Hip-hop community considers K-Fed irrelevant and a joke


Bigwigs in the hip-hop community have dismissed Kevin Federline’s piss poor attempt to break into the rap industry by getting his former pop star wife to bolster his lack of talent. Magazine editors say he’s not really notable, and if he is, it’s only for a brief laugh:

Elliot Wilson, editor in chief of XXL magazine, hadn’t seen Federline’s TV debut. Still, he called it a “YouTube disaster” — something to be laughed off in hip-hop circles.

“I just think we ignore him,” Wilson told The Associated Press on Monday. “He’s a joke, basically. … I just don’t think he gets it. He doesn’t get that he’s Britney’s man and it’s hard to take him seriously.”

Jermaine Hall, executive editor of King magazine, echoes that sentiment.

“The thing that really hurts him is the fact that he’s perceived as Britney’s husband,” Hall, who had yet to see the performance, told the AP. “You know, kinda like Britney’s second — I don’t even want to say second in command, but — he’s like the Britney Boy. He’s like Mrs. Spears, and it’s kinda hard to get over that perception.”

That last guy was pretty generous in his quotes. If K-Fed had any talent it wouldn’t really matter that he’s Britney’s husband. I would like to see him get his ass handed to him in a freestyle rap competition with any halfway decent street rapper. Did you see “8 Mile?” K-Fed writes his rhymes ahead of time and they’re awful. There’s no way he has enough skill or brains to diss someone on the fly – he would get laughed off the stage.

Here is K-Fed in mercifully few shots of his god-awful performance at the Teen Choice Awards, along with some of Britney. Thanks to BreatheHeavy.com for the pics.

    I disagree with you on one point Celebitchy: Federline would have had to have had A LOT of talent to be recognized on his own. People hate it when they think someone has had success handed to them. As Britney’s husband, and as someone who was allowed to debut at such a big event, Kevin had a lot of pressure on him. Just being good wouldn’t have been good enough. These two guys you’ve quoted felt comfortable slamming his performance without even seeing it.

    One last thing. I predict that Kevin and Britney will break up pretty quickly now. Kevin’s dream is in ruins and I’m sure he’ll find a way to blame that on Britney.

    I know what you mean Randi, but I didn’t explain myself clearly. I meant that if K-Fed were talented people wouldn’t be calling him Mr. Britney Spears as much. I didn’t mean that if he was a little more talented he could make it on his own, if that makes sense.

    I was so afraid he was going to be good! I don’t think it would take a lot of talent for him to get some success with his record (due to Britney) but it would take quite a bit to get a warm welcome from the rap community. Since he has none, he’ll now have to face the fact that banging Brit didn’t do him much good as far as his career is concerned. I’m sure though that he has ample reserves of self-denial, so he’ll probably keep on rapping until he’s laughed out of some venue. I also agree that he’s likely now to blame it on her in some way though she did everything in her power, poor waddling Brit, to help him. I have a feeling that his best behavior days are over now and he’ll be back with his homies soon. Have you seen the blind item about him getting hordes of whores and strippers on his trips to Vegas?
