█░▓▓▓▓░▓█ █░▓█ │ │
█▓▓░▓▓▓▓█ █▓▓█ │ One of the unlikeliest success stories in │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ rock at the turn of the millennium, Detroit │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ rap-rocker Kid Rock shot to superstardom with │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ his fourth full-length album, 1998's Devil │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Without a Cause. What made it so shocking was │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ that Rock had recorded his first demo a full │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ decade before, been booted off major label │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Jive following his Beastie Boys-ish 1990 │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ debut Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast, and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ toiled for most of the decade in obscurity, │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ releasing albums to a small, devoted, mostly │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ local fan base while earning his fair share │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ of ridicule around his home state. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Nevertheless, Rock persevered, and by the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ time rap-metal had begun to attract a │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ substantial audience, he had perfected the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ outlandish, over-the-top white-trash persona │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ that gave Devil Without a Cause such a │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ distinctive personality and made it such an │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ infectious party record. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Bob "Kid Rock" Ritchie (b. Robert James │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Ritchie, Jan. 17, 1971) grew up in Romeo, │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Michigan, a small rural town north of the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Detroit metro area. Finding small-town life │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ stiflingly dull, Ritchie immersed himself in │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ rap music, learned to breakdance, and began │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ making the talent-show rounds in Detroit. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Inspired by the Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ white performers fusing rap and hard guitar │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ rock Kid Rock recorded his first demos in │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ 1988, and eventually scored an opening slot │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ at a Boogie Down Productions gig. That │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ performance, in turn, led to a contract with │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Jive Records, which issued Kid Rock's debut │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ album, Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast, in │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ 1990. Produced by Kid Rock, Too Short, and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ D-Nice, the album was heavily derivative of │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Licensed to Ill. Rock briefly became │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ notorious when a New York college radio │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ station aired the album's profanity-laced ode │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ to oral sex, "Yodelin' in the Valley," and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ was fined over $20,000 (a judgment later │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ rescinded). However, despite a tour with TOO │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ $HORT Too $hort and Ice Cube, Jive didn't see │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ much of a future for Kid Rock and dropped him │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ from their roster. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Moving to Brooklyn, Rock hooked up with the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ small Continuum label, and moved his brand of │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ rap further into hard rock with The Polyfuze │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Method, released in 1993. Reviews were mixed, │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ with some critics praising the record's humor │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ and eclecticism while others dismissed it as │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ awkward and forced. The EP Fire It Up │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ followed in 1994, appearing on Rock's own Top │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Dog imprint (which was still distributed by │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Continuum). Rock eventually returned to the │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Detroit area and began work on another album; │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ recorded on a shoestring budget, Early │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Mornin' Stoned Pimp was released in 1996. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Although sometimes forced to sell bootleg │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ dubs of his own records to pay the rent, Rock │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ set about forming a full-fledged backing │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ band, which he dubbed Twisted Brown Trucker. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ While its membership fluctuated early on, │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ rapper Joe C. (b. Joseph Calleja) was one of │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ the first to join; a longtime fan and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ frequent concert attendee, Calleja caught │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Rock's eye in 1994, partly because of his │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ diminutive stature (due to a digestive │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ condition known as celiac disease, which │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ required both dialysis and extensive │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ medication) and partly because of his │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ encyclopedic knowledge of Rock's song lyrics. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ The rest of the lineup settled around mostly │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Detroit-area musicians: guitarists Kenny │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Olson and Jason Krause, keyboardist Jimmy │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Bones (b. Jimmy Trombly, he handles the bass │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ lines himself), drummer Stefanie Eulinberg, │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ DJ/turntablist Uncle Kracker (b. Matt Shafer, │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ who had been with Rock since the early '90s), │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ and backing vocalists Misty Love and Shirly │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Hayden. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ As rap-metal acts like Korn, Limp Bizkit, and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Rage Against the Machine began to dominate │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ the hard rock landscape, Atlantic Records │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ decided to take a chance on signing Rock. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Devil Without a Cause didn't do much upon its │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ initial release in August 1998, but a big │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ promotional push from the label and MTV │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ helped make the album's second single and │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ video, "Bawitdaba," a nationwide smash. The │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ follow-up, "Cowboy," achieved similar │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ success, and suddenly, after a decade of │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ trying, Kid Rock was a superstar with a Top │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Five, seven-times-platinum album and a gig at │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Woodstock '99. While pondering how to follow │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ up Devil, Rock acquired the rights to his │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ indie-label recordings and remixed or │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ re-recorded the best material for The History │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ of Rock, which was released in the summer of │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ 2000 and featured some new songs as well. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Sadly, after being forced to take a break │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ from touring a year earlier by his medical │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ difficulties, Joe C. passed away in his sleep │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ on November 16, 2000. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Even with a tragedy like this in his life, │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Rock continued work on his followup to Devil │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Without A Cause. The media focused more on │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ his relationship with actress Pamela Anderson │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ than his musical career, which many magazines │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ were beginning to ridicule. His DJ, Uncle │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ Kracker, had a successful solo career during │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ the spring and summer of 2001, leaving Rock │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ without one of his most frequent │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ collaborators. Still, by the winter of that │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ year he had completed work on Cocky and had │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ released "Forever" to success on rock radio. │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ In fall 2003, Kid Rock returned with a │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ self-titled effort. A cover of Bad Company's │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ "Feel Like Makin' Love" marked the first │
█▓▓▓▓▓░░█ ██ │ single. │
