Comedy Album of the Year!
Do you want to laugh? And I mean the kind of deep-down, uncontrollable, belly laugh that leaves your sides so sore that it hurts to go poop later? **THIS** is the album for you.
Playing With Fire is jam-packed with clearence bin G-funk beats, silly posturing, shameless ego-stroking and the most simplistic rhymes since Dr. Seuss. Wait, check that! The Cat in the Hat was a lyrical masterpiece compared to this album. I don't know which running theme is more comical: bragging about the money he didn't make, talking up all the drugs he doesn't do or regaling us with tales of the hard-knock life that he never lived.
It's funny that Amazon is listing Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera under "Customers who bought this item also bought", but in many ways it's not fair to the ex-Mr. Spears or the Wannabe Ms. Spears. Both of them have at least made peace with what they are. I have the alarming impression that Cletus really believes he's some sort of hard-core baller. Where's Suge Knight when you need him?
