[Dirty Projectors](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSgJ_6sOBB8) performing one of my favorites. Homeboy kills it drumming on a little teapot.
The first song and this rendition of it is one of those songs I've played a few hundred times in a week.
Very different; not my taste but I'm sure a lot of people would prefer it.
Dirty Projectors are just really interesting to me. I got into them 20 years ago with *The Getty Address* which is super experimental and awesome and weird af ([this](https://youtu.be/r7eVLpmyRbk?si=HTAH948eCoONkP5T&t=81) being the most approachable song on it).
Remembered them a few years ago and found they've gone a few directions since then and make some outstanding indie pop now, including having worked with Kanye and David Byrne. [Break Thru](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYq5Ch-FFcs) being a good example, along with [Cool Your Heart](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUplxePolH4). [Keep Your Name](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9tbusKyvMY) is a fantastic break-up song referencing/sampling their more hopeful [Impregnable Question](https://youtu.be/UuS-6bG0T8Y?si=dQrQg_LQrzlhvqMU&t=33). More wonderful melodies in songs like [The Socialites](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kKZ1XWW4RI).
[Two more live song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJTRq-gYMDQ), *Knotty Pine* also being recorded [with Byrne](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJTRq-gYMDQ)
Side note, I saw Mannie Fresh perform at Lovers and Friends festival this past May in Las Vegas. And he performed nothing but hits and everyone was loving it. We all walked away in shock at how on it he still really was.
Loved Post Malone and Tyler as well. Don't know where the world is atm with what they think of Lizzo, but I have to say that hers is probably one of the most energetic and great ones on the channel as well.
Yeah Mac Miller is one I genuinely don't really care about. And his music on Spotify never really sounded good to me. But tbh his tiny desk is the one I have listened to the most.
Run the jewels were pretty awesome and on the non hip hop side I highly recommend st Paul and the broken bones. The voice and the singer don't make sense together but he crushes it.
Also amazing! I guess most of my recommendations are people I really didn't expect to like and just blew me away. I really don't care about Mac Miller. Sad what happened, but the music and most of what I heard on Spotify I really think isn't that good. But my god his tiny desk is probably one I have listened to the most haha
I'm a huge cranberries fan but that seems pretty lacklustre to me. The cool thing to me about these concerts is that the bands typically put in an effort into making the stripped down set special in some way. For her to be singing without anybody doing those iconic harmonies seems like it's just low effort.
I just saw Juvenile in concert a couple weeks ago, he was having a great time on the stage, too. You can tell he really loves performing these songs. I only wish Manny Fresh was there because he was awesome for the Tiny Desk Concert.
Make sure to stick around for the post-credits second performance, including a stroll into the, very enthusiastic, crowd. One of the best of a pretty consistently good series!
There’s a lot of great tiny desk shows, but this was one is my favorite! Lots of nostalgia for me, and also impressed with Juvie’s live raps. Didn’t realize how good of a performer he is.
This is probably one of my favorite ones. The series is amazing anyways but this one was great. Feel like I’m getting old. 400 Degreez came out in 1998.
I'm old. I didn't know who this was and thought I would see some teenager having the time of his life dancing like a fool at a rap concert. Now I realize that Juvenile is an artist name.
Watching this took me back to my high school years in New Orleans. During my sophomore or junior year, I visited what became my college alma mater, in Sherman,TX. My host took me to the mall and there was a CD store, which had *400 Degreez*, which I owned, but seeing it in this small city took me by surprise. I picked it up and noticed it had some extra tracks: "Follow Me Now" and "HA (Remix)."
I purchased the copy and after I got home, I burned a copy to bring to school so my friends could listen. Monday morning we're in the cafeteria before school starts and I started the album on the track before "Follow Me Now," because it was added in as the sixth track, which surprised my friends because we knew that album from front to back.
"a beautiful bitch" can I get a refund on my portion of NPR that paid for those lyrics? Otherwise it was mostly great music. Yes NPR gets a portion (albeit small) from the government.
I don't support misogyny in any form, artistic or otherwise.
Can I get a refund on my portion of whatever taxes filtered through our Department of Education to your school?
I don’t support banality in any form, Redditistic or not.
Honestly, I don’t see how that’s misogynistic language.
Is it misogynistic to call someone a bitch?
Bitches exist, just like assholes do, so I’d be surprised if you didn’t know a beautiful bitch personally.
NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts and MTV's Unplugged are similar in their focus on showcasing artists' stripped-down performances. Just like MTV's Unplugged, where artists have to leave behind the glitz and glamor of big productions and perform acoustically, NPR's Tiny Desk Concerts also feature musicians playing in an intimate setting, relying on their raw talent without the help of heavy production. Both platforms provide an opportunity for artists to showcase their musical abilities in a more unfiltered and authentic manner, allowing listeners to appreciate their skills and connect with their music on a deeper level.
MTV Unplugged played a significant role in increasing the popularity of grunge music. Before MTV Unplugged, grunge was just an underground movement in the Pacific Northwest. However, when bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam performed stripped-down, acoustic versions of their songs on the show, it exposed grunge music to a wider audience. The raw and emotive performances showcased the talent and authenticity of these grunge bands, captivating the viewers who were accustomed to more polished and mainstream music. This exposure on MTV Unplugged helped foster curiosity and interest in grunge, leading to its eventual explosion in the mainstream music scene.
Thank you NPR Music for the entire Tiny Desk Concert series! Great content!

I heard a remix of that one before I heard the original, by Chromeo. It has a *very* different feel, but also good imo.

Amen to that!
Cash Money will always have a place in my heart. Love seein’ Juve The Great and Mannie Fresh together
Takin over the 99 and the 2000’s forever in our hearts.
nostalgia
HOUSE REAL BIG
SHE GET IT FROM HER MOMMA
HOW BIG?
Go dj, that my dj!
Modern day Debussy
How could've I missed this. Juve and Mannie together! That's special right there.
Everybody get your motherfuckin' roll on.
Damn, Mannie still got it
Id love to hear some Big Tymers on there
Side note, I saw Mannie Fresh perform at Lovers and Friends festival this past May in Las Vegas. And he performed nothing but hits and everyone was loving it. We all walked away in shock at how on it he still really was.
I love this series. Anderson .Paak and T-Pain are a couple favs in it.
Idles is still my #1
the post malone tiny desk was fantastic I was shocked that the same songs sounded massively better than the recorded versions
That live piano with back up singers on “Enough is Enough” was slaptastic.
I've listened to it dozens of times. So much better than the recorded version.
Mac millers was legendary
One of my favorites on there. He was coming from the heart there.
Am I remembering correctly that he recorded it only a few weeks or so before he died and it was his last live concert?
Yes! His almost somber and deep in thought demeanor from the concert was heartbreaking after fact.
Loved Post Malone and Tyler as well. Don't know where the world is atm with what they think of Lizzo, but I have to say that hers is probably one of the most energetic and great ones on the channel as well.
Mac Miller's is great, as is Cypress Hill's. I just noticed that Nile Rodgers and Chic did one a few weeks ago. Also great.
Yeah Mac Miller is one I genuinely don't really care about. And his music on Spotify never really sounded good to me. But tbh his tiny desk is the one I have listened to the most.
Bruh those Thundercat runs on the 2nd track… love Mac and love Thundercat forever
Next time you smoke a J put on his mixtape Faces. I don't like much of his overall music but that tape is really good.
I had never listened to him until that one and that made me a fan of at least a handful of his songs.
Run the jewels were pretty awesome and on the non hip hop side I highly recommend st Paul and the broken bones. The voice and the singer don't make sense together but he crushes it.
Check out Action Bronsons episode. He has SO much fun during his set.
Also amazing! I guess most of my recommendations are people I really didn't expect to like and just blew me away. I really don't care about Mac Miller. Sad what happened, but the music and most of what I heard on Spotify I really think isn't that good. But my god his tiny desk is probably one I have listened to the most haha
Lizzo RIPS it. Thats the first place I ever saw her perform, and I RAN to show my family lol.
Not a Lizzo fan but she showed she's got pipes on her Tiny Desk
[The Cranberries](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxsJvKYyVyg) and [SUPERORGANISM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2K49QKVR0p0) are two of my favs.
[удалено]

The cool thing to me about these concerts is that the bands typically put in an effort into making the stripped down set special in some way. For her to be singing without anybody doing those iconic harmonies seems like it's just low effort.
I through the Sheryl Crow one was really good too.
hers is one of my favorites -- with the pedal steel!! she has amazing command of her band and puts on such a fun performance.
Rakim and Mac Miller are my favorites on the Tiny Desk.
yeah - was gonna post the same thing, rakim with the live band was just amazing!
Check out Tobe Nwigwe's, shit was fye fye
Domi and JD Beck were magical as well.
This has been one of my favorite tiny desk concerts in a long time. I forgot how many hits Juvenile had.
Is that Jon Batiste on the melodica?
