    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.

    THE RAP SONG IS SO FREAKING HORRENDIS!!! >:(
    EVEN EMINEM IS BETTER THAN PLAYING WITH FIRE!

    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

    I wonder if this guy wrote these lyrics in the bathroom in 15 minutes and thought that it's a good idea to record them and release as an album, well if he did, he's wrong.

    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.

    It's quite difficult to give an album 0 out of 10. It's effectively saying, it wasn't even worth the time, money and effort in the studio to create.

Take "Im livin' life in the fast lane, then the cash came, fire wont quit, still burnin like a gas flame" as an example. The amount of upcoming underground US artists that could've been selected to record an album, and yet Kevin Federline was given the green light just because he was Britney Spears' husband at the time. Absolute disgrace. Waste of time, money and effort.… Expand

    I'd rather sit through an 8 hour loop of Justin Bieber's "Baby" than listen to this record ever again. I'd swear to god that if you gave a piece of paper and crayons to a 3 year old the lyrics he would come up with would sound like the Beatles compared to this.

    The only reason I gave it a 1 is because he at least tried. But this album is filled with the worst imaginable flow and sets of rhyming available. Soulja Boy Tell 'Em isn't even this bad.

    I would rather carve my entrails out with a rusty spoon and then slit my throat, than listen to this guy. Has anyone noticed how even MC dissed him in the summary? --- Kevin, please kill yourself if youre so damn upset about that slu-- *ahem*, don't insult us with these abominations.

    This album is a complete mess from the first track. The lyrics really don't make sense, it seems like he's trying to impress the hip-hop world, and the way he puts his rhyme together does not work out.

    I was going to use this album on my campaign, but once I found out that he used a Russian producer, I couldn't kill enough seals to make it worth while. Please buy this album and support the American economy. I would have given this 10 stars, but in my tour of that goofy evolution museum, I heard Po Po's Out playing in the back room and lost all hope in this genre.

    I think that even the critics had hard time remain objective to this album. It has couple of listenable songs and Federlines rap flow is no worse than Eminems for example. I dont know if the music is the most important thing when you listen to rap, but if thats the case I heard worse. Though K Feds lyrics are hidious he has salvaged some songs on this album with a decent production.

    The feeling and theme of this album can be summed up in two words: WANNABE, and POSER.

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

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