Before, Lil Dicky was kind of pleading his case to Snoop, here Dicky is rapping as if he knows he’s the shit, and he owns the rap game. Who Knew kind of flips the perspective of Professional Rapper (the song not the album).
The 18 songs that follow on the album, are supposed to be the product that comes out of this metaphorical opportunity from Snoop. Snoop is relatively unimpressed, but gives Lil Dicky a chance. Lil Dicky introduces himself, and what he wants to do with the rap game to Snoop. This song is essentially a skit where Lil Dicky has a meeting with rap legend Snoop Dogg. The second song of the album, featuring Snoop Dogg is the track that Lil Dicky named the album after. Professional Rapper has a track list spanning 20 songs so I will not be discussing each each one individually, but rather just some of my favorites, and any that I feel are important to the album or Lil Dicky himself. He’s doing something arguably brand new, and pretty damn unique. Think of Lil Dicky as a cross between a rapper, and a stand up comedian. He is a white Jewish guy who left a 6 figure job at an advertising job to rap.
He attended school In Richmond Virginia, and has spent time living in San Francisco, and LA, in California. Lil Dicky, aka David Burd, is from Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Lil Dicky is kind of the opposite of what most people envision the typical rapper to be. To properly introduce Professional Rapper, I must first introduce Lil Dicky.
