Wait… did this album suddenly get serious? Holy shit it did. Such evils include sneaking into movies without paying and using WiFi without permission.įeaturing Brendon Urie of Panic at the Disco But once you get past the dark brooding beat of “White Crime” and listen carefully to Dicky’s whispered verses, you’ll notice he’s talking about his own version of doing dirt. Like most of the tracks off this album, if you don’t pay close attention they just sound like a run of the mill rap song. Dicky proves himself to be the everyday person’s rapper. It’s too funny hearing a track that’s overloaded with Auto-Tune about a guy who can’t get laid. In a fashion that rings true for the Kanyes of the world, Dicky dedicates a whole four-minute track as an outro to the previous song and it bangs pretty hard.
Lil’ Dicky proves his storytelling ability as he spins this tale of trying to get laid.

They are very much like the parents from Meet the Fockers if they had an aspiring rapper for a son. The album starts off with a (possibly scripted) phone conversation between Dicky and his parents.
Now after a successful Kickstarter campaign, the rapper known as Lil’ Dicky has created a fully-fledged debut rap album.įrom interviews with the likes of Sway and Peter Rosenberg, the comedian rapper has stated that he wants to make songs that self-deprecate but also solidify him as a legitimate rapper.
