Kentuckian Maurice Foreman claims that Kid Rock’s “So Hott,” the first single from Rock N Roll Jesus, is a direct rip-off of Foreman’s “Slow Death,” which was supposedly copyrighted back in 1997. The evidence, according to Foreman, is that Rock sings “So Hott” three times in the chorus (just like in “Slow Death”!) and that the two songs have near-identical lead guitar riffs. We listened to both songs, and Foreman’s claims are just straight up ridiculous. First off, Foreman’s song sounds like it was recorded on some eight-track tape-era medium. The chances that Rock by some miracle heard this Kentucky mountain man’s basement tape and felt inspired is less likely than a Kid Rock/Tommy Lee VMA rematch. That is, unless Rock is a member of some BitTorrent site that specializes in southern rock wanna-bes. If you’re gonna sue Kid Rock, at least think of something more creative.
