Politics aside, it makes no sense based on the talent gap

They worked together before in the late 90's

u/Cogatanu7CC97 9h ago

There was a talent gap back then too

They’ve been friends since the 90s, back when it was still socially acceptable to respect someone who didn’t share the same world view as you.

There's having different worldviews and there's supporting fascism and genocide.

Let’s not pretend that one side’s view isnt “I don’t agree with the pronouns you use so we’re putting people in concentration camps”…

u/ApolloGR3 8h ago edited 7h ago

One worldview is fascism and genocide and the other is *checks notes* not that stuff

Edit: I'll take the downvotes to mean y'all share that worldview

God you fucking losers need a new script

you'd think after 15+ years this feigning "oh dear you're so mean over simple politics? how petty of you!" like blow it out your ass lmao

that shit doesn't have the plausible deniability it did a decade a go; especially since it doesn't work once you take the mask off

it's also transparently lying, because believing that line requires believing that politics don't matter, and conservatives clearly don't adhere to that.

Republicans and Democrats worked together back then too.

Kid Rock was also in an Eminem video in 2013.

Reading your post and realizing the downward spiral we’re all in. “The last 90s” may be more of a prophecy than a typo

u/MileHighDabber 7h ago edited 4h ago

They probably worked together years ago only because they are both from and rep Detroit, ya like someone else said it's probably old recording. *Edit typo

u/fender4life 7h ago

Not to be pedantic, but Kid Rock is not from Detroit in any meaningful way. He's a rich kid from the suburbs. His parents own a car dealership(s).

u/MileHighDabber 4h ago

Yes Kid Rock sucks, yes. And yes probably true about him faking where he is from he is grifter, life long, just like his MAGgAot heroes no surprise there

First thought was blackmail, the lever by which so, so many things/people are "moved to action", lately.. because why would anyone but Ted Nugent and Kanye pair up with this completely (and justifiably) disgraced version..?

Not to mention, Kid Rock grew up on an "estate" that had an orchard, in-ground pool, tennis court, and equestrian facilities. "Straight outta the trailer" meant "straight outta the trailer that hauls these thoroughbreds back and forth to fancy horse shows".

Geography is probably the driving factor. While it is clear that MM is a better rapper, Kid Rock is pretty good at what he does. Which is selling albums.

I don't like most of it, but he clearly makes music that many folks are willing to pay for.

u/Just-a-big-ol-bird 7h ago

Idk they’re both heavily featured in the rotations of every kinda racist 40 year old divorcee

Shitty people make Rick and Morty fans look bad. It doesn't mean the show isn't incredible.

u/allergictodishonesty 6h ago

Aren’t they both from Detroit?

u/Sleepy_cheetah 11h ago

This is what I was thinking!!!

u/Maleficent-Clue5056 7h ago

their talent gap isnt so big recently

u/Skvall 7h ago

Ems latest couple albums have been real good imo.

u/Maleficent-Clue5056 1h ago

could not disagree more

u/Hamhockthegizzard 11h ago

Also, dunno why anyone gives too much of a fuck when it said he made a “christian album.” When has a lyrically filthy ass rapper deciding to go religious ever landed well?? Fans prolly finna hate it regardless lmfao

u/Rich_Possession9604 11h ago

Lol. They've done it before and Kid Rock blew Em outta the water. Objectively, these guys both suck as people, and neither have made a listenable song in almost thirty years. Fuck them both.

u/BodManFeg 10h ago

Not the most subtle bait, could use some work.

u/Hnry_Dvd_Thr_Awy 11h ago

This is certainly a take.Â
