More rappers than ever before talk about needing therapy these days. But Offset taking issue with this particular sketch is also striking, given that it was commenting on hip-hop’s relationship with vulnerability. The offense at seeming like “dodo birds” likely stems from the lazy and common caricature of rappers like Migos as simpletons. And then, I felt like it was interpreted like we was some dodo birds.” “We didn’t like that skit, cause it was like total opposite of the Migos,” Offset told GQ.
It turns out that the Atlanta group satirized by the sketch was annoyed by it. Kenan Thompson immediately hooted, in a clear send-up of Migos’s famous ad libs, “Lambo!” “I feel like every time I bring up emotional conflict, he wanna talk about the Lambo’,” Chris Redd’s chains-and-florals-wearing rapper told the bespectacled psychologist played by Cecily Strong. One of the only genuinely funny SNL parodies of hip-hop came last year, when the show imagined a rap trio, The Friendos, in therapy.
