    My favorite Kid Cock moment was when the video of him shooting a case of Bud Light with an AR was immediately followed by a video of him drinking a Bud Light at his club a week later. Fucking rage bait sissy cowboy wannabe.

    Does anyone know what the viewership numbers for the All Racist Halftime Show were compared to the official one? (Amazing performance by Bad Bunny, BTW. The choreography and props were so good it looked like a music video.)

      Possibly playing the victim? Those dastardly bands with morals don’t want to play for real Americans. When likely they just don’t want to be associated kid rock and racism. Artists will generally play for anyone if they get paid!

      In 1998, he released a Rap-Rock album with metal and southern rock influences called Devil Without a Cause that was widely considered an exemplar of rap-rock and played heavily into his then Redneck Pimp stage persona. It was critically acclaimed with most professional reviewers giving 4/5 stars or 80/100 and better scores while selling ultimately over 11 million copies. And it had some legit bangers (even if they’re hard to listen to now with what a shit bag he’s either become or revealed himself to be).

      Later he transitioned away from rap-rock toward country, Southern rock, and blues while adopting shitty conservative politics to go with his new stage persona. This is what most people know him for now.

            No I think he means Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon.

            And calling it a cover is generous. He stole the music but replaced the lyrics with some boomer content.

              Yes thank you.Heard it long time ago I thought it was just Sweet Home Alabama with some lame ass lyrics, but he knocked off music from Warren Zevon. Either way wasn’t written by Kid Rock.

      He was a huge one-hit wonder (?) as far as I knew who later made a sex tape with Pam Anderson. I would think a few Gen X and Gen Y might remember that. Oh, and he had appearances in shows like Simpsons and cameos in movies. The only movie I sort of remember him in is Joe Dirt.

      I doubt many boomers or Gen Z/alpha know him for anything other than getting butthurt about Bud Light.

        Did Pamela Anderson just make sex tapes with every Rockstar wannabe in those times? Because I definitely remember the one with Tommy Lee.

          I don’t think there was a Kid Rock/Pamela Anderson sex tape.

          And the Tommy Lee sex tape was stolen and leaked without either Pamela or Tommy’s permission. When Pamela tried to sue the distributor the judge basically said “Well you posed topless for Playboy before, so this sex tape is hardly going to further damage your career”. Massively misogynistic and it really messed her life up.

            Oh, right. That was Tommy Lee, I guess. For some reason I thought they both had sex tapes with her.

          I was flabbergasted as to why Sheryl Crow would want to perform with Kid Rock, then I realized I have no clue about her music, despite having lived through the nineties. I just vaguely know her name and that she’s supposedly a bit of an actress too.

      I heard his album on repeat for one day while cruising with this kid that almost killed us driving like an asshole bottoming out the speedometer and blowing through a few country stop signs for good measure.

      It’s ok, it’s nothing great, now that we know he’s a piece of shit it falls even flatter though, he’s a devil with a cause now, helping to fix elections to put the worst people in the world in permanent control.

            Is there any comprehensive list like this for all boycotts? All art, brands, etc.

            Was reading the 3 Doors Down singer who just died was also a Trumper.

            Mac was never maga, he came out with the Donald Trump single when he was just the “business” guy on TV; his Obama birther bs coincidentally started nearly concurrently with release of the song. Mac was outspoken calling Trump a douche

              Donald Trump has been a horrible piece of shit for over thirty years and his daddy funded the KKK, but regardless Mac took it back.

                Mac probably wasn’t aware of all this at the time he made it when he was a teenager. Most people back then just saw Trump as the tv show businessman ‘your fired’ rich guy. Lots of rappers before Mac made songs that also named dropped Trump as well.

                Sure, but I don’t expect a 19 year old to realize all that. He was never maga and never supported the guy.

            I thought Snoop Dogg just played for him because of the pardon. But he was never actually maga.

              I think on a moral level that Trump is not fundamentally different from Hitler, and I also think Diddy had the same reasons for supporting Trump, so I’m going to go ahead and keep him on the list.
