Kevin Federline: Rapper, family man, master gamer

by Justin McElroy on Nov 27th 2007 2:15PM

You already know that Kevin Federline is a gifted singer-songwriter, dutiful father and something of a bon vivant. But did you know that his 15 minutes of fame actually started in 1988 with an issue of Nintendo Fun Club News? Apparently, in between sessions of dreaming about never having to work again, nine-year-old K-Fed took time out to put the hurt on Great Puma in Pro Wrestling on the NES.

Kevin didn't stop there though. He took the time to take a picture of his accomplishment and send it away to the magazine. Through some kind of internet miracle, the proprietors of PandaSmash.com have stumbled upon it and reminded us all that even the biggest hack can have incredible talent.

Noob.

I somewhat agree with the above comment.

Popozao! Good that he has time in his busy court schedule and baby making...for games.

Stop wasting precious Joystiq screenspace on this loser.

Yes, he is loser, and useless, and a mediocre artist... and I'm a little jealous (not because of fugly Britney) because now he is rich and can play all the videogames that he wants.

I don't know why the mediocre people have everything =(

As much as I hate Federline, I agree with voloftn. Why is this news, other than the fact that McElroy has some sort of hidden admiration/extreme personal hatred towards this man.

Oooo wow, he sent in something to Nintendo back in '88. What a lame ass. Is Popozao not enough for him to endure???

"I don't know why the mediocre people have everything =("

by that logic you should own the universe

Federline is a great artist. Its unfortunate his ex takes all of his spotlight from him. I think you people should be nice to teh fed especially since im a fellow gamer.

I dunno he does have one talent. How to scope out, and successfully entice a rich women to give you alimony.

Damn he is from Oregon? I feel so dirty now.

i just drove thru salem a couple days ago on my way back from corvallis

go ducks!

How is Oregon? It's nice?

hell yeah

I don't know a lot of USA cities... just the big cities like LA, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, etc...

Everytime I have the chance to make a little trip, I ask to people, and the only thing that they say is the stupid stereotypes if the states.

This explains so much now. I bet he grew up in the flats around State street. Back in '04 I watched a police shoot out with some crazy guy throwing guitar amps out the window.

@Gonk - the Civil War would be a different story if Dixon was still alive...unless you really meant, "Go Ducks."

And yes, Oregon is nice, rather nice indeed. It just depends on where you live. I used to live in Gilchrist, which is a town of 700 people. -15 with snow in the winter, 105 with dust in the summer. I often times imagine it's a lot like what Hell is like. After lving in Salem and Eugene I'd say that I like Eugene best. Oh, and we have an awesome coast.

I had the same thought. Poor Oregon.

i do root for the ducks, i used to go to summer camp at their campus (really shitty dorms there)

but my grandma lives in corvallis and roots for the beavers, go figure

really a shame about Dixon :(

ever been to gold beach? my dad's from there

I'm not sure if I've been to Gold Beach. I know that one of my uncles has a mother who lives there. I've been to Brookings and the almost the entire stretch from Bandon to Astoria. I really like Cannon Beach, and despite it's beautiful coast, I dislike Yachats.

Cool to know your a Duck fan. Sad to know your Grandma might be happy real soon.

@gonk

Please don't put "grandma" and "beaver" in the same sentence.

Psssh...his mom beat Puma and he just took the credit

I think the real winner here is

Erick hoe fucker

Stop it! Now you stop it! A winner is you Kevin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol good stuff

He probably did with his penis. Prepared him to become the baby maker he is. F&@%ing loser. Those skills won't help him pay child support.

Hows he going to pay child support when he has the custody.

ON the flip side, being a drunk drugged ho isn't going to help Brittany pay the child support. And neither is dancing around wearing the kind of outfits she wore when she was 18 and not a mom.

He has other kids that he doesn't have custody of and likely more he doesn't even know about.

It aint Florida, thats fer sure!!

This is news! Only... 35 years late. Seriously, who gives a shit? Slow news day or not, this article was as worthless as this comment.

For starters, Kevin is not from Salem, Oregon. I was born and raised in Salem, Oregon. I lived there from 1975 to 2003. If you also read his wikipedia page, he was born and raised in Florida. This sort of trash should not be seen on joystiq as it is nowhere true.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but you make a mistake if you depend upon wikipedia for all of you information. I could go there now, and put he was from pluto. I mean even if he was raised in Florida, people move.

@Antilucid

How does living in Salem from '75 to '03 prove that K-Fed didn't live there? That's a ridiculous statement. Even if it was a small town, it's impossible that you kept track of the names of every and any kid that passed through there for whatever amount of time.

Not being from Salem, you might not understand the mentality of the place. If anyone or anything famous (or infamous) was remotely related to the town, it would become well known within the town. I mean hell, whenever possible, the local newspaper would try to name drop crap like "One time resident " and then continue on to the rest of the article. Salem lives in Portland's shadow and tries to find recognition wherever it can find it, good or bad. So when I say he is not from here or ever lived here, I honestly believe this to be very true.

Woah, that's the first issue of NFC magazine I ever got, I think I still have it somewhere in the attic. Must go check!

You know. They have a thing now, called the garbage. You might want to look into it. ;)

If you aren't sure... it's the big bin with all of Federline's discs in it.

Maybe he can use Britney's alimony to buy a Nintendo Wii.

"Kevin Federline yeah mm mm"
- Mike Walker

I meant 'he's a fellow gamer'.

Pro Wrestling was so easy. I beat puma repeatedly with several of the guys. Usually, each wrestler would have a fast activation move that, if timed right, you could basically use against the AI repeatedly until they were spent, then pin them for an easy win.

That's worth more street cred then his rapping career.

I remember Pro Wrestling. Could pull off a mean back brain kick with Hayabusa.

Go fight!

I don't care what anyone says, Federline is a fucking genius. And I'm not being sarcastic. Not only did he fuck Britney when she was kinda, sorta hot, but he's had tv guest spots, ads, albums, and money. And he's managed to do this with absolutely no talent what so ever. How can you not respect a guy like that?

It's the American Dream, isn't it?

You can not respect him for the same reasons you can't respect Paris Hilton.

There is now officially too much information on the internet.

I know a lot of people hate him, myself included but I can't but help but think of a young bright eyed young boy excitingly getting his named published in NINTENDO magazine. Its kinda sad.

Although, who knows? Maybe he was a douche his whole life.

NO! HE CANNOT BE FROM MY CITY! SHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUPSHUTUP IM NOT LISTENING LALALALALALALALALALA!!!

Salem used to be beautiful to me! now I know the horrible skeletons in her closet!

I don't understand, who is he?

judging by the comments here, i'd say he had sex with britney spears and does a bit of shitty whiteboy rap on the side

Ah right, I don't care for any of that so it's over my head. Britney Spears is still going? All I remember is that "hitting babies" song.

Clouded early teen years.

I know I read about this weeks, maybe months, ago... hmm.

Hey, Kevin! Congratulation!
