K Fed Dives Into Poetry

Posted on November 3, 2005

Kevin Federline, husband of Britney Spears, is releasing his first rap album, The Truth, which is dues for release in 2006. The lyrics for one of K-Fed's new songs, "Y'All Ain't Ready," was leaked to the website of producer Disco D. So, is K-Fed the next Eminem? The next Kanye West? Apparently not. And when he played the CD for his wife, Britney reportedly told him it was terrible. So was she just giving honest criticism or was Britney being unduly harsh? You decide.

Against what the New York Daily News' Lowdown column calls "a crude beat," Federline � the father of three, including his son with Spears, Sean Preston Federline, born in September � says during the chorus of the song: "Back then they called me K-Fed/ But you can call me Daddy instead."

As the rap's refrain goes: "Go ahead and say whatcha wanna/I'm gonna sell about 2 mil, oh, then I'm a goner ... I know you all wish you was in my position/Cause I keep gettin' in situations that you wish you was in, cousin ... Steppin' in this game and y'all ain't got a clue ... Getting anxious? Go take a peep/ I'm starrin' in your magazines now every day and week ... But maybe baby you can wait and see/ Until then all these Pavarottis followin' me."

The Daily News suggests that Federline means to say "paparazzi" instead of "Pavarotti," who is a famed opera singer. (Other Web sites say it's not a mistake, but Federline's nickname for the ever-present photographers.)

Still, claims the Post, the beats of the song stick in the ear � even if they're not terribly original � and the sound effects may remind you of a pinball machine, albeit one submerged in water.

Yikes. Somehow we don't feel like putting in a pre-order on Amazon.com for the CD.
