LD successfully finessed his audience to do what he *actually* wanted to do.

Wow, epic ending. You're totally right. In season 3 of his TV show he's essentially made it as far as he's made it in rap in real life. The future of his rap career has yet to write itself. What would be interesting is if he gets further than he ever was in real life, in his TV show, and then when the show ends he brings his real rap career to where it is in the show, like throwing in an uno reverse card

and here we are about 12 hours after he released his new album

I never saw LD as the type who wanted a serious career as a rapper. I saw him using his skills and comedy to reach the end goal, and that’s exactly what he’s done. The man knew what he was doing and did a great job pulling it off!

The acting in Dave is insane. It doesn't even seem like acting. It feels like you're watching real people with real emotions. It is extremely entertaining

If I ever hit the level that someone would want to tell my story, I'd want it to be told by Patrick Cc

Love your work, man, the fact that this video is age restricted just goes to show that RU-vid hates genuine content creators that make videos that don’t just try to dumb down the masses. I drank water while making this comment

Dudes able to make a biography at 35, over 5 years of living. I don't even expect anything more of him. Mission complete man.

he knows that he wasnt going to last in the rap industry with the changes of the over all sound. Plus he knows that he has the personality and energy to pivot into Comedy & acting. He isnt trying to go back into Rap... from here he just wants to up his acting status

it's wild that a song with 394M views (4 years ago) on youtube is seen as not living up to expectations.

Dave Burd is a genius. He knew he wanted to be a comedian and actor, and he found a way to use music to get known and transition to do what he really wanted. He's an all around entertainer.

I have never heard of a lot of the people you do videos about, but bc of your superior storytelling abilities, I watch all of them. Great job!

I enjoyed his silly but amazing music videos on youtube far more than his actual album... LD is doing what he wants to do and more power to him. He's killing it.

I think he’s going to hit the big screen next and get some roles in films! I love Dave he’s got great energy

Bro I always look forward to your video drops. They are always well done and informative. Keep doin what your doin and stay hydrated my friend 💧

Love learning about rappers I've never heard of before with your documentaries, Patrick! So please, keep up the great content so I can learn more about rappers I have no recollection of.

He garnered an audience using a talent he knew was more easily marketable to a massive group of people, rapping. All along he wanted to be in comedy, almost makes it even more crazy how lyrically impressive he was when he wanted to be. Really hope we get a new album at some point

I love his show. It’s a must watch every week. I just wish he’d put out a new album already! I have both of his mixtapes from his Kickstarter campaign & his only full album on LP Vinyl Professional Rapper. His freestyles that are all over RU-vid are so damn good.

Mans content is so good, I see its now a default format under music review channels😂😂 I always look forward to the weekly episode from you Pat.

That’s brilliant. He did a reverse Monkeys. The Monkeys was a tv show about a fictional band. They became a real band because the tv show was so successful.

He was rizzin that interviewer up. I’ve never seen someone conduct an interview that close to each other 😂😂😂

I remember finding Lil Dicky when “Too High” dropped. I was such a big fan back when and I was hyped to “So Hard” dropped and it was free to download from his site. Awesome to see him being successful with Dave.

Your videos just get better and better bro. Uk subscriber your research is unreal. The detail. I crave your next one already 😂😂

Not sure how I haven’t come across your channel before this, but having now watched this video it was great and I’ll be binging more.

I just want a soundtrack for his fucking show. Just complete these songs and I´m happy.

Dave is probably one of my favorite shows right now. and i’ve never been a huge fan of his music, so i feel like he’s really smart for pulling a demographic that wouldn’t usually interact with his music!

I enjoy ur short docu. Good stuff. Keep up the good work.

enough of your vids have snuck into my radar....subbed!

Lil Dicky is a good example of how you don't need a record label to be successful you can be independent and still find success

The song he did with fetty was genius. Finding a way to shoot a music video like that without spending barely any money lol

Y'know I watched like the first 4 episodes of dave and then dropped it. But this made me come back around to it and I can say I've really enjoyed it. Thanks Patrick.

here after he just dropped the new album lmao

Im really glad the show is big numbers. Ensures more seasons.

His Sway freestyle is one of my favorites of all time. So many hilarious/great bars in it. HOW DO YOU FIT THE WORD HYPOTENUSE INTO A FREESTYLE?!?!?!?! idk but he did😂😂😂😂😂

This is exactly the video I’ve been looking for, thank you

Great vid! Been a fan of Dicky for years and this is all very accurate. Noticed that you didn't have a single clip of taco or mention him as part of the show. Keep up the great content man. I watch all your vids.

I enjoy his film career more than his music career. He can always make music for his films, and he seems to know what people enjoy seeing. His music is great don't get me wrong, but he seems to be able to express more through film. It shows in his music videos even.

Dave burd truly is a genius. What he’s doing with Dave is amazing.

Your work here is major for the culture bro. Very important film and great research.

The thing that I find borderline fascinating about him is his background is in business. I truly want to know just how planned out EVERY single one of his moves were. It almost seems like each gesture had no way of not exactly working because it was all thought out for years. Even with “Earth” those numbers are insane for anyone but especially an independent artist (even when he technically was under a contract, it was an independent label).

he got popular and pivotted to what hes more passionate about. smart move.

The thing I always thought was weird about lil dicky is how he literally admitted to using the culture to become a comedian and simultaneously complains when people don’t take him seriously as a rapper. Like bro YOU don’t take you seriously as a rapper. Many white rappers just use rap as a stepping stone to get what they want.

anotha banger vid, keep it up!

