    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.

    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. On this occasion however, this album really is a zero if there ever was one. Never has a rap album flowed so badly. Lyrically, it is easily one of the worst album's I have ever come across.

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 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.

    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.
