The Emmy nomination ballots are now closed, but in scouring this year’s entries, I was sad to see that “” composer Nicholas Britell didn’t submit the show’s seminal Season 2 rap, “L to the OG.”
Britell, who was in a hip-hop group in college, went back to some beats he created at the time, including one he felt would work for Kendall. After “Succession” creator Jesse Armstrong gave the go-ahead, Will Tracy and Adam McKay wrote the “L to the OG” lyrics and Britell put it all together, with Strong giving his input on the track as well.
“Disqualifications happen less frequently at the Emmys, but they do happen, and I’m sure that Britell was simply being honest and careful about his Emmy submissions,” writer Jon Burlingame, who covers TV and film music forEven without “L to the OG,” the award for outstanding music and lyrics is perhaps my favorite category in the entire Emmy race, perhaps because of how delightfully bonkers it’s become in recent years.
Things really took off for the category in 2007, when “Saturday Night Live” song “Dick in a Box” won against entries such as “My Drunken Irish Dad” from “Family Guy” and “Everything Comes Down to Poo” from “Scrubs.”
