This summer armageddon will rain down on our planet in the form of multiple musical vanity projects from the world's most over-exposed, blank-brained tabloid fixtures. But while Paris Hilton's skanktronic release is rumored to possibly be (pause to dry heave) not as God awful as we had hoped, couch-husband extraordinaire Kevin Federline's Playing With Fire, due this August, most assuredly is. The album is already getting KFed in legal trouble, as the second single, "America's Most Hated," samples from 1980s synth-freak Thomas Dolby's "She Blinded Me With Science" without the artist's permission. (No, KFed isn't hiding a genius musical palette. He sampled a Mobb Deep song that sampled Dolby.) On his blog, Dolby demanded the song be taken down from Federline's eyesore of a MySpace page, which for the time being he appears to have done:

"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."

"America's Most Hated," which Federline recently debuted on his MySpace page, actually samples Mobb Deep's "Got It Twisted," which sampled "She Blinded Me With Science."

"I considered turning a blind eye to it other than, as I mentioned on my site, asking him politely to take it down," Dolby said. "But I found out today that it aired on VH1 last week. So it's more than just an MP3 download. It's airing on TV, and there's no question it's taken from the Mobb Deep record. It's like what Vanilla Ice did with 'Ice Ice Baby'... although I think Vanilla Ice is a superstar compared to this guy."

Dolby has a point: Say what you will about Ice, at least he didn't try to marry his way onto the charts. Still, we can't help but feel that this tough lesson in music industry law will ultimately prove beneficial for budding hip hop megastar Federline, discouraging him from releasing unlicensed future karaoke versions of "In Da Club" with lyrics cleverly rewritten to reflect his ongoing turf war against Us Weekly.
