I go chop your dollar
Nkem Owoh, the ytcracker of the 419 Nigerian Email Scams spam game, composed this scammer anthem as part of the soundtrack for the low-budget African movie "The Master", in which he starred. The movie, much like the song, is about screwing white people out of their money. It spawned a whole host of memes which enjoy great popularity in Bantown, most notably mugu.
As you can see, the music video is pretty upbeat and has a lot of bright and faggy colors, which is pretty unusual for a song about wire fraud.
UPDATE
Nkem Owoh was arrested last Thursday in Amsterdam. The Netherlands officials reportedly informed him that they go chop his freedom. He was later released.
