Sloan Rap Video: MIT MBA Students Record "Welcome To Life At Motherf****** Sloan" Song

Four MIT business school students released this YouTube video today, introducing the e-world to life at mother******* Sloan.

In this spoof of The Lonely Island comedy crew's "I'm On A Boat" video featuring T-Pain, the MIT students -- Ash Martin, James Blair, and Dapo Bakare (D-Pain) -- waltz around MIT's campus corporate-namedroppin', Harvard bashin' and makin' it rain. Well, sort of...

The trio rock black business suits and dark sunglasses while boasting of their elite education, reminding us all, "if you ain't at Sloan then you're workin' for [them] man."

No word on whether these MIT students will be taking the MBA ethics oath.

Cut these guys some slack...while not very creative, they're having a good time. My hope for these guys is that they put their focus on creating new business opportunities instead of doing what most graduates does, work for someone else...Create small business opportunities...its the best way to go.

[xrepublican]

Well... it COULD have been worse. They could have been economics majors at U of Chicago......

[KIVPossum]

Nice to know the future is in responsible, mature hands.

[jmillsnap]

This video is hilarious. Love that they're not taking themselves too seriously while getting an MBA in a crappy economy.

[JackRusselTerrier]

Typical. They stole_ someone else's idea for a song. Next - they will steal_ someone else's money for a song.

Not only painfully trite, but actually lacking in requisite irony.

The video, the kids behind it, and the increasingly fraud-ridden and worthless MBA degree (regardless of where it's 'earned' from) are all reflective of what author Chris Hedges writes about in his latest opus, "Empire of Illusion" (Chapters 3 through 5...trust me...). All rather humiliating.

Attention All MBA Sheep: Go back and read some *viable* monetary history, political and moral philosophy and psychology in order to understand true economics and global finance. Leave the Milton Friedman-ite banal school of Monetarism to the dustbin of history where it belongs, as so much of the MBA curricula is just plain irrelevant (I.E. try and apply the Black-Scholes formula, et al., under the current deflationary 'Black Swan' that we're experiencing -- a variable, mind you, that comes with no credibly forecasted end).

Best,
A Recovering MBA

totally weak. It is a bit sad that they really believe in the myth that they are reinforcing, that they have somehow risen to the top of the mountain by getting into a top 10 MBA program. Only 79% of Sloan grads have a job at graduation. Of those who have a job, average total compensation package for Sloan grad is $149,000. These are hardly the statistics of a titan of power. The myth of the power of the elite MBA grad is built on the trajectories of a handful of graduates who have become powerful people, while the vast majority of graduates grind away their careers staring at spreadsheets working as middle managers or desperately jumping from venture to venture trying to grab the brass ring. But the truth is, for those who do succeed, success was rarely a function of a Sloan credential and more likely the consequence of the character and personality of those few...

where did you graduate for offhandedly dismissing a salary of 150K ?

Univ of Phoenix ?

I've still got to find time to finish the Taleb book (and I'm not remotely qualified to weigh on on the MBA conundrum), but I DO know enough to appreciate your response topically, and I couldn't agree more re: the aesthetics.

Bad is bad.

[robbyJ]

They should do drugs they would be cooler.

[GravitonX]

They are right, though. They are the future Gods of Wall Street. You work for them. Have been and always will.

[SaltySaltillo]

You mean they are the future fodder of the Gods of Wall St. MBAs fresh out of B school don't own wall st, they are the workers, the grunts. The few that survive may have a chance of making real money. The few that survive that may even rise to the top and become Gods of Wall St... but trust me... an MBA fresh out of Sloan at Goldman Sachs or at Bain gets dumped on by everyone except the pre-MBA research analysts, who get dumped on in turn by the fresh-out-of-Sloan grads.

[provgrays]

It requires no imagination to copy someone else.

[Tom Joad]

...future "@$$wholes of the Universe"...

[the964kid]

Good to see the nerds loosening up. I'm not sure of why ripping off an originally funny idea from SNL is still funny - but whatever.

[mamak]

lol....funny sht.....

[wagadog]

Oh they're f*****g their mothers at Sloan now?

Instead of just hating them?

[Gumpster]

Funny. Very good rip-off. For all the critics, this video is a joke, a parody, something funny. Sheesh.

[provgrays]

Yeah, but about 10,000 people have done their own parody.

Enough.

[hypnotoad72]

*sigh* Oh for the days when implied crudity was deemed funny.

These days, every profane word has to be re-used just to exude... what was the intended effect, again? I've been desensitized to all that ****...

[Nelson Jacobsen]

There is an actual "MBA ethics oath." could have fooled me on that.

[ibsteve2u]

Doctors swear the Hippocratic Oath, too...but I note that they don't seem to have any problem also swearing that health care for all - especially if it reduces their incomes - will hurt the American people.

I.e., I wouldn't put any faith in the MBA Ethics oath. Especially if the individual in question was raised by one of today's "corporate titans"...a 40 second oath isn't likely to overcome 18 years of being taught that self-enrichment at any cost is just "the profit motive".
