This song still amazes me yrs later
Larry Miles my first time hearing it. shit is dope
Majin V l Lil D kills this beat
you are goddamn right
Larry Miles
this shit still bumps
"Let me think of an analogy"
Spits the best analogy of all time.
Literally
@@Dream-qy9irAnd figuratively
No doubt eh, always coming back to this jam. I remember watching “reactors” who didn’t even catch the analogy/premise of the whole song 🤣🤣
Almost 10 years later, this is still one of the best examples of personal storytelling in rap
i am here too
Nah for real this is sobering. Btw anyone know the name of Drake’s song on this beat? I always forget lol
@@Teddy_Gautier pound cake
Dope for sure. Em, Jay, Big, Rhymefest, Talib, and ....lil d? Just odd to see that name associated with the best story tellers but it's true.
Yep, story telling at it finest. Too bad he can't harness that through an album .
every morning i wake up and he still hasn't dropped new music...the struggles truly never end
You talking about lil dicky
@@Mackensp99 yea
@@Badmaninnit I feel you, you should look up future’s latest album bro shit is absolute flames❤️❤️
@@Mackensp99 ay thanks bro I'll for sure check it out❤🙏🏿
did he stop makin music btw? or is he just focusing more on his show and what not
It ain’t even funny how badass this fool can rap.
Agreed!
He is not a fool boi he a legend
That's the whole point of this song dawg.
He's not a farmer (comedian), he's destined to play ball (Rap)
straight up bro hes so good!
Christopher James Fontana Pinet that’s not what he means tho
6 years later still one of the most underrated songs ever
Edit: 7 years now
Edit: 8 years now
Edit: 9 years now
Fo show
U right bro
Been listening to it ever since
Yo facts my true homie passed away a few weeks n when thos somg came out we smokedd bl*nts over n over. N now just it makes me reminisce ✌
@@robertbryson7733 Rip bro
10 years later and “Who taking care of my farm” still hits home
insane lyrics
Man I really loved that farm
I know Lil Dicky won't see this but I wanted to share:
I worked at a restaurant for nearly 18 years, it was my 2nd home. The owner unexpectedly passed away in 2020. I spent the rest of the year working towards owning the restaurant.
The family decided not to sell it to me.
I hit a deep depression. I lost my family.
This song helped me get out of the hole and start college again.
Thank you Dave.
Thanks for sharing ❤
🙏👌💯🍻
You're a GOAT, keep pushing.
Keep pushing!!!!!
"But greatness ain't about cake", Dicky says the realest shit
what does he mean
Theatre Suicide he means success isn't about how much money you make.
mason jones oh wow I thought that at first but im like he wouldn't say something simple
i wouldve thought it was "greatness isnt defined by age" Referring as to how long they have been in the rap game for.
not sure if says cake or K which is refering to $$ yes :P
Straight up art. For the people just casually listening to this song: Listen to every word in this song or look up a lyrics. The rhymes are absolutely insane.
GenussMeister you i like, might more songs like this? :)
GenussMeister yeah compared to drake it's magic you just won't believe it until you listen to it
9 years later and I still can’t get over this… this track is just pure art!
Seven years late for this one, it was worth finding.
Welcome

Thank you all for the love, it is appreciated.
Welcome
I really loved that farm.
A Goat CAKE CAKE CAKE
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION NOW THAT'S A POUND CAKE.
According to Jay-Z and Drake
"But greatness aint about cake"
A Goat me too
Yo man just wanted to say you have earned a new fan
***** just heard you on shade 45 im a fan now. good stuff man
***** Keep it up, bro. Your music is amazing. Know that I mean that.
Jermaine Jackson ***** Same, was a great interview, good/funny stuff while stuck in traffic. And those callers...lol.
^^ Same as these guys...missed the callers though. I was sitting in a parking lot with my windows down (system was not up). Everybody walking by the car did a double-take because I was laughing so hard during Lemme Freak. Chris Robinson ***** Jermaine Jackson
Could someone link me to that shade 45 interview?
7 years later still one of the best beats and best lyrics. If only this was on Spotify😔
its just some songs you jave to come back to😌
7 yrs later this beat so annoying hearin it on so many short vids especially sport plays n shit
That's why I have all of his music downloaded and put on my Spotify through the local library.
@@remplicity dude you just changed my fuckin life with that knowledge. I had no idea I could do that, thank you 🤝

@@olwamketani4204bro you saw that comment on the dicky freestyle too?
