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.

By far the greatest rap album to be released in history. "moguls" like dr. dre and grandmaster flash cry when hearing this, seeing that there work is just so inferior. people will play this and god will bless them!

Putting all of the news headlines aside, and really listening to this material, all I can say is, you have to be kidding me. An absolute joke. It's a crime if this guy makes one stinking dollar off this crap. What an insult. Thank God I listened to someone elses copy and did not waste any of my money, but it did waste my time. And to really fuel my dislike, is the fact that he is a leech, only able to live off of others. He is self centered and disrespectful and deserves nothing until he grows up. Give it up dude. Go back to dancing or whatever it is you do.… Expand

he has to get a fucking live

I am disgusted by this album. I agree with the song "America's Most Hated".. He is truly America's most hated.

The sound of poor African people dieing of diarrhea sounds more exciting then buying, or listening to this album, or even thinking of this album.

i read a comment earlier where someone who liked the album compared it to ebola...i have to admit it is very much like ebola and listening to the album makes my insides want to liquify...a certainly more pleasant experience than listen to this. not even worth the disc the printed it on...

Makes his ex-wife sound good.

This is so excruciatingly painful I would liken the feeling to an alligator biting off the tip of my penis.

Just. Just awful.

lol gg moron. No more poon for you.

Best. Album. Ever.

gag me

In 2006, the first year of the beast in the new millenium, the unholy union of a wigger and a washed-up pop star will result in the birth of the AntiChrist, signaling the end of civilization as we know it. No, Jayden isn't the AntiChrist, its this album! Listening to this album will cause massive bleeding from the ears and delirium, but playing the CD backwards will unleash the demons of Hell onto the world! Did you think the album's release date on Halloween and the re-release of The Omen on 6/6/2006 was a coincidence? It was a prophesy of what was to come. Repent your sins, for the end is nigh!… Expand

yes i know the lyrics are very poor but i think that it adds novelty in fact kfed is so disillusioned the record goes beyond novelty to a work of art it is an interesting listen and i think it deserves praise for that oh and dance with a pimp really is a work of genious

This is actually a pretty solid CD if you can get past the headlines. K-Fed is dropping science left and right, and I feel better for having heard 'Playing with Fire' - it's dope.

Takes the most commercialized forms of rap music and slaps them all together, then tops it all off with his pretentious, self-absorbed lyricisms that clearly exaggerate his proposed "greatness." Awful CD

Worst. Album. Ever.

WOW!!!!!! when i poped this in thd record pplayer i just said WOW!!!!! KEvin federline is a really good rapper whose make good music and love. IF You're looking of good music look no longer!!! KEVIN IS MY SAVOR!!!!!! p.m.s. he's also better than britnay sopers who i love

Worse than his ex. This album is total B.S.

best album ever made!!! just kidding...as worthless as you'd heard about

He should stick to what he does best..... ooops this is what he does best.

Gawd-awful. An insult to intelligence. Commercial oblivion here comes K Fed...........never to darken the doorstep of the charts, for good reason.

Please tell me that now they've split up, he'll go back to wherever he came from... and get the hell away from a recording studio

Man K- Fed does it again... he has cemented himself in the rap hall of fame.. with his new cd.. Seriously folks this guy is one of if not the greatest rappers of all time.. ive heard nas.. ive heard jay-z and none of them even hold a candle to k-fed. If there is ONE album this year that u should go grab it is def Playing with Fire! Peace.

He's hot. I'd do him. He gets 1 point for that.

KF's Voice is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard

why there isnt minus rating?? hes assholes...thats right.. this is a jooke.. zzz..

I never heard the album, but I know its garbage. I also did this to bring down his score, because at the moment its a 2.6, which he does not deserve. The only thing he did right was promotoe it. But not even all the time he spent promoting it, could help this trash. I wouldnt use this to play frisbee with.

K Fed has too much time and money on his hands.

Hahahaha what a joke.

Who would listen to this crap beside Brittany Spears.

I Just Like The Beats On This Album But I Didnt Really Like The Lyrics..

Now i know that k-fed is hot, for god sakes i fantasize about him every night!! But this album is trash. its a blip in his otherwise perfect carrer. But i still LOVE K-fed. Id give him a blowjob!

My ears are bleeding.

This has to be the worst album of the decade. KFed needs another occupation because he cannot cut it in the music industry.

What Eminem did for white rappers, Federline sets them back just as much.

