Lil Dicky - Russell Westbrook On a Farm Reaction

[@tesdrenga3517]

the "wait, who's taking care of my farm" line is really one of the most hard hitting bars for me. the imaginary "Russel" got so caught up in his success that the farm that he grew up taking care of has become an afterthought. To me its a metaphor for the sacrifices we all make to reach our goals. Doesn't each and every one of us have a hobby, friend, loved one etc, that we've had to leave behind at some point in our lives? this song is fire, absolutely incredibly storytelling.

[@jiveturkeeymc]

exactly my interpretation

[@MrRagston]

It's the correct interpretation.

[@Nitemerican]

This is why LD is hundreds of levels above most in the rap game.

[@ericmcdonough6771]

this is the way

[@BadDubII]

"Whos taking care of my farm" isnt really random. Its still within the Russell Westbrook on a farm analogy. He's thinking back to his farm and what his life would have been like if he never went out of his comfort zone and found the basketball.

[@juliencormier7062]

Had the same thought. It was super purposeful as a 'what if'

[@artemis3531]

I also thinks it's about how his plan had his whole family planned out, and now that he left that lifestyle, his friends, family, everyone from there is not in his life after he reached his heights.

[@kmanringstad]

Yup exactly

[@Ravioli1612]

He was too high lol

[@kodyballard76]

Really hits harder now with the success of "Dave", the scripted comedy show route was always what he wanted to do so thanks to his blowup in rap, he's had an opportunity to go home back to "his farm"

[@MkShantrul]

You are my new favorite reaction channel man you doing your thing also.

[@ewolffman]

oh for sure! i always tune in for LD content! do literally anything haha

[@cjrock32]

Funniest part is that this is the Drake - Pound Cake beat so the beat wasnt made for him he just rode that thing crazy.

[@sethmossberg1946]

Right! I was like wtf especially since this channel projects the aorua of an authority on hip hop.

[@stonemansteveiii3135]

@@sethmossberg1946 Drake is the most pop and lowest rung on the ladder of real rap!! Not knowing it was his beat is strange as I haven't been able to avoid him, but doesn't mean shit as far as knowledge goes!

[@sethmossberg1946]

@@stonemansteveiii3135 actually it factually means a lack of knowledge. Say what you want about Drake but that is one of the most iconic beats of the last decade. For someone who three chords in claims he can name not only an era but claim something so specific as to narrow down the kind of beat to a two year window comes of as bewildering that he hadn't heard that beat. 🤷‍♂️

[@57kwest]

@@sethmossberg1946 umm, I'm an old school hip hop head and PURPOSELY avoid anything that Aubrey is attached to. I don't listen to pop chick music and that's what that ho "makes".. Or MADE FOR HER. the only reason I know the name pound cake is cuz of reactors. This is LD's beat. Nuff said.

[@sethmossberg1946]

@@57kwest I'm an old school hip-hop head too who grew up in Queens, NYC. The actual epicenter of hip-hop. I lived it...didn't just listen to it. Literally was is in several freestyle ciphers in Lefrak City with NORE from CNN. Where were you? The thing is I have a wife and two daughters and we all listen to music in the car. It's too bad you are closed minded and arrogant. You're missing some pretty fire new music. Drakes catalog also has some bangers but you're too masculine and cool for it. I understand bruh...

[@joshthian]

In response to your statement at 6:53 it's because people before 2016-17 were trying to cancel him and plain out hating. Even r/hiphopheads silenced him off of a few upvotes from a post scandal. He even had to take down the song "white dude" on his channel. Lil Dicky's own music on his channel used to be not recommended on KZbin, only his freestyles which is obviously on a channel that isnt his.

[@EKLIPz08]

The whole Russel Westbrook story was an analogy of his music career. Basically saying that he could have continued on the normal path, but discovered he could rap and decided to follow that path. Same as how in the story Russel could have lived his life as a farmer, but found basketball and his new passion.

