Summary: Kid Rock's most lackluster album
Comment: For those who don't know...Kid Rock was originally a Beastie-style rock/rapper from Detroit not a Southern act. Take a look at the cover of The Polyfuze Method to see what he really looks like. If you're expecting Grit Sandwiches to be anything like his recent music, you will likely be horribly disappointed. And that's not only because his style is different, this album is just mediocre at best - almost no matter how you look at it.
Don't think I'm a Kid Rock hater. The Polyfuze Method is one of my favorite albums and I bought it new 14 years ago. At the time Kid Rock was a nobody outside of Detroit but a local music store in Lincoln, Nebraska had Polyfuze in a listening station. I bought the CD as a gag gift because of the song "Balls In Your Mouth" but later grew to love the long list of great songs on the CD.
That being said, Grit Sandwiches is pretty bad. The beats aren't there and the rap is rather simplistic in both content and delivery. Considering License To Ill was released in '86, this CD doesn't get the job done. I would recommend this CD only to people who are extremely in to 80's style rap or Kid Rock completionists. For sure download it before spending big bucks on this OOP CD.

Summary: Not An Essential Release, But a Decent Old School Hip-Hop Album That the Curious Should Try...
Comment: 'Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast' was released around the time Kid Rock went on what was known as one of rap's last great tours (it featured Kid Rock, Ice Cube, Yo-Yo, D-Nise, and Too $hort). Although Kid Rock's skills aren't exactly amazing here, his explicit, often sex-related rhymes (ala Too $hort) get the job done. They get repetitive after awhile, but the production on here saves it from what would have been a lower rating if not for the good beats (once again, thanks to Too $hort - he was responsible for the best songs on this album and was one of the producers here).
To get the most out of 'Grits Sandwiches For Breakfast' you have to have a little love for both Kid Rock and hip-hop. Many modern day Kid Rock fans were disappointed by this album, but that's because they didn't know what he was about in his early career.
Standout tracks: 'New York's Not My Home', 'Wax the Booty"', '"Trippin' Over a Rock"

Summary: STOP HATING, u Morons...
Comment: Does ANYONE on here know KID ROCK's history ??? He started off as a DJ, became HUGE in the Detroit area, THEN started rapping.
Soooo, he went from, DJ, to Rapping, to Rock/Rap, to Rock, then to Country Blues. He doesnt go back n forth. This album isnt worth a 5, but then again it is 2006, that album dropped in 1990s. You tell me what album still is GOOD from that era ???
This is a great album, it makes you laugh, got some good beats (By TOO $Hort) and had a nice flow. He would be BIGGER then M&M, if he stayed rutted in Boring BASS Beat Hip Hop. But he, UNLIKE all other c"rappers" evolved, and is now recognized in all music genres, and Gets RESPECT by all musicians. And one more thing, to people that say BLACK=RAP, and WHITE= ROCK.... Paul Wall, Beastie Boys, Kid Rock, and Eminem can OUTSELL any top 4 BLACK? rappers in the game. *Great album Kid Rock, and thanks for evolving, and makin even better albums* And to you "Haters" make sure you buy another 50 cent, or G Unit Album NOW... cause UNLIKE Kid Rock, they wont be around in 16 years.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I got nothin but love for kid rock (as a matter of fact, i think he's so fine!) and so much respect for his music, i think all his CDs rock...except this one. There's just way too much rap and barely any southern rock, rock and all of his other genres he mixes in his CDs. Im not a big fan of white rap b/c the white rock and the black rap but i do like his rap in all his other CDs. If you're thinking about buying this album- I HIGHLY recommend you buy "DEVIL WITHOUT A CAUSE", "KID ROCK" , or "COCKY". Those are my favorite Kid Rock albums.
