What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Kevin Federline's music is filled with references to drinking, drug use, brand names, and explicit/sexist sexuality -- not to mention awful songwriting and lackluster singing.
What's the story?
Kevin Federline -- Britney Spears' former backup dancer/husband has nothing to offer us but lackluster lyrics that celebrate drugs, drinking, sexist behavior, and his own fabulousness. PLAYING WITH FIRE is an awful CD filled with in-your-face rants devoid of any wit or charm. K-Fed seems proud of the fact that he loves to get high, think about women as objects put into the world to please him, and write really bad songs about his rich yet limited life.
Is it any good?
The real problem on Playing With Fire goes beyond the message to songwriting and performance. Lyrics from the title song ("I keep the marijuana right where the sluts be, right where my nuts be ... the media treats me unjustly") are typical of the degree of depth (i.e. shallowness), poetry, and soul achieved here. Content is filled with just about every four-letter word there is. Brand names (mostly clothing and alcoholic beverages) abound.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about how K-Fed's marriage to (and break up with) Britney Spears might have affected his career; that is, if anyone feels like talking about him at all. Do you think he would have been able to make an album if their relationship hadn't raised his profile?

What a waste of time, money, and energy...
This CD is not only sexist, stupid, and vulgar, but it is also hard to listen to without feeling like you're going to lose your hearing any second. I don't think there's ever been a worst CD produced. Bad singing, bad influence, this is one of my top ten picks for kids NOT to listen to.

Ok. Ok. Compared to Eminem, Eminem would be so tame, Kevin could blow Em out of the water. This is more uncensored than anything! NO KIDS!
