The tiny in height, large in attitude rapper that accompanied rock star Kid Rock in videos and on tour has died of a severe colon disorder, Atlantic Records said on Friday. Joseph Calleja, whose stage name was Joe C., died in his sleep late last week at his parents' house in a Detroit suburb. Joe C.'s adult height measured in at 3-foot-9-inches, which lead to lifetime of health problems including his fatal bout with Celiac disease.
Kid Rock
The History of Rock
(Top Dog/Lava/Atlantic)
"People are all, like, 'What you wanna do? There's rappin' on one song, singing, and screaming on how you hate your dad on another song, twangin' guitars on one song, and then you got the fresh boom bass on another song. It might turn people off.' I don't know; I'm just making it, and hopefully someone will like it. If not, me and my friends will just sit around and listen to it."
This was the typically cavalier Kid Rock talking shortly after the release of his doomed 1993 album, The Polyfuze Method. Having recently been dumped by Jive and already locking horns with his new label, Continuum, the rapper showed that even when he was a nobody, he didn't give a damn. Eight platinum albums and a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist (ha!) later, Rock gets the last laugh with The History of Rock.
Loaded with 14 tracks that stretch all the way back to Rock's not-so-humble beginnings as a flat-topped MC, the album provides hard evidence that the dynamite punch of 1998's Devil Without a Cause album was no fluke. Such songs as the incendiary "My Oedipus Complex" and "Abortion," a blunted guitar epic, would sit easily in-between "Bawitdaba" and "Only God Knows Why."
After all, Rock has been making up his own rules for over a decade, tossing together such disparate genres as hip-hop, speed metal, and country with the singular aim of self-satisfaction and coming up with a surprisingly original sound in the process. On the new track "American Bad Ass," he gives us everything he's got just to get that point across.

Exclusive Review
From the moment Devil Without a Cause began fouling up the airwaves in 1998, Kid Rock has been a nightmare wrapped in a mystery and a pimp's fur coat. Like it or not (and at least 8 million of you did) Devil was a megahit, a rap/rock collision that, by hawking other people's beats, styles, and emotions, legitimized his claims to pimphood. What better time then to release a compilation of his older, overlooked material?
Enter The History of Rock, a pompously titled archive of mostly old Kid Rock material culled from '93's The Polyfuze Method and '96's Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp. The first song, "American Bad Ass," is a new creation that rips the licks of Metallica's "Sad But True" and heaps dull, pornographic rhymes on top. At least you can't go downhill from ground zero. Or can you? The sick couplets of "F*** You Blind" are hardly the way to a gal's heart, and the shameless, endless "Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp" is a torture that Inquisitors would have winced at. The previously unreleased "Abortion" offers a glimpse of the artist he might have become: just as expressive, only more convincing. No such luck. If you want the real deal, go back to Kid Rock's roots: Run-D.M.C., Skynyrd, Black Sabbath. Kid Rock took their thunder and built his name with in-your-face guitar riffs, hip-hop grooves, and explicit lyrics. He's still in your face, only now he's rubbing your nose in his stacks of cash and platinum records. Hold your breath.
