Joke's on so if them, IDGAF about sportsball or its intermission.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Does anyone know what the viewership numbers for the All Racist Halftime Show were compared to the official one? (Amazing performance by Bad Bunny, BTW. The choreography and props were so good it looked like a music video.)

[-] pno2nr@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

His father should have pulled out.

[-] Formfiller@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago

The SC meth and confederate flag memorabilia economy is going to take a hit.

[-] ugandan_airways@lemmy.zip 8 points 15 hours ago

Anyone know what the ticket sales are like on this event? I wonder if the are trying to make up a story to distract from abysmal ticket sales

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 3 points 15 hours ago

Possibly playing the victim? Those dastardly bands with morals don't want to play for real Americans. When likely they just don't want to be associated kid rock and racism. Artists will generally play for anyone if they get paid!

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 19 points 19 hours ago

Maybe he can unload lead into some Bud Light to blow off some steam.

[-] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Well that is what Bud Lite was made for. Its certainly not fit for human consumption.

[-] Aljernon@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago

It's one of the few beers I consider utterly not drinkable

[-] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

It's the beer I drank before I learned to like beer

[-] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

If only someone had “pulled out” all those years ago …

[-] Liuone@lemmy.world 12 points 23 hours ago

The only song of his that i ever heard, is a bad cover song. Why is he even famous?

[-] Aljernon@lemmy.today 13 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

In 1998, he released a Rap-Rock album with metal and southern rock influences called Devil Without a Cause that was widely considered an exemplar of rap-rock and played heavily into his then Redneck Pimp stage persona. It was critically acclaimed with most professional reviewers giving 4/5 stars or 80/100 and better scores while selling ultimately over 11 million copies. And it had some legit bangers (even if they're hard to listen to now with what a shit bag he's either become or revealed himself to be).

Later he transitioned away from rap-rock toward country, Southern rock, and blues while adopting shitty conservative politics to go with his new stage persona. This is what most people know him for now.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

He was a huge one-hit wonder (?) as far as I knew who later made a sex tape with Pam Anderson. I would think a few Gen X and Gen Y might remember that. Oh, and he had appearances in shows like Simpsons and cameos in movies. The only movie I sort of remember him in is Joe Dirt.

I doubt many boomers or Gen Z/alpha know him for anything other than getting butthurt about Bud Light.

[-] Liuone@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

Did Pamela Anderson just make sex tapes with every Rockstar wannabe in those times? Because I definitely remember the one with Tommy Lee.

[-] gid@piefed.blahaj.zone 14 points 16 hours ago

I don't think there was a Kid Rock/Pamela Anderson sex tape.

And the Tommy Lee sex tape was stolen and leaked without either Pamela or Tommy's permission. When Pamela tried to sue the distributor the judge basically said "Well you posed topless for Playboy before, so this sex tape is hardly going to further damage your career". Massively misogynistic and it really messed her life up.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Oh, right. That was Tommy Lee, I guess. For some reason I thought they both had sex tapes with her.

My favorite Kid Cock moment was when the video of him shooting a case of Bud Light with an AR was immediately followed by a video of him drinking a Bud Light at his club a week later. Fucking rage bait sissy cowboy wannabe.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 19 points 19 hours ago

I always think of his Kid N' Play hair when I think of Kid Rock....

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

He's always been full of shit and a cokehead

[-] wolfeh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 16 hours ago

My favorite Kid Cock moment

Let's not get all of the Kid Rock fans excited.

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 33 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It was an mp5. Just fyi.

Edit for clarity: guy is still a complete tool despite having good taste in guns.

[-] Slashme@lemmy.world 131 points 1 day ago

Who cares what video format it was on?

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 31 points 1 day ago

How have I never made that connection before‽

[-] regedit@lemmy.zip 16 points 1 day ago

Because it's the successor to the mp4!

[-] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 16 points 1 day ago

I legit lost track after mp3.

[-] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

I'm so old I remember MPEG-2.

(MP3 is actually used for audio in the MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 standards.)

(As for current codecs, basically Opus is all you need. It's especially fit for voice, like in podcasts and audiobooks, which it can encode pretty well with a very low bitrate.)

If only Kid Rock’s dad would’ve pulled out.

Kid Rock is the human form of that amalgamation of nasty grease and juices that collect at the bottom of a neglected trash can

[-] nomy@lemmy.zip 39 points 1 day ago

Kid Rock is what happens when your dad owns a bunch of car dealerships and you're raised on an estate with an orchard but want to cosplay being a poor white kid.

I'm not even joking.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

It's like the Duck Dynasty grift.

[-] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

In that privileged and sheltered context gotta imagine the sewage of rhetoric that indoctrinated him as a child was constant. Racism is inherited.
