I AM THE BULL GOD, was the first release on the album
and my personal favorite. Hard hitting and not too
"rappy" as I'll stamp the term. This song is the only
one of its type on the CD. The rest of the songs fall
into line with the second release BAWITDABA (which I
also like). The one song on the CD that took me by
surprise was ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY. The first time I
heard it, I thought someone had put a country CD in my
player. Its a slow ballad and shows some singing
talent that may not be apparent from the rest of the
album. I'd expect this song to be the next big hit
you hear from this CD. I can't let the intro to WHERE
U AT ROCK go without mention. There are a series of
voice mail messages that are quite funny, especially
the first one from the girl.
Along with the various sampling items you hear on the
CD (Fat Boys, Too Short), Kid Rock invites several
appearances by rappers like Eminem, Joe C, and several
others. Not unlike other hard rap albums, this isn't
your sit down and sippin' tea music. I'd advise
packing this into the tape player for the gym or while
driving to work on Monday.
What do you get when you mix Vanilla Ice, an 8 ball,
and a fifth of Jack Daniels... enter Kid Rock. The
newest white rap star who may actually have the
ability to hold on for a while. I was a bit surprised
by the CD when I bought it because I expected the
music along the lines of Limp Bizkit and Korn. But
have no illusions, this is rap music…admittedly with
an edge. On top of that, this CD runs for what seems
like days. Of all the CD's I've reviewed, this one is
the longest. You get plenty of bang for your buck on
this one.