Gotta come back every now and then to remind myself
You will probably never see this LD, but this song made me change courses in college to something I wanted to do. Changed my life. I'm going for the things I want. Thank you.
Why? ?

+Nate Laseke you real fam
You're*
Someone obviously didn't even go to college.
itheassembly You don't need to go
to College to know the difference between your and you're....
Really wish you had more music like this. Don't get me wrong i love the comedy type of rap you do but i REALLY like the more deep and serous style of rapping shown here.
Me too.
IKR-same
Cosmo Cat This song says exactly why he doesn't write alot of serious music. Because if he did what would happen to the comedy, what he was originally doing this for, "his farm"
Cosmo Cat Don't get me wrong, this is one of my favorite songs. But he's a funny dude.
not saying he should drop the comedy rap, just saying I wish he would also do more songs like this
Who else 2024? Old music lives
I'm still here. Telling my kids the importance and skill you just exhibited on this song...needs it's own grammy
This dude just heated up my leftovers from yesterday's dinner 🔥
fredcfung straight up!!!
I love you
fredcfung I gotta buy a new fridge
WWWWWWWW
This man just cooked me in my mom's womb.
I'm not big on Lil Dicky but Jesus. This is honestly one of the best rap songs I've ever heard. It took me about 10-15 listens to understand what the song is about. Just one big metaphor.
It's not really a metaphor though.. The song is very straightforward.
+Callintz Oh my bad. I run my comment by you next time.
I didn't mean to sound rude, chill. Just saying it's not a metaphor.
+Callintz That'a just like your opinion man.
+Roy Ridgewater salty
this is one of his best songs without a doubt, no jokes or gimmicks but just straight words from the heart
imo this not just one of HIS best songs but one of the best songs by anyone. The message and how he conveys it in this song is unlike any other song I've ever heard
I’ve heard so many songs with the same background music. 😂😃
@@russellwyffels6602 let's be honest dicky spits fire 8yrs still one of the best songs released this decade. The use of flow vocabulary and the way he portrays himself in an analogy is genius
I agree, I understand not everyone likes the funny rap type of stuff he does. But anyone who claims he isn’t a good rapper I show them this song. He’s talented as hell.
Me who just found this song in 2024😱
Better late than never 🤷♂️
I only found it at the end of 23, but here I am at least once a day
For those who still don't understand this song and are confused by the title:
Russell Westbrook actually did NOT grow up on a farm. LD uses Russell growing up on a farm as an analogy to describe his life before he got into the rap game and the struggles he went through to get some respect and acknowledgement from other rappers/ his peers. So in the song Russell grows up on a farm and working the "plow" is all he knows because he's never known anything besides life on a farm. And because of this Russell doesn't understand his true "mentality" and the potential he holds. And so Russell Westbrook's destiny is set to living on a farm, working it his entire life, and eventually raising a family on the farm. But one day Russell decides to ride his horse passed his porch and discovers basketball. Russell starts to play basketball and enjoys it. He starts to become really good at it as he practices and refines his skills. Russell is then is invited to play in the big league with the pros after many people saw how dominant he was. But all the pros look at Russell just as a kid who makes the game look like a joke because he was just a farmer. But once they see how dominant of a player Russ is they can't help but admit that he's a great player. So how is this related to Lil Dicky? Lil Dicky grew up in a suburb and probably can't relate to the "streets" that a lot of rappers in the game claim to be from. So being from the suburb Lil Dicky's destiny was also set in stone: go to school, get a degree, graduate, and then get a job. LD graduated from the University of Richmond with Summa Cum Laude(basically a fancy phrase for being a smart ass) and initially worked at an advertising agency but didn't like it. So he started to rap and worked to refine his craft. Now that he's really popular, a lot of the "street rappers" look at him the way the pros in the league would look at Russell the farmer. But Lil Dicky has the confidence and the skills to be considered a great rapper.
Honestly, I missed a lot of other good points LD makes in this song but I just cut it short so it would be easy to understand for those who were confused.
Lil Dicky and Gambino could make a nice ass song
that wud be amazing
yesss
yes
Add G-Eazy and you have the Holy Trinity.
@lildickey make this happen
If you just found this song, no worries, music is timeless.
Exactly bro. Hate when ppl say “that songs old” mannnnnn stfu music is timeless
Didn’t know it existed. Life changed.
