His work is often seen as controversial, however, Dave believes it is a comedian's duty to broach difficult topics, and an obligation to make people laugh by confronting uncomfortable issues. Some of his topics include race, politics, homosexuality, gender roles and others. He has been awarded the Mark Twain Prize given to individuals who have "had an impact on American society in ways similar to Mark Twain."

Sin Boy is a trap music singer and he has influenced a lot of people in the modern Greek music industry. I personally think that he has influenced Greek music to the worst. Sin Boy's music is strictly explicit and he talks and sings about very idiotic things. He is not smart and his lyrics isn't anything to blow your mind with. He often does illegal things and consumes different substances. Sin Boy is considered a Greek/Albanian because his heritage is Albanian but he was born in Greece. You might be asking why I am calling him a cultural icon even though I haven't said anything good about him. Well the simple answer to that is that his music is REALLY catchy. I don't really like it but I might sing along to a few of his songs if I listen to them once in a while.
