Kevin Federline Album: “Playing With Fire [PA]”

Description :

Personnel: Kevin Federline (rap vocals); Britney Spears (vocals); Ya Boy, Bosko (rap vocals); Notes (various instruments). <p>Recording information: 2006. <p>Kevin Federline was something of a celebrity superstar well before his musical career began, thanks to his marriage to Britney Spears, his appearances on their reality show CHAOTIC, and his almost incessant presence in tabloids and on internet gossip blogs. After dropping a couple of singles that were mocked by critics more than they were played by the public, K-Fed released PLAYING WITH FIRE in 2006, a full-length collection of hip-hop tunes in a lite West Coast g-funk mode. <p>Whether K-Fed deserves the ridicule people love to heap on him is a decision listeners will have to make for themselves. Federline's heavy-lidded flow and simplistic rhymes aren't going to win him any awards, and his G-funk beats may be a bit too familiar, but the value of PLAYING WITH FIRE lies--like Paris Hilton's PARIS--in its status as pop culture currency. Hip-hop purists will recoil, but the album will likely sell a lot of copies. In doing so it will probably reinforce K-Fed's reputation as "America's Most Hated," and help that reputation grow.

Do you want to laugh? And I mean the kind of deep-down, uncontrollable, belly laugh that leaves your sides so sore that it hurts to go poop later? **THIS** is the album for you.

Playing With Fire is jam-packed with clearence bin G-funk beats, silly posturing, shameless ego-stroking and the most simplistic rhymes since Dr. Seuss. Wait, check that! The Cat in the Hat was a lyrical masterpiece compared to this album. I don't know which running theme is more comical: bragging about the money he didn't make, talking up all the drugs he doesn't do or regaling us with tales of the hard-knock life that he never lived.

It's funny that Amazon is listing Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera under "Customers who bought this item also bought", but in many ways it's not fair to the ex-Mr. Spears or the Wannabe Ms. Spears. Both of them have at least made peace with what they are. I have the alarming impression that Cletus really believes he's some sort of hard-core baller. Where's Suge Knight when you need him?

I bought this album as a gag gift for a few close friends who enjoy rap. I'm sorry I did. I'm now involved in a class action lawsuit from those same friends and their families. The charge is perpetuating psychological abuse, psychosomatic trauma, spontaneous ear bleeding, nausea and virgin sextuplet births... with an intent to distribute. My legal bills are through the roof and I'm seriously contemplating moving to New Zealand and living as a vagabond.

then I heard the 2nd track...that made me laugh..by the 4th track I was having an athsma attack laughing so hard. By the last track I was crying that I had just lost 50 minutes of my life I will never get back.

By the way...I find it amusing that Amazon has paired this CD with Justin Timberlakes under "Better Together". Now THAT made my day, hahahahaha!

* track 5 sounds like a casio keyboard was used for the music

* It is a little better at 1.5 speed (but it sounds like the Alvin and the Chipmunks album but with 1337 |-|4rd(0r3 lyrics )

* After hearing this I had to go listen to "sound of music" soundtrack to get right again!

My advice... JUST SAY NO! Don't even try it once... You (or someone you love) will get hurt if you listen to this!

One of my supposed friends bought me this cd. I don't know why you hate me. What did I do to you man? Was it because I forgot your birthday? Why did you do this to me?

I'll never get over this. This is horrible. HORRIBLE! Why release this? Please go back to flailing your arms and legs for no logical reasons... (or dancing... whatever you called it.)

Mr. Britney. Go home. And never sing again.