@@NsMaori factz
Facts
Found this about 2 months ago, Timeless most definitely
This song is deep as hell, long story short without this song i never would've realized how you could be aiming for a path in life and it could turn on you in an instant and your destined path was something you never expected. Happened to me personally
@@Jimbo292 (I am not the same dude but thought I would answer my story) I had a girl ages ago, marriage material. I was young enough, 26 maybe and she and I were, at that point, dating for like 4 years. Family got jammed up and I needed money fast. Found a job out of state, good one too. After a bit of trying long distance we figured out this wasnt going to work and broke up. Shes married now, kids and what not. Had I stayed with her I would be broke but happy. Instead I left and I am successful but looking back I can't help to think, you know, I really loved that farm
@@jdreign7210 True 💯
@@Jimbo292 tbh it’s not that crazy, but basically me and my fiancé were taking a medical course together just to get out start in the medical field and I knew in my soul this was it. The route we were taking was for us and our future and I saw nothing else for us haha,things we’re looking up! This is around 2018-2019. Her parents gave us their house and they moved away, fast forward a year (2020) we graduate get our medical jobs after all our hard work, and she was pregnant with my daughter! The middle of 2020 though, everything started falling apart and Covid didn’t help either. I’m not sure how I let a small rift destroy everything we worked for but I think all the time cooped up during quarantine fucked me up, and made our relationship stale or “boring” I suppose, and I started having dreams of a crush I had in high school and got to wondering what ever happened to that girl and what would my life be like if I had actually asked her out and such, never acted on it but… I realize thats where the first rift in our relationship came. I tried my best to ignore these random ass temptations but my fiancé could tell I wasn’t in it 100% but nothing we couldn’t fix? Unfortunately a month later my fiancé had a miscarriage, causing us to be sad af obviously. Made us preform bad at work and eventually we were just not happy with the situation and my fiancé suggested we take a week break. I didn’t know this actually meant us breaking up unfortunately.
Reason this song struck a cord with me is because after allll that I literally ended up back where I started before I met my fiancé, back at my parents working a fast food restaurant job only this time emotionally wrecked from everything I’d been through. I’m good now but man I’m still scarred and miss my fiancé tbh she’s with another guy and moved out of state as far as I know currently.
Just crazy how my path was set and then all of it taken away just to end up back at the “farm”
@@otwordsone nah bruh this shit exaggerated or fake af because how you graduated med school and end up working at a fast food place…
@@bangerrr569 lol rip you’re right that was exaggerated and tbh don’t really remember typing that but correction not med school, it was a year medical course just to gain entry level in the medical field
I really hope this track gets more exposure now that the album is out. In my opinion Dicky's greatest song.
I agree his rap is really good in this but I don't think lil d wants to be known for this song since the beat is from drakes song "pound cake"
famous dude would like a word with you.
+benjalazo agreed
+benjalazo i agree 100%
+benjalazo I like Make Belief more. He might go harder in this song, but I just like Make Belief more as in the beat, and lyrics, and vibes.

Mannn this song used to be my shit in middle school, now i'm a sophomore in college. I would literally listen to it on repeat on the walk home from school everyday. Will forever be a song that means a lot to me. It also got me into watching basketball and made me a fan of westbrook :')
All trufs except russ can't shoot
Same for me except during my first year of university, I remember bumping this on repeat during my job delivering pizza. Crazy to look back at what you were doing in life when you found songs like this, and how much life has changed when listening to them again now.

Coscu que mierda haces acá JAJAJJAJA
What a unique rapper man ou fak what ta fak

Q bueno q te hayas topado con dicky, es alto rapero, escucha su freestyle en sway, es dms bueno
Idk what it is a about this song but it sends cold chills down my body. I like it though
Same here especially the end
When I look for new hip hop artists, I look for someone like Dicky.
exactly bro ! best newline hip-hop artist ! #42O

What, white?
Look no further
no, an actual artist.
Late-2022 here, still loving these bars. I've watched every reaction video to this song just so I see the 🤯 when they finally understand and respect the skill and brilliance.

Wasn't this shit part free styled to
Have you watched Knox Hill's reaction to this song? He goated!
@@jonathanalvarez3063 yeah he broke it down wonderfully
Whenever I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, or where the fuck I’m going in my life, I come back and listen to this song. Found it on my way into college, and I’ve graduated now and have definitely become someone I’m proud of.
I’m taking care of my farm. Here’s to you, Lil Dicky.
Outta curiosity, where u at now bro?
This Song Took me to a different world
Aymen Dris true, every verse in this song is amazing
aymen
That was a great show... get it Different World... 90s show... so... about that farm... I really loved that farm... uh...
Aymen Dris imagine it live, definitely one of my all time favorites
Aymen Dris real shit.
wow i cant believe im 3yrs late on this!!!
