I have not heard the Kid Rock tune, so I cannot speak to that. However, most if not all sampling for rap is arranged into a "two bar phrase" format which makes it incredibly dull to listen to. Even when a producer is using original material at times. I am really talking across the board, but mostly with "inner city rap". I have just heard to much that is bad. Conversely, Eric B and Rakim was mostly two bar phrases as well but it was funky. Just to few and far between.
still, that is a bold statement...as the sampling and clever arranging has been not only creative, but tributes its early origins..paying homage to early blues, rock, motown, country, even many facets of jazz. For example...Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" and his sampling of "Sweet Home Alabama"...ingenius. Fun Stuff. Personally, 60% of what Im listening to at the house, is classical...I just enjoy the peacefulness and richness of strings and orchestral ensembles.
I like some rap. Most of the music behind the rap is a sampled mess or is arranged horribly. Many rappers are okay it is just the people trying to make music behind it are a train wreck.
The problem I have is someone that makes a derogatory remark about someone else. What business is it for someone to call someone else "lame", (imdkmans comment), when they cannot defend themselves. Or to compare someone to others when there really isn't a reason too. The others you mentioned are great , but there is greatness in what Marty has done too. I don't understand why someone cannot find some "good" in music even when it isn't there taste. Unless it is rap, but that is another story.
Okay, you have a good sense of humor and arent taking this so seriously...that makes me like your style...cool as a cucumber. Then again, no reason to argue over an activity we have both been a part of ...its not too hard to find common ground, i assume.
Lee is on the left end of the snare line as you look at it.

Marty had his moment in the sun, but he hung on too long. He's not the first guy to do that in the history of the activity. . .
