Not only did Kevin Federline prove he is no Eminem during his first television performance, he also proved that he is oblivious to what is going on in the rap world. After all, there he was going on and on about his bling and popping Cristal when the rap world is currently boycotting the expensive champagne. Rapper Jay-Z has led the boycott of Cristal in the wake of some pointed comments by Frederic Rouzaud, the managing director of Louis Roderer Cristal about the unwanted attention given to the brand by rappers. Guess K-Fed didn't get the memo.

He probably got the memo; problem is, he just couldn't READ it.

Of course K Fed doesn't know whats going on in the rap community because he's not IN the rap community-- he's not a rapper and the sooner KFed realizes that the better off we'll all be.

I must concur with managing director of Cristal,,,,who cares about rappers or kfed,,,,,geesh,,,who gives a shit about these uneducated idiots,,,,,just cause they got money and idiot "bling".....morons.

While I agree that K-Fed is simply a fake. I don't agree with the "uneducated idiots....morons" part. Simply put...each American is given the FREEDOM to become anything he/she chooses. ALL rappers aren't uneducated morons. While they all may not have a PHD from Havard...education comes in all different forms. So just to let you know... hating went out of style a long time ago.

I bet the marketing department for Cristal didn't mind all the FREE PR. And the accounting department will feel the heat soon enough. Point to be made...in a world where the next big thing is right around the corner...don't put your nose in the air when that thing is you...because you won't be it very long.

"So just to let you know... hating went out of style a long time ago."

Tell that to the 1.6 million people who will lose their lives to violence this year.

This guy is a JOKE, a CLOWN. Other than being a complete moron and lacking any skill just spittin' what someone else has ghostwritten for him, he's trying to start controversy. I've read in 2 interviews with him where he mentions eminem in partially bad manner. One where he says he thinks he may be able to out sell em and pac(could never happen). The other "I'm doing shit not even Eminem is doing." Extortion!!!

yes, because the 1.5 million people that commit those acts of violence are OBVIOUSLY going to be rappers, everyone knows that...wow i cant believe your ignorance from that comment....at all

Idk but i don't think the rap community will ever accept him. He can keep trying to be Eminem because there is only one Eminem. If he was actually good then I think i'd listen to him but he sounds like shit, I can't stand him. I feel sorry for him but at the same time i'm SOOOOOOO glad that i'll never have to hear him on POWER 106. And I hope I never do.

I agree with the managing director of Cristal. These rappers make Cristal seem like a tacky drink, maybe he just wanted a classier representation for Cristal. I can't understand a damn word any of these guys/girls rap anyway. The only reason I like any of the music is for the catchy background beats. They can be saying random words and it wouldn't make a difference. None of them have talent, it's the people who mix the background beats that have the skill, thats the only thing that sells this *beep*.
