In 1998, he released a Rap-Rock album with metal and southern rock influences called Devil Without a Cause that was widely considered an exemplar of rap-rock and played heavily into his then Redneck Pimp stage persona. It was critically acclaimed with most professional reviewers giving 4/5 stars or 80/100 and better scores while selling ultimately over 11 million copies. And it had some legit bangers (even if they’re hard to listen to now with what a shit bag he’s either become or revealed himself to be).
Later he transitioned away from rap-rock toward country, Southern rock, and blues while adopting shitty conservative politics to go with his new stage persona. This is what most people know him for now.
Yes thank you.Heard it long time ago I thought it was just Sweet Home Alabama with some lame ass lyrics, but he knocked off music from Warren Zevon. Either way wasn’t written by Kid Rock.
He was a huge one-hit wonder (?) as far as I knew who later made a sex tape with Pam Anderson. I would think a few Gen X and Gen Y might remember that. Oh, and he had appearances in shows like Simpsons and cameos in movies. The only movie I sort of remember him in is Joe Dirt.
I doubt many boomers or Gen Z/alpha know him for anything other than getting butthurt about Bud Light.
I don’t think there was a Kid Rock/Pamela Anderson sex tape.
And the Tommy Lee sex tape was stolen and leaked without either Pamela or Tommy’s permission. When Pamela tried to sue the distributor the judge basically said “Well you posed topless for Playboy before, so this sex tape is hardly going to further damage your career”. Massively misogynistic and it really messed her life up.
I was flabbergasted as to why Sheryl Crow would want to perform with Kid Rock, then I realized I have no clue about her music, despite having lived through the nineties. I just vaguely know her name and that she’s supposedly a bit of an actress too.
I heard his album on repeat for one day while cruising with this kid that almost killed us driving like an asshole bottoming out the speedometer and blowing through a few country stop signs for good measure.
It’s ok, it’s nothing great, now that we know he’s a piece of shit it falls even flatter though, he’s a devil with a cause now, helping to fix elections to put the worst people in the world in permanent control.
The only song of his that i ever heard, is a bad cover song. Why is he even famous?

Bawitiba is a cover?
No, the Sweet Home Alabama one. I don’t know the one you are talking about.
Ahh, the one I mentioned is the only one I remember hearing on the radio. Had no clue he covered Sweet Home Alabama.
No I think he means Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon.
And calling it a cover is generous. He stole the music but replaced the lyrics with some boomer content.

Not a cover but a riff of Rapper’s Delight.

Did Pamela Anderson just make sex tapes with every Rockstar wannabe in those times? Because I definitely remember the one with Tommy Lee.

Oh, right. That was Tommy Lee, I guess. For some reason I thought they both had sex tapes with her.
He did the duet with sheryl crow too.
