Lil Dicky has been making some bold claims lately.
Earlier this month, he called himself one of the best rappers alive and now he's talking about his comedy skills.
“I feel like I’m the comedic voice of my generation,” Dicky told The Hollywood Reporter. “You’ll read it and be like, ‘This guy’s out of his mind.’ And, really, I don’t mean it arrogantly."
He continued. "I’m not like, ‘Oh, I’m the f*cking best rapper alive,’ or ‘I’m the funniest guy in the world.' No, I’m more like, ‘I’m a passenger of this talent,’ and it’s funny to me that I happen to be born with these skill sets, and all I can do is be relentlessly responsible with them.”
Dicky has been busy with his FX show Dave for the past few years, and he still owes his label BMG a second album. His only LP is 2015's Professional Rapper.
But the 35-year-old said it's been challenging to write songs these days.
"It’s just been harder for me to convey my perspective via music," Dicky explained. "It’s a lot easier to be like, ‘What am I going to make episodes about?’"
What do you think about Dicky's opinion regarding comedy?
