‘Save Dat Money’
Lil Dicky is a curious figure because he’s not quite a pure comedy rap act like the Lonely Island, and he’s not quite a purely serious rapper like Childish Gambino. He plays the viral video game expertly, with meta-narratives like “Save Dat Money” cutting through the noise. But Rich Homie Quan has the best verse on the track (until Dicky himself cuts it off). Would Dicky’s work be better if he stuck to one lane? Or is the mix of comedy and bars the perfect alchemy for his success?
