Jack Harlow and Lil Dicky may have been at odds in last week’s episode of Dave but behind the camera, the two look-alike rappers had much more in common than just their similar features, sharing a slew of laughs in a series of outtakes Harlow shared on Twitter today. While their onscreen confrontation was all about Dicky’s discomfort at meeting his doppelganger — who displayed a healthy amount of contempt for his counterpart — in real life, it’s clear the two jokesters enjoyed each other’s company and riffing on Harlow’s scent-related insults.

Their reactions to the scene show there are no hard feelings between them after fans went out of their way to compare and contrast them on Twitter — likely because they are both, well, white rappers with lightspeed flows and similarly curly-topped coiffes. (For what it’s worth, they’re also both pretty decent basketball players, slotting pretty cleanly into the “fundamentally sound white hooper with a nice jumper” archetype — especially after Jack’s training for the White Men Can’t Jump remake.) They’ve both responded in their own ways to the memes — which Jack seemed to reference with his “hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters” boast on “They Don’t Love It” from Jackman — but from these easygoing outtakes, it’s clear that we’ve actually got the beginnings of a beautiful friendship on our hands (and maybe even a collab! Pretty please, guys!).

Jack Harlow Finally Makes “Dave” Cameo

by

Dave is one of the hottest shows on television. Starring, and loosely based on the life of, rapper David “Lil Dicky” Burd, the series has been a smash hit for FX. The currently airing Season 3, which holds a 100% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, follows Dave’s first major breakout in the music world. He’s been touring, met Rick Ross, and also fallen in love.

However, a cameo that many people were looking forward to was that of Jack Harlow. Harlow and Burd have long been compared to one another, both in terms of musical content and physical appearance. While Harlow’s appearance on the show is small, it’s memorable for tapping into exactly everyone about their non-existent beef.

Jack Harlow And Dave Feud At The Met Gala

Harlow appeared in the latest episode of Dave, May 17’s Met Gala. As can be inferred from the title, the episode is centered around Dave’s first appearance at the Met Gala. There he runs into Harlow, and the pair have a hilarious, and meta, argument.

Harlow: My name’s Jack, what’s your name?

Dicky: …

Harlow: What’s your name?

Dicky: Like my legal government name? ‘Cause I know you know my artist name. The whole reason that you’re even here is because I came first. Look at how you’ve modeled your whole physicality. I mean, surely you must hear it a lot.

Harlow: I do know you who you are. You’re actually the worst thing that’s ever happened to my career.

Dicky: Hard to compete.

Harlow: Being asscociated with you at all is….It’s tough, I can’t lie. But, I get through it, as you can see.

Dicky: It’s hard to be asscoiated with this level of art.

Harlow: It’s a breeze at the end of the day.

[both laugh as Harlow touches Dave’s outfit]

Dicky: Don’t touch. You can look but don’t touch.

Harlow: I’d rather touch almost.

Dicky: I’ll give it to you, you got hot.

Harlow: Some people wanna be hot, some people don’t. I get it.

Dicky [mimicking Harlow]: “Oooh, I put earrings in.” [In regular voice] If I wore those, I’d look like a woman.

[Harlow begins sniffing Dave]

Dicky: What are you doing?

Harlow: Mmm. You stink, bitch. I like that. [Harlow walks away and scoffs at Dave] Got beef? [Harlow grabs his crotch] ‘Cause I got a whole slab. [Harlow scoffs again before walking away] Pussy.

Dave Season 3, Episode 8, “Met Gala”

It’s a hilarious commentary on the similarities between the artists. Furthermore, it’s a creative imagining of the lengths their beef could go to if the pair were actively feuding. It’s unknown if Harlow will reappear in the show, but he’s definitely set himself up for some sort of villain arc if he does. However, what did you think of Harlow’s cameo, let us know in the comments.

Lil Dicky Pitches Stephen A. Smith Cameo On “Dave”

by

Dave is the smash-hit FX comedy loosely based on the life of, and starring, musician Lil Dicky. The show holds an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes and is well into its third season, which holds a 100% critics rating. Additionally, the show is available on FX and Hulu. Furthermore, Season 3 will conclude on May 31.

Furthermore, The show has become famous for its wealth of celebrity cameos. For example, the next episode of the show, which releases May 17, is set to feature Dave beefing with Jack Harlow at the Met Gala. However, the show has rarely touched on sports. This is a little strange, given its primary Philadelphia setting. Despite this, that might all change thanks to a new interview from Lil Dicky.

Lil Dick Has Perfect Idea For Stephen A. Cameo

With Game 6 between the Sixers and Celtics looming, First Take invited Lil Dicky, who is Philly born and raised, to talk about his work and the upcoming game. Furthermore, he gave a pep talk to the Sixers, who are one game away from the Eastern Conference Finals. However, he also had the opportunity to showcase his creativity for story beats. That came when Molly Qerim asked him how he would incorporate Stephen A. Smith into the show.

