![]() K-Fed has some swagger (that he can't back up) but lacks any kind of talent. But they can, at least, get by on having the kind of swagger that most White Boys lack. Soulja Boy is like, the source from which half of these guys were apparently cloned. Anyone who went into a fairly well mixed public school could tell you that every black guy thinks he's got xtra siiick rhymin' skillzz, and a very large percentage of them actually don't. There are lot of black people who have the latter but lack the former. ![]() The truth of the matter is that "the ability to rap" originates from two key sources, talent for putting words together on your feet and songwriting skills, and simple swagger. This theory was proven wrong in 2000 with the release of The Marshall Mathers LP and the advent of "Em Theory". White Boy Rapping experts initially theorized that White Boys could not, in fact, rap. K-Fed's tag cloud at Last.fm should give you a pretty good idea of how people usually respond to his music:Ī popular resource for all White Boy Rapologists. Actually, on second thought, that blog is probably run by K-Fed himself. I'm surprised that they had enough time to write that review, considering that they must've been busy buying those 16,000 CDs that no one else in the world could logically want to buy. Its author claimed that K-Fed's album is "probably some of the most sincere urban storytelling you'll hate to admit you like." LOLgasm. ![]() At least he actually, shockingly enough, has a long-running and still active fan blog. Four of the eight scheduled tour performances (Cleveland, Atlantic City, Anaheim, and San Diego) were ultimately cancelled. Although many of the tickets were given away for free, approximately three-quarters of the seats at his Chicago performance remained empty. In New York City, Federline performed before an estimated audience of 300 out of a total seating capacity of 1,500 at Webster Hall, with only one-third of attendees remaining by the end of the concert. According to Wikipedia: The "Playing with Fire" concert tour was also a commercial disaster. The album is the lowest rated album on Metacritic since it's inception in 1999, and sold a mere 16,000 copies before they took the CD out of production. Playing With Fire is where I decided to begin because it's widely regarded as one of the biggest musical failures of the past decade. Sorry, Kev, but Kanye can only get away with not using a stagename because his name isn't "Federline", which sounds like some bizarre, German, cheese-centric dish. And he actually refers to himself a few times on the album under his whole name. (NOT) On a side note, "Kevin Federline" is the worst rap name ever. Note that he drops the moniker for this album in favor of his full name, clearly telling you of the classy, professional content that you'll find within. You can totally do that now.įederline originally positioned himself under the MC name "K-Fed" and - as one would hope and expect - was mocked relentlessly by the media. Like, if I'm ever asked to describe what I do, I'm going to say that I'm an American personality. The album's Wikipedia page describes Federline as both a rapper and an "American personality". If you're not familiar with Federline, he was the back-up dancer that Britney Spears married because she needed someone to spend all her money and fill her with gross wigger jizz. Kevin Federline, Playing With Fire (2006) Playing With Fire is the debut and so-far only album by one Kevin Federline. I will post my first review sometime in the next week. Tokio Hotel - Anything by them, since I think they've actually released several albums. Garth Brooks - In the Life of Chris Gaines My initial list of albums I'm considering should give you an idea of what I'm getting at: I'm sure there are plenty of EuropeanProtoCrustPunkIndustrialNoiseDrone bands who have recorded albums that are 50 minutes of guitar feedback. This has to be something moderately well known, that doesn't fit into some terribly obscure genre. I'll ask for suggestions, though I'm going to be "researching" on my own time as well. Hopefully in subjecting myself to the worst of the worst, I will be more willing to listen to crap so that people know what to look out for. This is actually a habit that I'd like to stop, because in writing reviews for Opinz, I'm not required to listen to anything, but I'd like to be able to look at things as objectively as possible. If the first few tracks are boring me, I simply turn it off. I personally have a tendency to give up on an album if I'm not being satisfied with it. Videogum has an excellent series called The Hunt for the Worst Movie of All Time.
