In a foreword written for the album, Kid Rock said he was proud of the guests who joined him, "especially my old friend Eminem," according to Complex and Blabbermouth. He added that the two artists differ politically and on other issues but have remained friends.
We hope that sets an example for people who've lost friends or stopped talking to family because they think differently.

Classical music grew inside European courts and churches over four centuries; jazz, electronic music and hip-hop are all 20th-century inventions tied to specific cities and communities.