“Off the top of my head, I don’t know… I’m thinking about the Sixers and the Celtics, I’m just imagining: What if I got into a little bit of a gambling situation with the wrong bookie, and I need the Sixers to win or my life could end? And I find myself knocking on Stephen A.’s door at like 3 a.m. and telling him that tomorrow on First Take, he’s gotta do something that really eviscerates Jayson Tatum, to the point where it’s a distraction for the team. Something like… kind of a modern day Celtic Pride.” Smith then added that Dave could kidnap Tatum before Smith saved the day. The idea is hilarious, blending shades of Uncut Gems with Dave’s tendency to make a situation worse when trying to fix it. However, what do you think about Lil Dicky’s pitch? Let us know in the comments.

Lil Dicky Came Up With A Fantastic Idea For A Stephen A. Smith ‘Dave’ Episode Off The Top Of His Head On ‘First Take’

by

The Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers are nearing the end of their NBA Playoffs battle at the moment, with Game 6 of the series coming up tonight (May 11). Before that, though, Pennsylvania native Lil Dicky (aka Dave Burd) hopped on ESPN’s First Take today and showed just how quickly his brain can work.

During the chat, Molly Qerim asked Dicky what a Dave scene involving co-host Stephen A. Smith might look like. The rapper/actor didn’t need much time to think about it before replying:

“Off the top of my head, I don’t know… I’m thinking about the Sixers and the Celtics, I’m just imagining: What if I got into a little bit of a gambling situation with the wrong bookie, and I need the Sixers to win or my life could end? And I find myself knocking on Stephen A.’s door at like 3 a.m. and telling him that tomorrow on First Take, he’s gotta do something that really eviscerates Jayson Tatum, to the point where it’s a distraction for the team. Something like… kind of a modern day Celtic Pride.”

Smith then came up with his own idea involving Dicky kidnapping a red-hot Tatum before Smith comes to the rescue.

Elsewhere, Dicky gave a pep talk to the Sixers ahead of tonight’s game, so check out the segment above.

Jack Harlow And Lil Dicky Have Beef (‘A Whole Slab’) In A Hilarious New ‘Dave’ Teaser

As the ongoing third season of Dave rolls on, Dave Burd/Lil Dicky is recruiting more and more celebrity firepower to guest-star in episodes. Rick Ross and Killer Mike popped up in last week’s show, for example. Now, Dicky is teasing what promises to be a fantastic Jack Harlow appearance.

A teaser video shared today (April 19) shows an encounter between Harlow and Dicky (who have been compared before) at what looks like the Met Gala. Harlow sniffs Dicky and tells him, “You stink a little bit: I like that.” Dicky retorts, “I see that you put on platform shoes to appear 6-foot-5.” Harlow replies while holding his crotch, “You want beef? ‘Cause I got a whole slab.”

Elsewhere, Rachel McAdams, Travis Barker, and Don Cheadle also make brief appearances in the clip.

A new episode is set to premiere tonight, so it appears we’ll get a look at Harlow (and McAdams, Barker, and Cheadle) on Dave soon.

In a recent interview with Uproxx, Dicky explained why he wouldn’t have wanted to be in Harlow’s White Men Can’t Jump remake, saying, “For me to be in a basketball movie, I would have to really dedicate my life to the game. If I’m going to be in a full-length motion picture about basketball, I would just care so much about just the footage of me, and that would require dedicating my life to the game. And I don’t think I can do that right now.”

Check out the teaser clip above.

Jack Harlow and Lil Dicky Trade Barbs In New “Dave” Clip

by

Season 3 of Dave is well underway. The show, which presents a fictionalized version of Lil Dicky’s life returned to Hulu and FXX on April 5. The season, which follows Dicky’s first tour, has been rife with celebrity cameos. Most recently, Rick Ross and Killer Mike stopped by in episode 3. It’s a fitting escalation as the show finds itself in a place where Dave/Lil Dicky is finding musical success. The show has also been a continued success, currently holding a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The show’s celebrity counter is set to rise even higher based on a trailer for its next episode. Seemingly set around The Met Gala (and mysteriously titled Wisconsin), the brief trailer posted to Twitter featured Rachel McAdams, Don Cheadle, and Usher. However, it saves the best for last with the appearance of a musician that Lil Dicky has often drawn comparisons to.

Jack Harlow Gets Weird In “Dave” Episode 4

The highlight of the brief trailer posted to social media is an interaction between Dave and Jack Harlow. Presumably while at The Met Gala, Dave is approached by Harlow who proceeds to sniff him before saying “You stink a little bit, I like that”. There are also some serious bedroom eyes being laid down by Harlow. Dave, dressed in an oversized coat (Met Gala gonna Met Gala) retorts with, “I see you put on platform shoes to appear six foot five.” As Harlow backs away, he replies “You want beef? Because I got a whole slab” while grabbing his crotch. The whole thing was presented alongside a tweet from Lil Dicky that simply read “Fuck you @jackharlow”.

