Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
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 'funky 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

Rating: - * funky, country, rock soul singin mc ... this has the attitude and lyrics that are just plain hillarious. if you don't like kid rock don't listen. Rating: - * Who's up for some cartoons? ... Anyone writing a review of Kid Rock should understand his art at a basic level. To compare him to most other artists is to completely miss the point of his music. It's like comparing Evil Dead to Night of the Living Dead, or worse, Gone with the Wind. To start with, you must accept the Kid on his own terms. Try to understand first of all, that he's trying to create a cartoonish world, playing off of the cliches of hypermasculinity, the windblown life on the road, and the joys of drugs and loose women. Further, he creates a persona of jaw-droppingly egotistical and maniacally self-involved proportions. The results are very funny....not because they are bad necessarily....not like "Full House" funny....but rather because they take the cliches and revel shamelessly in them, glory unrepentantly in poor taste, amplifying it until it becomes an artform in and of itself. Cartoonish, and who doesn't like cartoons? Cartoons make us feel good, entertain us, and make us laugh. They are well crafted and, sometimes, even become classics. That, ladies and gentlemen, is Kid Rock in a nutshell. A well-crafted, unselfconscious, uniquely American cartoon. Rating: - * Pathetic Horrible Disgusting Disgraceful trash ... The loser can't write a song and stole a riff from one of the sickest metallica songs. I wrote this in hope it will lower the rating even lower. I could never stress how much i hate that loser. For this CD...he will burn. Rating: - * Classic Kid Rock ... This CD is all of kid's best songs from his 1993 Polyfuze Method and the 1996 release E.M.S.P. Here's my review of all the songs: 1. N/A 2. American Bad Ass- probaly the best song on this CD. This is a mix of hard rock and some hip-hop 11/10 3. Prodigal Son- This song is alright. It contains alot of rock/soft rock. 9/10 4. Paid- This song is really good. It's alot of bounce style rap. 9.5/10 5. Early Mornin Stoned Pimp- A classic Kid Rock song. It's slow funk rap. Probaly the 2nd best song. 10/10 6. Dark & Grey- This song is all hard rock. It's alright, not my favorite though. 8.5/10 7. 3 sheets 2 the wind- A old-school rap song. Kid goes along with the flow real well in this song. 10/10 8. Abortion- This song isn't really what the title sounds like. It's a slow rock type song. 8/10 9. I Wanna Go Back- Alot of people don't like this song. I think it's great. It's all rap. 9/10 10. Ya' Keep On- Similar to "I Wanna Go Back". Once again a classic Kid song. Very nice beat. 10/10 11. F*#k That- Great rap/rock song. 3rd best on the CD. 9.5/10 12. F!!k U Blind- Very explicit lyrics. Nice beat though. 9/10 13. Born 2 Be A Hick- Hilarious rap song but a little banjo type theme 2 it. 8.5/10 14. My Oedipus Complex- This song doesn't relate to the title really. A good song that is slow rap but contains a rock type chorus. 10/10 There you have it. Hopefully you'll find my review helpful and get this Kid Rock CD.
