the question isn't whether they're savvy or humble, it's about whether they're rocket scientists. and you say yourself they're not. so OK then.

Meanwhile, AC/DC are still playing stadiums....and where are 2 Live Crew today?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:25 (twenty-two years ago)

what does this have to do with being dicks and/or stupid?!

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Jess, stop me if I'm wrong, but you don't seem to even like rock. What can you add here?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:26 (twenty-two years ago)

alex can i ask you that the next time you pop into an r&b thread?

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Alex in NYC on various R&B threads to thread!

My head hurts.

Nothing, but it means AC/DC's music has more staying power than 2 Live Crew's.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:27 (twenty-two years ago)

alex you turned on a radio lately?

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:28 (twenty-two years ago)

watch your metaphors, Alex

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Certainly. Well, I do like some pop. It's the exceptionally rare bit of r&b that I like...or at least more contemporary r&b.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:28 (twenty-two years ago)

watch your metaphors, Alex

Knew someone was going to jump all over that.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:29 (twenty-two years ago)

2 live crew are the rosetta stone of all hip-hop from 1996 onward.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:29 (twenty-two years ago)

haha "all hip-hop"

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:29 (twenty-two years ago)

whereas ac/dc influenced steve albini.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you suggesting that you've heard 2 Live Crew on the radio recently?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Knew someone was going to jump all over that.

keep digging! (and Dan Perry to thread!)

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:29 (twenty-two years ago)

correction: all good hip-hop

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:30 (twenty-two years ago)

haha "all good hip-hop"

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:30 (twenty-two years ago)

My comment wasn't a sweeping indictment of hip-hop. It was targeted solely at 2 live Crew (we are straying off topic here.)

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:30 (twenty-two years ago)

"haha"

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:30 (twenty-two years ago)

FIGHT THE REAL ENEMY, MATOS

Anybody here prepared to defend Uncle Kracker?

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm suggesting i've heard alot more music that wouldn't have happened without 2 live crew lately than i've music that wouldn't have happened without ac/dc (though i have heard 2 live crew on the radio lately also)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:31 (twenty-two years ago)

haha "straying"

haha "haha"

haha "the real enemy"

Luke Skyywalker, yesterday.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think 'being a dick' is the issue here at all, because i could see myself sharing a beer with Bob Ritchie, Angus Young, AND Luke Skywalker, no problemo. I think it'd be hard, however, to get through a round without punching Julian Casablancas, Ryan Adams, or Christian Aguilera in the fucking face.

― roger adultery, Monday, 15 December 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you really consider 2 Live Crew that influential? I don't claim to be a hip hop historian by any stretch, but that doesn't sound entirely credible to me. But hey....whatever mows your lawn. Kid Rock, meanwhile, is almost a bizarre hybrid of 2 Live Crew and AC/DC.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:33 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Uncle Kracker needs to make a rekkid with Sugar Ray. It would blow up on VH1.

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:34 (twenty-two years ago)

why does luke records' logo have a mcdonalds fryguy on it?

Alex nailed just what I like about Kid Rock.

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:35 (twenty-two years ago)

My initial point was that Kid Rock seems just unlikeable to me. He seems like a belligerent, jingoistic, too patriotic redneck. I don't know about you, but I find those characteristics a bit repellant. Thus, I'm not fond of him (I don't think I'd say I hate him,....I reserve that verb for other artists). But, as far as I'm concerned, there are plenty of reasons not to like him.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:35 (twenty-two years ago)

haha - jess i think he's trying to get as close to 'skywalker' as he can without arousing lucas

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:36 (twenty-two years ago)

alex ts: lil jon vs. the darkness

Don't really know enough about either, but I certainly prefer Lil Jon's "Get Low" to the Darkness' "Thing Called Love" (the only songs I've heard from either).

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Gents, I have to retire for the evening. I'm sure you have lots of slings and arrows with my Kid Rock-disrespecting name on'em, but they'll have to wait `til tomorrow. Cheers.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:37 (twenty-two years ago)

I bet my left testicle that after Hank Jr. croaks Kid Rock takes over the "Are You Ready For Some Football?!" gig on Monday Night Football.

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

he's not a redneck, he grew up in a mansion. If anything, his faux-populism is what annoys me, but maybe he's just reflecting the times.

― hstencil, Monday, 15 December 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

that was SO EASY!

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:38 (twenty-two years ago)

hank jr. was on the kid rock xmas special tonight.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:39 (twenty-two years ago)

kid rock croaks before hank jr. - that man's a survivor

― cinniblount (James Blount), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:39 (twenty-two years ago)

there was a Kid Rock Christmas special?!?!

― M Matos (M Matos), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

on vh1 one!

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

i dont know where that extra "one" came from.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 15 December 2003 04:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, I hope it was on one of those really fake 'country house' sets with dandruff snow and a roaring fireplace, or it would be shit.

Is the Ira Kaplan credited as the writer on this ancient Kid Rock song THE Ira Kaplan?

the album version ends with a 19-minute noise guitar freakout

some years ago I was listening to New Kingdom when a friend stopped by. He said, "what is this? it sounds like Kid Rock" 😬 i'll never forget that.

surprised there's no "Let's Go Brandon" on this, possibly because Kid Rock didn't understand the reference

― frogbs, Wednesday, 24 November 2021 05:00 (four years ago)

four months pass...

Ok, so this song apparently came out a couple months ago, but does include some "let's go brandons," frogbs!

I feel like he's actually gearing up for a run this time.

I would love to have dinner with Kid Rock

― Whiney G. Weingarten, Tuesday, 29 March 2022 16:41 (four years ago)

Just a few.

Imagine making an entire song screaming at Joe Biden because he initiated testing, tracing and quarantine at borders, thereby successfully saving a minimum of half a million lives and sustaining the economy of the US.
