Kid Rock is an emcee/ DJ from the small town of Romeo, MI close to Mount Clemens, but he spent many of his formative years as "the white guy" in Detroit... Rock was signed to Jive in the early 90's, releasing an album known as Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast. It featured production from Too Short, D Nice, D Square, Chuck Chillout and others.. The main "hit' of the album was "Wax the Booty," but unfortunately the LP didn't sell. The biggest reason is that Rock is a ruff street m'f, and Jive tried to turn him into a Vanilla Ice clone.. Rock was also a part of one of rap's last great tours with Ice Cube, Yo Yo, Too Short and more.. These are topics he discusses in "I Wanna Go Back."

In 1993, Kid Rock dropped the underground classic, The Polyfuse Method. This was on some drug enduced psycho gangsta shit, and it is out of print.. It was recently re-released as The Polyfuse Method Revisited, containing a few bonus tracks that weren't worth much.... Overall, I was very disappointed with this album, after hearing it was supposed to be Rock's best. The first few tracks have Rock dropping some syllables, but after that he gets corny.. The best track is "Desperate Rado"-- peep it..

Then in early 1996, Kid Rock dropped another dope album-- Early Morning Stoned Pimp. The production is heavy in instrumentation, ranging from Curtis Mayfield like joints ("EMSP"), to straight up metal/ rap stuff ("Where U At Rock"). As far as lyrical content, Rock is contend to "stick with what got him paid," on joints like "Classic Rock," and also get a little deep for you too.. "Black Chick, White Guy" tells Rock's life story in a very soulful manner, and "I Wanna Go Back" discusses his trials with Jive and coming up in the rap game, as well as the world... And for some straight up dope ass hip hop shit, check "Paid," the chorus is so dope!