[@lamardavis688]

Yeah, that “who taking care of my farm” line isn’t random it’s him missing his old life even though he likes his new one too

[@Onikame]

@@lamardavis688 Yeah dude. I scrolled down to make sure someone hadn't said this already. That line always hit me hard. We gotta pick a path, whatever that path is. It's especially rough when you're already on a path then you go off on another one. That old path doesn't leave us. We can still miss it without regretting leaving it.

[@chadtedder6068]

Sometimes I wish the reactors I like catch the bars like we do.

all 3 of you, thumbs up... well said

[@moneyboy503]

@Giannis Antetokounmpo haven't heard of VibeVilla but I'll check him out. Check out Stevie Knight. He's hit or miss but he has great breakdowns sometimes. KnoxHill is a rapper who's not bad himself but he does in depth reactions. I watch the full videos because his input is interesting but he can turn a 6m song into a 20m video but it's all usually entertaining. Same with another named WeSkeem. Everything I came to say was already said. I'm impressed

Dude the amount of content you upload is unmatched. Hustle is so real.

[@doophydontstop2898]

Forreals found him last week and trying to catch up on his videos.

[@private-nobody6667]

Lil D is perhaps the most well-rounded hip-hop artist in the game, so your list that includes him in your top-5 alive appears to be appropriate in my humble opinion. Solid reaction, no complaints.

[@douglaswilliams9779]

Completely agree

[@ballersd7233]

Drake, lil wayne, jay z , kendrick, j Cole , Eminem , nas , Kanye west ,and more he is not top 5 alive RELAX

[@jimjim8383]

@@ballersd7233 bro Wayne ain’t close in that convo, Nas (one of my favorites) hasn’t been relevant for 20 years, and as for Drake and Jay go listen to Pound Cake (what this beat was sampled from) and compare the two. Eminem, J. Cole and Kendrick are up there for sure, but can’t think of any others that can touch LD.

[@ballersd7233]

@@jimjim8383 you’ve obviously never listened to Wayne if you saying he’s not even close in the convo that’s comical Lil dicky wouldn’t even have word lil in his name is it wasn’t for Wayne

[@jimjim8383]

@@ballersd7233 His name is literally a joke about his dick, and it’s a blast at all the lil’s out there. Lil Wayne makes catchy pop stuff, if that’s your bag then hop in, but lyrically he’s trash. Lil Dicky puts out a lot of goofy stuff, but his word play and delivery is fire. If you need something with some more Street on it check out Mysone. Similar word play but a vicious delivery.

[@narutolover1286]

I come back to this video of yours multiple times. Im sure you have versed up on the song and its meaning. Ive subbed for a while now to you because as a lot of these people agree, you are genuine. I see it in your face when that first bar hits you from this song because it caught me off guard too. I knew of lil dicky long before you discovered him, and actually discovered this song BECAUSE of your video. Been my favorite song for about 2 years now, and at 30, 2 years is a pretty solid streak. Id love to watch you react to Mo3 Soul Ties. 😊

[@narutolover1286]

Some random dude thousands of miles away listen to your reaction before listening to the song because I saw the title of the video. "What? I know them all what song is this? I've watched his FIR reaction videos (my favorite band) let's check this out then ill go listen to it."

[@spudmonky]

This is one of the only songs that I have ever encountered where you could read the lyrics without the song and understand the story he was telling in full. It is the greatest piece of poetry I have ever heard come in my own lifetime.

i have been waiting for a song to dethrone this as my #1 of all time for probably 2 or 3 years, but goddamn the 9:00 - 9:30 verse literally makes me cry how good it is. HOW.

[@trutoyrslf]

I got chills watching you discover this, I stumbled on this and Mr Byrd 8 years ago... it should be considered a rap masterpiece and you help me discover it one more time myself. Cheers.

You are my favorite reactor. This is currently his magnum opus in my opinion.

[@hahajaxsontv]

Holy God. I never heard this before. I'm with you on all these reactions. This is insane.