Same
Same
same
me 2
i know dude this is tight
Jan 1st 2022, about 20th time I've listened to this. Best flow to start year with on repeat. Someone should make it a 2 hour video with it on loop.
Those are rookie numbers..!
This song still makes me teary eyed. The story of the grind couldn't be displayed in a better analogy
One of the best songs ever
Not grind; fuck "the grind."
This song is a story about finding your destiny. The grind is a fairytale for the aggressively mediocre.
Great song. I had to look up and check if Russell Westbrook actually lived on a farm. I actually ended up finding a sad story about Russell Westbrook in real life :( He wanted to go to the NBA with his best friend, but he died at age 16 during a pickup basketball game. I didn't know that. He would be so proud to see Westbrook in the league now
I was curious also to know this character to his analogy. Thank you.
he had a interview on a farm and afterwards he said: i really loved that farm
@@ThaRoMan after his friend died he made sure his friends mum didn’t need to do any extra cleaning. So he cleaned her house for two years and now visits her multiple times every year and wears a wrist band or draws on his wrist his friends name
@@fletchertroke8812 ❤
Am I good? gimme a shot - ruclips.net/video/TUqIw3DcWfc/видео.html
My dumbass actually looked up if Westbrook grew up on a farm
I did that too. Don't worry you are not alone.
This comment just made my day 😂
Salt Boy did he? Lol
No he grew up playing basketball look at peoples explanation of this song it shows it real deep
He's using it as a metaphor to how he got started in the rap game. Lil dicky was raised to do good in school, graduate from a good college and get a job in business (the farm). His plan was to keep doing that and have a wife and kids and live a "normal life". But then he discovered rap (basketball) and tried it out and realized he loved it and was really good at it. He compares himself to Russell Westbrook because Russ is a young star player who people are debating about being one of the best players in the league. He makes the comparison about the older generation of basketball greats (rap greats) who don't show him respect because he just started playing and they've been doing it for a long time and it's all they've ever known (dicky just started rapping and had another focus beforehand). But now dicky is getting recognition and fame (Russell getting the call up to the Thunder).
You're welcome everybody
Lyrics my friends, I gotchu.
[Verse 1]
Uh, ain’t no doubt about it, shit is coming
And I’m just praying that Lil Dicky love it
Always told myself that this the type of shit I wanted
I was being honest, even made a promise
Not with anybody else, this was inner conscience
Talking to my fucking self, that's a little bonkers
I know, I still got a lot of shit to conquer
I hope, that ain't even my concern though
You know I’ll be working till I get what I deserve
Whatever totems I get personally, you know I’ma earn those
This ain't even 'bout some shit up on a checklist
This about the fact that I’m about to test this
I’m about to figure out what my best is
I can't avoid it because now your boy invested
And I ain't gotta a choice except to smile and accept it
Pretty reckless, pretty restless, 'cause
I’ve lived my life expecting love
To come the second my attempt was done, and yeah
I guess to some extent I was correct because I’m getting buzz
But now I’m 'bout to be ubiquitous, look it up
Yeah, or that’s at least what I’m assuming
But, as alluded to, reality is looming
And now your dude about to make a move and take the truth
And hope to God that when he through
That what he thought about is proven
But honestly, I'm not afraid that it’s delusion
I’m hot enough to where I know it’s not illusion
But, obviously, I been finding this confusin'
This ain’t even close to what I thought I would be doing
Don’t get me wrong, I was born to be big
But I always figured it would be the comedy thing
So I started rapping just to see what drama it brings
What big dogs from sitcoms would holler at me
And as the time passed, I rhymed faster, lines crafted
Was high class as I mastered my craft, and
Goddamn, who’d have thought it'd get like this?
Back in 2010, music wouldn’t make that list
I’m talking top five-to-ten strengths with no winks
I would not lie, my pen draw with no ink, or
That’s at least what I thought
'Til I clawed and scratched the pen 'til I saw a line draw
Then I could've let bygones be bygones
But I really wanted to rhyme till my line drawn
Like, where the fuck is my peak at?
Not Brown, but I make it pop, then I beat that
Not crowned yet, but I don’t think I decreed that
Not loud, but you know I’m ready to tweet that
I just really hope I’m ready to be that
Now you seein' where D’s at
'Cause even though I’m softer than a tissue, I ain't nothing to sneeze at
I’m smarter, where the fuck your degrees at?
And I ain't harder but I’m hotter, homie
Where the fuck your degrees at?
