Lil Dicky finds himself understanding “slime language” first-hand during a topical “Dave” encounter with Young Thug & Gunna.
It’s been five years since delivered his debut studio album, but the comedy-rapper was hardly resting on his laurels.

Given everything going on in the world right now, the clip certainly resonates on a variety of levels.
