Everybody on My Dick Like They Supposed to Be is a hip hop mixtape by English-American singer-songwriter and musician Paul Banks, best known as the frontman of the band Interpol. Self-released by Banks on January 25, 2013 through DatPiff,[1] it was originally intended to be a pre-release bonus for Banks' second solo studio album, Banks (2012).[2]
In contrast to Interpol's rock music sound and Banks's solo work, the mixtape features hip hop tracks and lo-fi hip hop instrumentals, all produced by Banks. It also features guest appearances from rappers El-P, Talib Kweli, High Prizm, and Mike G.[3]

Pitchfork critic Jayson Greene panned the mixtape, writing that none of the tracks from the record "[are] remotely salvageable". Greene also compared the instrumentals to those "on YouTube made by well-meaning college sophomores", concluding that there is "no effort, vision, or craft in this music".[4]
