AceShowbiz - Contrary to the Beastie Boys, Kid Rock first paved his music career as a rapper in the Detroit hip-hop scene. After releasing several rap albums, he blended elements of hip hop, country and rock in 2001's "Cocky". His successful single "Cowboy" (1999) is considered a pioneering song in the country rap genre.
Starting with his 2007 album "Rock N Roll Jesus", Kid Rock adopted more country style and ditched the hip-hop element. It was his first release to chart at #1 on the Billboard 200 and the album's third single "All Summer Long" became a global hit.
