The History of Rock is a compilation album by American rapper Kid Rock. Released in 2000, the album consists of re-recorded versions of songs from the album The Polyfuze Method, remixed versions of songs from the album Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp, demos and unreleased songs, including the single "American Bad Ass".

Music

[edit]

Many of the compilation's songs were previously released on Kid Rock's second and third studio albums, The Polyfuze Method[1] and Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp.[2] The inclusions from The Polyfuze Method have been re-recorded for this compilation,[2] while the songs from Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp are remixed.

The new recording "American Bad Ass" has been praised by Allmusic and Rolling Stone as being the best song on the compilation.[1][4] The nu metal song is built around samples from Metallica's song "Sad but True", while paying lyrical tribute to Ritchie's influences such as Johnny Cash, Grandmaster Flash, David Allan Coe, the Beastie Boys and Bob Seger.[1][4][5]

Also new to this compilation are the songs ”Abortion”, a hard rock blues song,[2] "Fuck That", categorized by Entertainment Weekly as alternative rock,[2] and ”Born 2 B a Hick”, which has been compared stylistically to Chuck Berry.[2] "Fuck That" previously appeared on the soundtrack to the 1999 film Any Given Sunday.

”Born 2 B a Hick” was an older song that Kid Rock had never recorded.[2] Despite its title, "Abortion" is an anti-drug ballad, which Rolling Stone described as "[finding] common ground between the Geto Boys and Lynyrd Skynyrd".[4]
