Like a Boss

Comedy hip-hop group The Lonely Island (consisting of Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer, and Andy Samberg) has taken the world by storm. With several viral videos like "I'm on a Boat" and "Boombox", the group is famous for their expletive-filled songs about normal everyday things (and some not so normal)

The Lonely Island is most notable for parodying several music like Electro, R&B, and even 70's pop. They also have done several compilations with other famous artists like Justin Timberlake (Motherlover) and Nicki Minaj (The Creep).

The group first got its start when the three made short comedy skits and music parodies in junior high school. The hobby soon developed into a career when writing portions of the 2005 MTV Movie Awards. They were soon brought to Saturday Night Live as writers and actors. Doing the same kind of videotaped shorts they made before, the trio soon developed what would be known as the SNL Digital Shorts. They finally hit huge success with their song "Lazy Sunday" and began producing several hits. The group also did a film called "Hot Rod" in addition to the music videos they made. With two albums selling millions of copies, we can bet their next album is going to be even better than before.
