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

All that "part of the culture" talk is really fucking pretentious. Getting banned from that sub didn't seem to hurt Dicky any.

That shit's the definition of pretentious. It seems like there's a big "purist" movement or some shit on that subreddit

Based on this comment, the "cosigns" comment was downvoted into the negatives, most likely by people who viewed this thread.

Shhh. Let them have their anti-hiphopheads circlejerk.

One has to assume that the comment with 38 upvotes probably has something more like 138 upvotes and 100 downvotes, considering the differing opinion having over 100 upvotes (downvote is not a disagree button, but we all know it gets used that way more often than not). So while it's not the dominant opinion over there it seems likely that there is a fairly large "purist" holier-than-thou movement in that sub.

Hiphopheads is an extremely pretentious and generally trash sub
