28	!Tropes:
29	* 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]]."
30	** Furthermore, Kid is an ordained minister.
31	* BluesRock: On "You Never Met a Motherfucker Like Me", "Baby Come Home", and a few others.
32	* {{Bowdlerise}}:
33	** "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.
34	** On "WCSR," the word "fag" is reversed and an unknown phrase by Snoop Dogg is bleeped out. There is an "unedited" upload on Website/YouTube, but it does not include the mystery phrase.
35	* CallBack: Some of the lyrics in "Trucker Anthem" (such as "call up your friends, I'll get your whole fuckin' crew high") and the "Kid Rock, I got the sex rhymes" part in "WCSR" comes from an earlier song called "Mom & Dad, I Use Drugs". Also on "Trucker Anthem", Music/UncleKracker introduces Kid Rock as "The Music/EarlyMorninStonedPimp of the goddamn nation"
36	** ''[[Music/DevilWithoutACause King Cowboy, baby, you know my credits]]''
37	* 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.
38	* GenreMashup: On "Forever", Kid Rock raps:
39	--> Do not hate or question the music I make
40	--> I make PunkRock, and I mix it wit the HipHop
41	--> I get cha higher than a tree top, you wanna roll with the Kid Rock?
42	--> I make SouthernRock, and I mix it wit the HipHop
43	--> I got money like Fort Knox, I'll forever be the Kid Rock
44	* GuestStar: Music/SherylCrow on "Picture" and Music/SnoopDogg on "WCSR".
45	* ShoutOut: ''[[Music/EltonJohn B-b-b-b... Benny and the Jets is hot]]''
46	** ''With Music/{{ACDC}} on, [[Music/BackInBlack from "Hell's Bells", to the next 9 songs]]''
47	** ''I drank with [[Music/HankWilliamsJr Hank]], talked blues with [[Music/ZZTop Billy]]\
48	Rocked with [[Music/RunDMC Run]], sang with [[Music/WillieNelson Shotgun Willie]]''
49	* SongStyleShift: "Lonely Road of Faith" is a Country Rock ballad. But then during the bridge, it briefly morphs into a RapRock / CountryRap song, before going back to Country Rock.
50	* TakeThat: ''You're El Music/DeBarge''
