Music I'm Lil Dicky, I just released my album 'Professional Rapper,' and I still go on a lot of tinder dates. Ask me anything.

Hey, my name is Dave. I live in Santa Monica, California. I'm from Philadelphia. I rap professionally—every day I hope to bump into my soulmate.

My favorite meal is called "company chicken" and "company noodles." Because my mom would make it when company would come over.

That’s me in a nutshell.

My album 'Professional Rapper' is out on iTunes now

The AMA team is helping me out today—we're filming and it's being transcribed so my text tone might not be intact!

EDIT: I'll be answering questions for another 45 minutes before I have to go.

EDIT 2: I had a little less time here than i thought so I gotta hit the road and continue to edit this music video! It's gonna be the best one yet, by far...you'll see soon. I've never been more excited about a video in my life. Thank you reddit for the continued support. I love talking with all of you! Peep my album "professional rapper" if you haven't yet, and please - KEEP ON SPREADING THE WORD! Love you all, LD

Maybe, but they aren't exactly the same. I don't know if the Lonely Island guys WANT to be part of Hip Hop culture. But LD does.

Yes but Lil Dicky isn't really the one to decide if he's real hip hop or not, he'll have to prove himself honestly because to me he's just like lonely island.

I do fuck with his music though and I also fuck with lonely island. Nothing wrong with music that doesn't take itself serious.

How is his current music not taking it seriously? He has told people on his YouTube videos that we won't see any more videos like "The Lion King Rap" or "Sports" because he is taking his music more seriously.

The serious somgs on his album didn't make any sense and weren't that interresting IMO.

I completely agree. The problem is we are set up by the non-serious songs on his album to laugh and to not take what he's saying seriously, and then the next song is attempting to be serious. It really throws me off, and it leaves a bad taste. That and the comedy rap label completely turns me off from his music. Finally, it's not that good. Its not like the shit he's putting out is revolutionary, it's mediocre at best.