I’m 'bout to come in and desaturate the chic rap today And evaporate the feedback I hate, I elaborate
At a later date
But I’m getting off the point with the player hate
What the fuck was I saying?
[Verse 2]
Ah, yeah, I’m kind of a slave
To my ambition, I ain't quittin' till my shit is appraised
And I admit it, I predict that where I finish is crazy
But that just means that it’s further away
So, Burd about to work until he turn in his grave
It’s really burdensome when earning something’s fun for the day
But I’m concerned about the burnin' out from uppin' the stakes
I’m always uppin' the stakes
I’m taking dinner meetings in New York, always up for the steaks
We exploring the discussion of great
They assuring me that when I’m more elite I’ll be secure and amazed
But this isn’t insecurity, man
Like, this the opposite of that, confidence in fact
My biggest problem is I can't honestly relax
Because inside of me a damn odyssey enacts
And I made a promise that I can't be the body that’s stoppin' it
Think I need a lobotomy, Lil Dicky the prophecy
Little bit of anomaly, not a commodity
Not a façade or a lotta the comedy prodigies
Commonly brought up wit Dicky
[Verse 3]
Feelin' weird, let me think of an analogy
Just imagine for a second, what if Russell Westbrook never knew his own mentality?
Grew up on a farm where the biggest commonality
Was people that conform to the ruralest localities
To Russell, though, it was nothin' but normality
And he really nice up on the plow, in actuality
Everybody liked the kid and dug his personality
And so the mutuality was somewhat rationality
So, then your man made a plan of practicality
Not even a plan, it was more of a formality
Get a little land and attend to its vitality
Then raise a little fam 'til it all became finality
The strategy was just to stay in the course
And do your chores, when you're happy you ain't need to abort
Never explored nothing 'less he rollin' round on his horse
Then one day he was up on his horse
That’s when he went past the porch
The path he normally passes forth was fast and short
Was after more, went faster North
Amassed allure to master more
And then discovered the court
He like, "Ya! Let me down, Tim"
Hopped off, lookin' puzzled at the round rim
Saw a ball up in the corner on the ground then
Russell started dribbling and giggling astounded
Then he shot a brick and then a brick and then he downed it
And when he hit it, Russell listened to the fuckin' sound friction
Up in a swish make and he was confounded
Because he knew that he had found him
But right now; it was still for the fun
Just a way to kill the time when the farming was done
Then the walking turned to running
And the hoppin' turned to jumping and dunkin'
And Russell had to keep coming
Because the young’n was fuckin' disgustin' and lovin' it
Running it, all of a sudden the public
Started to come in abundance and fuck with him
'Cause he was butter and hungry, hung jury
'Cause stories of glory not normally for people like him
Then the word got around up to ESPN
And they flying Russell down to compete in the gym
Bunch a grown men lookin' to belittle the kid
Because to those men, ball was the reason to live
And, the G.O.A.T.s, they been all in since they was kids
So this goat-owning mo'fucka look like a dick
And even though Russell knows that, he doesn’t submit
He just chills with a grin
And then the game start and this mothafucka take charge
Make it rain hard, D up on these bitches making children of men
Lookin' better than his predecessors ever could get
Turned the animosity to respect
And then the Thunder called him
Said they heard a lot about the ballin'
Told him that they wanna get involved and
Showed him all the shit that you can get up in the league, it’s so appalling
Oklahoma City in the autumn, hella pretty
Awesome, errbody laud him
Erry-bitty lookin' like they really fucking fallin'
Condominium is so legitimate it’s sprawlin'
And this mothafucka on the court straight ballin'
Cash all up in that ass, lol’ing at the past, like
"Where the fuck would I be at up on the other path, right?
If I never stumbled 'pon the game then think of that life"
Shit, who taking care of my farm?
Who taking care of my farm?
Who taking care of my farm?
I really loved that farm
[Outro]
Uh, Cake
Cake, cake, cake, cake
Five-hundred million, now that’s a pound cake
According to JAY-Z and Drake
But greatness ain’t about cake
I wish he’d make more serious music like this. I know it’s not really who he is but damn… it’s greatness when he actually does it
Season 1 and 2 of Dave. He's getting better and better at the serious-comedy line.
Drake the type nigga to lean his back against the door after he gets home from a nice date.
Brandon La Flame hahaha wtf you've been watching too many romantic comedies
while holding his jacket over his shoulder
With both hands on his cheeks and eyes closed
when anyone doubts lil dicky's rhymes I show them this video. one of the most lyrically gifted artists in the game rn
tru shit
Logic is still dope he is actually in my top 5
Check out Issa Gold & AK
Alright
Gold Soul Indigos!
