While ''Devil'' is predominantly considered a RapRock album, ''Cocky'' more prominently features SouthernRock styles, although the Southern sound is often combined with rap, such as on "Forever".

As explained over at Rap Rock, that term was often misused interchangeablely with Rap Metal, creating some miscategorizations. RYM associates Kid Rock more with Rap Rock than Rap Metal.

* RapMetal: Though it starts off leading listeners to believe it is a BluesRock song, "I'm Wrong, But You Ain't Right" turns into this. The opening track "Trucker Anthem" also qualifies.

!Tropes:
* AsTheGoodBookSays: In "Lonely Road of Faith", during the bridge, Kid Rock says a verse that is similar to Psalm 23:4: "Though I walk in the valley of darkness / I am not afraid / 'Cause I know [[YouAreNotAlone I'm not alone]]."
** Furthermore, Kid is an ordained minister.
* {{Blues}}: On "You Never Met a Motherfucker Like Me", "Baby Come Home", and a few others.
* {{Bowdlerise}}:
** "Picture" had different edits to censor the line "Fueling up on cocaine and whiskey". One version changed "cocaine" to "water", and another just muted the word entirely.
* FakeShemp: Due to label issues, the official single version of "Picture" has Allison Moorer singing Music/SherylCrow's part. However, most stations played the Sheryl Crow version anyway, and it was even listed as "Kid Rock with Sheryl Crow or Allison Moorer" on the charts.
* GuestStar: Music/SherylCrow on "Picture" and Music/SnoopDogg on "W.C.S.R."
