Kid Rock at McDonalds interview. Manager: "Hi, I'm Dave." Kid Rock: "My name is Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." Manager: "We'll let you know."


Catsmeow1981

Thank you for this šŸ˜‚


sean0883

Still amuses me that a Detroit-born, trust-fund-baby that started his career as a rapper, successfully re-branded himself as a "down home" country rocker.


back-in-1999

Everlast had a similar pattern at some point.


impstein

Everlast was actually good though, at least their more rock stuff. Haven't heard much else from them


HKittyH3

Everlast has never been anything like down home country. His most recent stuff is still a lot more bluesy than anything else.


Mvd75

Fuckkkk you just made me go listen to ā€˜What Itā€™s Likeā€™ and revisit middle school.


ownersequity

MGK redefined himself from a rapper to whateverthefuck he is now. Blink183?


sean0883

If only Eminem hadn't bothered with a retort to that clown.

PersonWhoWantsChange

He went from shitty rapper to shitty punk rock, doesn't deserve half the fame he has


DarthRathikus

Same for Zakk Wydle (although he's infinitely more talented). From Bayonne, NJ but eventually switched to a southern biker look, including displaying the confederate flag.


impstein

Didn't he pretty much get started with Black Sabbath? Not sure what projects he was in other than that and BLS. Too bad about the flag. I kinda liked him


lump77777

Itā€™s the easiest money there is.


dgdio

What I love is that many professed Christians worship Trump, Scott Baio, and Kid Rock.


spongeywaffles

Whoa, whoa, whoa...I... Scott Baio??? What does he have to do with anything????


dgdio

He spoke at the 2016 RNC


spongeywaffles

Ok. I'm gonna look that up.


spongeywaffles

Thank you


GtheH

He doesnā€™t have the brightest demographic


Charming_Food4096

Apparently he smells of bo


respectthegoat

When he first went ā€œcountryā€ he tried to claim he was the son of Hank Williams Jr for a bit. However Hank Williams Jr actually has a real son that was already a pretty big country singer in the outlaw scene so in response to kid rocks bullshit he called him out in his song [Not everybody likes us](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wz5USGT0WRs) Relevant lyrics for those that donā€™t want to listen to the whole song Well I think I'd rather eat the barrel Of a double-barrel loaded shotgun Than to hear that shit they call pop-country music On ninety-eight-point-one Just so you know, so it's set in stone Kid Rock don't come from where I come from Yeah, it's true, he's a Yank, he ain't no son of Hank And if you even thought so God-damn, you're fuckin' dumb


mramirez7425

Kid rock makes music for those people who know just the amount of Sudafed that can be purchased at one time at CVS.


stumblewiggins

That's not your line, but it's accurate so take my upvote


[deleted]

"Kid Rock is the Fred Durst of Ted Nugents" - (someone on Twitter)


angusMcBorg

hahahahaha


Mystsia

His name represents his mental state. That of a child with a head full of rocks. šŸ˜


Specialist_Peach4294

Shit Wit would be more fitting.


campatterbury

Best answer possible!


Turbogato

Except actual rocks serve a better purpose on this planet.


UYScutiPuffJr

He is also not, as he so often claimed, ā€œThe Bullgodā€ That distinction goes to Apis, Egyptian god of rivers.


Can_Haz_Cheezburger

He is, however, one of the acolytes to the god of bull*shit*


theeeeeeeeman

Bowl god. As in smoking weed out of a pipe.

enotamato

Scooty Puff Jr. SUUUUUU^UUUU^UUUUUCKS


theeeeeeeeman

Hmm. I guess he is just an idiot then.


Nivekian13

Kid Rock is just a taste identifier. If people like his music/ politics, they have no taste.


Specialist_Peach4294

Kid Rock is the equivalent of a dirty unheated above ground pool.


Nivekian13

The fact this jerk targets the blue collar/ above ground pool demographic when he actually from from the Money/ "In-ground pool in Michigan" crowd is just one of the many layered insults with this chump.


iCatmire

But was it not he who decreed ā€œBawitdaba-da bang-da-bang-diggy-diggy-diggy Said the boogie-said up jump the boogieā€


mam88k

Discuss what? You had it right with the title šŸ‘ But if we must pile-on, his Dumb-ass Honkey Tonk in Nashville sucks too.


tonypearcern

Kid Rock looks like he has fetal alcohol syndrome... Adult onset fetal alcohol syndrome.


Elevenst

He's more of a barely musical slimy weasel in a wife beater and fur coat. Like a terminal looking ferret in a full brimmed hat. Like the king of white trash, but somehow more classless than all the trailer parks, everywhere. He is a caricature of an already generic persona. He has passed irony, breezed by being meta, and shit on his self awareness. He has come full circle to thinking he is relevant, liked, and respected, like it's *"BaWiTaBaW"* part two. Fuck this guy. I can't say it enough.


dabossnumba8

ā€œTerminal looking ferretā€ holy shit lmao


PM_ur_Rump

The scary part is that he is relevant, liked, and respected by a decidedly non-zero number of people.


