My guided tour of the Internet

Lonely Island - Like a Boss

An impressive freestyle, Wiley could read a phonebook and make it sound cool.

Lonely Island - Incredibad

The Lonely Island’s debut is surprisingly good (not amazing, but good). The obvious hits are on there (Lazy Sunday, etc), but some of the new tracks are worth a listen as well. The production is much better than it deserves to be (J-Zone produced one of the tracks), and the whole thing feels like a sillier Beastie Boys album circa 1986.

Update: Nevermind, with the exception of one or two tracks, this got real old real quick.
