    In general, Federline enunciates well. [11 Nov 2006]
  3. Other rappers might hesitate to brag about marrying into bling, but Federline isn't self-conscious about it.
  4. His flow is generic and instantly forgettable and his lyrics are trite, inconsequential and full of self-importance.

  7. Vibe
