This year, Lil Dicky took an Earth Day-themed song about saving the planet to the top of the charts. Even though the corresponding music video to “Earth” features Justin Bieber, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ariana Grande, and a host of others, the Greater Philadelphia native is still very in touch with his Hip-Hop roots.
Dicky recently appeared on Sway In The Morning. There, the MC with several multi-platinum singles has a freestyle field day. It demonstrates David Burd’s masterful flow as well as his quirky, sometimes cutting sense of humor. Just as JAY-Z famously said about the duality between hustling and rapping, Lil Dicky balances comedy with Hip-Hop as well as anybody.
After DJ Wonder drops a bouncy drum track, Lil Dicky drops a series of rewind-worthy couplets. “I’m in this b*tch like a f*tus / Ain’t no timelines when you’re timeless / Hold up, MJ, ’96 / Meaning I’m back on bullsh*t / You know I come hard like a full d*ck / Suburban and white, stay with some bread like some Cool Whip.” Involving props in his routine, he surprises Tracy G with a vase of flowers kept under the desk.
