Frugal rapper tells fans to 'Save Dat Money'

Sometimes all you have to do is ask.

That’s what rapper and comedian Lil’ Dicky (a.k.a. David Burd) did when he endeavored to create a lavish rap music video on the cheap.

Burd wanted to film a video for his rap song “Save Dat Money,” which commented on, and ironically featured, the glamorized excess often found in rap videos. However, the goal was to do it in a fiscally responsible manner, in accordance with the song itself.

In order to accomplish such a feat, Burd asked various homeowners/boat owners/club owners if he could film in their facilities for free, using two video cameras and no lighting.

Surprisingly, a handful of people actually agreed to the unusual stunt.

Thus, the “Save Dat Money” music video was born. The video manages to feature a mansion, a yacht, a Lamborghini, a wild dance club, T-Pain’s music video shoot, the girls from Broad City, Sarah Silverman, Mark Cuban, Hannibal Buress and more.

All for free.