This song.... What a great example of why LD should be considered in the conversation of the greatests. I know there is no such thing as the best rapper but god damn LD checks so many boxes, story telling, flow, rhyme pattern, creativity, and somehow he proves he can blend a seriously inspirational story with in your face humor. I would reincarnate as Daves best friend if I could.
Quite possibly the most deep and uplifting and socially truthful song ever written. Show me one person who can't feel this shit. Show me one that isn't hypnotized by the beat and understands the lyrics and don't choke on it from the hope. This is rap at its best. Wish Dicky was still this guy.
It's a Drake beat lol...
Imagine how dope it would be if he could somehow get Russell Westbrook to shoot a music video for this. like he starts out on a farm and ends up in a penthouse condo in okc then all of a sudden it hits him and he remembers his old life and realizes the opportunity cost of playing in the NBA... that would be so tight
IGotCurbstomped word
IGotCurbstomped Making music videos for a lyricist like LD would be easy money he paints the picture for us.
IGotCurbstomped lol Wesbrook is from Long Beach, dude didn't start at a farm
Adam Johnson its an analogy fam
IGotCurbstomped hahahaha "Who takin care of my farm"
Okay I'm gonna make my own comment because clearly people are struggling with the lyrics in this track.
Russell Westbrook did not grow up on a farm, become a farmer, have a horse named Tim or any of what he is saying. He literally starts that part with "let me think of an analogy, just imagine for a second what if Russell Westbrook never knew his own mentality".
The song is 100% about Dicky. He is saying Westbrook is clearly a beast at basketball, but what if he never knew that cause he grew up in a world where he had a path already made for him. As a jewish kid, Dicky went to college for business, and went to an ad agency, cause thats what you are supposed to do.
Not sure why anyone thinks the Russell part is about Russell. Basketball is rapping, and goats are the rappers in the game already. Lil Dicky is the one balling, and wondering what would his life be like if he stayed in advertising and never found rap.
Russell Westbrook grew up in California and played ball all his life, went to UCLA.
Conor McGregor lil dicky grew up in the suburbs listen to professional Rapper
you must not have understand what i just said he literally said let me make an ANALOGY
youre right connor mcgregor hes saying the way to kill the time until the farming was done hes talking bout coming home and rapping i can read into rap lyrics well
+Conor McGregor Don't worry bro, you can't argue with stupid.
It's sad you had to explain that, but I appreciate you took the time to do so.
Song still hits 10 years later an all-timer for me and my friends
When I come back and listen to Dave’s older music I feel like it’s curing something in me. I heard Dave when I was 15, I’m 22 now. Time flies man 😔
yeah man i was in 10th grade when i started listening to him. when i saw that this video came out 9 years ago my mind said "damn im getting old as fuck" lol im 26 now
Me to man had this bumping walking around the halls in highschool now I’m 23 :/
Fuckig samee lmaoooo in no time were gonna be 30
It is really kinda weird thinking about how adults always reiterated that "they don't like the new music" and we write it off as their generation. Crazy how it comes back full circle. This summer 2015 era (or early to mid 2010s) of music is all we have of our sound. I just wish that I knew more people like this.
We need lil dicky X chance the rapper
And Sosa
Drake and Future don't either but look what happened
Why? Because they're both poppin? I mean even though two talented rappers make a single together doesn't mean it'll be fire... So why do we NEED lil dicky X Chano?
+MrCursorFTW why not? wether it'll be good or bad at least it happened. i think it would be nice to see what they could produce on the same track.
FOR REAL!
My favorite from Dicky, he killed this beat. Better than Drake's version. Dicky should always be as serious as he was here. I wanna look at him like a serious rapper with some funny songs & not a satire rapper with some serious songs. Really hope he doesn't go where he's going with Freaky Friday. (I love that song but I need more of this)
I don't like freaky Friday but I respect it as a fantastic song. The video was great, the way they both rapped was nice but I'm just not a fan on radio music and it's a radio song to the max
Tbh while I think Dicky is capable of being mainly a quality rapper, everyone loves buying trash and trash is easier to write and Lil Dicky doesn't mind making silly ass songs you can write out of boredom. So with all that said it seems hard to imagine there'd be more serious material than silly. Lil Dicky is not like Eminem or most of these other conscious rappers from a hard life with a lot of things to get off the chest, but he's still a smart dude who could come up with a good song if he ever wanted to and tried.
