"Earth" has 226M

I saw him in some national primetime ad, can't remember the product.

Can he become a force in the mainstream? He makes it clear in his music that he aspires to do just that.

He can write great bars. He can spit them, too. But do you think he can transcend writing about his jewishness and dick size and privilege, which can be hilarious but is not sustainable, and produce material that could make him an enduring star? He is a brilliant if not genius marketer (see "Save Dat Money" video), so I know he'll devise something brilliant, but I still think there'll be a rather speedy decline once he peaks, if indeed he hasn't already.

i'll pass on the chris brown apologist, thanks

yeah i haven't looked into that. seems out of character for LD, but maybe not. maybe he's just a climber

is this a fucking joke

"earth" was obviously meant to be some big event single but unfortunately for its enablers it tumbled off the charts within two months

sorry, but he's still flaccid

incidentally most appearances of lil dicky in ilxor's archives appear to be in the "rolling worst of 201x" threads for some reason

oh also i HEARD him in a broadcast ad... for condoms, i believe? it was on the radio.

gosh, "save dat money" truly was heinous

is lil dicky's music in the vein of Swollen Members

the Save Dat Money is hella fun!

"Ex-Boyfriend" is hilarious, in a (very) lowbrow way

but this is less C/D than tracking a phenomenon

^Save Dat Money video, I should say

Is he the poor man's Post Malone?

It's getting harder to put my finger on it

an old housemate showed me one of his videos and it might have been the longest five minutes of my life

do you hate fun

no, i just like rap music

I think I hate his brand of "fun"
Only decent thing I seen him do is freestyle on wakeup show or whatever

happened upon this new DAVE show and wound up watching the whole thing last night. and I was liking it, pretty funny, good characters, not bad not bad, milking table lol, wedding episode with the sudden trail diarrhea lol, GaTa's bipolar reveal very feely, the whole Jail video thing at the end very meta very good.

but then after I finish watching the whole thing I google this dude Dave Burd and find out he's been a real rapper for five years really doing this! he's been discussed on ILM! and this just made me kinda hate the whole thing because before I thought it was just fairly clever fairly creative screenwriting using a fully fictional character but no, this guy actually used rap music as a cute little moneymaking toy. and maybe it can be argued that a lot of “real” rappers probably do too (show does address Eminem) but I dunno this seems annoying at best and bad and wrong at worst. like, just because someone is fully aware of what cultural appropriation is doesn’t mean they can’t willfully participate in it. of COURSE he used to work for an ad agency

I dunno, maybe I just don't understand the complicated relationship between jews and rap.

I know most of this board hates Dicky's music and fair enough, but the show is incredible. Season 2 was one of the most stressful seasons of tv ever but the payoff was one of the most incredibly moving episodes of TV I've seen in recent years!

true MVP is Gata though. dude is a diamond.

I only just started on three, but I can only handle two eps of this at a time, very anxiety inducing show given Dave's narcissism
