Background
"Bawitdaba" has been described as having a rap rock,[1] rap metal,[2] nu metal[3][4] and hard rock sound.[5] Its chorus has been described as a "neo-gregorian drone"; this chorus was derived from hip hop chants, such as the refrain from the Sugar Hill Gang's "Rapper's Delight".[6][7] The lyrics of the song are dedicated to "the shots of Jack", "chicks with beepers", as well as "all the crackheads, the critics, the cynics / And all my heroes in the methadone clinic."[8]
On the demo recording of the song, Kid Rock shouts, "Now get in the pit and try to kill someone!"[8] For the album version, he replaced "kill" with "love." Kid Rock told The Baltimore Sun that he was glad he had changed the lyric, explaining that mosh pits are about coexistence.[8]
Reception
Critics and fans consider "Bawitdaba" to be one of Kid Rock's best songs.[6][9][10] In 2009, it was named the 47th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.[5] The song was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Awards in the Best New Artist and Best Hard Rock Performance categories.[11]