[@jameson5508]

It is extremely refreshing to hear an actual first time reaction to any song. I think that a lot of reactions aren't actually first time listens. That honesty is awesome. This is the mark of a great song. When you can listen multiple times and there's something different to hear each time, different dots to connect. Knowing that he was gonna look up the lyrics immediately, listen through again and realize he missed things in the first listen. Knowing in retrospect the source of the beat and parts of the concept of the song. But he posts the first original reaction anyways. That's real shit.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

60 yo white dude musician here , I know I'm late to the party but this is really strange because I hadn't subscribed to you and then I've been following some LD reacts, but from the first 10 seconds I realized I've seen you react to stuff till before, which is strange cuz typically I was on here before looking for Elvis Presley reactions and maybe some Led Zeppelin and stuff like that Lynyrd Skynyrd now and then just cuz I grew up on that shit as a kid and it's hilarious to see people from another Viewpoint encounter this and relate it. And believe me I don't know a lot about modern hip hop but I was there when rap started and I've been a fan even as a white boy since the beginning, not crazy into it but certain things I would obsess on over time. The last ones I really into or of course Snoop and all that but things like Blackalicious and most deaf and I don't know just around the edges of things it seems. But there's something about this reaction man, you just break it down and I love the fact that you don't feel the need to stop and break down every single bar. I think it's impossible almost this guy has so many layers to his triple entendras and rhyme schemes and cadences and Mix-Ups with his flow and all that stuff but he's smart and funny and it's just an interesting situation. But somehow you are right on top of it man. And I love the fact that you actually stop it comment and then rewind a little bit to let us get back in the flow. I've seen some of these Reactions where they're just so intent on breaking down every bar and I love that, but then they just continue right where they left off and you lose the flow. The bars are important but the flow is really important to me as a musician. Hats off sir.

The antagonist is another must. Hes also got a cypher that most people dont know about.

[@Keen_Peach]

I've been speaking of his talent for years. When I listened to this 4 years ago he was at 2 million views on Russell Westbrook on a farm. You should listen to the Cypher by him.

[@rollaids6845]

11:00 - 11:10 Lil Dicky was saying that the GOATS of the game have to show Russell no mercy, so they look like a dick for playing him like a pro. But Russell doesn't submit because he knows this is his time to shine, just like Lil Dicky has to stick on his path to shine. Some serious word play and definitely shows LD has got the rap game flipped upside down right now. He's a genus and i'm glad you're getting into him.

[@Ryan-mq2rx]

He's saying Russell looks like a dick. "So this goat-owning MF look like a dick" that's a double - he's owning these goats on the court, and he's got a farm so he owns goats. "But even tho Russell knows that (he looks like a dick for owning these goats on the court) he doesn't submit."

Can’t believe you didn’t recognize pound cake and the drake reference with the cover and nothing was the same

[@Ezzy762]

his line about who's taking care of my farm was not random. its a reference to not forgetting where you came from.

[@Bukkyplays]

The line you missed when he said "the goat look like a dick" is in reference to the previous bar where the "goats" are being hard on Westbrook and the newcomers cause to them ball is life. Basically saying the GOATs are being dicks to Westbrook and the newgen.

[@aaronwoodard2514]

Kidd is also a young goat 🐐

[@lawrencegray5403]

Nah, he's saying russell looks like a dick owning these fools who been doing it forever, but he keeps going

[@holesgetsdome4467]

Double entendre and the bar is "the goats been all in since they was kids, and this goat owning mf look like a dick" cuz he was a farmer in the story , probably owned acouple goats on the farm , and then the meaning you said too

[@TheSksexton]

Other than this, his Cypher and Bruh are my favorites of his lyrically. He SNAPS on Bruh.

[@misch2k]

LD worked at a marketing firm. Firm=farm.

[@xonealx918]

Lion king, the cypher, flames, growing up in the 90s

[@royce7200]

In the end he says "who's taking care of my farm. I really loved that farm.". Normally, I would leave that line for face value, however, Dicky comes out as surprisingly and oddly deep and thoughtful. I think the farm is still part of the original analogy with his life, referring back to RW farm is meant as his life before the career. We learned in his song "Molly" that he had to choose between his rap career or his long term love. He obviously went with his career as did RW. So, without this coming out the wrong way, his girl, and what likely would have been a normal life I believe, would be his farm. "Who's taking care of my girl. I really loved that girl.". Or I'm way too high and need to put down the tablet.

[@anthonycap7]