Fazer from N-Dubz did a cool cover of this instrumental too! Check it!
Tebby Times Berner did a song with this beat and he killed it too
Welp, you got Earth now
Can't believe this is 10 years old,this is by far my favourite lil dicky tune
Easily one of, if not his best, songs. Such vivid storytelling.
yes, i think it is his best song
no doubt about it. (Bonus: throwing you a notification so you come and listen to this one more time.)
After every song of Dickys im left in awe...
Agreed.
+We Are Anonymous Ex-Boyfriend?
How am I listening to this just now wow...
thats what i said last week lol
Because you probably saw his freestyle on yt and just now searched for his music?
me too
sand
+Lubtub TheGreat same
One day away from 10 years, still a top 10 song.
Bro would be in the GOAT list if he did music seriously. Still might be.
How does this only have 730k views? Easily one of the sickest flows out there.
faaaaaaaaaaacts
Chris Garcia not
Adam Tucker over a million now. :-)
this man predicted kd would leave russ back in 2013 and this song is now proof that lil dicky is gon b a god just like russ bein a god now taht kds gone
JaVale McGee Russell Westbrook for #MVP
holy shit is JaVale McGee the Shaqtin a fool 2 time champion. Big fan.
JaVale McGee Hes one of the few that recognized Russel's one of a kind greatness...now Kobe and MJ show their respect, too
oooooooooor, maybe this was all planned...
Russ has been a god tho 🤔
After all these years and I still come back to this just to hear him snap for almost 7 minutes!
Still the best song he's made.
Drop some music man damn
Fax
Deadass
i think we all need some new lil dicky music rn
for realll
Make some yourself🙃
A definition of a rapper:
*This*
Lol
+Mitch Bade this.
+Mitch Bade R.A the rugged. nice reference
+CaveKanem but y you here thoo... **aheeem sarcastic cough**
Definition of you:.........
Only reason I pay for RUclips premium so i can set my alarm to play this every morning
8 years later and I just now find this masterpiece, Im distraught I've been missing so much
Lil Dicky has talent flying out of his ass... This is literally the best song to showcase him, imo.
Julian Sabarre Logics got talent flying out his ass, both are totally talented but way different
True baller.
this or make belief
***** The fuck does Logic have to do with anything he said?
Logic isn't that talented, like he's good but he keeps repeating a lot of shit, like hella crazy and lines like that, it gets so annoying especially in his freestyles
Finally this song gets views. Best song by him I think.
Boomy understatement
yo i been here since like march/ apirl
i first heard the song too high back in oct 2015
yeah i know not that long but still this guy is highley highley underated one of the best of all time top 50
Boomy this and lion king are tied for me both are absolute fire
Boomy literally been listening to this song for years
Its very motivational tbh.
"He knew that he had found him"
I hope we all get to experience that feeling someday.
That lyric resonates with me so much. I have been a race fan all my life and didn’t get to actually go race until 2019, now I’m a national champion.
@@thomashamilton9134 congratulations man💪🏾
10yrs later. Who’s taking care of my farm?
I can picture Em listening to this just smiling
Fr they need a track together 💯💯
Say Bro Eminem?
Tupac should've been on this
Why would Em care?
Lol that was funny
Doctor: You have 6 minutes 44 seconds to live
Me: Perfect
Well, before u start listening to this, you spend about 10-20 seconds, so u wouldn't listen this to the end :/
hahahah
*gets an add that's 45 seconds that you cant skip*
Beast T
Doctor: You have 4 Minutes 45 seconds to live
Me: Please got just lemme freak!
Beast T I got 6:44
I really don't understand how he can think his newer music is better than this stuff.....god Lil Dicky used to be at the top.
I can honestly say this is a song I can listen to and it gets better and better each time. I love you Dave.
Such a serious chill track, best out of Lil Dicky so far
Ya
Tru dat fo sho
Not the best, but great forsure, the antagonist is better
"lyrically he's pretty damn clever"
I got ur "Professional Rapper" reference there
That’s about an understatement but yeah he’s Dope
@@getbbudded23 its a referance to another lil dicky song
What a "professional" comment
who’s listening in 2024??!!
GD that was 🔥 The way you're able to tell a story over a beat, and with the type of flow that keeps pulling me in no matter which way you take it, is truly some next level shit that only a few have been able to do for me. Don't know how I didn't get put on till now.
Fire ain’t it lol can’t stop listening and who’s taken care of my farm I die laughing haha
Have you notice good white rappers never use nigga.
