Foul-mouthed rapper Kid Rock was born Bob Ritchie in Detroit; debuting in 1990 with Grit Sandwiches for Breakfast, he resurfaced three years later with The Polyfuze Method. After 1996's Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp, Kid Rock -- who shot to infamy when a Motor City radio station was hit with outrageous fines for spinning his expletive-crazed track "Yodeling in the Valley" -- signed to Atlantic, issuing his label debut Devil Without a Cause in 1998.