So is Harlow about to become a recurring antagonist that Dave must overcome in his rise to stardom? The trailer makes that implication, while also making Harlow wonderfully weird. His actions and delivery sell a slightly unhinged and parody-esque portrayal. It could also speak to a plot point for the rest of the season, especially considering that a future episode is titled #RIPLilDicky. However, whether its a recurring role or a brief cameo in Dave’s whirlwind tour of the music world, it’s sure to be hilarious. Dave Season 3 is currently able on FXX and Hulu.

Lil Dicky Is A ‘Rapper’s Rapper,’ According To What He Says ‘All-Time Great Rappers’ Have Told Him

Lil Dicky has taken a lot of flak over the years for his comedic approach to hip-hop. He’s been seen as a gentrifier and interloper, an opportunist, and even as problematic for some of his antics over the years. This has given him plenty of content for his semi-autobiographical FX show Dave, but while the show benefits from being able to laugh at the critics and Dicky himself, it also gives Dicky the platform to prove one thing about his artistry: He can rap like nobody’s business.

He pointed out as much in a new story in The Hollywood Reporter, addressing the criticism from rap gatekeepers while also noting that many of his contemporaries and inspirations have mad respect for his mic skills. Of the detraction, he says it mostly comes from “elitist, hipster journalists who thought that it was their place to speak on behalf of hip-hop,” while the praise comes when “I’m meeting the all-time great rappers and they’re telling me, like, man, I’m a rapper’s rapper.” According to THR, some of those names include 50 Cent and Busta Rhymes, while his show has featured comedic turns from Young Thug, Doja Cat, Rick Ross, and Killer Mike.

Speaking with Uproxx about Dave‘s third season, now airing weekly on FX, Dicky talked about how splitting time between the show and music has forced fans to wait for more of the latter. “I just know that my fans are starving for music,” he said. “I’m well aware of that. And the show takes up so much of my time that I didn’t want people to think that I’m just an actor playing a rapper now. I just want to remind people that I do make music. And I love music, and I think it’s really cool and unique to the show. And I don’t think any other show could do that.”

Rick Ross And Killer Mike Showed Off Their Comedic Chops In ‘Dave’s Latest Cameo-Packed Episode

Lil Dicky’s tour stopped in Atlanta for this week’s cameo-packed episode of Dave, leading to appearances from some of the city’s most recognizable faces. The plot revolves around Dave and GaTa‘s efforts to retrieve Rick Ross‘ stolen chain after a night at the strip club as Dave agonizes over possible Twitter beef with Killer Mike. Dave tries to get Usher and Lil Gotit, Mike’s fellow Atlantans, to assist before he goes to confront the man himself at a Black business brunch (don’t worry… he was invited!).

The episode gave Ross and Mike, two charmingly effective comedians in their own right, a chance to really flex their funny muscles alongside Lil Dicky, playing off of his neurotic energy with a combination of sanguine interest and outright confusion. Mike really gets the upper hand on Dave Burd’s heightened self-parody, conning Dave into giving the money he didn’t have to ransom Ross’s missing chain to support the cause. The show’s fans certainly seemed to enjoy Dave’s Atlanta-based misadventures:

Of course, if you’ve been following Rick on social media at all, you know the man born Leonard Williams is about as naturally funny as a human being can be. From self-gardening his massive estate to save money, to keeping a herd of buffaloes as pets, to avoiding Teslas because he doesn’t trust self-driving cars, he’s a walking meme — and seems to be a pretty good sport about it. Just check out his reaction to almond milk.

Lil Dicky Seemingly Addressed The Backlash From His 2018 Chris Brown Collaboration: ‘I Know That My Heart Is Good’

Lil Dicky is an acquired taste, and the entertainer is absolutely ok with that. The Dave star has no problem leaning into his quirkiness, even if that means awkwardly sharing too much information with other celebrities, including Usher and Larry David. The comedian has no regrets about being his naturally offbeat self. Another thing the musician doesn’t regret his past collaboration with singer Chris Brown.

During his recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lil Dicky joined the likes of Chlöe when recounting his 2018 song “Freaky Friday.”

“I love that song. I still love that song. It went to No. 1 in multiple nations, and without that song, I don’t know that I could have made [a charity single] like ‘Earth,’ where I raised, like, $3 million [to fight against climate change],” said Dicky.

Dicky seemingly acknowledges what his former collaborator has been accused of by adding, “I know that my heart is good. I really do. I don’t lose sleep at night about my heart. And you can never be perfect, and sometimes I’ll still be dumb and unaware, but I really do care so much about doing the right thing.”

The entertainer closed with, “And listen, I get why someone wouldn’t like a Lil Dicky song, but I’d never be ok with someone being like, ‘That guy’s an asshole,’ or ‘That guy’s a piece of sh*t.’ I’ve never had that experience as Dave Burd, the man, so for my art to cause that reaction, my God, it really hurts me.”

Chis Brown has not yet spoken on the matter.
