Lil Dicky knows how to get people talking, and he did exactly that with his new song "Earth," which featured 32 other celebrities.

"Kanye West" made a surprise visit, but Kevin Hart did the voiceover for Ye, and we finally know why.

Dicky spoke with TMZ about the video, and why Ye wasn't able to record his scene.

I just couldn't get in contact with Kanye. 

When asked why Hart's Kanye played Kanye and not an animal, like everyone else, Dickey replied...

I just love Kanye and he's a big hero of mine.
