“Professional Rapper,” the title track, is a concept record featuring Snoop Dogg, where Dave goes to the Big Boss Dogg for a job as a rapper.
When it comes to lyricism, Dicky is deadly serious.ĭicky addresses his doubters directly on the first full song of the album. While he is indeed a prankster at times, he is 100% dedicated to his craft and the proof is in the bars. Since the MC born Dave Burd exploded onto the scene in 2013 with his hilarious video “Ex-Boyfriend,” which documented his insecurities about his girlfriend’s past beau, some assumed Dicky was more about jokes and novelty than rapping. As fans have come to expect, the LP is filled with humor, irony and Dicky’s unique take on the world, but, most importantly, it is replete with masterful rapping from front to back.
