    I had hemroids that felt better than the crap I heard coming out of KFED's mouth. Only thing missing from the lyrics, was the lyrics themselves.

    I don't own this album or anything, but once I save up enough of my allowance it'll be the first thing I buy. I heard a few cuts from it the other night at my friend's house and it knocked my socks off, damaging my shoes. This is the perfect stoner album, the beats are so crisp and the rhymes are so ill you'll think you've got ebola.

I should have enough money by next week to own this, and once I do, I promise an in-depth track-by-track review.… Expand

    Should this crap even be considered music?!? I'd rather be stabbed in both ears than hear any more K-Fed...or the music of anyone who actually likes this garbage.

    Truly a monument to just how completely masochistic our society has become, 2 tracks in I felt ecstatic merely thinking nothing in my life could ever be worse, and therefore i would be able to take any tragedy that befell me. 3 tracks later, I learned how horribly wrong i was.

    It's only good if you listen to it ironically. The beats obviously weren't produced by K-Fed himself and they're the best aspect of the album. All of the songs are amateur trash.

    I do sometimes think why did I ever listen to this album and I really don't know it has to be the worst rap album I've listened to period and that is saying something. Kevin just don't bother ever again.

    Esse CD é tão ruim que chega a ser cômico, a única coisa salvável é "Crazy", mas só porque tem participação da legendary miss Britney Spears. Socorro.

    The Worst album I have ever heard in my life. it's like a punch to my ears when I listen to this trash. K-Fed's PopoZao is an utter trash, so is the album. Mumble rap is still better than this trash

    This album is like "The Room" of hip-hop. The lyrics made me laugh because of how dumb they are. Examples: "It's going down like a fresh pair of panties," "I'm hotter than a pizza oven," "let my nuts hang like a motherf**king necklace," etc.

    The worst thing about Playing with Fire is that it's too stale and inept to inspire laughter: it can only elicit weary groans.

    In general, Federline enunciates well. [11 Nov 2006]

    Other rappers might hesitate to brag about marrying into bling, but Federline isn't self-conscious about it.
