"If you're coming for me, K Federline, I hit like a tsunami..."
Kevin Federline's single, "America's Most Hated," is back on the aspiring hip-hop star's MySpace site, now that he has replaced a possibly pilfered hook with some new lyrics. But even though K-Fed erased the original song from the page when the controversy arose, he might not be able to erase the situation quite so easily.

The track that took shape a few weeks ago purportedly sampled The Infamous rapper Mobb Deep's song "Got it Twisted"--but the familiarity trail doesn't end there. Mobb Deep originally borrowed from synth-pop star Thomas Dolby's 1983 hit "She Blinded Me with Science" for "Got it Twisted." So, by the transitive property or, whatever, Federline may have used Dolby's riff.

But according to Dolby, Federline never asked to use the '83 tune, whereas Mobb Deep went through certain legal channels and got a license to rip. Once Dolby got wind of the new single, he went public with his reaction, saying he never would have licensed his music for Federline's "vitriolic rap" and calling K-Fed's star lesser than Vanilla Ice's.

But at least Federline is rockin' some new creative content that could be fodder for his upcoming album, Playing with Fire, which he announced would set turntables a-burning in August. Some of the replacement lyrics that made their way into the revamped version of "America's Most Hated" go like this: "You're gonna need a big arm, if you're coming for me, K Federline, I hit like a tsunami."

1. I'll bet he pronounces the t in tsunami.
probably closer to a slip and slide. or the squirt from a douchebag hose.

I like Jimmy Kimmel's name for him when BS finally dumps him, "Fed-Ex".

2. F-Ked needs kiqued in the dique.
Fred Durst has met his mental and talent equal.

3. This only goes to show, and I know this is an unpopular view
that rappers who steal music and simply talk over it aren't musicians.

Sure, they can be considered artists, I say this because I consider some of my artwork actual art, for example

but making money by taking someone else's riffs is criminal.
