He hasn’t done rap for a very long time. Rap was his foot in the door and he’s done country/rock ever since. Uncle Kracker is the same way. He started with Rap in Detroit but does real music now.
I’m a fan of Kid Rock. I think I have most of his albums. I wouldn’t trust him to babysit my kids. And I always maintain a healthy suspicion (often times disdain) for celebrities in general.
But I’ll take the honest and well meaning past degenerate over the soul-less victim-hood celebrity freak any day. Kid Rock may not be a past model citizen (history of drugs and drinking), but I am aware of a lot of charity things he engages in these days.
He is very talented.
And for anyone that loves St. Ted (as I do), he was a “rocker” to with a wild past.
