Cover art for I'm on a Boat lyrics by Lonely Island, The

As said before, this is simply a brilliant piss take of Akon in his video for i'm so paid...

...and it applies equally to numerous other dumb bling bling gangsta rap/RnB artists that would rather show off how much worthless bling they can afford rather than make decent music.

The ironic thing being that this Lonely Island track is actually better than the music of all of those artists put together!! - it really is a very well written, well arranged piece of "pop" music.

  • and don't get me wrong, I know to many people "pop music" has a bad name - but it's dumb people buying into the crap from the likes of Akon that give it one. Genuinely GOOD pop music does exist, but it takes talent to create, not gangsta status & bling.

THEY'RE ON A BOAT MOTHERFUCKER, DON'T YOU EVER FORGET!!! ..and they're taking the living piss whilst displaying far more talent than all those dumb materialistic gangsta idiots put together.

BRILLIANT!
