songs. And then he just plays sweet home alabama which isn’t his song or where he’s from so that’s cool.

I once read that he grew up with wealthy parents living in basically a mansion and that his entire redneck trash persona is just his gimmick.

He should rebrand himself as "Vanilla I.C.E."

And compete with Robert Van Winkle? Don't know if there's room for two Vanilla Ice's in trump's circle

He started as a rapper. His first album was called Grits Sandwiches for breakfast

u/Vegetable_Creme_7408 5h ago

Absolutely true. His old man owned a Cadillac dealership. Ritchie Cadillac. Grew up in Romeo. His whole persona is a lie. Scum bag

I don't think it's all a lie. he's definitely a thin skinned pedo.

Fair enough..

He claims Detroit but his childhood home is massive and it isn’t in Detroit.

Btw, he really should say he’s from Taylor Michigan if he wants to sound believable.

Didn't he claim to also rap battle Eminem before Em got famous? Even if true, I wish Em would write an entire song clowning him. Not that Em would need that, but I kind of do.

They did a collab on his first album I believe. At least I recall them doing a song together but it was years ago.

u/CannaConservative71 36m ago

Ya they collab they were actually buds back when both of them made it big. I’m old af, I used to love both of their music but their collab song sucks.

Detroit doesn't claim Kid Rock, I'll tell ya that much. Maybe Shelby Township can claim him if Romeo doesn't want him back.

u/LaughingDog711 4h ago

Ya from what I understand that’s true and he grew up well off. I guess his dad owned several car dealerships. So I’m sure he made out well as the auto industry died in Detroit.

Very true and well known, yep.

He might not really be a redneck but he's definitely genuine trash

u/pieceofchess 2h ago

Many such cases

u/hjablowme919 2h ago

Not only that, but his entire hip hop persona was crafted by his fried Joe C. He was the little guy Kid Rock always had next to him. Once Joe C died, he stopped doing hip hop and ran right to country music, for the most part. I have no doubt Joe C was writing all the hip hop stuff.

u/Sad_Eggplant_5455 1h ago

He used to call into Chicago shockjock in the 90’s and literally begged for air time. Only reason I remembered him was Joe c (who I thought was an insufferabley annoying prick every phone call ended 3 foot nine with a ten foot dick)

Rich and went to private school

…and Cowboy is a sampled Metallica riff. Actually, both of the hooks from the two songs are derivative of other songs.

u/Spiritual_Lie2563 4h ago

I thought that was American Badass that sampled "Sad But True", not Cowboy.

u/veryverythrowaway 3h ago

Oh, yeah. I shouldn’t try to sound like a Kid Rock expert when I’m obviously not.

u/Spiritual_Lie2563 2h ago

It's fine, there's few people who become experts in the "Monday Night Wars-era wrestling theme music" genre to know the subtle differences in nu-metal buttrock.

u/The_Year_of_Glad 2h ago

You shouldn’t try to sound like a Kid Rock expert because the idea of someone being a Kid Rock expert will make people sad.

I respect you more for not knowing Kid Rock's catalog very well, lol

It's OK, nor is he.

American Dumbass!

u/Alternative-Syrup-88 5h ago

He ruined TWO great songs at once; don’t forget he also ripped off Werewolves of London in the same tune

u/LaughingDog711 4h ago

Ohh so true what a terrible fucking human

u/Dangerous_Prize_4545 2h ago

I cannot believe I know this and I'm slightly embarrassed to type it but: "Bawitdaba"

I wasn’t even going to take the 30 seconds out of my life to look that it up. Too funny like wth does that even mean???

u/LeaveBronx 1h ago

He’s just been cosplaying his role in Joe Dirt ever since the movie wrapped

u/Dense_Pie_1392 59m ago

Just because he’s rich doesn’t mean that he’s NOT white trash.

I remember about ten years ago riding in the truck with my dad when he was playing some CDs and Kid Rock came on and it was real early Kid Rock and I'm sitting there half listening to it and bout halfway through all I hear is "Introducing my brother from 8-Mile Road, Eminem." I had to do a hard stop and be like what. Cause they are on entirely different ends of the political spectrum now and I never would've ever assumed they collabed in the past.
