It appears as if Kevin Federline has had the last laugh. Apparently his diabolical scheme to completely turn off the world's music fans with his disastrous single "PopoZao" was a huge success.
According to reports spreading across the Internet, Mr. Britney Spears put out "PopoZao" so that people would look at him like a talentless wannabe rapper. "That way, when I come out with my real sh**, people are f****** blown away," he allegedly said.
Well, he got the first part right. Now we're just waiting to be blown away.

The rap debut of Kevin Federline -- known as K-Fed to some but to most as Mr. Britney Spears -- features only a snippet of his lyrical prowess. Given the response to it, even less might have been better.
"PopoZao," Brazilian-inspired groove which features Federline rapping about large posteriors in-between a few yelps and a gruff-voiced chorus, made its debut on the Internet earlier this month. Though the track is three minutes long and Federline's rap lasts for less than a minute, it has already become a popular music track circulating on the Web.
But popular and likable are two distinct notions when it comes to "PopoZao." Entertainment Weekly said it was worse than expected while the music trade magazine Billboard called it "a monument to mediocrity."
"It's incredible -- incredibly horrible," laughs DJ Star of the raucous Star & Buc Wild show, which broadcasts from New York's Power 105.1 but is syndicated nationally.
"The good news is there's a lot of exposure for him; the bad news is 75 percent are rating it as an 'F,"' says Jack Isquith, executive director at AOL Music, which devoted a whole page -- mockingly titled "The Emancipation of K-Fed" -- to the song, and allowed visitors to rate "PopoZao." He said a half-million visitors have been on the site and about 85,000 have played the song.
