Kevin Federline's performance torn apart by the rap community

Kevin Federline's performance at the Teen Choice Awards has been torn apart by the rap community.
The wannabe MC - who is married to Britney Spears - debuted his new single 'Lose Control' at the event in Los Angeles on Sunday (20.08.06).

I just think we ignore him [Federline]. 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."

- Elliot Wilson, editor in chief of XXL magazine

"The thing that really hurts him is the fact that he's perceived as Britney's husband. 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."

- Jermaine Hall, executive editor of King magazine

Kevin's performance - which included the lamentable lyrics 'Don't hate because I'm a superstar! And I'm married to a superstar! Nothin' come between us no matter who you are!' - has already sparked a string of less than favorable comments after being posted on internet site YouTube.

Kevin - who already has a son, Sean Preston, with the 'Toxic' singer, with a second on the way - is due to release his debut hip-hop album 'Playing With Fire' in October.