Have you notice that good black rappers rarely use a word - 'nigga' (Hopsin)
yea thats true too
+Lesa Boss j cole is a great rapper and uses it a lot sooo
yeah, but when makes senses...but not like young thug, and migos...
lol yea blatantly just say it out of no where
wish he had songs like this on professional rapper
I couldn't agree more, needledrop gave him a light 2 but i think if he had this type of stuff it would've been a more impressive album
Keegan Mccallum Needledrop doesn't know anything about rap. He sleeps on Kendrick like it's nothing, and while Kendrick is one of the best rappers I ever heard, he didn't give Under Pressure by Logic or Professional Rapper a good number, which is ridiculous. I haven't listened all the way through Professional Rapper but Under Pressure deserved a solid 8 or light 9
+Connor von Rosen so cause he didnt give your favorite rapper a 9 or 10 he doesn't know anything about rap?? dude dont be one of those fanboy this guy album I give it a 6
helloose221
I see what you're saying, but it's not just this. He gave bad ratings to Goblin and Wolf by Tyler, Under Pressure by Logic, and Worlds by Porter Robinson. It seems like all he does is fanboy over Kendrick, which gets sort of ridiculous.
+Connor von Rosen He sleeps on Kendrick? He just gave TPAB a 10. Lol
Decade later still a classic
Whenever he drops another album I hope its more music like this.
Why everybody who rap over this beat do it better than Drake?
Jay Okay Because Drake's trash.
Take this W
Jay Okay because Drake barely rapped in his song...he did like 1 verse
yeah, drake fucked it up with his moist singing on the second beat. Should have just kill the first beat with rap...
Take this L, Drake killed this beat better than anyone.
bruh how the hell did I miss this shit till now???????????????
Viole The Violin I wonder too! Heard it just today..
Viole The Violin I literally just discovered this last week
Same here.
Dats what I'm sayin'... Lol. Better late than never! ;]
You musta been hiding under a Dwayne Johnson.
it's 2024 and I still come back to this yearly since this dropped
March 2024, still vibes 💯👌 cheers Dave 🍻🙏
Pisses me off so much that mfs like him are so damn underrated
Stainless I mean he is underrated but he is quite known in the rapping community
eXiG being known doesn’t mean anything, he’s very underrated, I’m telling you with his skills he could really be one of our generations best rappers
Mo Lester he already is one of the best skill wise, people just haven’t quite figured it out yet
Survey says:
*Still hard*
Zach L right
Already listening to this for the 12th time this year. He just goes off. 👌
Pretty much
Yeah I'm hard af dood
This guy was on the future in those days
Such an amazing song, from day one to now.
Drop more music please xxx
A decade ago Lil D blessed our ears with this masterpiece. Crazy.
“Because he had found HIM”
Gives me goosebumps every time.
Am I good? gimme a shot - ruclips.net/video/TUqIw3DcWfc/видео.html
It's cool to see you ain't got to be from the streets to rap. That's why I love music so much. If you love to make music make sure it has meaning
Half Of The Rappers Out Here Are Not From The Streets They Fake Tbh
+Isaiah Barnes I agree such as g eazy. All he raps about is, money, weed hoes and drugs.
Spencer listen to everything will be okay by G-Eazy
+Spencer Zane Or Sad boy
+Isaiah Barnes They stupid to be fake like that though. I'm not about to have no respect for someone just because they ain't have a hardship in the hood.
He is doing what he wanted to do (his show) Thank you lil dicky for the music. I bless for your further success.
Can we all please acknowledge that as happy for Dave as we are that he has a sitcom now that this is the Dave we miss and need.
Underrated I’m still listening to this it’s 2019 going on 2020
*21 millon views* underrated bro we bumping this undeground shit brother so quirky
A man of culture aswell i see
We all know what year it is, so can you please shut the fuck up?
this song been the shit for a long while 🙏🏼
@@immortalsun dont be like that
Showed my friends your music. They loved it and I knew they would.
Dude, you're on the rise, keep on going strong.
I hardly ever leave comments relating to users, but your talent is something I have never seen before. The way you rhyme, your words, your flow, everything.
Keep it coming Lil Dicky, you're going to go very far.
Proud to be a Dickhead.
***** When you start touring you better come to Houston!
***** Thanks for replying dude, it's cool that you interact with fans.
I'll hit you up on Twitter
It's wild that this was 9 years ago. This still goes hard to this day. ❤🔥❤🔥
I wonder what the convo was like when they met.
Just revisiting this legendary shit. I was 14 when this dropped and have never forgotten it
