Kid Rock deriv

Kid Rock (real name Robert James Ritchie, born January 17, 1971 in Romeo, Michigan) is a performer who combines many genres of music together ranging from hard rock to rap (rapcore) and even country.

Kid Rock derives his name from his early years of rapping in parking lots and bars, when, so Kid Rock says, people in the audience would remark, "Look at that white kid rock." He dropped "white," and his stage name was born. He began his hip-hop career at the age of 15. He became well-known in a Mount Clemens, Michigan housing project because of his unique style of rapping. He later moved to New York City, where he was said to have lived just below Queen Latifah. He got to know a lot of the area's rappers and landed a tour deal with Ice Cube and Too $hort when he was only 18 years old.