This is what happens when a random, white, American dumbass gets lucky. Kfed, you had your big chance, a one in a million chance, to create art and have it available to the masses. And this is what you produce? Sure, no one (and deep down inside you know this too) was surprised by how terrible a musician you are. What is tragic is that Britney could have married one of millions and millions of talented yet poor musicians all over American. But she married you, o mighty juggernaught of suck, o grand prince of lame. It's just not fair. At the very least, you have reminded us all of that sad fact. Life is just not fair.… Expand

Probably the most illuminating album of 2006. Kevin Federline is an iconoclast and arguably the most incisive wordsmith of his generation.

Such a letdown sadly.

Like anyone other than a mental midget would give it a higher rating

the '10' is not for this album--I haven't heard it--but for Raoul V's review below. good stuff.

Fed Ex over and out.

if i were britney i would kill myself or him or at least never EVER go out in public again.. like is he even serious? how couldnt he even know that he sucks soooooo bad?.. does he just think ppl will think hes cool and buy the album bc hes married brittney?

On what day did God create Kevin Federline, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?

Worst. Album. Ever.

a disaster...music like this should be illegal

K-Fed made me so wet I slipped on the new tiles and put out my hip

Finally, K-Fed is able to silence his critics by releasing a brilliant album. It may not be popular now, but Playing With Fire will help shape the future of popular music.

It's just so stupid. Period. So very stupid. Embarassing for him, I'm sure.

move aside John Edward - this guy is now the biggest douche in the universe, with mister B (see his review here) as a close second.

I like the way his a** actually wrote down and recorded the s*** it poured out.

For the love of anything sane, don't even bother listening to any of this trash...

I can't believe I wasted 16 dollars on this disc! The only reason I bought this was for the song "Popo Zao" and it's not even on here. Luckily my neighborhood record store accepts refunds so I turned this in and bought a chicken dinner instead.

k-fed is neither "dope" nor "whack" and his rhymes are definitly the oppposite of "tight"

WACK. Hey Kevvy - Pull your d1ck out of Brittney and work a little more on your rhymes before you press them in plastic...

Parker, you said it for me man... Well said, well said..

Is this some kind of joke?

It sucks!!! Pure garbage! Sounds like a baby being hit with a cat!!!

No booooyyeeee!!

Rarely have I heard such genius.... KFed is more than anything else a visionary, and of course, a twice divorced father of three children (one of which is black).

"Borat" . . . I laughed out loud at that comment. Rap is seldom quality music, making this album the lowest of the low.

without comments

Move over Eminem. The next great white rapper has landed on planet Earth. His name is Kevin and his mellifluous flows will make you think of heaven. So what if he's married to a washed up pop singer; he just needed that spark to unleash his talent upon the masses. Most industry "experts" will pan this album as one of the worst of the year, however, I don't hear them coming out with hit songs in English much less Portuguese. For real though, buy this album and listen to it all the way through just once and you'll feel like you just got done playing with FIRE! Highlights include "Dance with a Pimp" and "Crazy." But don't just listen to me and certainly don't just listen to all these haters. They're just copying each other because no one has the guts to publicly acknowledge this album for what it really is... Da Bomb.… Expand

Terrible abum, full of nonsensical lyrics and terrible beats.

this was a tewrible album

When I was 14 my friends and I made a rap album in our basement using a casio keyboard and a $10 mic. We made up the lyrics as we went along. It was better than this.

Never again.

No hes not makin a living, hes making a painful racket. And I hope he knows that we all hate him

I don't understand why anyone would give this album a 10, it breaks new ground for terrible.

You wish Fed-Ex!

I don't think it's all that bad. K-Fed screwed himself by going out completely on his own. I think he could have had better success colaborating with someone more experienced in R-B (Bigger name) and X-ing the self importance act. Undoubtably he can RAP ...his personality and reputation is just not strong enough to propell him into a successful career.

ya k- fed is a complete joke. and i really think that anyone who gave this more then a 2 is jus jokin around and bein an idiot

Why can't this guy just go away.

Great album, one of the best i've ever heard.

Man you cracka asses dont no shiiiiiit. This album is off the hizzy. it just makes me want to get 'jiggy with it' and 'keep it real' homie. this is some of the best shit ive heard since vanilla ice mutha fucka!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

only two songs meet my listening standards but all songs have boring lyrics

im giving him a 1 out of pity if you like this album.....kill yourself

Let me start by saying that listening to a cat getting its tail chopped off would sound better then this. Seriously, the guy has as much beat as a dial tone. And his lyrics? Don't even get me started. I could bitch and moan about his lyrics for weeks strait. As if his music, if you can even call it that, wasn't bad enough, K-Fed himself has a few issues to deal with. Wait, scratch that, not 'a few'. The guy's whole life is one big issue. How many times must I remind him that he's NOT an African-American rapper from the ghetto whose had to work hard to gain money? In reality, he's just a stereotypical white-boy strait out from the trailer park who somehow managed to knock-up one of the worlds most well known celebrities. I've personally never been a fan of Britney, but her carer is officially gone thanks to this douchbag. Thank you, K-Fed.… Expand

That's just for trying. His producers suck and his rap will help you go to sleep at night, maybe, but it doesn't make you want to party, he should try doing country songs.

