Why is there a little kid talking about how big his dick is?

That was Joe C who was Kid Rock’s hype man. He was a little person and looked and sound like a little kid but actually an adult. Joe C is now deceased.

Putting hickies on these Bettys. 🤦‍♀️

I just had a thought, what’s the over/under on @TenderLovingKiller® having fond memories of hanging with the footballers and listening to this? Smashing beers on each others foreheads and shit? 😉

Here’s the thing Kid Rock was never my jam and that was long before he became the Ted Nugent of the MAGA generation. In the mid-90s the Aggro Nü-Metal rap rock thing began as kinda interesting but pretty quickly leapt into self-parody. I enjoyed heavy music but the closest I got to Rap-Rock was Korn (I owned Life Is Peachy and Follow The Leader on CD) and based on enjoying them meant Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit were pushed upon me but they were too obnoxious and the TRL-ness of their persona gave them a very inauthentic vibe.

The 90s are such an interesting decade in popular music as the early 90s Alternative music moved into the mainstream (peaking around 1994) and then being quickly pushed back underground by the rise ofTeen Pop, Nü Metal, and Bling Rap. It was really this stuff that pushed towards Dave Matthews Band and other Jam/Frat Rock bands.

90’s top 40 radio was wild. Basically, you could play what you wanted for a whole decade.

Funny thing about Bob Ritchie's life, unlike Eminem most of backstory was BS...

"Kid Rock was born Robert James Ritchie in Romeo, Michigan, on January 17, 1971, the son of Susan and William "Bill" Ritchie (1941–2024),[1] who owned multiple car dealerships.[2][3][4] He was raised in his father's large home on extensive property,[2][5] which included an apple orchard and barnyard for their horses.[6] He attended Romeo High School.[7] His younger sister, Jill Ritchie, is an actress.[8] In the 1980s, Kid Rock became interested in hip hop, began to breakdance, and taught himself how to rap and DJ while performing in talent shows in and around Detroit.[2]"

So thing is, the last song was autobiographical about some long term relationship he was in with a woman who helped him raise his first kid and then they had a kid together and then they had a third kid but it turned out not to be his, so they broke up. The song is framed as the origin story for his misogyny. It wasn’t about being a hard ass pimp from the trailer park.
 
Also, you have Kid Rock to thank for Uncle Kracker’s career as well. Since he got his start as Rock’s DJ.

and before you ask who is Uncle Kracker he was a one hit wonder with this cover song…
 
Michigan with Kid Rock, Eminem, and The Insane Clown Posse was kinda the birthplace for white trailer park rap.

The irony that the only one who cosplayed as trailer trash (Rock) was the one that would become hardcore MAGA while Em and ICP, actual lower class whites, are both vocally anti-Trump.
