Kevin Federline: Fake Science

By Agent Bedhead in Britney Spears, Pop Culture Mix, Vanilla Ice

kfed.jpgThomas Dolby be pissed off at Kevin Federline fo samplin’ da dope hook from tha dude’s 1983 hit, “Tha byatch Blinded Me With Science,” without tha dude’s express permission via license.

“I think Vanilla Ice is a superstar compared to this guy. You can’t just take a very well-known piece of music and add your own vitriolic rap over the top of it and get away with it,” Dolby told MTV News on Wednesday (April 5). “If anybody’s going to sing nasty lyrics over my music, it’s going to be me.”

Now that’s somethin’ I’d like to hear, man. At any rate, KFed used Dolby’s anthem to forge tha dude’s own crappy derivative work fo profit n’ shit. Naw fair use exception can be pulled out of dis booty-rhythm monstrosity, know what I’m sayin’? KFed’s transformations didn’t renda da song into a satiric rap or even a lame attempt at parody, know what I’m sayin’? Instead, dis wuz pure white trash, money-grubbin’ gangsta.

Federline’s management (read: Britney Spears) had naw comment on Dolby’s statements, but da song has mysteriously disppeared from KFed’s MySpace page, know what I’m sayin’?

See, Debbie Schlussel? That’s a copyright violation n’ shit. This be not.

UPDATE: Yo man. Thomas Dolby has a blog, and it’s da shiznit. Yips to Homeslice Stev-o.

Kfed’s an idiot!

Mkay. Notsomuch, huh? Love the Tits On A Chair (”TOAC”) tie-in. I may have stopped contributing to the Blogosphere in any meaningful way (as if I ever did?) but I love a good fisking in the morning.

Well done, ma’am.

What saddens me most about this KFed/Dolby debacle is not the stupidity shown by the Fedster (which is no huge shock), but the complete ignorance shown by everyone else surrounding the idjiot — wouldn’t yah have *thought* someone in his ‘posse’ (from producer to engineer to lawyer) mighta brought up the copyright issue (or is only us old fogies who still remember Queen’s reaming of that other talentless white rapper…)?
