The History of Rock was a rock album released by Kid Rock in 2000, as the unofficial follow up to Devil Without a Cause (in the album's liner notes, Rock says to "look for the follow up to Devil Without a Cause in 2001"). After acquiring the rights to his Indie-label recordings, Rock decided to release a compilation of older material. The album contains the best material from the albums The Polyfuze Method (the liner notes say Rock re-recorded the songs from this album cause he couldn't find the master recordings) and Early Morning Stoned Pimp (the liner notes say the songs from this album were "remixed and touched up" to show how they would've sounded if Rock had the money to do so back in the day), as well as two previously unreleased songs recorded around the same time as EMSP ("Dark & Grey" and "Abortion"). The only new tracks were "American Bad Ass", which was the first single from the album, and "Fuck That", which had been used previously for the Any Given Sunday soundtrack.
