He started out his career at a young age as a fledgling rapper. He met Kid Rock in 1987, and Rock asked Kracker to become his DJ. Kracker did not know how to work the turntables, but he soon learned how to, and he became a long-term friend and colleague of Rock.

Kracker worked with Kid Rock until he became a solo artist in 2000.

The My Hometown Songfacts reports that Kracker recorded Postcards From Home over seven weeks in early 2011. The album title was inspired by his hectic life on the road after his successful Happy Hour longplayer.

Mike No


on Aces and Eights

The explanation of the meanings of the lyrics was either written by a kindergartener or AI bot.
The bar reference was about a guy who was cocky, especially about his billiards skills, high on himself with his head in the clouds, but not very grounded in reality, and was careless and died after getting hit by as truck as a result.

The next reference was a guy that would hit the clubs, chat up the chicks, bed them later that night, but fucked without wearing protection, i.e. condoms (gloves) because he was too cool for that (hardcore). He got HIV, contracted AIDS or some other STD and died, Again, a real player, but not grounded in reality and paid the price.

The third reference was of a young woman trying to 'make it in world', so she moved to the 'big city', and quickly realized the skills she learned in her small town wouldn't mean success on the basis of merit only. She realized the only way she could compete with her other coworkers for promotions was to sellout and perform oral sex on her male bosses. to help her achieve success in her career. (under a desk trying to make it to the top). Rumors swirled that she was a slut, and she never got the promotions or success that she craved.

In each case, either vanity, gluttony, or pride (3 of the 7 deadly sins) were cast aside in order to achieve their specific dreams and goals, and due to poor decision making, each ultimately 'paid the price' for their mistakes. "Watch what you ask for you might get it" is a warning to others that don't tempt fate, don't compromise your morals just to get the sweet taste of success, because you will lose every time, and sometimes with deadly consequences. Hence, Aces & 8's - "Dead Man's Hand' reference to the poker hand Bill Hickok was holding when he was approached by a buffalo hunter he had crossed in the past. Lyrics also parallel the "7 Deadly Sins" like desiring what other have but you can't get (lust, envy), desiring everything but wanting to work for it, takes shortcuts (lust, gluttony, sloth), getting what you want, but being unsatisfied, wanting more (lust, greed) and sacrificing one's owns morals and principals to achieve that lofty prize, or accomplishment.

In poker, The 'Ace' is the highest card, but in Blackjack can be assigned a value of 1 or 11. This wide range of values means that one needs to be true to their belief system regardless of whether you have good or evil intentions or meager or lofty goals. The 'Eights' is reference to the symbol for 'eternity', which is 8 laying on its side. This means you have to be vigilant and make good decisions your whole life. Hickok was playing 5-card stud and holding only four cards.....two A's and two 8's while playing poker in Deadwood, Dakota Territory. The fact that Hickok hand only consisted of four card (unfulfilled goals) and was waiting for his fifth card to be dealt by the dealer (Life),. Two scenarios exist: the next card (decision) could be another A or 8, elevating the hand to a full house therefore, which would be seen as 'good = luck = in the future' or the next card (decision) could be any other card in deck, not changing one's position in life and having to resort to bluffing (lying. deception. untruthfulness = evil) to win..
