The next artist that makes an appearance on the album is Brendon Urie from Panic at the Disco in the song "Molly", which is pretty shocking and unsuspecting. This is an amazing song with comedy gold and portrays exactly what Lil Dicky envisioned in the song, strong comedy that tells about his life in a nutshell, with a strong performance from Snoop Dogg who is funny because he is so serious in the song. The legend Snoop Dogg is the first to show up in the album in the song "Professional Rapper". What will get anyone interested in this album is the people who cameo in a couple of his tracks. After much anticipation and excitement from many people, Lil Dicky released his debut album "Professional Rapper". Lil Dicky released a handful of singles and music videos over the last couple of years to hold the crowd of people off while he made his first album. He was a low-key comedic rapper who started from the bottom and had nothing, but when people caught a whiff of what he was cooking, everyone quickly jumped onboard to see if he is the real deal. Lil Dicky is one of those people who became famous on the internet, YouTube to be specific. Overall it was an insanely creative show, probably one of the most unique concert’s I’ve ever seen.Review Summary: Lil Dicky is prestatious in his debut album "Professional Rapper", which is not only No.1 on the charts, but in the minds of everyone who listens to it. During “Lemme Freak” Lil Dicky grinded up on a girl basically giving her a lap dance while she sat centre stage.The way he talked and performed it made you think that he was your good friend that you’ve known for years. His energy and charismatic charm won over any first time listener. Dave even played one of my favourite songs “Molly”. He played fan favourites like “Save Dat Money”, “Ex Boyfriend”, “Pillow Talk” and “Lemme Freak”.
The first girl he brought up had to draw a picture of him with crayons. He would call up different women in between certain songs to compete for his love. So that day at the Hoxton he put on his own dating game show. When you go to see Lil Dicky in concert it’s way more than just someone on stage performing music. After about 15 minutes of waiting Dave ran up on stage with the one and only Gator! Like a true rapper he just rushed on stage blasting the crowd with the sweet sounds of Lil D.After the song ended he proceeded to insure us that this was not going to be like any other concert we have seen before. As that logo flashed across the screen the crowd went nuts. It was now time for the man who saves his money, the professional rapper himself Lil Dicky! A projection screen displays a silhouette of his face with puffy hair, beard and everything. And he destroyed the stage when he played “Vibration”. Alex Wiley showed us why he’s next up as he brought us all on a trip through his catchy music.
The crowd wasn’t really into it as his sound is almost a polar opposite of Lil Dicky’s music. Any big hip hop fan knows the trippy, psychedelic sounds of the up and coming Chicago rap star Alex Wiley. As we waited for Lil Dicky to take command of the stage, to my surprise Alex Wiley was the last opener. And to make things even crazier this was his first show ever! Even after a few technical issues he still tore down the stage. Sadly I didn’t catch his name but this rapper killed it on stage. Lil Dicky loved his music so asked him to come open up for him in Toronto. He ended up trading emails with him and always stayed in contact. Apparently he met Lil D because he bought a meet and greet pass for one of his shows a year ago. There was a rapper already on stage opening for Lil Dicky. Once getting my media badge I wandered somewhere into the middle of the crowd. It’s crazy to think he’s only been rapping for about 2 years and is already selling out shows in other countries. Earlier that day I stood in line amongst hundreds of fans for a man who use to be in the advertising industry. Lil Dicky made sure that no other concert would ever compare to the one we just witnessed. Hip hop will never be the same were my thoughts as I walked out of the Hoxton a couple weeks.