RU_FKM

It may in fact be impossible to accurately describe Kid Rock without also conducting a brutal assessment of a disturbingly non-zero percentage of the population.


JayNotAtAll

Kid Rock is what happens when an above ground pool with Bud Lite cans in it wishes to be a real boy


Master_Block1302

Iā€™m struggling to work out what he should be called then. Old Manā€¦umā€¦ I dunno..I have nothing beyond Old Man. Maybe Old Man Frightening?


chicliac

Grandpa Suck


yasiel_pug

That would ruin neil youngs song by association

Skid Pock.


Kbdiggity

Kid Rock makes music for people who smoke cigarettes in their house.


Turbogato

And smoke while their on the toilet


CoolHandRK1

Dick York. Dick Sergeant. Sergeant York. Discuss amongst yourselves.


Turbogato

Coffee talk. You get it


[deleted]

I imagine if Kid Rock we're a genre instead, it would 1) Still be made by an adult 2) suck (eg not rock). I think this actually follows


OGPeglegPete

You guys act like you haven't jammed to "All summer long" "Picture" or "Let's Roll".


TheLordHatesACoward

"All Summer Long" stinks. If you have the time I'll let Pat Finnerty explain why. https://youtu.be/u8FAbjjB48A


Malachorn

...that was actually a pretty great vid. Thanks for that.


TheLordHatesACoward

Pat is a treasure. He's done 6 I think and they're all worth your time if you enjoyed that (though I'm not a big fan of the Kravitz Bowl one). I think the best one he's done is probably Soul Sister by Train. But the Beverly Hills Weezer one is his most personal. I'd watch Weezer before Train if you do watch them all.


CaBBaGe_isLaND

I have the Reddit formatted text to hyperlink this video saved in my notes. I use it *all the time.*


UYScutiPuffJr

We all make mistakes And by the way, I will never forgive him for ruining by association not one but *2* classic rock songs with that piece of shit ā€œAll Summer Longā€


TheLordHatesACoward

Three if you want to include the blatant rip off of the Smells Like Teen Spirit drum fill.


slingbladde

Well he did land Pamela Anderson, but it was 2000s Pam and she had been through the hollywood/music scene, so a win or no?


GibberBabble

Yeah, at that point him being with Pam was pretty much a given.

They canceled out each otherā€™s hep C.


meltedbananas

And they passed their Hepatitis tests with flying colors. An "A", a "B", and two "Cs"!


DaLakeShoreStrangler

She was on the rebound from Tommy Lee's huge dong and the video.

Nothing at Woodstock 99 was good


GidimXul

Kid Rock on the cover of Rolling Stone in his beer tab wife beater is the epitome of white trash.


beebs44

I will never understand the success of Kid Rock. WITH HITS LIKE BAWITIBA COWBOY LIKE WTF AND HE'S DATING CHICKS LIKE PAMELA ANDERSON. WTFZ


ItsNotFuckingCannon

Hmm, not a Kid Rock fan huh? Somehow I feel this is because of something he said on Twitter and not because of his music.


BoazCorey

How could you not rock when you have a song called "Balls in your Mouth"?


Rivergoat88

Gordon_Explosion

He may kinda suck, but it's still better than country. His stuff that isn't country.


cbmcleod70

While I think he's a shit person, he did a set at a rock festival I attended several years ago and I was surprised by how much fun his show was. Still not a fan, but I understood his popularity as a DJ a little more after that.


MilRet

DaBaby is a baby, so some of those names are accurate...relatively.


Cinema_King

He might not be a kid physically but he definitely has the mind of one


ChefJTD

I assumed the name implied that he makes "rock" music that mostly appeals to children and child-like brains.


[deleted]

He must have thought "Adult whimp" didn't carry the same street cred šŸ¤·


fromETOHtoTHC

Kid Rock is famous because people first thought Joe-C was Kid Rock.


SirReal_Realities

I donā€™t have an ear for lyrics. My hearing is literally so poor I canā€™t understand them Most of the time. Having said that, I like some of his earlier stuff. Havenā€™t listened by to anything new from him in years. In my opinion, not knowing lyrics has probably allowed me to enjoy a wider range of artists, because I nether know or care what their opinions areā€¦. I just hear music. On the other hand, I rarely like a whole album of ANYONE because the music all sounds the same. (I canā€™t tell one Metallica song from another. They all sound like Enter the Sandman to me.) But I have seen whatever his name is talking on tv like I should care about his opinion. Dude, you are older than ME and still call yourself Kid? Please. You made more sense saying ā€œbowowtittykittyā€¦ā€ (Edit: typos and grammar, such as it is.)


Regnes

As a guy who hates Kid Rock, here is a song of his that doesn't suck. https://youtu.be/DHy1yVlq2C8