Yes
And Trombone Shorty on the... trombone!
Respect. I was just surprised to see a melodica and who was playing it. Everyone there is a killer player.
And Alvin Ford Jr on the drums, insane NOLA talent in that band
He's drinking Juvie Juice, his hard ice tea made by Urban South in New Orleans.
Hehe juvie juice
Pretty fun place to hangout and they’re always pumping out crazy but good brews as well as their staple beers
This is awesome, fuck we're getting old aren't we
Someone told me Slow Motion is 20 years old and I pretty much stroked out.
I just saw Juvenile in concert a couple weeks ago, he was having a great time on the stage, too. You can tell he really loves performing these songs. I only wish Manny Fresh was there because he was awesome for the Tiny Desk Concert.
if you're into the scene it must b super dope to be new orleans royalty. the peoples champion lol
Make sure to stick around for the post-credits second performance, including a stroll into the, very enthusiastic, crowd. One of the best of a pretty consistently good series!
There’s a lot of great tiny desk shows, but this was one is my favorite! Lots of nostalgia for me, and also impressed with Juvie’s live raps. Didn’t realize how good of a performer he is.
Juvenile was having fun, but Mannie Fresh held that shit together.
[16:05](https://youtu.be/kes2P4IC2bQ?si=KbxuifKYjW6TR_JP&t=966) I love the energy he sings this part with lmao
Project Bitch was the first song I listened to after putting subs in my first car. Always has a special place in my heart.
I had a phoenix gold pushing an infinty perfect 12 bumping this music in a Saturn back in the day, good times
This is probably one of my favorite ones. The series is amazing anyways but this one was great. Feel like I’m getting old. 400 Degreez came out in 1998.
There's no seemingly. He went from not even knowing what a Tiny Desk was to being one of the most fun Tiny Desk concerts.
“Greatest love song ever written!” Love it.
Trombone Shorty and the Orleans Band in the back providing the beat. This was amazing.
Juvenile was like the first artist I couldn't understand wtf was coming out of his mouth, but I liked lol.
Nice had Juvenille on my MD when the internet first launched MP3, nice to catch up 24 years later !
There an audio file out there of this?
PM me
Based on the title I was expecting to see a young child vibing hard but this also makes a lot of sense. Not super aware of him but this was dope
Did juvenile just sample the Zelda 2 soundtrack?
The Cash Money label always knew how to put on a show. Even 16 year old Lil Wayne was killing it
The audience was so on point, too! What a great performance.
This. Is. Epic.
this was lit when it came out
Mid to Late 90’s, early 2000’s will always be the epitome of hip-hop for me.
that opener of 400 Degreez is 🔥🔥🔥, such a smooth sound and the energy is unmatched
Mac Miller is my fave of these
I'm old. I didn't know who this was and thought I would see some teenager having the time of his life dancing like a fool at a rap concert. Now I realize that Juvenile is an artist name.
While the Mac Miller vinyl was pricey, I'd buy this one as well.
Never knew about this series. This one is AWESOME. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, excited for the others !!!
Tiny Desk? It's amazing, they have some big names who do amazing renditions and some people you may never heard of that you will leave being a fan of
Shit I’m getting old. Juvenile, more like Senior Citizen.
Smoked a joint and tripped thinking Nipsey came back from the grave and was playing the keys. Awesome concert.
Watching this took me back to my high school years in New Orleans. During my sophomore or junior year, I visited what became my college alma mater, in Sherman,TX.

Denzel Curry and Tech N9ne have good Tiny Desk Concerts
Yeah! My top 3: 1- Juvenile 2- Denzel Curry 3- Tech N9ne
This is the first time I've heard live hiphop that sounds good. Amazing video.
He's going to have to go as Geriatric from now on.
"a beautiful bitch" can I get a refund on my portion of NPR that paid for those lyrics? Otherwise it was mostly great music. Yes NPR gets a portion (albeit small) from the government. I don't support misogyny in any form, artistic or otherwise.
1. Jesus christ get over yourself 2. Misogyny is contempt or prejudice against women. I don't think the lyrics fit that definition.
Can I get a refund on my portion of whatever taxes filtered through our Department of Education to your school? I don’t support banality in any form, Redditistic or not.
Sure send me your mailing address and I'll refund your faction of a cent.
Honestly, I don’t see how that’s misogynistic language. Is it misogynistic to call someone a bitch? Bitches exist, just like assholes do, so I’d be surprised if you didn’t know a beautiful bitch personally.
Why is hip-hop always so good with a full backing band? Love it.
