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.

Bawitiba is a cover?

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.

I heard his album on repeat for one day while cruising with this kid that almost killed us driving like an asshole bottoming out the speedometer and blowing through a few country stop signs for good measure.

It's ok, it's nothing great, now that we know he's a piece of shit it falls even flatter though, he's a devil with a cause now, helping to fix elections to put the worst people in the world in permanent control.
