Kevin Federline's Album Starts Leaking

How many of you heard that a postpartum Spears had heard K-Fed's finished tracks and wasn't impressed? And then said a silent prayer to the internet? Here you go.

Aaron sez: "Federline's been working on his album with Disco D. D was posting on the hollertronix.com message boards and everyone was hating on the concept so he posted up a sample from the album" (link dead)

K Fed - "Y'all Aint Ready" (MP3) (new, working link)

According to Disco D, Kev's stopped writing songs altogether. "[H]e doesnt even write anything down he just goes in and straight freestyles." And, um, in Portuguese on at least one track.

More Disco D: "You gotta understand the first song we did was the first time my man was ever in the booth. so he wrote 2 songs and then got a copy of fade to black, watched it, and never wrote a lyric down again."

At least the beat is hot.

Update: According to the Hollertronix boards, K-Fed actually is saying "Pavarotti": "I've been informed that's just K-Fed slang for papparazzi, he calls them Pavarottis in real life. that's his style..."

Update 2: Indeed, we were not ready for that. All the deep linking gave the server a fat headache, so we've replaced it with a YSI MegaUpload. Post your own in the comments.

Oh my god. I really do feel so bad for that poor little kid. Think about what kind of person would try to release a song like that. Just like the sense of inflated ego that you would have to have to do that and think it was good, and that you had the musical talent or vision to be successful. And then to have that person as a parent?? This kid is going to end up being so worthless and it's not even his fault.

wow! That was bad, his raps are generic and I don't think he has the vocab in his brain to put together a good rap. It's like patty cake patty cake bakers man, and I know that dead beat daddy doesn't know any nursery rhymes, so where did he get that pattern from??? Britney should buy him a dictionary, or better yet have someone else write his rhymes. The hook is the weakest part, which is really sad that should be the strongest part. There is a little something interesting in there, but it's probably just the production.

To quote Leonard Pinth-Garnell:

"Stunningly bad!"
"Monumentally ill-advised!"
"Perfectly awful!"
"Couldn't be worse!"
"Exquisitely awful!"
"Astonishingly ill-chosen!"
"Really bit the big one!"

Eminem should send K. Fed a gift basket for singlehandedly proving that not just any white guy can get up and rap...
