As I sit here in my room wishing I was on a boat, climbing buoys (mother fucker!), flipping burgers in my flippy floppies, I thought to myself: why is The Lonely Island making a huge dent in the music industry… they must be pretty Incredibad!
Well, how do you sum up 3 white boys rapping with such talents as T-Pain, Jack Black (Tenacious D), and everyone’s favourite boy, Justin Timberlake?
Their sound is definitely something that sounds like Eminem crossed with Weird Al Yankovic (it’s definitely Comic Rap and it had me in stitches), but the music that they rap to is definitely an old skool hip hop sound and the occasional heavy bass beat. It’s sort of the Nate Dogg sound that you may have heard in the past.
Every single song on this album is just designed to take the piss. Everyone here would have definitely heard the song On A Boat with T-Pain and will begin to hear more of their other internet sensation Jizz in My Pants. Without a doubt there is more to this album… all you have to do is listen and enjoy.
Memorable songs for me on this CD were: On A Boat… Jizz in My pants… Dick in a box… Dream girl… and Natalie’s Rap featuring Natalie Portman (the girl from V for Vendetta and the Newer Star Wars Movies)… oh god, that actually had me laughing… it was without a doubt the best chick rap I had ever heard…
Seriously go and get this album if you haven’t got it already. It is that album that you will listen to and chuckle to but it also has some really phat beats to get the sound system pumping.
