Behind the scenes at Federline’s ad shoot

Here’s the man himself, doing a little rapping for his Nationwide Insurance Super Bowl commercial, in which he goes from rap star to fry cook (proving that “Life comes at you fast”). You can’t argue with talent like this.

If I'm not mistaken, this young lad has what they refer to in the "hood" as "mad skills."

I am most certain that many insurance-seeking individuals will be dialing Nationwide as soon as this demonstration of urban poetry is seen during the Super Bowl.

I now send what they call "props" to "my boy" Mr. Federline for his tasteful rhymes and wonderful charisma. I see a star on the rise.

"Nationwide is on your side." The only thing that is said... multiple times.

And they said he couldn't rap.

Props to Nationwide if they're the ones who posted this on YouTube.
Hundreds (thousands?) of saps like us will watch it, thinking we're going to see K-Fed make a fool of himself and all we'll hear is him repeat "Nationwide Is On Your Side" for a full 60 seconds.

So who's the fool?
