You can't be picky with this type of shit."īurd demurs. "As far as being a rapper, some of the shit that comes towards you-hos, sluts. "You should take advantage live a little," GaTa advises Burd. GaTa finds all this disturbing, and they are constantly arguing about it. He wants to add Pop-Tarts and "a lot of Perrier." He's a "Professional Rapper" who still doesn't act like one. His rider has the cinnamon-flavored liqueur Fireball on it, and face wipes. ("I'm getting better, though.") Sometimes onstage he can't keep rapping because he starts dry-heaving in the middle of a verse. He's not afraid to admit he finds having sex with a woman for the first time terrifying and that he considers himself clumsy in the sack. He calls this his "Looking for Love" tour, because he genuinely hopes he's going to meet his wife-to-be on the road. He raps about Adderall and soda water, not weed and Alizé. I doubt it's about shampoo and body wash, but this is a big part of Lil Dicky's appeal: He has yet to shed the neurotic facets of his personality just because he's suddenly a popular musician. I'm trying to imagine what the conversation in the next dressing room over is like. "I want to go somewhere that has product," Burd says. "Do you think they sell any soaps around here?" Burd asks his manager, Mike Hertz. As the curly-haired advertising copywriter-turned-rapper from the upper-middle-class Philadelphia suburb of Cheltenham prepared to take the main stage at Bumbershoot, he's more focused on getting clean than he is getting laid.

Lil Dicky surprised the hip-hop world in August when his debut album, Professional Rapper, hit the top of Billboard's rap chart, thanks in no small part to a duet with Snoop Dogg on the title track and the resulting video, which racked up more than 8 million YouTube views. "I don't think I've gone more than 24 hours without showering at some point in the last five years." "I get incredibly sweaty and feel terrible," he says.
"Body wash, shampoo."Ī few minutes earlier, Burd had discovered the dressing room's most critical feature: showers-a "game-changer" because they mean Burd won't have to schlep back to the hotel after his set. "We've got to get product," he says, with a sense of urgency. But he's not concerned with "bitches" at the moment.
"Where am I on this thing?"īurd's hype man, GaTa, stretches out on the couch and says, "I need some bitches, man. "This is probably the biggest dressing room I've ever had," Burd says, as he scans the festival's poster for his name. It is early afternoon on a gray Saturday in Seattle, and David Burd has just checked into his spacious dressing room in the Seattle Center, hours before the scrawny Jewish rapper, who calls himself Lil Dicky, is to perform his biggest show yet, at the Bumbershoot music festival.
