The guys from the Lonely Island comedy troupe have been three of the most important additions to the Saturday Night Live family in a very long time. Andy Samberg is now one of the most recognizable faces on the cast, and Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer have lent their writing expertise to some of the most famous sketches of the past few seasons. For example, the "SNL Digital Shorts", like the wildly popular "Lazy Sunday", were these boys' doing.Well, it sounds like the guys are thinking about putting their talents to LP form. Samberg recently said that they'd like to try to create an entire album of their now-famous style of hip-hop knock-offs. I'm not sure if I'd jump at the chance to buy a collection of songs like "Dick in a Box", but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't think about it.

It was bad enough when Samburg and co were going around NYC acting like Beastie Boy Wannabes.
Now these dorks are now aspiring to be the "Wierd Al's" of Hip Hop??

I would pay good money for clean (no audience) copies of those songs. They are freakin brilliant!

Annie Wu, finally blogging about something I know about.
I am a hardcore Lonely Island fan... but I probably would not buy that. Except, I would. I would just be extremely displeased with myself for doing so.
