The History of Rock
The History of Rock
The History Of Rock arrives as the sort of superstardom-celebrating release that can buy a hot-selling artist time. (Think, say, G N’R Lies.) After 8 million (and counting) sales of 1998’s Devil Without A Cause, the trailer-rockin’ rapper is out to remind the world that it hardly started there. Mostly drawn, and often retooled, from his out-of-print Polyfuze Method and Early Mornin’ Stoned Pimp, these tracks display a “funk country hick” already on point with his knowing, hardheaded combo of old-school beats and classic-rock guitars. An “American bad ass” for sure, but also an artist who could come only from America, Kid Rock brings the noise–not to mention the bread and the circus. –Rickey Wright
Customer Review: A slight let down after Devil Without a Cause
This album is certainly not one of the Kid’s best efforts. After the sucess of the Devil Without a Cause album, it seems something deserted him here. I like Kid Rock but this album isn’t his best. The only tracks I really liked were American Bad Ass, Early Morning Stoned Pimp and 3 Sheets to the Wind, the rest of the album isn’t very good, and I would recommend leaving this be and getting his first album or his more recent album Cocky instead.
Customer Review: History Lesson
After the huge sucsess of 1998’s diamond certified “Devil without a Cause” Kid Rock has made a huge dent on the rock landscape & much was expected of the 28 year old rock-rapper from the mean streets of motown. This album does not dissapoint as Kid provides more of his southern fried nu-metal in the form of tracks like “American Bad” & “Dark & Grey”. Rock also proves his frankly remarkable skill on the mike as an MC on tracks like “Ya Keep On” & “3 Sheets to the Wind”. This self-prouced 14 track collection is a must for fans of Kid Rock’s hardrock rapping. The album is a true insite into the life of Kid Rock before the massive sucsess of his 1998 album “Devil without a Cause”. Although I reccommend this LP to all Kid Rock fans but some may be dissappointed as the main flavour of the album is Rap. Apart from this small defect I reccommend this tape to all fans of truly great music.
