A biography for Lil Dickyhasn’t been written yet.
“I don't necessarily think that when I graduated college, I had a plan to work at an ad agency. I had a plan in terms of getting the best job I could, like, just whatever normal job.”
“Being funny is my biggest differentiator, and I think I'd be a fool not to use that, and there's nothing I enjoy personally more than making a human being laugh. But then, I also think I have a serious side to me.”
“If I apply myself to rap, I'm gonna be the best rapper alive. If I apply myself to comedy, I'm going to be the funniest guy alive.”
“If we're evaluating cool to the way other rappers appear to be cool, then I'm not cool at all.”
“The thing is, I was never really a comedian - a comedian would scoff at the notion of me as a comedian because I've never done anything, really. I've always just been some guy who's funny.”
“I grew up upper middle class.”
“I don't think any artist has really relied on music videos the way I do. It's almost like my radio.”
“I'm not ever going to stop rapping. I love rap.”
“I can't really rap the way rappers rap; I drive a 2002 Toyota Avalon.”
“One time, I performed 'Save Dat Money' with Justin Bieber. I was at his album release party, and he was like, 'Do you want to do the song?' I was also on a date, so the date met Justin Bieber, and I couldn't have looked cooler.”
“People see a 'South Park' episode, and there's racially insensitive jokes - nobody bats an eye because they're expecting that in that context. In hip-hop, they don't expect that kind of thing because it's a white person in a predominantly black world.”
“It's not that I'm playing a rapper. I definitely feel like I'm a legitimate rapper. I just think that, who I am, there's more to me than just being a rapper.”
“My favorite part of festival season is probably the disposable income at hand for me... I get booked for more, and I make more money.”
“I always wanted to be a comedian.”
“I spent two years making music in San Francisco for my first mixtape. Initially, I was not at all doing this to be a professional rapper, a touring rapper. I didn't think I had that talent level in me.”
“'Ex-Boyfriend' is a really funny story that is that much funnier when you have visuals attached to it as opposed to just hearing it. I couldn't let a song like that go un-videoed.”
“Sometimes I want to be completely outlandish and funny, but sometimes I feel the need to prove myself as a rapper.”
“Rapping works like a sport... the more you do it, the better you get at it.”
“Love is a fickle thing. But I still believe in it.”
“I grew up when Chris Brown was, like, an icon. He was my ringtone when I was in high school.”
