Rap's Newest Star: Lil Dicky

The New Niche Of Rap

If you haven't seen it already, check out Lil Dicky's new song and music video, Freaky Friday.

Although Lil Dicky, aka Dave Burd, is not yet a household name, with his new music video and album coming out, LD will soon be considered one of the best.

Hailing from the suburbs of Philadelphia, Lil Dicky bases his music around his everyday life and many of his songs are created like a normal conversation between two people. Additionally, Burd interjects his songs with Seinfeld-esque social situations that make for hilarious lyrics.

In his music videos, Lil Dicky creatively recreates the scenes he raps about. In his latest video, Burd collaborated with Chris Brown and several other celebrities to show what it would be like if they switched bodies for the day. The lyrics are not only clever and funny, but also the music video is entertaining and fun to watch.

Lil Dicky is creating his own niche in rap music that has never been seen before. By incorporating comical lyrics into his music, Lil Dicky's songs are relatable to everyday life. One of Dicky's recurring jokes is about his upbringing as a Jewish Caucasian kid while most other rappers do not lead similar lives.

Now, with millions of views on his music videos and songs with features such as Snoop Dogg and Fetty Wap, Lil Dicky's new album will be in the spotlight. Should Lil Dicky's album get positive reviews bolstered by the success of Freaky Friday, I would not be surprised to see Lil Dicky's unconventional rap style be considered in the upper echelon very soon.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