Nah bro LD giving the girl flowers and asking not to have charges being pressed is 10/10 🤣🤣

This is true I’ve been listening to him before he popped. I’m happy he found something and didn’t just fall off

Thank you patrick for this video! I hope someday he goes back to rapping ether way his tv show is great.

I love the detail in this break down

Another banger!! Always dropping Banger after banger after banger😂

Dude did the normal white guy thing. Make rap music because it's popular and fairly easy to do. Then when he had the money and connections he stopped rapping and did what he wanted to do all along. Another example is Jelly Roll, Yelawolf, MGK, Macklemore etc etc etc

Awesome video! Can't wait to see what he does next fr. Lil Dicky is a legend fr.

ok for real, I just noticed you have over a million subs. I commented before thinking you were a small youtuber and commending you on doing great work. So yeah, damn you have a good thing going on this channel. Thanks for the content

Patrick just wanted to say thanks for the premium quality video content and also your genuine relatable perspective is a vibe we appreciate you BOSSSSSS 🙏🏻🙏🏻🐐🐐

I absolutely love the show on Hulu. Every Thursday I am glued to the screen while watching!

Your mustache is amazing!! Keep it up yo

great writing fr good job on the video

Epic video watched it 3 times already and it changed my world views.

LD is hilarious, and Dave is one of my favorite shows right now. Excited to see where the rest of the season goes. Perfect timing Patrick!

Your content is just always fire. I see your new video notification, I click. Keep up the consistency.

broski lil Dicky is making the come back he deserves

I'd like to see Lil Dicky drop an album once the show Dave ends. I enjoy the show and the hints of songs that play sound fire and would like a full track. I'm sure what ever he decides to do, he will do it well.

I went to a live Lil Dicky show back when I was in college and it was terrible. Didn’t play a single full song and let radio edits play while saying a few words over the vocal track. Each song lasted 30 seconds and he left before even 10 mins. This was a full price concert ticket too.

I love ur videos Patrick ❤

WOW! Your content is TOP TIER!!! You are EXTREMELY talented!! You'll have 10m followers in no time!!

I’ve always wondered about his come up story / career. I’ve never known anyone into his music but he’s always around on the Internet // TV. Good for him!

Lil dicky is like reverse Donald glover

Dave was actually a phenomenal show… i was genuinely excited af to finish work and be able to watch it. Wish i could watch it again for the first time haha. Hes got tons of potential

So happy he’s getting his flowers I listen to his freestyles too often and I’ve rewatched Dave too many times to count. I love Dave so much also shout out Gata ❤

Patrick thanking the sponsor knowing that bag good this time 😂 Great video as always man

We still waiting on his new music that will never come 😢

Love ur videos bro❤❤❤

Almost scrolled past this, so glad I didn't. Well done, Patrick. Brilliant, as usual.

If Lil Dicky's music in the vault is anything compared to his show, he's right.. it's probably incredible.. Lil dicky is making Martin Scorsese level content..

Lil Dicky is a satire rapper. Believe it or not he's actually trolling the rap game. Brilliantly.

LD = marketing genius Edit: & a really good rapper & comedian as well.

I’m liking this kinda content it be really informative sometimes

ill always love lil dicky no matter what he does honestly, its clear hes talented as hell. this feels right? like this is where he was meant to be. i feel like he got what he wanted, which was respect from the rap game, which i feel like having all the cameos in your show speaks to. while also being able to display his talent as a rapper, comedian, and entertainer in general. for me, it doesnt really matter if he fails, cause he's alrdy accomplished what he set out to do if that makes sense. i do hope he has continued longevity, thats not something most artist have (and i dont think they need it, it doesnt diminish what they did do ya kno?) sry4ramble but this was great.

I think it's funny that Lil Dicky talked a big game on Professional Rapper w absolutely no intention of backing it up. Never took him seriously again

Bro love all ur vid

the way you intergrate the sponsers is genius.

even if he falls off he had monumental success in both the rap/hollywood industry

Went to grab some water to properly enjoy another pat cc banger

This is what I want from PatCC 👌🏿

I cannot believe... that I did not know... that Brain dropped a Mixtape. and it's fire. Subscribed!

i unironically listen to his songs as if they weren’t funny asf and know every word, then when i sit and think about it i crack up LMAO

dave is a great show and needs more praise

Next season of Dave will have an episode where Lil Dicky sees a viral RU-vid video like this one and it messes with his head

Great video

patrick cc the goat content maker

Ive been thinking about this since season 2 of his show.

I’ve seen an ad for the show once or twice. But had no idea people were actually watching this stuff

Great video Lil Dicky was funny as hell when he came out. I wondered what happened to him.

so crazy to think i actually used to listen to dicky in 2016 and saw him live the life that his show is showcasing

Pillow talking is one of my fav songs! Dave is also a super good show. I think whatever LD does it’ll be great. Smart smart guy!

He is where he wants to be, this is what he said he wanted and was probably his plan from the beginning, The best thing his fans can do is just be happy and supportive for him.

I felt the same way when he started talking about the show. I tried watching his show a couple times, but it is not for me. Rap is a joke now days.

Ive always liked lil dicky because he always stayed true to himself and is never involved in any sort of drama just a funny dude doing what he wants and suceeding. Real inspirational

I just come to your videos to stay hydrated man.

Seen ads for his show, and thought I would check it out, but ur last bit about him basically beating a dead horse made it clear...I'ma start the wu show

High quality video! Please post 2x per week we need this!
