10 Hilariously Bad Musicians That Are Crazy Successful

10. Lil Dicky

Ok, so it might not be fair to put someone on here who is meant to be a joke rapper. After all, since his goal is to make us laugh in the first place, why should we rag on him that much if that's what he meant? Well, the devil is in the details, and Lil Dicky has been milking his talentless goodwill for the better part of a decade at this point.

Though some of his mixtapes like Professional Rapper actually had a handful of jokes that landed, the fact that he's actually trying to be put on the same level as pop stars is borderline nonsensical. Throughout the past 5 years, songs like Freaky Friday have been known as the worst kind of bottom of the barrel pop music you can think of. Granted, any musician who decides that glorifying Chris Brown is a good idea probably doesn't belong on the charts to begin with.

The real icing on the cake though has to be Earth, complete with a wholesome environmental message and a whole break in the action where Dicky actually tries to talk to us about climate change. For God's sake dude, you weren't even that great of a rapper...you can't decide to go full Bill Nye now. Although Lil Dicky probably meant to be funny on many different occasions, the greatest joke he can possibly muster is trying to be deep.
