In 1990, Kid Rock released his debut album Grits Sandwiches for Breakfast on Jive Records. The first single, "Yo Da Lin In The Valley", was banned by the FCC because of its raunchy subject matter, and the State University of New York at Cortland was fined $23,700 for airing it. In 1991, controversy hit the hip hop community when it was discovered that another white rapper, Vanilla Ice, had exaggerated his upbringing in an attempt to bolster his street credibility. The deception was widely condemned, and a backlash began.[1]In an attempt to distance themselves from the controversy, Jive dropped Kid Rock from their label.

In 1992, Kid Rock was picked up by an independent record label, Continuum Records, which released his second album The Polyfuze Method the following year. While the album saw some local college radio success at Central Michigan University with the track "Back From The Dead", the lead single, "U Don't Know Me", failed to chart and the music video received little airplay on any major music video channels. After releasing an EP called Fire It Up!, in 1994, Continuum went bankrupt and Rock was left again without a record deal.