This is dat hip hop gansta who likes to mix it wit a bit of rock n' roll

The ablum was bad. Maybe becuase it wasnt his style of music, maybe he should do rock or sumthin. I do, however respect him for trying

It really is THAT awful.

NW-who? K-fed is the new wave of RAPPERS!

I like it.

I laughed my head off when i listened to some off his (whatever you could call it). I just could not believe it!

The MOST amazing album of all time! Its very existence validates mine.

Total crap! no good tunes, lame lyrics, unoriginal and disposable!! how good can it be listening to 11 tracks about money, drugs and parties?... If what gay-fed was trying to pull with this was his singing career, let me tell you he ended it before even starting it!

Wow this piece of crap is so bad it makes elevator music sound composed by Beethoven. I think i now know what the devil makes while wanking and it's this.

A pure piece of drival.

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

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 guess I have have to return to only listening to Britney. John said that he really digs that Womanizer tune. Power to the people. Just not the black ones.… Expand

After reading massive bad reviews on this CD , I sampled it at Amazon, and it only took me 10 seconds of listening to close the window and try to stop the bleeding from my ears.... I mean, this is just the worst album ever released. It makes Hannah Montana a Grammy winner! As I read before, there are millions of talented but unsigned musicians out there, but as soon as a moron who didn�39;t finish high-school like you marries a famous and gorgeous singer as Britney, you got the chance. You got the chance to prove that you had a teensy bit of talent...but it turns out there is no talent to prove! Bad lyrics, God awful voice and just an awful album. Shame on the people who spent money on this piece of crap!… Expand

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.

Fake. Lame. Rapping about how cool you are has never been entertaining, but hearing it come from Kevin Federline is laughable.

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.

like all other masterpieces of the 21st century 'Playing with Fire' is both exhilarating and breathtaking. No one will admit the beauty of this album, merely because he got famous. Do not fall into the same trap. reminiscent of 'Stankonia', 'The Black Album' and 'Late Registration'. 10/10

Kevin Federline is a madman on a tear, beautifying and demolishing the world; when he’s in a frenzy, he can do no wrong. Of course he should be proud of his collaborative output with Britney Spears, but there’s something completely gratifying in knowing he can take full credit for the perfection that is Playing With Fire. Playing With Fire is marvelous; our awe compounds in sight of Federline's limitlessness. An edifying, freeing work without a single misstep, it’s impossible to grasp how good this is in a single listen. Beginning with the oddly syncopated, stream-of-consciousness epic, "World Is Mine", we know from the onset that Kevin Federline has seen the expanses of oblivion and they have inspired him. His creativity wells up and spills out in drunken warbling and cackling fits from time to time; he has been privy to too much to hold anything in. Greatness is a concern on the charming, rambling "America's Most Hated", where passion and awareness tangle with hypocrisy for complex interaction; the track, as the album, is aware of its stature yet striving and humbled. In broad daylight, "Lose Control" can be downright silly, but its foggy abandon, luscious wailing and startling, twitching genius allow it to fight as a standout among standouts. It, in conjunction with the choked, contented yowl of "Dance With A Pimp", offers up fanciful dreams of duets: Would not "Lose Control" benefit from the modest, luckless harmonizing of Mark Eitzel? Wouldn’t "Dance With A Pimp" be expertly covered by Victoria Williams on an expanded version of Loose? One dares to dream, but it is of little consequence as Federline powers every bit of "League Of My Own" on his own. How in the world did he arrange this music so perfectly, phrase these words so obtusely and deepen his own capacities so effortlessly? The questions are confounding, the results even more so. While Bowie comparisons will surely rear their heads again upon hearing "Privilege" the holy, redemptive rock track is marked by a singular, enwrapping drive, its inspiration not from the Man Who Sold the World, but seemingly out of thin air. Every ounce of Playing With Fire is characterized by perplexing magic that appears from nowhere. The romantic and wryly humorous "Kept On Talkin" maps out cavernous expanses and fills them all; a non-existent audience turns into a packed house on "Middle Finger", the masses gathering to watch the mumbling, unbridled spectacle. Everyone who lends an ear to Playing With Fire becomes part of that gawking crowd; know that our mouths are agape not due to insanity, but in pondering how perfect self-expression mirrors madness so closely.… Expand
