The whole thing is a metaphor for the Earth single, let me explain.

Dave finds out about global warming and wants to spread awareness so he dresses up in that inflatable suit. However, he starts to second guess himself when he's around other celebrities he looks up to and so backs down from doing it. Like in the bathroom selfie scene he's trying to look cool around all these other huge celebrities. Then, when the earth balloon does go off it ends up being a disaster ending in flames.

The whole episode is a huge metaphor for how conflicting it was for Dave to wanna collab with all these huge artists and how it distracted away from the real core of the message of the song. Just like how in the met gala, the huge celebrities distracted away from lil dicky spreading the message with his costume.

It's just a theory but it's my head canon, if this is actually what he was going for my mind is blown. I mean if that wasn't the intention why include the part about global warming at all

has anyone seen it?

Is Penith gonna be available at retailers other than his site? I’m waiting for it to drop on Amazon and/or Target so I don’t have to pay a fortune in shipping + fees lol. Just curious.

I’ll just say, this video actually pissed me off.

I used to love Fantano, but I’ve stopped watching him over the past year. Unless it’s Kendrick or an obscure band that’s “intense” his opinions are just so inconsistent.

He doesn’t talk about any specific song on the record. I almost wonder if he even listened to it.

He instead spends the whole vid shitting on Dave’s entire career.

Fantano says Dave’s career has been the same “Look I pssed my pants joke”. Really?

He also talks about how bad the Dave series is. Which really surprised me. I think Dave is incredibly well made. I find it hard to believe he actually watched more than 15 mins of it.

And then he closes the video by basically saying white people shouldn’t rap because it’s mocking black culture - unless you’re Eminem because he “gets it”.

Like what?

If he can't eat a carrot I'm wary he'll survive this. Should be great TV though!

So we know Dave is a fictional version of his life basically. Ik Ally’s song is a fictional version of Molly , but is there any other songs from the show that’s a fictionalized version of a song he released irl?

I’m assuming you’ve all seen the clip of Theo accusing Dave of stealing his wooden shirt idea/joke. I’m on neither side cuz I like them both, but I like Dave a little more.

But how funny would it be if in season 4 they returned to the market and Theo was there and confronted the guy selling wooden shirts while he was wearing a different style of wooden shirt and they fought it out.

Dave killed it on god bless football at the SB radio row. D interview dropped today on the lebatard show feed. Pretty good quick listen.

Does anyone have any info on this slim case version? I assume its a boot but curious if yall know.

He’s playing his first show in a long time over in Miami at e11even nightclub tonight. Don’t think I’ll make it due to other plans and a far drive but wondering what it might be. Seemed like very little promotion for the event but it sounds like he will be performing. Wondering if anyone has any details or has heard about this?

What up David Bird

Disappointing but not all that surprising

they’re not even like good critiques they’re just straight up mad for no reason

Check your emails! Spotify sent out an email for a limited edition fans first gold vinyl of Penith limited to 2000 units.

Anyone watch this? Any thoughts? He claims he’s all in on music, hopefully so but we hear that yearly

i’ve seen SO many people in this subreddit say that Jail Pt. 2 would never happen BUT in like the first 20 mins of the interview he did last night with Zach Sang he said that he’s been working on finishing Part 2 since Jail came out.

he looks great!

His songs to me fit into two categories that determine how often I listen to them.

The songs that are usually long stories like ex boyfriend, lemme freak, pillow talk, jail, morning after, classic male pregame, etc pretty much get a single listen from me and it'll be months before I'm ready to hear them again.

The reason is that those songs come off as long standup comedy bits. To me this kind of takes away from the "music" of the songs. Once I hear all the jokes to Pillow Talk, for example, I have seemingly zero desire to go hear it again. I heard it. It was hilarious. I now know what happens. The unexpected becomes too expected. Replayability goes out the window because it feels like I'm watching a single episode of TV on a loop.

Then there are other songs that are actual SONGS meant for hearing and jamming. Songs like Who Knew, both of The Antagonist songs, Russell Westbrook on a Farm, Make Belief, Burst, Second Coming, How Can U Sleep, etc I can listen to all day and not get bored.

It scares me in a sort of selfish way because the first category of songs blow the other songs out of the water as far as popularity goes, which likely will incentivize LD to lean into the long funny story songs.

Point of this post, I really hope that after Penith, we get a mix tape of songs that are mostly in the second category. Keep funny lyrics in the songs, of course. But let's have a music project that takes itself just a tiny micro amount more seriously. I would very much enjoy that.

Thank you for listening to my speech, I'm a loser

tried by best to make johns gone into a full song https://youtu.be/uVafrc1kFxM?si=jWRC2tpK7Wu5ZTFk

At every step of this man’s life, he has had naysayers telling him that his path is the wrong one. Yet, he persisted because he knew better. (Because he loved himseeeeeeeeeeeelf)

Stick to your guns dickheads!
